Wind

A deserted island that even birds don't want to come to.

Lucien strolled along the beach, the sea breeze carrying a salty, damp scent.

He had just finished an alchemical exercise, and traces of magical energy still lingered on his body.

Facing the sun, he raised his right hand and pinched a crystal-clear ruby.

Sunlight filtered through the gemstone, casting a soft red glow on Lucien's cheeks.

A hint of joy appeared in Lucien's eyes.

It's done, a simplified version of the Sorcerer's Stone.

A complete Sorcerer's Stone can turn lead into gold and can be used to concoct Elixir of Life; it is the pinnacle of Alchemy.

This simplified version doesn't reach that level, but it's more than enough as a pure magic battery.

It can stably store and release massive amounts of pure magic power, providing energy for the operation of alchemical tools.

With it, the crafting of some alchemical tools that were previously impossible due to insufficient energy can now be put on the agenda.

Lucien had thought that he would have to go through several failures to gain experience in crafting the simplified version of the Sorcerer's Stone.

The result was quite smooth; everything went naturally, and it was a success on the first try.

During the refining process, the four elemental runes played a role beyond his expectations—the harmony of the four basic elements of water, fire, earth, and wind is the foundation of Alchemy.

He meticulously controlled the balance of every element and the flow of every power, guided by their respective magical runes.

The completion of the wind element magic runes finally completes the four-element puzzle.

The enhancement of Alchemy is an indirect effect of the elemental runes.

As for the most direct manifestation of master-level elemental runes--

Lucien drew his wand and cast a simple Breeze spell.

This is a very basic spell; its effect is to create a gentle breeze, which is roughly the same as the wind force of a fan, but probably not even as strong as a high-powered electric fan.

He waved his wand, and at the same time, the swirling pattern on the tip of his ring finger shimmered with a lively blue light.

In an instant, even the breeze emanating from the tip of the staff was tinged with a pale blue hue.

The nearby wind elements seemed to have received a call, and they all came to respond.

In the time it takes to breathe, a gentle breeze has condensed into a menacing whirlwind.

The air currents continued to grow stronger, causing sand and stones to fly everywhere on the deserted island, and even the surrounding sea was whipped up into large waves, which were pushed into the distance layer by layer.

But those strong air currents would automatically bypass Lucien when they encountered him, forming a quiet, windless circle that protected him at the very center.

After achieving the Master level in Magic Runes, the scale of elements that can be mobilized also enters a whole new level.

Once a critical point is reached, even if Lucien cuts off the magic supply and stops manipulating the wind elements, they will not dissipate—instead, they will continue and automatically absorb the surrounding free elements to strengthen themselves.

Simply put, if Lucien doesn't take action, this whirlwind could grow into a hurricane-level disaster.

With the blessing of master-level elemental runes, elemental magic will truly be able to alter the heavens!

From advanced to master level, there is only one level difference, but it truly represents a qualitative leap.

"Bite"

A notification sound rang out, Lucien took out his Instant Whisper, seeing that it was a message from Dumbledore.

"Found it, the Gaunt Ancestral Home."

Lucien raised an eyebrow. The Gaunt Ancestral Home was the ancestral home of Voldemort's mother and the origin of his bloodline.

Dumbledore has been following this lead and it seems he has made a discovery.

Lucien was actually quite looking forward to working with Dumbledore —anyone could try the easy win experience of having the greatest wizard of the century as a companion.

As Lucien flipped through the Instant Whisper, he remembered something else: the simplified version of the Sorcerer's Stone was finished, and he needed to tell his teacher.

He took a picture of the ruby, attached a report, and sent it to Nicolas Flamel.

After sending the message, he put the Instant Whisper back in his pocket.

"Slap"

Lucien snapped his fingers lightly.

The whirlwind suddenly disintegrated, turning into countless streams of air that flew in all directions.

The sand and stones fell back to the ground, and the sea gradually calmed down.

At the same time, Lucien disappeared, leaving only a stretch of sandy beach rippled by the wind.

After being ravaged by the strong winds, no birds will be willing to visit this deserted island for the time being.
