The sickly iron fist beauty in Harry Potter

In short, after such a comparison, Dolly's impetuous mood calmed down.

Since making a wand is not as complicated as brewing a potion.

So how could Dolly, who could even persevere in Snape's Potions class, be stumped and retreat by wand magic?

So Dolly spent a whole week familiarizing herself with everything in the book.

Of course, the familiarity mentioned here is just familiarity.

The most Dolly could do was to look up the answer in the book when she needed some knowledge, instead of memorizing the entire text.

This is Dolly's normal level. Even if Dolly tries her best, it is impossible for her to memorize the book within a week.

It was obvious that Dolly's performance made Ollivander a little disappointed.

After all, he also hoped that his apprentice would be an unparalleled genius who could shock everyone with just one move.

But Ollivander knew very well that this was impossible.

Making a wand is a boring skill in itself, and few people in their family are willing to learn it, let alone ordinary wizard apprentices.

Ollivander recruited at least seven or eight apprentices in his life, but unfortunately no one could make it to the final step, and they had never even made a wand.

In comparison, Dolly was already very serious and careful.

Afterwards, Ollivander wrote a few simple questions on parchment and asked Dolly to answer them.

Although Ollivander did not allow Dolly to read the book this time, Dolly still answered most of the questions based on her memory and understanding.

Especially the part that Dolly understood made Ollivander's eyes light up.

For example, in the last question, Ollivander asked Dolly what a magic wand is.

If you are a complete outsider, you would probably answer: A wand is a tool used to cast magic. It is a short wooden strip with an inner core.

A more knowledgeable person would answer: Wands come in a variety of different woods and cores. Each wand is unique due to its material, core, length, etc. If you use a wand that is not your own, the magic will be greatly reduced.

But this is already the limit.

For wizards, what they study most is how to use the wand better, rather than asking what the wand is.

Kodoli's answer was, "A wand is an extension of the wizard's body. Its structure and craftsmanship help wizards release magic from the body, improving their ability to control their magic."

Ollivander could see that Dolly was only speaking in generalities.

But Dolly's words had already touched the core.

Why was Ollivander so insistent that the wand choose the wizard, and not the other way around?

That is because wizards' ability to control magic power is very weak, and it can even be said that it is getting weaker and weaker.

Most wizards can no longer feel the magic power flowing through their fingertips, and they can't even control it in their palms.

At this time, wizards can only rely on the delicate structure of the wand and the selected materials from magical animals to regain control of magic.

In this process, the wizard and the wand must become one, as if they were one life.

In addition to what was mentioned above, the wizard can no longer feel the magic at his fingertips.

Then the wizard can only be chosen by the wand, because the wizard has no qualifications and ability to choose the wand at all.

This is not just Ollivander's obsessive habit and style, in his eyes this is the real fact.

Of course, Dolly couldn't get past Ollivander with just this answer.

The next thing Dolly had to learn was to feel with her fingertips the different effects of each type of wood and magical animal material on magic.

This is a process that tests one's talent very much, and it is impossible to do it without talent.

In other words, as a wand maker, Ollivander must have a more sensitive magical perception ability than most wizards.

Only in this way can wand makers carve wands into tools suitable for wizards, rather than making wands into pieces of wood.

If Dolly doesn't do well in this process, then Dolly will become a theoretical researcher of wand studies and will know nothing about the final production of the real wand.

Apparently, this process also stumped Dolly.

Looking at the hundreds of types of wood on the table in front of him, Ollivander's request was very simple.

That is without using a wand and without touching the wood.

With your eyes closed, you can tell the difference between different woods.

Ollivander didn't expect Dolly to figure it out on her own, so he told her the trick directly.

That is to let your magic power stay at your fingertips, then let the magic power at your fingertips come into contact with the wood, and finally judge the type of wood based on the different flows of magic power fed back.

When Dolly first heard it, her mind went blank.

Are you really not bragging, old man?

Ollivander obviously saw that Dolly didn't believe him, so he blindfolded himself and demonstrated this miracle in front of Dolly himself.

To be precise, Ollivander's fingers were a full centimeter away from the wood, and it was still like playing the piano in the void. With just a light touch of his fingers, he could tell what the wood beneath his fingers was.

Even if Dolly stacked the three types of wood together, it did not deceive Ollivander's perception.

Only then did Dolly confirm that there really were people who could control magic to this extent and have a different perception of magic from others.

This made Dolly think of Luna.

Maybe the crazy girl Luna didn't just agree with her father, but she also really felt something that ordinary people couldn't feel?

Dolly thought so in her mind and began her own attempt.

She tried to gather her magic power into her fingertips, and then she found that she could not feel any sign of magic power flowing through her fingertips at all.

There's clearly nothing on my fingers, so how can magic power flow out?

And after all, what is magic?

Magic itself is something that cannot be seen or touched, but now she has to make it stay on her fingers. Dolly felt her mind go blank.

In this state, Dolly could not succeed.

Because the first element of magic is belief.

Only if you believe in the existence of magic and miracles can the spell be successful.

Dolly herself didn't think she could gather the magic power to her fingertips. In the end, even if Dolly kept rubbing her fingers on various kinds of wood, she couldn't get any response.

Dolly was stuck at this level for another week.

Ollivander's initial anticipation gradually turned into disappointment.

Although he never showed it in front of Dolly, she could see that he was indeed disappointed.

He might even be considering whether to find a reason to ask Dolly to stop, as he was worried that if he continued, it would hurt Dolly's self-esteem.

After all, being a wand maker is not a profession that everyone can do, and this profession is not worth a little wizard banging his head against the wall to squeeze in.

After all, this business doesn't really make much money.

Because the costs are high and the sales volume is fixed, it is impossible to make a lot of money.

Just before Ollivander was about to make a decision, Dolly moved.

She simply pushed all the wood away from her eyes, stared at her fingers, and began to think seriously about the relationship between magic and fingers, or the human body.

Since Dolly can cast spells with ease using her wand, it is impossible for her not to be able to gather magic power into her fingertips.

Because the process of Dolly casting a spell is itself a process of magic power flowing from her palm into the wand and then casting the spell, except that this flow process is like a human heartbeat.

You can be aware of it, but you cannot control it.

So what Dolly has to do is at least perceive this process.

She decided to use her index finger as a wand next.

Since magic can flow from the palm to the wand, it can also flow from the palm to the fingers.

So-called wandless casting is a similar process.

Since wandless spellcasting can be acquired through practice, then at least the process of gathering magic power at the fingertips can also be acquired through training.

So Dolly began to wave her fingers, pretending to be experimenting with spells or performing magic.

Ollivander looked a little puzzled at first, but when Dolly finally began to chant and tried to cast a healing spell, Ollivander opened his mouth in surprise.

He now understood what Dolly was going to do.

Most importantly, he felt Dolly was doing the right thing.

Isn't the process of sensing the wand that he mentioned actually the process of casting spells without a wand?

However, what their family learned was not actual spellcasting, but the perception of wand materials.

It's just because Ollivander never thought of combining the two, that Dolly's actions have opened his mind.

He turned, picked up his quill, and wrote a new page in his notebook.

Because if Dolly fails, Ollivander will need this knowledge to teach new apprentices or future generations.

Just based on Dolly's current performance, Ollivander already felt that the past half month had not been wasted.

Just as Ollivander put the quill back and was about to encourage or comfort Dolly for a moment.

Dolly's hand stopped.

Dolly's fingers, which had become swollen due to constant shaking, are now recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This abnormal recovery speed meant that Dolly had indeed cast a healing spell, albeit a very unsuccessful one, not even up to the level of a beginner.

But this proved that she really succeeded, and could even be said to have reached the threshold of wandless spellcasting.

It’s a pity that the skill doesn’t include the ability to cast spells without a wand.

Otherwise, Dolly would have to pull it up to level four or five first when she saw it.

Bring your finger to your mouth and blow on it to finally return it to normal.

Then Dolly began to recall the feeling she had just had.

She soon realized that, just as the professors had said, the essence of spellcasting is the process of believing firmly and then changing the world and creating miracles.

Because of the numbness, Dolly had forgotten that her finger was still just one finger, as if she was really holding a magic wand.

Only in this way can she achieve success.

Unfortunately, this is not enough, at least there is no way to analyze the wood provided by Ollivander.

She needs more detailed control, as well as more concrete imagination and control.

So is there any other way to do it?

Dolly thought for a few seconds and looked at her attribute points.

At this time, Dolly's attribute points are still the same as when she beat Quirrell.

Strength and Charm are 5 points, Vitality, Agility and Willpower are 3 points, Magic is 2 points, and Intelligence is only 1 point.

The attributes do not include the data added by Warm Jade and Magic Wand, and are also Dolly's most basic data.

As for attribute points, there are still a full 21 points.

It has to be said that after having the Bone Spirit, Dolly's speed in gaining attribute points has greatly increased.

It’s just that I can’t brew the Bone Spirit during the summer vacation, and in these two months I can only restore the attribute to 12 points per month.

But even so, by the time Dolly graduates during the summer vacation, she will have enough magic power to increase to 3 points.

But before that, she wanted to try a little intelligence.

It’s time to explore my own Miss more deeply.

So Dolly directly chose to add points and raised her intelligence to 3 in one go.

After all, only 3 attribute points have been consumed, which is affordable for Dolly, and 3 points of intelligence should be more effective than 1 point, right?

Dolly thought so and continued to twiddle her fingers subconsciously.

Then she seemed to see the wand on the table jump.

140 Make your own wand

Dolly paused, looking at her wand in surprise.
