Roger had been using this wand since he first learned his first spell.
Unless an extremely special situation arose, Roger had no intention of switching.
Since Ollivander had said that besides the Deathly Hallows, which he wasn't interested in, no currently existing materials could withstand his usage.
It would be better to modify and strengthen his old wand.
"Teach you?"
"Uh, it's not impossible." Ollivander said after a moment of hesitant thought.
After Ancient Magic became history and a new era began, the transmission of magical techniques was no longer as insular as it once was.
Past gatekeeping had transformed into patent barriers.
This meant that learning and using were permitted, but an additional fee was required.
As for Ollivander, although this skill was his livelihood, it also depended on who the other party was.
It was like having a car; lending it to your neighbor Li Si versus lending it to Tsar Bear next door would naturally yield different results.
Looking at the age of the young Seer before him, and the residual power he had felt when examining the wand earlier.
Ollivander naturally knew what the best course of action was.
"But..." he mused.
"If possible, I'd like to be involved as well." Ollivander understood that gifting his knowledge to the Seer in exchange for a favor was the most beneficial choice.
However, he had another idea in mind.
The Ollivander family had been crafting wands since the pre-ancient era, over two thousand three hundred years ago. This dedication stemmed from a love for wands passed down through their bloodline! Compared to the Seer's favor, Ollivander desired to personally participate in the creation of this new wand, which could potentially make history.
Crafting a wand of unprecedented power in world history—forget the Seer's favor, even risking his own life, Ollivander felt he would be making a huge profit! "No, to be precise, please allow me to participate. I am willing to impart all my life's learning."
Ollivander's hair was pale, and his eyes were full of wrinkles. Like most wizards who hadn't reached the pinnacle of their craft, they weren't world-class.
He, too, would have to experience the normal cycle of birth, aging, sickness, and death, just like ordinary wizards.
Wizards who could live for several hundred years were extremely rare. Most wizards didn't live much longer than Muggles, perhaps only around 100 years.
His life had already entered the twilight of dusk. At this point, what was there left to hold onto?
Ollivander was already married and had children. Although his son's craftsmanship was far from his own, he was still a qualified wandmaker.
As an individual, Ollivander had no reservations now. He only wanted to pursue his dreams, just like he did in his youth!
"Of course." Roger agreed to Ollivander's request without hesitation.
"With your help, I believe the creation of the new wand will go smoothly." Roger was delighted by the expert's inclusion.
As always, Roger didn't think there was anything worth keeping secret.
Because this wasn't just Roger's problem; it was a problem that all future wizards would face.
Now that Roger had stepped into a new level of existence by studying the Three-Dimensional Law and gained greater power, it was predictable that he would continue to grow stronger.
And when the Three-Dimensional Law eventually spread, more and more powerful wizards would enter the realm Roger currently occupied.
At that time, everyone would face the issue of existing wands not being strong enough.
Therefore, Roger wasn't just solving his own problem; he was also solving it for those who came after him.
He brought Hermione here so that if she encountered a similar problem in the future, she would be mentally prepared.
"Great!" Ollivander's lips curved into a smile upon seeing Roger agree.
"Then, could you tell me about the approach you mentioned earlier that could solve the problem?"
The Ollivander family had been making wands for over two thousand three hundred years, but until Garrick Ollivander, the entire family, while having some reputation, hadn't reached the status of one of Europe's top three wandmakers.
It was he, Garrick Ollivander, who changed the ancestral methods, abandoning the concept of 'wand materials favored by the wand's owner' and opting for a more pragmatic approach to wand research.
How could 'whiskers from my favorite tabby cat' as a wand core be more powerful in terms of magic than a dragon's nerve?
How many wizards could extend their will to the boundaries of 'Love's Magic' to create miracles? At the same time, Ollivander also rejected the traditional notion of wands choosing wizards, making mutual selection the mainstream.
This was how he had suddenly risen to prominence, becoming a dominant force in the European industry for decades.
At this moment, as he listened to Roger's explanation.
Ollivander's heart began to race, just as it had when he first encountered a wand in his youth, his heart filled with excitement!
"I see, there's actually a method like this..."
Roger explained his three methods to Ollivander one by one, and they began to discuss the feasibility of each.
The first to be 'eliminated' was material reconstruction.
"To strengthen the wand material by altering its microscopic structure."
"While this method greatly enhances durability, it has a side effect."
Ollivander pondered for a moment before saying, "If the material structure is altered, its magical properties will inevitably shift."
"Even if this shift isn't significant, for something as subtle and intricate as magic, even a minor deviation would likely lead to catastrophic consequences."
For example, if the angle deviates by a few degrees when casting a spell, it could turn from attacking an enemy to hitting an ally.
And a mistake in the flow of magic power could even cause the caster to self-detonate! Not to mention, the magical properties of matter are endowed by the thoughts of all living beings. Even if a completely new substance is strong from a material perspective.
But on the magical level, that's not necessarily the case.
Compared to material restructuring, Ollivander preferred Roger's other two ideas.
Conceptual Creation and Second Magic.
"The main wand materials today come from the body parts of magical creatures."
"Creating new magical creatures specifically for stronger wand materials." Ollivander murmured Roger's second concept softly.
Theoretically, this method is feasible.
But there are difficult problems that need to be overcome in its implementation.
For example, how to create magical creatures.
According to Roger, it's not easy to create a powerful enough magical creature.
Roger's individual thought power is clearly insufficient to support it; just one Dream Shadow has already pushed the current Roger to his limits.
And if he were to summon the thoughts of all living beings from the outside, let alone where to summon them from.
In terms of magical properties, how can the created creatures be guaranteed to be compatible with the wand user?
From the wood used for the wand to the core, each has its own unique magical properties: brave, cunning, strong, lucky, arrogant...
If they were to use trial and error violently, who knows how long it would take to find satisfactory materials.
"So, Conceptual Creation isn't very viable either?" Roger muttered to himself after listening to Ollivander's detailed description of various wand-making techniques.
Ollivander is indeed a master wand maker, but he doesn't understand Roger well, nor does he understand Three-Dimensional Law.
He doesn't know that what he considers powerful is just a transitional phase for Roger.
Even if he managed to produce suitable materials through trial and error, they would likely become incompatible again very quickly as Roger's power grows.
This is a superficial solution. If he chose this path, Roger would have to continuously pour his energy into it.
This is clearly not what Roger wants.
Roger thought for a moment, perhaps only the last method could solve the problem.
But...
The path of Second Magic is different from the previous two. If he wants Ollivander to be deeply involved, he must also give him a rough understanding of Three-Dimensional Law.
Unlike Dumbledore and others, Roger knows very little about Ollivander and doesn't trust him deeply.
But after thinking about it, Roger decided not to hide anything.
Since Ollivander hadn't kept anything from him, Roger would naturally respond in kind.
