Although the current technology was not mature and there were many problems waiting to be solved, it was conceivable that once these new magic weapons were put into use, it would fundamentally change the way wizards fought. It was of great significance.
The traditional way wizards fought was to wave their wands and use magic to attack their opponents.
Most of the duels or battles between Wizards involved shooting spells at each other and dodging each other's spells. Wizards at the level of Dumbledore and Lord Voldemort had more ways to fight. The spells they used were more gorgeous, varied, and powerful, but the essence was still the same.
A wizard's wand, which was their weapon, did not cause any damage.
On the contrary, the wand was a wizard's weakness.
Not only could the wand not be used directly for attack, but it was also easily damaged and needed to be carefully protected.
The result of using a broken wand to cast a spell was obvious.
Gidro Lockhart's fate left a deep impression on Elwyn. This unlucky guy used Ron's broken wand to cast a Forgotten Curse and was hit by the spell. He was still receiving treatment in St. Mungo's Magic Hospital.
Even if he was not so unlucky, the mutation of magic was not a joke.
When the wand became a knife, sword, dagger, bow and other weapons, the situation would change completely.
These weapons did not need to be carefully protected and could be used directly to attack.
The attack was also very strong, and the physical damage and attack power were not weaker than most magic spells.
For example, take Sirius as an example. Everyone was already very familiar with his combat style: While using magic, he would supplement it with close-quarters combat.
If Sirius's wand was replaced with a heavy sword, one could imagine the scene.
As soon as the enemy dodged Sirius' Stun Curse, he saw Sirius charging at him aggressively with a big sword in his hand …
What should they do now? Resist or beg for mercy?
There was no time to use magic, and it was impossible for them to be Sirius's opponent with a heavy sword.
The combination of magic and swordsmanship would at least double the combat power and damage of a wizard like Sirius.
Although magic was fundamental, there were only a few wizards who were truly powerful and mastered powerful spells. Many powerful spells either required complicated casting conditions, or the casting speed was too slow and unsuitable for combat, or the difficulty was too high for normal wizards to master.
The Curse of Slaughter, perfected by Lord Voldemort, could become the trump card of the Death Eaters because it was powerful enough in a relatively simple battle style. Moreover, it was easy to master. As long as one was evil enough and possessed evil thoughts, they could control this spell. It was the standard of a Dark Wizard.
However, not every wizard was a Death Eater. They would not and would not bother to use the Killing Curse.
Under such circumstances, the weapons in their hands were especially important.
Therefore, Elwyn agreed with what the alchemy team had said when they introduced the results of their research. The birth of this kind of magical weapon would bring earth-shattering changes to the battles of wizards. It was of epoch-making significance.
Of course, this was only the conceptual stage.
There were still many difficulties that needed to be overcome in order for wizards to use Muggle weapons to cast magic.
The current idea of the alchemy team from the United States was to make weapons like magic wands. These weapons were actually magic wands that had changed shape. In order to solve the problem of magic conduction and other problems, they not only used a strong magic core, but also engraved many magic runes on the weapons, inlaid magic gems, and so on.
This way, the production cost was very high.
He had spent more than 3,000 gold coins just to display the dagger, but the effect was not bad. However, if the dagger was replaced with a slightly larger weapon like a sword, the cost would increase further. It was far from a matter of a few thousand gold coins. It would cost at least tens of thousands, and the casting effect would not be as good as a magic wand.
With such a high manufacturing cost and an unsatisfactory use effect, anyone would hesitate to make such a decision.
After listening to them, many Wizards felt that it was not worth it to spend more than 3,000 gold coins to create such a thing.
The so-called magical weapon was just a joke. Even within the United States Congress of Magic, many people opposed it.
This was the main reason why this alchemy team came to Cairo to show their research results.
It was reasonable to say that the highly sensitive alchemy research of magical weapons should be kept strictly confidential. However, their position was very awkward, and they urgently needed to use this opportunity to prove the value of their research. Moreover, the research had reached a bottleneck, and it was difficult to go further. They hoped to get help from other wizards …
Elwyn felt that their idea was good, important, and had a high possibility of being realized.
He had an in-depth discussion with that team, and the other side told him that they believed that if they wanted to make a magic weapon release magic like a wand, they needed a material that could transmit mana like a wand while maintaining the power of the weapon. Existing metals weren't possible, so they had to use alchemy to create a new metal.
This was also the main reason why other wizards thought they were joking. Creating a new kind of magic metal was easier said than done. If they could do it, the research itself could become an alchemy result that would cause a sensation in the magic world, just like when Dumbledore and Nico Lemour jointly released the 12 uses of dragon blood.
Although it was difficult, these Americans did not intend to give up.
They planned to recruit a few alchemists who were good at material conversion to join their team. This field of alchemy was the strong point of the European magic world.
As for material conversion, Elwyn had no idea how to create a new magic metal.
There were many records about this in the research notes given to him by Nico Lemour, but Elwyn did not have time to study them.
In the past two years, he had mainly been studying magic runes and ancient magic.
These were the basics of alchemy, the foundation of everything.
At the same time, they were the key to using the Silence spell he found in the lost ruins.
This was the only spell that Elwyn knew that could harm evil gods, so he had to pay attention to it.
After mastering the contents of magic runes and ancient magic in Nico Lemour's research notes, Elwyn's knowledge in this area had already exceeded that of ordinary wizards. Not to mention, he had also solved the mystery of the Emerald Jade Record last year. In terms of ancient magic and magic runes, he was currently one of the strongest people in the world.
Therefore, although he could not convert new magic metals, Elwyn had a lot of suggestions about the magic runes engraved on the magic weapons.
According to his design, the effect of the magic dagger could be improved by at least 30%.
If he studied it again, Elwyn was confident that he could design a more suitable rune arrangement.
