The Serpent Staff is the scepter of the Greece god of commerce.
To distinguish it from the Rod of Asclepius, with two serpents entwined, is thus named the Staff of the Serpent Staff.
It belongs to Hermes, the messenger of the gods, and is regarded as a symbol of commerce and international trade.
According to the Emerald Tablet Records, the Serpent Staff not only possesses the terrifying hypnotic power of the mythical Argos, the hundred-eyed Giant, but also has incredibly powerful healing abilities and can even cast two spells simultaneously.
However, unlike traditional wands, making one requires not only knowledge of traditional wand making but also a high level of Alchemy skills.
Vincent had studied Wandlore, but he had no experience in making wands.
However, the Serpent Staff does not belong to the traditional category of wands; it can be classified as a special alchemical creation.
"The first step is to adjust the magical aura of the Snakewood and the Basilisk horn to the same frequency."
The second step is to carve the complete Ancient Runes on both surfaces according to the diagram.
The third step is to mobilize one's own magical power to merge the two.
The fourth step is to divide the semi-finished product into two sections, shape them into the appearance of a snake, and then let them intertwine.
The fifth step is to conceal the Ancient Runes on the surface inside.
The sixth step is to once again mobilize magical power to have the Serpent Staff record the holder's magical characteristics.
Step 7: Set restrictions to prevent others from using it.
(Note: Adding a suitable amount of Mithril will give the Serpent Staff a different appearance.)
There are seven steps in total, but the fifth step is actually considered the completion step.
However, restrictions still need to be set up. In addition to strengthening the connection between the Serpent Staff and its wielder, they can also prevent others from stealing it and using it against oneself.
If the eldest son of the Peverell family had placed a restriction on the Elder Wand, would he still have died from the wand he himself made?
Vincent flipped through the manuscript repeatedly, and started the Time-Turner just before dawn.
Choosing a relatively secluded and safe spot, he opened his briefcase and took out a half-meter-long Basilisk horn and a branch of Snakewood.
Jormungandr is nearly a thousand years old, and the giant Snakewood at the entrance of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry grew from the Slytherin Serpent Staff buried underground.
Both have a history of nearly a thousand years, so their magical aura should be very similar.
Vincent broke off a thinner branch of the Snakewood, bringing it closer to the scent emanating from the Basilisk horn.
When the time is right, raise the Alder Wand to unify the frequencies of the two.
The first step was completed smoothly without much effort.
Depicting Ancient Runes was somewhat tedious, but it was still completed smoothly.
When it came to the integration stage, Vincent began to hesitate.
Nicolas Flamel's manuscript describes fusing the two items using magical power, but the size of these two items is simply too large, and it's uncertain whether they can withstand the entire process.
"Come on then, it's not like we haven't been bombed before..."
Vincent nodded, recalling Jormungandr's other horn and Kenny, who was far away in Ilvermorny, United States.
There's always a second chance; we can always make it again in a few years.
Donning the Mithril Robe, he used his Alder Wand to lift the Basilisk horn and the Snakewood with his magic.
When the two touched, a violent magical fluctuation immediately erupted.
He recalled the first time he used magic.
This is not a failure, but rather a conflict between the two.
Continue to mobilize your magic power to compress them together.
Despite the repeated bursts of intense magical energy, Vincent's gaze grew increasingly resolute.
Half an hour later, a small portion of the Basilisk horn and the Snakewood had fused together at the point where they met.
But this is just the beginning; such a large size will inevitably consume countless magical powers.
There were quite a few Master-level Potions brewed by Snape in the suitcase; he would drink a bottle when he was about to collapse.
Two hours later, the ground was covered with empty bottles.
Despite being covered in sweat, Vincent did not give up; the fusion of the Basilisk horn and the Snakewood was just one step away.
Just as he was about to exhaust his strength, the two finally merged.
I'm exhausted, not just tired, but really exhausted.
I haven't felt this way in a long time, as if my body has been hollowed out. All I can do is pack my things, start the Time-Turner, and get some rest.
After a good night's sleep, I'll be back to where I was five hours ago. Then I'll go back and cook something to rest properly.
It took almost 12 hours for my physical and mental strength to fully recover.
Vincent stared at the half-finished wooden stick, as thick as his arm and covered in Ancient Runes, and began to ponder what kind of shape it should be sculpted into.
"I am the servant of the Secret Fire... I wield the Flame of Arnor..."
A spell inexplicably echoed in my mind.
A staff like Gandalf's?
Start with a Flash Spell, then swing your staff and punch someone?
Vincent quickly shook his head, banishing the idea from his mind.
That's too simplistic and crude; it would be better to stick with his original Alder Wand.
Hey... can't you add a little Mithril to get a different appearance?
But just how much Mithril could this thick wooden club, as thick as an arm, possibly use?
He looked down at his Mithril Robe, then took out his Gunblade and held it in his palm.
Her eyes were full of reluctance; she hoped she would never need them.
The suitcase contained a total of 50 ounces of Mithril, or 3.125 pounds.
The Serpent Staff used to cover the semi-finished product was definitely not enough; the only option was to minimize the surface area.
The long, arm-thick Snakewood was gradually compressed by magic, and when its width was close to 1 inch, its length had almost reached two meters.
It gradually tapers in the middle, and the ends on both sides slowly form a snake's head shape.
Lifelike snake scales appear one by one, and the entire Snakewood is divided into two sections in the middle.
Two long snakes, their tongues flicking, danced in front of him, as if they were alive.
"Hmm..." Vincent's magic did not compel them to do so; perhaps the powerful healing ability of the Serpent Staff originated from this.
The Alder Wand pointed at the container holding Mithril.
The liquid Mithril floated up under the constraint of magic, slowly approaching the two long snakes.
The moment the two made contact, a powerful life force spread outwards.
The grass on the ground kept growing, and the branches of the surrounding giant trees sprouted green leaves in patches.
This bizarre sight did not last long; once the Mithril had completely enveloped the two long snakes, they stopped growing.
Strangely, Vincent was not affected.
Looking down at the Time-Turner on his chest, he guessed that the constraints of time magic excluded him.
With his experience in alchemical products, shaping the appearance was a piece of cake for him.
Two long snakes, gleaming with a silvery metallic sheen, intertwined, their heads opening their jaws to reveal sharp fangs, ultimately forming a one-meter-long staff.
The staff's tail is a tightly fitting snake's tail, the staff's body consists of two intertwined snake bodies, and the top of the staff has two open snake heads.
I measured the exact length, and it's exactly 36.9 inches.
Vincent's Serpent Staff was destined not to be used like an ordinary wand, but had to be held from the middle like a staff.
The silver metallic luster slowly faded, a sign that the Snakewood had begun to absorb Mithril.
The other form needs to be completed as soon as possible.
