Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 194: Wizard Card Club
Albert is writing to Sierra Harris while several roommates try to wipe out their lunches. The content of the letter is to greet and express the willingness to exchange letters with each other. At the end of the letter, Albert briefly introduces his vision on the magic lamp to Harrisis.
Actually, Albert has tried to store the light ball in the box more than once, but the result of this is that the light ball that loses its magical power will automatically dissipate if it cannot be maintained for too long.
The idea of the magic lamp was originally based on the light extinguisher. If you can have the technology to store the light source, you can naturally create a magic lamp.
Of course, if you want to make a magic lamp, there are naturally simpler and more crude ways.
Example: Eternal Fire: Gublai Immortal Fire.
Use the Gublai Fire as a light source, then place a special glass cover on top to allow the Gublai Fire to provide a steady, consistent, bright white light.
As for the switch problem, as long as you get something similar to a cover, you can directly isolate the light when it is not in use.
Albert happens to know a way to completely block out light.
In the novel and the movie, the Weasley Brothers created an opaque smoke bomb, using its opaque properties to create an opaque lampshade.
However, most of the assumptions are still just on the notes, and it is not easy to turn the assumptions into reality.
Albert did not return to the auditorium until Shera flew away with the letter.
Fred, George, and Lee Jordan have finished their lunch and are getting together to study Albert's wizard card notebook and help transcribe card names and effects from it.
Across the three of them, Angelina and Arya are looking at the new cards, discussing whether to ask Albert to help them make the original cards.
After all, the original cards of the four of them looked really good, and they were more than a notch better than the cards they were using now.
"However, it's not very good to use photos directly on wizard cards." Angelina also found many problems.
While the Witcher card is similar to the Chocolate Frogs, it still feels a little weird.
"We don't have the money to find a brilliant painter." Albert sat down beside Arya and shook his head. "If you really want to replace pictures with pictures, it will be a long time ago."
Of course, Albert had already thought of a backup plan. If he didn't use photos later, he would use portraits instead of photos.
"You can draw portraits?" George couldn't help asking. He knew that Albert knew a lot, and it didn't seem strange that he said he could draw portraits.
"No." Albert flatly denied, "If there is such a need, Muggle painters can pay for it to help, and then use magic to reprocess the portrait."
Albert's words surprised several people who had never thought to borrow Muggle power to accomplish something.
"We'll talk about these things later." Albert raised his hand to stop the few people who were hesitating to speak, indicating that they didn't need to care, after all, it was a long time ago.
However, the thinking patterns of the wizards living in the magical world still left him speechless.
A few people took turns to help fill out the cards, which made it more efficient, and it didn't take long for a lot of new cards to be added. Albert also clearly divided the camp. At present, only the Big Four of Hogwarts have different effects, and the HP of all players is fixed at 20 points.
Perhaps, subconsciously, everyone currently only uses Gryffindor's faction.
"You said, if the mysterious person appears on the wizard card in the future, will it startle everyone?" Albert said this in a joking tone. However, he soon noticed that the atmosphere around him suddenly froze.
"What's the matter?" Albert looked around in confusion.
"Wizard cards will appear in Mystery Man's cards?" Angelina's tone was slightly disturbed, apparently not thinking it was a good idea.
"Of course it will appear, and there will be a dark wizard's camp in the future. I think the mysterious man is quite suitable." Albert's voice faded, and he finally realized what was going on.
Wizards born in the magic world will have an instinctive awe and fear of mysterious people. They don't seem to have plug-ins, they don't seem to be from the Muggle world, and they don't seem to know the weaknesses of mysterious people. The mysterious man has no nose after being reborn.
Other people living in the wizarding world are different from themselves, they grew up listening to the horror stories of Mysterio, and still have a fear of Mystery, even if they haven't experienced the period themselves.
"Wow." Fred suddenly said, "Aren't you afraid at all?"
"I'm from the Muggle world." Albert explained with a shrug. "It's no different to me than a normal name."
"You really want to put the mysterious man into the card, what are you going to do if you don't have a photo?" Li Jordan asked curiously.
"This is very simple, just make the photo dark, and then leave a pair of red eyes." Albert blinked and smiled, "The mysterious man, the famous Dark Lord, you Just make him mysterious and terrifying, and not many people have actually seen the mysterious man anyway."
"It makes sense." George nodded.
"I said, can you guys not discuss this matter." Arya couldn't help complaining that for most wizards in the wizarding world, the mysterious person is a taboo, and it is these **** who dismiss this matter. It was taken out as a joke.
"Okay, anyway, this matter is a long time ago." Albert rearranged his cards, adding the original number of cards, the number of card types has exceeded 100.
Sanna came over and looked at the group of people playing cards on the table, wondering, "Is this game really fun?"
"Well, it's more fun to play with a lot of people," Albert replied. "It tests your understanding, combination and use of cards. You need to think about how to use strategy to defeat the enemy, not like George. Only stack high star cards."
"Hey, don't use me as a counterexample." George protested dissatisfiedly.
"I think you're the best counter-example." Lee Jordan nodded in agreement.
George is now ready to go to the dark side, and he is trying to match his own tactics, especially after the card is further improved, such an idea is really possible.
Hearing Lee Jordan's words, several people couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Why does your card look like this, and the other cards look rough?" Shanna pointed to Fred's card and asked inexplicably.
"Well, this card was specially made by Albert a while ago, isn't it cool for me?" Fred was able to say: "In the future, other cards will gradually become like this. .However, it will be slower for Albert to make cards by himself. When we have his level, we will help create the original cards together."
"It feels a bit like a chocolate frog picture." Shanna pulled out a Dumbledore chocolate frog picture to compare with the card.
"Indeed, we were originally inspired by the chocolate frog pictures." Albert nodded and admitted, "At that time, we will also make all the chocolate frog pictures into cards. However, for the time being Can't do it."
Sanna sits next to her and watches Fred and Arya play cards, with Fred winning the game.
"Just lost?"
"Well, everyone has twenty health points," Albert explained. "Generally, whichever side's health goes to zero first is the loser. The usual tactic is to exchange money with each other, as much as possible. Inflict damage. Of course, there are many ways to play the wizard card, and it mainly depends on how the individual plays."
"Why are all Gryffindor cards?" Davis, who watched for a while, couldn't help asking.
"Well, because this card game was just invented, I only made Gryffindor cards for the time being," Albert explained.
Katrina picked up a card, glanced at the contents, and raised her eyebrows slightly: "You mean, this is a game you invented?"
"Well, the game I invented," Albert explained. "If you're interested, you can have someone else teach you how to play it."
"Is this the wizard card you mentioned in your last letter?" Truman asked curiously, he remembered that Albert also gave him a card of his own, with the effect of rush attack: you can attack immediately after playing.
"Yes, you can try a game with them if you are interested." Albert pointed to Fred's humanity.
"What if I want cards from my house?" Truman continued to ask, not a student of Gryffindor ~IndoMTL.com~ naturally wanting to use cards from his house.
"Well, other cards take time to design." Albert explained, "Of course, you don't need to worry about my partiality. For the fairness and justice of the card game, I will not be partial when making cards. One party, otherwise it will lose its meaning.”
"I'm here, who will play a game with me?" Katrina reached out to Albert, "Lend me your deck."
"I play with you." Shanna raised her eyebrows. "Fred, lend me your deck."
The two novices start pecking at each other.
Although it was the first time to play a wizard card, after listening to the brief explanation, the two probably knew how to play.
A few minutes later, Katrina lost a little bit badly because she messed around with the spell cards in Albert's deck.
"Is there something wrong with your deck?" Katrina glared at Albert in dissatisfaction.
"You don't know how to use my deck." Albert shrugged, "There are many ways to play wizard cards, and my deck is a bit difficult for you."
Katrina pouted, she actually knew what was going on. Fred's deck is all about Quidditch, and Albert's deck has a lot of spell cards.
"It feels like the deck is very flexible." Truman also saw the style of the two decks.
"Of course." Albert said, "Everyone can play their own style."
"If you are interested in wizard cards, I also welcome you to improve the game with me," Albert said to the crowd.
Of course, not many people are really interested.
After all, wizard cards don't really look that good, and they don't look nearly as interesting as other games. However, some people will be interested in this novelty game.
