Like magic wands, magic wands were also tools used to cast spells.
They were passed down in some ancient schools of magic and could be found all over the world. They had a long history.
Unlike magic wands and wizards, most of these ancient schools of magic were on the decline. There were very few people left, and they had become history. Thus, spellcasters who used magic wands were rare.
However, considering that Cairo was about to host the International Alchemy Conference, it was not surprising that Elwyn saw magic wands here.
After all, magic wands and magic wands were originally made by alchemists.
In other words, magic wands were actually a branch of alchemy.
It was only with the rise of wizards and the maturity of theories that magic wands split off and became a new branch of magic.
As for magic wands, their production methods were still passed down in the ancient schools of alchemy.
As a casting tool, magic wands and magic wands were mainly used to reduce the spellcaster's own spellcasting pressure and improve the effects of magic.
Without these tools, spellcasters could not use magic.
Casting tools were an important auxiliary method. Not just magic wands and magic wands, there were other similar tools all over the world.
For example, wizards in the African continent could use totems or voodoo dolls to cast spells. Ancient spellcasters in North America could use stones to cast spells. There were also wizards who were proficient in demonic magic. They could create demonic altars or carve the names of demons on their bodies to cast spells.
In the East, spellcasters would also use talismans, turtle shells, jade, or some special weapons to cast spells, such as swords. These casting tools and special casting methods were still passed down in Eastern magic schools.
There were many types of casting tools, and each had its own advantages. It was not to say that one was better than the other.
However, until now, magic wands had become the most popular casting tool in the world.
In many countries and regions, spellcasters had given up their original casting methods and turned to magic wands.
This was related to historical factors, the rise and expansion of European countries, and the number of wizards. However, there were also obvious benefits to using magic wands.
For example, the production process was relatively simple, the cost was low, and it could help wizards cast spells quickly.
However, in other aspects, magic wands might not be as good as other casting tools!
Take a staff for example. It may not be as fast as a wand in terms of casting speed and production cost, but it can be used to cast large-scale spells that require a long time to cast.
This was because the source of magic power for a magic staff was not limited to the body materials of magical creatures with magic power. It could also use minerals with stronger magic power or other powerful magic items. In addition, alchemists would engrave magic runes on the magic staff to enhance the magic attribute, and even have other amplification effects.
There was no doubt that a well-made staff would have a stronger effect on the caster's magic power and spells than a wand.
When casting large-scale spells, a staff was the best casting tool.
However, the cost and price of such a magic staff far exceeded that of a magic wand. It was simply a luxury that most wizards could not afford.
In a duel, it was less helpful to a wizard than a wand. Although it made the spells cast more powerful, the casting speed was much slower than using a wand. The opponent could cast three to five spells, but you could only finish one, no matter how powerful it was.
Moreover, magic wands were not easy to carry, and it was even more of a hindrance during a battle.
Imagine Sirius fighting with a magic staff, that scene …
Considering the actual magic level of most wizards in the magic world, they were used to casting spells quickly and using magic wands to complete some daily tasks. Many people could not even cast a simple defensive spell. Even if they were given a magic staff, these wizards would not be able to use it. There was no foundation for it to be popularized.
Therefore, as time passed, magic wands gradually withdrew from the stage of history and became a rare casting tool.
It was the same for other casting tools. Compared to magic wands, they had all kinds of inconveniences and gradually became extinct.
Magic wands and wizard spells had become a standard for today's spellcasters.
Elwyn knew this very well. Before he came, he had put in a lot of effort to understand the International Alchemy Convention.
In the previous International Alchemy Conventions, the innovation of casting tools had always been the focus of alchemists.
Some Alchemists wanted to promote the revival of ancient casting tools such as magic wands. Some Alchemists wanted to improve wands, and many others wanted to create new casting tools.
Every International Alchemy Convention, there would be new results. This was the most noteworthy part.
Compared to ancient spellcasters, the overall level of magic was getting weaker. This had become the consensus of the world. Alchemists hoped to change this situation by innovating casting tools.
In addition, another focus of the International Alchemy Convention was potions.
As the organizer of the convention, the Gobalot Alchemy Prize Committee would also choose the major breakthroughs in the field of potions in recent years and give out rewards.
Based on previous years, these two aspects should be the most noteworthy parts of this convention.
In addition, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic would also invite the participating alchemists to the Sun Ruins to solve the problems there and search for the treasures hidden in the depths of the ruins. This had not happened in previous years, and it was also the main reason why Ivan was here.
Alchemy originated from ancient Egypt. At the same time, as the greatest pharaoh of ancient Egypt, the ruins left behind by Ramses II was an alchemy treasure trove. In addition to a large number of curses, many traps were related to alchemy.
It was precisely because of these alchemy traps that the progress of the excavation was very slow. The rumor that there might be a complete Sun Golden Scripture in the depths of the ruins made the Egyptian Ministry of Magic and Gringotts unable to give up.
It was no wonder that the fairy Zuo Sai, who was responsible for the excavation, hoped to get Elwyn's help.
This time, the Egyptian Ministry of Magic invited alchemists from all over the world to solve the traps in the ruins.
In addition to the hall of time distortion, Elwyn was very interested in the Sun Golden Scripture.
However, he did not plan to go too deep into the ruins. The situation was different from last year.
Over the past year, there had been more and more news about this relic. Many wizards had died in it. As the most powerful ancient warlock in history, no one could be sure what kind of dangerous magic Ramesses II had left in this relic.
If he entered rashly, it would only be a dead end!
Elwyn did not plan to die, and there were many troublesome things that he needed to deal with.
