The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

In July, the summer heat is scorching, and the sun is like fire. The events in Albania did not affect the British Isles across the Channel. The British wizarding and non-magical communities are as calm as a backwater.

The Minister of Magic and the Prime Minister both have their own little tricks. Huck is battling wits with his cabinet secretary, while Bones' energy is attracted by the Quidditch World Cup final and the future Triwizard Tournament. Dumbledore put forward his own suggestions for modifications to the project content, which made Bones a little crazy, but there was nothing he could do about it: who made him Dumbledore!

Tom went to work in the alchemy workshop step by step. He has been very busy recently, and orders from Deluxe have taken up a lot of his energy. However, hard work paid off. When carving the magic text, he found that his understanding of the magic text was deeper and he became more and more comfortable in carving. This magic prop was completed ahead of schedule.

This is very comfortable.

The days flew by and the time agreed with Lucius Malfoy came.

"Mr. Malfoy, please look." Tom placed a box in front of Lucius.

Lucius opened the box and saw the five-sided ring inside. The ring is made of sterling silver and is just big enough to fit on your index finger. It has the Malfoy family crest on the front and some complicated patterns carved on the side and other surfaces.

Lucius had an unknown feeling.

"Are the four spells attached to this ring as required?"

"certainly."

"Then let me try." After saying that, Lucius put on the ring, raised his hand, and a stun spell was fired from the ring.

Tom didn't pull out his wand to resist - Deluxe's ​​ring was just finished and it was a good time to test it. He shook his index finger, and a glimmer of light flashed on the surface of the silver ring, and a transparent shield appeared in front of Tom, which bounced back the coma spell issued by Lucius.

Because the distance between Tom and Lucius was so close, Lucius had no time to draw out his wand. But he realized that his ring seemed to have an iron armor charm!

But he didn't seem to have a deep understanding of the mechanism of this ring. The magic spell on the ring is like the bullets in the gun. The most common one is a 20 Galleons single-shot "gun". To release a magic spell, it needs to be refilled. The most advanced one is Delix's privately customized props. , there is no need to fill the magic spell, and Lucius's is somewhere in between, a bit like a revolver, it can fire four rounds of magic spells and then refill it, but his four bullets have different shapes, so even if it needs to be filled, But it is also more expensive than the Delix ring.

Since the four spells are different, how should they be triggered?

Tom was very user-friendly and set up two trigger modes for him: manual and automatic. Manual triggering is to turn the side with the corresponding magic spell engraved on it to the front. When you wave your hand, the corresponding magic spell is triggered. Automatic triggering is simpler. If you keep waving your hands, the spells will be triggered in sequence in the order of Stunning Curse, Petrification Curse, Obstacle Curse, and Iron Armor Curse. If the spell has been used, it needs to be waved again - very similar to the triggering device of the revolver, which Tom also got inspiration from.

But Lucius didn't know the trick. He just stupidly took the ring and waved it.

Lucius's behavior was not so kind in Tom's eyes. Of course you want to inspect the goods, but can you wait until I'm ready? Was this sudden attack intended to snatch the ring and run away?

Of course, Master Lucius is a decent man, and Tom believes that he cannot do such things as hurting people and seizing treasures. His behavior at this time is completely unconscious.

This didn't stop Tom from giving him a little punishment.

This rebounded stun spell is the punishment from Tom.

Facing the coma spell that was so close at hand, Lucius waved his palm confidently, but the Iron Armor Curse he expected did not appear, instead it was a Petrification Curse.

Lucius watched helplessly as the stun spell hit his chest, and he didn't know what happened next. He collapsed on his back and passed out peacefully. Because he leaned back after being hit by the stun spell, he managed to avoid the rebounding petrification spell.

Looking at Lucius lying on the ground, Tom shook his head.

"Resuscitate quickly!"

Lucius' eyelids twitched and he woke up.

"Isn't your ring capable of releasing the Iron Armor Curse?!" He questioned Tom as soon as he woke up.

Tom:…

He patiently told Lucius the order of casting the ring, and Lucius frowned.

"This is different from what I thought. Shouldn't it be that you can use whatever spell you think of? Why is the order fixed?"

Why? Of course it's because Tom's technical level cannot achieve it. Does its ring also have its own Legilimency? This is really embarrassing for Tom.

Tom spread his hands and said, "Do you want it?"

Lucius thought for a while, "Can it be modified into a ring that can freely set the order of spells?"

Tom: (｀Д)!!

Lucius woke up the dreamer with one word. Of course his request can be realized! Modularization is not a complicated matter. Take Lucius's ring as an example. Tom can dig out the parts of the four spells, and then fill in some magic words in the holes left behind, and then he can realize his request-freely arrange the order of the spells.

Although it is a bit troublesome, Tom believes that he can get it done in a few days of research. After this modular magic prop is made, the alchemical creations he produces will really look like Muggle guns.

He imagined the scene of a future wizard duel in his mind: after the two wizards bowed to each other, one took out a wand, and the other took out a stick covered with small squares of magic silver.

Immediately afterwards, the traditional wizard was sieved by the high-level magic sprayed from the stick. The winner poured the magic silver cubes that had emptied the magic spell one by one on the ground, then took out a brand new magic cube from his arms, and loaded it into the stick. Looking at the loser at his feet with contempt, he said disdainfully:

"Sir, times have changed!"

This scene was so beautiful that Tom didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Moreover, it seems that he can also learn some lessons from Muggles? If these magic spells could be fired automatically, the rate of fire would be faster...

Magic heavy machine gun?

But it seems unrealistic.

Firstly, the production of magic resistance is not enough. Secondly, if a lot of magic spells pass through the magic silver tube, it will burst, but this idea may be further developed...

"Ahem, Mr. Seven?" Seeing that Tom didn't reply for a long time, Lucius couldn't help but clear his throat, asking Tom to turn his attention back.
