A Potion That Bestowed Soul Traits
Snape's method of correcting details in his teaching surpassed the teaching standards of Hogwarts.
If this were in the Middle Ages, it would be considered as giving away all one's knowledge.
Although the teaching is rigorous, it offers the opportunity to access the deepest secrets of magic.
Thinking of this, Ollivander shook his head and smiled, "Aren't I doing the same thing right now?"
Wizet tentatively asked, "Mr. Ollivander, shall I continue? Begin brewing the Active Potion? All the materials have been processed."
Ollivander had originally intended for Wizet to rest for a while, but seeing his eager expression, he also felt a bit of anticipation, wanting to see just how far Wizet could go.
If the first attempt at brewing the Potions fails, it's perfectly reasonable to let Wizet rest and then talk to him about the importance of balancing work and rest.
If you succeed in brewing the Potions on your first try...
Ollivander shook his head slightly, seemingly taking things too lightly.
Even with Snape's rigorous training, success on the first try wouldn't be easy...
With that in mind, Ollivander made up his mind to leave only one set of materials on the table, while setting the rest aside and using Magical Energy Field to preserve them.
After finishing all this, he looked at Wizet and said, "Wizet, if I explain the specific steps while you brew the Potions, wouldn't that be too difficult?"
Wizet asked again, "Mr. Ollivander, are you telling me to do as you say?"
"Is it a bit too difficult?" Ollivander coughed lightly, trying to keep his tone relaxed. "If you think it's too hard, I can demonstrate it first, and then you can try it."
"No." Wizet shook his head. "Professor Snape tried this method before, and I think I should be able to keep up."
"So Snape tried it too..." Ollivander nodded. "Then let's begin! First, add three pints of dew and bring it to a boil, then..."
Ollivander gave instructions carefully, afraid that Wizet wouldn't be able to keep up with his speaking speed.
He prepared more than ten sets of materials for Wizet to practice with, which was his mental expectation for himself.
Wizet was unaware of Ollivander's thoughts; his mind was entirely focused on the boiling crucible.
Not only did he use the Magic Eye, but he also devoted himself to it with great focus.
Adding various materials according to Ollivander's instructions and then making corresponding adjustments based on the reaction of the materials in the crucible, the whole process is not too difficult.
At least for Wizet, brewing this pot of Active Potion was not difficult.
The Active Potion should be of a very high grade, at least on par with the Soul Soothing Potion.
After the dew boiled, he added mistletoe fruit to the cauldron, and the magical properties contained within it were slowly released, turning the dew into a milky white color.
After skimming off the impurities from the edge of the crucible, he picked up the oak sap and poured it into the crucible.
The milky-white Potions emitted bursts of hot steam, and the liquid level rose rapidly, seemingly about to overflow the crucible.
Ollivander had warned him earlier, so Wizet calmly switched to a small flame while waving his wand to soothe the agitated Potions with magic.
As specks of golden light appeared on the surface of the crucible, Wizet methodically picked up the Potion Ingredients and added them to it one by one.
The changes in the crucible became interesting, as if he had put in the ingredients that make up a rainbow, changing sequentially between red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet...
Two hours later, the brewing of the Active Potion was nearing completion, and a rainbow did indeed rise from the boiling Potions.
"You've got the timing perfect!" Ollivander exclaimed. "You've kept up with every single step..."
"Next, add the Clover Essence, wave your wand above the cauldron, turn it three times clockwise, then three times counterclockwise..."
"Very good! Next, move the crucible away from the flames and draw a triangle using the edge of the crucible as a boundary..."
As Wizet completed the final step, the viscous Potions, which had been like a rainbow, gradually became clear.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a clear, transparent Potions, without a single impurity in it.
The liquid appears colorless and odorless, yet one can sense the vibrant life force it contains.
He hadn't stopped for several hours, and he felt no fatigue, only intense joy.
Whether it's magic or Potions, they always bring him this unique and wonderful experience.
"Success on the first try!" Ollivander seemed even happier than him, his voice filled with excitement. "Unbelievable!"
He took out a crystal glass, poured the Active Potion into it, and picked up the Potions like a sommelier appreciating fine wine.
Looking at the clear Potions before him, he couldn't help but exclaim, "So beautiful! The quality is even better than I imagined!"
"Wizet, if you are interested, you can make any Active Potion I need in the future."
Upon hearing this suggestion, Wizet said somewhat helplessly, "Mr. Ollivander, I don't have Potions's certificate, so I'm afraid I can't help you with this."
"Potions Certificate? Oh... I almost forgot about that!" Ollivander realized, "And an OWL Potions Certificate too..."
The sale of Potions is strictly controlled in the magical world.
Unless you're conducting illegal transactions in Knockturn Alley, you need at least a Beginner Potioneer certificate to legally sell Potions.
According to the original procedure, if Wizet wanted to obtain the relevant certification, he would at least need to obtain an OWL Potions certificate before he could apply.
Wizet didn't dwell on the question, but instead pondered the cooking process he had just gone through.
As the Active Potion neared completion, he used the Magic Eye to observe and confirm his idea—there were certain similarities between the Active Potion and the Soul Soothing Potion.
He followed his intuition and began to ponder, seeking possible connections, and eventually came to a conjecture...
"Mr. Ollivander, it can not only bring magic wood to life, but also give wands a soul-like quality... Am I right in my guess?"
"To give wands more soul?" Ollivander nearly dropped his crystal glass. "Why would you have such an idea?"
Wizet explained simply, "I've brewed Soul Soothing Potion before, and through my Magic Eye, I discovered a certain similarity between the two."
"So I started thinking about a question: the connection between wands and wizards might be due to this similarity— Active Potion can give wands a soul-like quality."
"Merlin's beard! I suddenly feel a sense of defeat... I'm afraid I won't be able to surprise you." Ollivander sighed.
"I originally wanted to wait until you made a real magic wand before revealing it to you... but I didn't expect you to figure it out yourself through the Magic Eye."
Wizet laughed and said, "Mr. Ollivander, the process of making the wand itself has already given me a great surprise."
He gave a brief explanation, then pondered the issue of the Active Potion, "Mr. Ollivander, what happens if we increase the proportion of different properties in the Active Potion?"
