A Method of Transferring Risk

"Finally, it's finished..."

Looking at the super Broomstick before him, whose design was quite plain and unadorned, Manus's lips curved into a smile.

An intact dragon heart sinew was different from one that had been trimmed and cut. When used as a wand core, it did not amplify the flow of magic evenly enough. To make matters worse, dragon heart sinew was the most violent type of wand core.

Balance and stability had never been the strengths of dragon heart sinew. Its powerful amplification of magic was. That made the amplification effect of this dragon heart sinew even more uneven, with its strength fluctuating wildly.

Manus had gone through quite a bit of adjustment before finally stabilizing the Broomstick completely as a wand.

Otherwise, given Hagrid's casual, devil-may-care way of doing things, using this Broomstick as a wand might well have posed some safety risks.

For now, the Broomstick prioritized durability and stability. It did not pursue flight speed or magical output.

Manus reached out and grabbed it from the alchemy table. His hand could barely cover more than half the circumference of the broom handle, and its height exceeded his own by more than a head. It formed a stark contrast with Manus's build.

Back in the Material World, Manus gripped the broom handle and waved it twice:

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

The floating desk and the steady flow of magic demonstrated the Broomstick's effectiveness as a wand.

"Not bad. Next comes naming it."

At that, Manus sighed again.

It was not just this Broomstick. There was also Bellows's.

He had no idea what that boy was thinking. He insisted that Raven's Feather and Ravenclaw were such a brilliant pun, and therefore trusted Manus's naming ability so completely that he had insisted Manus name his Broomstick too.
