Alchemy is more shocking and interesting than Sean imagined.
The professor said he would give him an afternoon, but he was so strict that even class time was involved.
She led Sean into the classroom. The people here had no time to pay attention to the extra little wizards, because they were too overwhelmed just to do their homework.
Sean Only then did he have time to look at this place. It was a classroom full of various instruments, and there were not many people in it.
Most of them are Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff, and occasionally there are one or two Gryffindor and Slytherin.
While the professor was teaching, Sean watched them start from processing the materials and end with engraving Ancient Runes and injecting magic power.
During the whole class, only a few people made Howler.
The professor's expression is no better than those who sent Howler.
"Before learning, seeing the complete process of alchemy is like setting the course for a sailboat."
The professor ignored the senior wizard who left, turned to his hands behind his back, and spoke earnestly.
Compared with those senior wizards who are ignorant and have limited abilities - Professor Terra has stricter requirements for Sean:
"Alchemy, as a noble and ancient skill, has always kept its pursuit of endless wealth and perfect souls secret.
In those wizards who are truly gifted, these secrets will eventually be revealed. "
Professor Terra is holding a notebook with nothing on it.
"You have one week to record Howler's material selection. Remember, Mr. Green, slow is fast."
Following the professor's mission came several books that had obviously been carefully selected, and some of their contents were even covered by Confundus Charm, leaving only the most accurate parts.
It seems that Professor Terra is also well aware of Lord of the Cauldron's dream-talking records.
"It's not that Lord of the Cauldron has to make the content obscure, remember this. Just like you remember the three stages of alchemy: the selection and melting of materials, the transformation and sublimation of metals, and the engraving and transformation of Ancient Runes."
The professor seemed to have read through his thoughts and said with a smile.
"In the history of Magical World, Lord of the Cauldron have tried to turn base metals into Winky luminous gold. For them, the world has life and spiritual power.
These forces can be harnessed with the right knowledge and the right tools. With the help of this noble and ancient skill, metal can live, die and come back to life. "
So Sean quietly left the classroom while thinking.
He roughly understood the three stages of alchemy in practice - selection, transformation, and sublimation brought about by the engraving of magic runes.
The professor's task is in the "blackening" stage, which is to select materials and remove impurities.
The professor did not allow him to look up the materials used by Howler, but just told him:
"Before you choose, think more, Mr. Green, think more."
So Sean focused all his attention on the books provided by the professor.
There are dozens of materials introduced above, and there is no mention of the four elements, the seven planets, Philosopher's Stone or anything like that. It simply introduces the possible materials directly, but it is enough for Sean to explore.
Alchemy is indeed vast, especially after the professor asked him not to be superficial and to intuitively feel the meaning of alchemy to a wizard.
For several days, when Hope Cottage's little wizards saw Sean, he was studying the differences between various materials.
He read the professor's book over and over again, and soon he got the answer.
It's another Monday.
The cold wind was blowing loudly, and Professor Terra sat on the chair and stared at Sean, asking him slightly curiously.
"In five days, Mr. Green, have you gained any insights?"
"It is mentioned in "The Development of Alchemy" that wizards have been studying alchemy for almost as long as Muggle, so why was it that only wizards made Philosopher's Stone?"
Sean seems to be talking to himself or announcing,
"Because Alchemy is the same as brewing Potions, and enjoys a Primal Thread. This Primal Thread is destined to belong only to magic.
Correct knowledge and appropriate tools are just the key points for wizards to perform ritual magic. The ultimate test of this ritual is still the spiritual strength of the wizard - the metaphors of history, knowledge, and materials all strengthen the spiritual will of the wizard.
As mentioned in "Fifth Element: Exploration", the success of Alchemy is the success of the wizard's magic.
It is the wizard who believes that the alchemical creation will produce effects, not the alchemical creation that moves on its own. "
Sean's eyes Winky are shining. If these ideas are correct, then he can open up the same path as he cooked Potions.
Professor Terra's face changed slightly and he quickly stood up:
"Kid, three days a week, I want to see you at Alchemy office."
It only took five days for Sean to understand why the professor only found it interesting when he mentioned Muggle science.
Because Alchemy already has its own mysterious special effects, and if this mysterious characteristic is destroyed, it will be difficult for Alchemy to succeed.
Think about it, if a wizard believes that the world has gravity and is convinced that feathers cannot fly, then can feathers still fly?
The professor's task does not seem to be over, but it seems to be over.
Because she taught Sean a very magical spell, which made his search for materials very simple——
Scarpin's Revelaspell (Scarpin's Revela Spell).
It is a charm used to correctly identify the ingredients of a given Potions, invented by Scarpin. Of course, it can also be used in alchemy.
Professor Slughorn introduced this spell to Potions class in sixth grade, although Hermione was the only student who really understood it.
"Some small tools, Mr. Green, necessary tools."
Professor Terra looked at Sean with uncontrollable admiration. She naturally thought that Sean would be able to master this spell soon.
The reality made her frown.
Her student, a student who was born to fit Alchemy, was actually stumped by this little curse.
"Same time tomorrow, Mr. Green, I have an afternoon left for you."
After the professor finished speaking, he entered the office with confusion.
Sean was left in a daze.
Tomorrow afternoon... he is going to Dungeon to cook Potions...
Draught of Living Death only needs the last ten points of proficiency to reach entry level. He can also unlock the new Potions Talent and officially open the door to Alchemy.
And now the two doors collided together. As long as he dared to open only one, he couldn't imagine what would come out of the other.
Just as Sean was passing by the corridor in a daze, Michael and Terry, who had messy curly hair, happened to pass by.
"Oh - Sean, I knew you were here, so I just returned the Charms note to you - huh? Scarpin's Revelaspell? You don't want to count the windows too?!"
Michael suddenly exclaimed.
"Windows are important!"
Terry retorted with a red face.
