The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"Of course it's not consuming the manipulator's magic power." Tom took out the remaining piece of magic silver he was using. He has transformed this piece of magic silver into a large magic reserve device, which can stably input and output magic power.

Tom handed the cylindrical device to Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall held it in his hand and weighed it, and immediately felt how extraordinary this piece of metal was: it was like a whirlpool, slowly devouring its own magic power. Soon, there was a faint surge of magic power in the circular core, and Professor McGonagall also felt a very rare feeling of fatigue: this was a sign of overdraft of magic power.

"Is this magic silver? I remember seeing reports a long time ago that alchemists invented such a metal." The properties of this metal touched Professor McGonagall's memory, "But this is still my first Seeing the finished product for the first time.”

She looked at this piece of magic silver and felt that with its help, she could indeed save some magic power: she just needed to charge it when she had free time.

Tom took the charged magic silver from Professor McGonagall and stuffed it into a hole reserved on the puppet's chest. At the same time, he removed a small cylinder from the magic silver. This small cylinder is exactly the same as the large cylinder of the magic silver block, except that it is much smaller.

This magic silver battery—or, more appropriately, a magic pool—was Tom's work this afternoon. He carved several groups of runes on it, so that in addition to functioning as a magic pool, it could also synchronize remotely, or "resonate".

Both the small cylinder and the large cylinder have a set of resonant runes. After these runes are carved, Tom's instructions to the small cylinder can also be synchronized to the large cylinder. However, the transmission distance of the command is limited and cannot exceed seven meters. If it exceeds seven meters, a synchronization device must be installed to transmit the instructions issued by Tom.

"Professor Flitwick, now I have to trouble you to solidify various curses on the dolls. Of course, in order to prevent the students from getting hurt, you also need to solidify their corresponding curses."

Solidifying magic spells on items is a common routine in the magic world. Merchants will solidify strange spells on various items to facilitate the lives of wizards and sell the goods more expensively. This operation is not difficult for Professor Flitwick.

He took out his wand and muttered words. One after another, the evil curses and their anti-spells came out from the tip of the wand and solidified on the surface of the doll's body, causing some wonderful lines to appear on the surface of the wooden doll.

After about a quarter of an hour, Professor Flitwick completed his work. The current doll's body is covered with mysterious lines. There is a hint of malice in these lines, which will make people shudder at a glance.

Tom found a suit of full body armor and put it on the puppet. This set of armor is used to protect these lines on the surface of the doll. Tom didn't want to have to go to Professor Flitwick to repair the puppet every one or two lessons.

Wearing a layer of armor can effectively prevent these lines from being damaged. Moreover, various defensive spells can also be applied to the armor.

About half an hour later, with the joint efforts of the three professors, the puppet was equipped with most of the common evil spells in the magic world, and several practical protective spells were also solidified on the armor.

Professor Flitwick wiped the sweat from his head, "If the students can block 70% of the curses on this, and then learn those protective spells, then I am sure they can pass the Charms class and Defense Against the Dark Arts." An excellent one.”

Professor McGonagall applied a transformation spell to the puppet, allowing it to move flexibly, make various complex movements, and attack the creatures in front of it based on instinct.

This requires extremely advanced transfiguration skills, and Tom feels that there may not be many people in the British wizarding community who can do it. However, in the duel between wizards, transformation has always been used very frequently.

If there is a huge gap in strength between the two sides, one wizard can even directly turn the opponent into an animal. This transformation is not like the Animagus. The wizard who transforms into an animal cannot maintain his sanity and can be said to be at the mercy of others. When there is not much difference in strength, the surrounding debris can be transformed into means of attack through transformation. For example, make round pebbles sharp and then smash them towards your opponent.

For a top wizard like Dumbledore, a transformation spell should be performed at the beginning of the battle to make the surrounding sculptures move and become his thugs and human shields. A wizard of Dumbledore's level must either have exquisite transfiguration skills or have good summoning abilities. Anyway, when your opponent pulls out a thug, you'd better have a thug, otherwise you'll be at a disadvantage.

Looking at the doll's bare head, Tom looked at Professor McGonagall.

Professor McGonagall sighed: Well, I still need to do something fancy.

With a wave of her wand, a white face appeared on the round wooden head. At the same time, blond hair also grew out, and a pair of green eyes appeared in the doll's eye sockets.

Professor McGonagall looked at Tom: Are you satisfied now?

Tom: Very satisfied!

"Very good, the semi-automatic combat doll is almost complete!" Tom was very satisfied. "Could you give her a name? What do you think of the title Senior Sister?"

Professor McGonagall waved her hand. For her, the name was not the key.

"I thought you would name it a knight or something." Although Professor Flitwick interjected, he didn't have much objection. What they are more concerned about is the subsequent production, because so far, this doll is still a semi-finished product. Lockhart still needs to complete the final critical part.

Tom casually said that if the students didn't like the name, he could change it.

The two of them watched Professor Lockhart sit back in his office chair and take out a large tool table.

Then, he pulled out a wooden stick and a feather from the drawer.

McGonagall, Flitwick:?

What did Lockhart do next, to both of them, like... making a wand?

"When I traveled around the world, I learned some wand-making skills." Tom answered the doubts in the minds of the two professors without raising his head.

"Walnut, fifteen inches, bird and snake feathers." Soon, Tom selected the main body of the wand. The walnut tree is involved in several ancient European legends, and the walnut tree was believed to be a gathering place for witches. As for the wand core, it was naturally because Tom was familiar with materials such as bird and snake feathers.

It's like building a power plant next to a coal mine. If you don't burn coal, how can you use wind power to generate electricity?

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick looked at each other: Gerald Lockhart had a lot of experience when he traveled around!

They watched as the carving knife and plane flew up and down in Lockhart's hand. Soon the walnut branch in his hand transformed into the shape of a wand.
