Active Potion

Brewing the Active Potion is a crucial step in wand making. Only by using an excellent Active Potion can the magical wood be activated, improving its compatibility with the Wand Core.

Compared to modern Potions, the Active Potion used to make wands typically utilize much older Potion Ingredients.

Ollivander specifically recommended several books for Wizet to read, so that he could understand the characteristics and effects of ancient Potion Ingredients and lay the foundation for the next step.

This can be seen as Ollivander's affirmation of Wizet, believing that this Ravenclaw can live up to expectations and understand the uses of those ancient Potion Ingredients.

As the start of the school year draws ever closer, the new students have all purchased their desired magic wands.

Ollivander's Wand Shop isn't so busy anymore; a new round of Wand-making tutorials has begun.

Ollivander, holding two spherical fruits, said, "Mistletoe fruits are divided into white and red fruits. White fruits are relatively easy to obtain and are suitable for the widest range of Active Potion."

"If you've already decided on your wand combination and need to use either the Dragon Heartstring or the Phoenix Feather, and you want to refine it further, then you can consider using the Red Fruit..."

He closed his mouth, waiting for Wizet to express her opinion.

This is a teaching method that can only be used for Wizet; by answering questions and resolving doubts, the memory of relevant knowledge can be deepened.

Wizet used her Magic Eye to observe the differences between the two types of mistletoe.

The Magic Circuit of the two fruits are almost identical, except that the Magic Circuit of the red fruit is clearer, which is a sign of better effect, or what is called striving for perfection.

After observing, he said, "In the era before wands, mistletoe was a common 'medium,' with healing and protective properties, and it was also the earliest healing Potions..."

"So its role in the Active Potion should be to restore the magic wood's activity through healing, and to protect the wizard and wand. Mr. Ollivander, is my understanding correct?"

"Excellent, just the right effect." Ollivander nodded in approval, leaving the ginkgo on the table. "We'll use this to practice when we start making potions later."

He picked up another bottle of golden liquid, which resembled golden quicksand. When he shook it, it looked as if he were stirring up a brilliant galaxy. His eyes showed anticipation.

"Oak sap, with its properties of strength and resilience, can greatly extend the lifespan of a wand and enhance the purity of the magical wood itself," Wizet said.

"Excellent! And this too..." Ollivander took out a bottle of emerald green liquid, "Clover Essence, to guide the Active Potion to blend better."

"In addition, due to the special properties of clover itself, adding Clover Essence can also promote a friendly relationship between wizards and wands."

"These three materials..." He put down the Clover Essence and gathered it together with the other two materials, "Are the foundation for the Active Potion."

"Using these as a foundation, additional Potion Ingredients need to be added depending on the type of magical wood and Wand Core, in order to maintain a balance without suppressing the magical properties..."

"Mr. Ollivander Wizet, if Unicorn tail hair is used as the Wand Core, can Vervain be added? Its properties are purification, protection, and healing."

"That's right!" Ollivander smiled and nodded with great satisfaction. "Heather, Sage, Rowan, and so on are all usable Potion Ingredients."

"Harmony is the eternal pursuit in wand making, which is also what makes the Magic Eye special. You can directly observe the wand to better bring it closer to harmony."

"The wand I plan to make this time will use Willow wood and Unicorn tail hair. Let's use it as an example and try to make the wand before school starts!"

Ollivander originally thought that Wizet was simply using his spare time to learn how to identify and process various herbs from Snape, the Potions Master.

When he guided Wizet in brewing Active Potion, he discovered that Wizet could also bring him many surprises in the field of Potions brewing.

Brewing Potions is no easy task; it requires not only enduring tedium but also maintaining sufficient mental focus.

Especially when preparing Active Potion, one must be extremely careful during the preparation process to ensure the activity as much as possible.

Ollivander had actually made preparations, preparing more than ten sets of materials to deal with possible losses.

According to his expected goal, if Wizet could successfully brew a potion of Active Potion using ten ingredients, that would already be considered exceptionally gifted.

When Wizet picked up her tools and began processing the Potion Ingredients, Ollivander sensed that things weren't so simple.

Wizet's movements were very skilled, the process was very quiet, and her tools rarely came into contact with the cutting board.

This shows that he used a very measured amount of force when handling Potion Ingredients Potion Ingredients, preventing excessive waste.

Watching Wizet process Potion Ingredients is a relaxing experience.

He cut the ingredients into appropriate and uniform sizes, then categorized them and placed them into different containers. The entire table remained neat and orderly, and his movements were pleasing to the eye.

Ollivander glanced at the time; it took Wizet less than ten minutes to process a document.

"Mr. Ollivander, the remaining materials..."

"You can continue processing it! It's all needed."

"Okay!" Wizet maintained her efficient movements and continued processing the remaining materials.

Ollivander watched from the side, even more surprised.

Despite performing repetitive actions over long periods, Wizet was able to maintain consistent technique, ensuring that the loss of each batch of material was roughly the same.

With all the materials processed, Wizet waved her wand to wipe the sweat from her body and subconsciously asked, "Snee... Mr. Ollivander, is there anything that can be improved?"

It was as if he had returned to Hogwarts and was receiving private lessons from Snape.

After he finished processing the materials, he would usually ask Snape one more question to see if there was anything that needed improvement, any techniques that could be refined, or any steps that went wrong...

"I... feel great, both the wear and tear and the handling of the situation... are all great!" Ollivander murmured.

"Wizet, you seemed to have mentioned Snape earlier... Back at Hogwarts, after you finished processing the Potion Ingredients, would Snape still offer suggestions for improvement?"

"At first, Professor Snape would actively correct mistakes," Wizet nodded. "Later, he spoke less."

"So after I finish processing the materials, I always subconsciously ask one more question, and then continue to make improvements under Professor Snape's guidance."

Ollivander was somewhat surprised. "Is this the method he used to teach you?"

Wizet nodded and said, "Yes."

"A hawthorn wand... it is a bit awkward..." Ollivander murmured, "No wonder... after all, he's so talented..."
