A tremor ran beneath Vizette's feet, and even with his eyes closed, he could still feel a white blur through his eyelids.
He didn't open his eyes until the tremors stopped.
A hemispherical crater appeared before them, its interior now scorched earth, billowing black smoke.
He stared thoughtfully at the deep pit. "Is this the 'Tonitrus' that consumes two ancient magical powers?"
This effect could be achieved by consuming a small amount of the second type of ancient magic power. What would happen if all the stored ancient magic power were used?
Just then, a burning sensation spread from the tip of the wand to his fingertips...
He looked up and saw cracks appearing from the tip of the wand downwards, the cracks curling outwards like flower petals.
The curled area showed obvious charring marks, with wisps of black smoke faintly rising and emitting a unique burnt wood smell, which was not unpleasant.
The core contained within the wand resembled a flower stamen, and one end of the dragon heartstring had also split into several petals, charred black, and its overall red light had dimmed, like a flickering candle, seemingly about to go out at any moment.
Vizette observed with Magia Revelio and found that all the magic circuits on the wand were broken, especially at the tip, where there was not a trace of magic circuits.
Ollivander's notes described many different types of wand damage.
Like the wand in his hand, it was irreparably damaged and could only be replaced with a new one.
Although changing wands was not difficult for him, he still felt a little lost after this wand had been with him for a year.
Luna came to his side and said softly, "Shall we put it in the garden? Let it go back to where it came from."
After using Luna's wand to Reparo and fix the pit, the two returned to the garden.
Vizette brought over a flowerpot, and Luna picked up a small shovel and slowly filled it with soil, leaving only a small round hole.
"Thank you!" Vizette stroked his wand, bidding a final farewell.
Luna found several magical plants and planned to arrange them around the wand to create a potted landscape.
The two worked from afternoon until sunset before the bonsai began to take shape.
The potted plant was placed in a corner of the garden, receiving the gentle caress of the setting sun;
Several sap-producing plants swayed gently in the evening breeze, their leaves rippling with the magical sap contained within.
The moss on the flowerpot was orange-red, like a whole fruit cake, dotted with dark pebbles that looked like chocolate balls.
Luna also put a Christmas cactus in the pot. The Christmas cactus seemed to really like the wand in the middle and would always sway its vines around the wand.
An eight-legged horse appeared next to the potted plant, constantly sniffing the cracked wand, seemingly quite fond of it as well.
It raised its head and emitted a low rumble of thunder.
Luna explained with a smile, "Sleipnir said this tastes familiar, and she misses it."
-------------------------------------
The next day, Luna stayed at home, drawing illustrations related to the top of Yggdrasil for "The Quibbler".
This was also what made "The Quibbler" unique; all the illustrations in the magazine were hand-drawn, and there were no magical photos at all.
Vizette traveled to Diagon Alley via the Floo Network and headed straight for Ollivander's Wand Shop.
The pleasant welcoming bell rang, and Ollivander's eyes showed a hint of surprise when he saw Vizette appear before him.
Vizette greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Ollivander!"
Ollivander smiled slightly, "Good morning, Vizette..."
"Something bad seems to have happened…" He seemed to sense something, looking Vizette up and down. "Your wand seems to be… gone?"
As England's most renowned wand maker, Ollivander possessed a unique sensitivity to wands.
He glanced at the shop entrance and gently waved his wand at the door.
"Yes… Yesterday I tested a spell and it suddenly cracked, like this…" Vizette took out the painting Luna had drawn yesterday, depicting the potted plant containing the magic wand.
"A very good idea, I think it will rest in peace," Ollivander praised the bonsai painting.
"It appears in the shape of a flower... This is extremely rare. What did you see through your Seer's Eye?"
Vizette described it as follows: "All the magic circuits on the wand were broken, and the magic circuit at the top disappeared."
Ollivander blinked, a thoughtful look in his silvery-white eyes. "It seems that magic is incredibly powerful... and extremely mysterious."
"I want to see the power of that magic with my own eyes… Vizette, come in with me!" He murmured, leading Vizette out of the shop and into a deeper part of the store.
Inside was Ollivander's workshop, filled with the mixed scents of various types of wood, mingled with the aroma of magical plants.
Ollivander explained, "If you don't have the Seer's Eye, then you need to feel the wand with your heart, and make the wand with your heart... The light isn't that important."
He waved his wand, and the surroundings finally brightened, revealing the proper appearance of a workshop.
The studio and the shop had similar layouts, both being long and narrow rooms, but the studio was more spacious.
Every tool and material there was placed in an orderly manner.
The wall was lined with neat cabinets, filled with square drawers, all made of pure gold, which looked gleaming.
Vizette learned from Ollivander's notes that although various magical materials had different properties, they could all be preserved in pure gold.
Because pure gold was an extremely pure and stable substance, it could perfectly contain these magical materials without destroying their inherent properties.
Looking further into the studio, there were rows of pure gold shelves, on which were stacks of wood, which were also the source of the woody smell in the air.
The Ollivander family had a long history, and in their view, it was essential to replace the shelves and cabinets storing wand materials with pure gold in order to ensure the quality of wands.
In the center of the room was a huge workbench, its surface engraved with intricate graphic symbols. Just glancing at it was enough to soothe one's mind.
The tools on the workbench were neatly arranged, including soft dragon skin for smoothing and polishing the magic wand, several rolls of dragon skin, a pure gold crucible, and so on.
"Vizette, let's test the power of magic first!" Ollivander stretched out his hand and pointed to a small circular platform not far away.
He then found a dusty wand box in the corner of the studio and handed it to Vizette.
"There are always some particularly picky wands that can never find a suitable wizard. But I think... they won't refuse you."
Inside the box was a black wand covered in bumps. Vizette cast the Guardian Meditation Technique, weighing the wand in his hand for a moment…
