Chapter 171: First lesson(2)

Nick didn't argue but took out his quill and notebook to copy down this information as while it wasn't super important it was pure gold for his organic smithing experiments. He had been troubled by how different pieces of wood always seemed to have different resistances to different enchantments. Sure he had not actually had a successful case of enchanting a wooden ring beyond the magical grenade he kept in Greed but his experiments showed that like animal parts wood also had affinities. Olivander then left the storage room and entered the workshop that was very different then Nick's as most of the tools within it were meant for wood working instead of metal.-

"This piece of wood is large enough for me to create two housings for wands out of it so watch carefully." Olivander said seriously as he approached the workbench and grabbed a draw knife meant to strip away bark from trees. Using the tool the old man meticulously stripped away the bad parts of the wood's exterior. He the grabbed a small blade with a strange spoon like look and carefully began to peel off slivers of wood from the center of the wooden block.- The inaugural upload of this chapter took place via N0v3l-B1n.

Soon he had a smooth U shaped furrow in the center of the block at which time he grabbed a nearby axe and hammer. Lining the axe in the dead center of that furrow he hit the back of the axe head with the hammer splitting the wood in half neatly. He then set aside one half of the wood and grabbed a box planer and got to work removing excess material from the wood. Once it was perfectly sized he then took sand paper to it to shape it into a wand shape while smoothing the wood at the same time.-

This was a huge deal as it showed that in fact it is common for magical objects to have a form of pseudo sapience if the craft is advanced enough. "Don't go making the mistake of thinking that all wands are like this upon creation as in fact it is only after finding a master that they become like this as their masters magic nourishes them and grows alongside them. To this day no one knows why this is , merely that it is." Olivander explained correcting Nick before his incorrect thoughts could take root.
