《Harry Potter: A Certain Hogwarts Professor Of Magic》Chapter 8 - Golem
Advertisement
What does it take to make a 'real' magical golem?
First of all, what is a magical golem? Simply put, it's a guardian of the house. As far as Felix knows, there are many stone golems at Hogwarts, which are extremely complex to craft and have survived for thousands of years, ensuring the safety of Hogwarts.
But for teaching purposes, there is no need to be so demanding.
Good clay, the right amount of dragon dung, and some blood from a magical creature - dragon blood is best, of course, but as far as teaching aids are concerned, they'll have to be cheap.
But he could get himself some high-level battle golems for his personal collection ...
Felix quickly submitted an application to Professor McGonagall, and after some complicated communication, Professor McGonagall finally agreed to his idea and let him try it out.
A formal letter of employment was sent with that letter, along with a small bag of golden galleons.
Felix quickly gathered the materials for the student version of the magical golem, digging the clay himself and scavenging dragon dung and blood of magical creatures from the black market. He then spent the next three days travelling around Diagon Alley and Knockturn Alley, as well as a few different wizarding black markets around the world, before finally assembling the high-level materials for his own "refined" version of the magic golem.
Afterward, Felix wrote to his "dear" old Slytherin classmates and borrowed a temporary loan of house elves from their home to create a magical version of an assembly line.
Felix emptied his home and cast a spell to stretch without a trace, transforming the room into the size of a square.
In front of him was a row of house elves.
"Gentlemen, I'm counting on you!" After Felix had demonstrated how the golem models were made, he took a step back and delegated the tasks.
As for himself, he was busy too! As well as redesigning his own 'refined' battle golem, adding all sorts of restrictive and powerful enchantment circuits to it, he also has to keep the house elves well-fed so that they can concentrate on their work.

Felix is not just talking out of his ass, as testified by the house elves: "Mr Hap is really great!" xN
Time slipped away, and before we knew it, half a month had passed.
Felix looked at the hundreds of models of magical golems with great satisfaction, even though they did not have a single magical circuit and could barely be considered as a rough piece.
But that was enough.
On the occasion of their farewell, Felix prepared a sumptuous farewell dinner for the house elves.
"That was very generous of you sir!" xN
After another wave of thanks, Felix sent the 'volunteer labours' away.
For the next week, Felix began to carve ancient magical texts of varying degrees of difficulty, according to the number of people in each grade, while using reinforcement spells to prevent damage - after all, it's all worth money!
Felix worked himself to death to get it done.
"I'll never do that again! I'm so tired!"
Felix felt drained and pale, but his understanding of ancient magical texts had taken a big step forward.
At random, he picked up a half-finished magical golem, a palm-sized (about half a foot) humanoid puppet that looked like a young man of proportionate size, dressed in an oriental school uniform and wearing a pair of black gloves with exposed fingers and a golden sun emblem embedded on the back of both the gloves on the top.
After a few minutes of filling out the ancient magic circuit, he waved his wand and the golem immediately moved.
First, it moved its arms and legs experimentally, kicking and punching, then it raised its index finger in a classic pose, paused for a few seconds, and then swung its arm violently, sending a ball sized flame following the predetermined ancient magic circuit, flying half a meter from its finger ...
"Heh heh heh ..."
Felix's magical golem, although inspired by a fighting game, is not an exact copy, with some modifications to its appearance and moves.
There are twelve different puppets, ranging from pretty boys and girls to old men and little kids, so students can choose the one they like.

In addition to the basic character fighting moves, each puppet also has an " external skill " design. However, in view of the reality of the situation, Felix did not make it too complicated, but divided it roughly into four types: "Fire", "Ice", "Lightning" and " Slash".
In the case of fire, for example, given the safety concerns (and not to underestimate the bears among the young wizards), the student version of the magic golem's " external skill " is the most common type of fire, with a cooler appearance at best.
He was so well versed on this point that he even magically altered a character's skill to transform into a flaming bird - yes, a phoenix.
Felix was very pleased, perhaps he could bring a new trend to Hogwarts!
With the teaching tools sorted out, Felix turned his attention to his own 'refined' battle golems.
There are six of them.
If I had to put a label on them to satisfy everyone's imagination, they could be summed up in the following keywords.
Hot lady of the Fiery sorcerer.
Miss Cold beauty of Ice.
Beautiful Miss of the Lightning.
Cute Sister, Master of Blade.
Miss Beauty of Speed.
Seductress Metamorphosis Pro.
The features are surprisingly consistent!
All in all, he has added two new types to his collection, the Fast Assassin and the Shapeshifter. These six figures are not just a bunch of cheap stuff, but rather they are gold pieces that have taken him a lot of time to complete, with a lot of high-level materials, complex ancient magic, and preservation magic.
The Fiery sorcerer, for example, is inscribed with a powerful magical flame that is extremely hot and can be projected over a distance of 20 meters, with the strength to shatter a wall and maintain this level of combat intensity for ten minutes.
According to his estimation, one of these six magic golems could easily beat a 7th-year graduate.
The six golems are a combination of long-range attack and melee, speed and strength, attack and disruption. They can be used individually or in teams of two, three, four, or even six, and their power can increase exponentially over time.
Well, Felix felt with malice that the six golems together would have no problem holding off an anonymous Professor of Potions for ten minutes!
The only drawback is that they would require a wizard to control them.
But the point is that Felix himself is much better than these magic golem ...
Felix shook his head, there was still a lot of room for improvement.
At the very least, they should be given a certain amount of battle intelligence.
Looking at the rest of the ingredients, he thought about it and decided to mix some inferior materials and make five more golems, stronger than the student version and weaker than the collection version.
Consider it a prize for the course... five grades, one for each grade!
Perfect!
Felix took out a little box and put the teaching aids in it - needless to say, the box was also under a traceless stretching spell.
Without thinking much about the six artefacts of his own, Felix waved his wand and let them drift up to a green ring on his left index finger.
The ring, which resembled a storage ring, was essentially alchemy reinforced with a traceless stretching spell and a reinforcement spell.
It is also engraved with a hidden magic circuit to limit magical fluctuations and looks like a fancy gem ring.
But this ring holds a third of his fortune from all his travels!
But Felix has already built two of these caves and is still missing the last one.
He had already found the third one the other day.

The General Core {The Sphere}
The life cycle in the Sphere is on the brink of collapse because one of its elements, the Dungeons, have been exploited too much by the mortals. The group who created the Sphere already tried and failed with several modifications, because the original computer-like dungeon cores are too inflexible to handle changing approaches. So they try another type of solution – taking souls from other worlds to try to find a solution before the Sphere Cycle breaks down completely. The General was one of the best soldiers of his world, rising from the ranks of a private through Officer School to the highest command with honors. But when his world faced a zombie apocalypse, even that was not enough and he had to make the ultimate sacrifice. Now he is asked for a repeat performance of planning and controlling a dungeon and its spawns in a world that he knows nothing about… But what is the Sphere really? What is that [Xenotic conversion] he has to go through to even enter the Sphere? Something is really strange and he will have to find out what is going on to get to his promised rewards – whatever they will be. Being a soul in a dungeon core means that the General has better chances of finding hints to the truth about the sphere – a knowledge that would help him survive. And no, the sphere is NOT a virtual reality – the key to its secrets is the place where it was physically constructed (Author’s hint). This is a dungeon core story - but there are quite a number of things that I will do differently than common to those stories. 1) I will describe the floors when they are explored, NOT when they are build. Yes, that will mean it will take longer to get to those parts - but I think describing floors both when they are build and when they are explored destroys quite a lot of chances for suspense when adventurers enter the dungeon. After all, if you as the reader already know where the traps are, then you can't really be surprised when the surfacers encounter them. 2) How the world works (and how not) is an integral part of the story, so it will be explained I'm a world-builder first and the Sphere is NOT a regular world (as hinted in the synopsis above). Things will work differently than in your 08/15 default dungeon core stories - as the General and Gunny have already learned in the second arc (and more of that is already scheduled for the next weeks (July/Aug 2019) when the Sky Arrows continue to explore and evaluate that strange dungeon) If you don't like these premises, then I'm sure you'll find a lot of other Dungeon Core stories more to your liking. But if you are interested in more than "Dungeon builds another room and corridor in medieval earth" and are not afraid of a longer and slower story, then go on. I have two more stories in the Sphere, although they both have lower priority than this one: Shaleen the Wanderer (Adventurer, NSFW) (currently on hold after some chapters) Info's on the Sphere (System Docu and Short Stories) (irregular updates when needed) Current Status reports have been moved to a new discord server: https://discord.gg/EaHkXCfm9y

Changement : Version Face [French]
Notice: This story is in French, not in english, mainly because of my poor english. I may translate it later if I get better, and hopefully I will. _ Les cris de souffrance résonnent dans ses oreilles, dans sa tête et dans son coeur. Cette dernière image, ces derniers instants, ces morts incompréhensible, rien ne sera plus jamais pareil pour Nils Nocquat. Il sombre, et dans les ténèbres, découvre la fache cachée de son monde. Qui est coupable? Démon, Ange et autres Sonen, tous se renvoient la faute, et maintenant, Nils Change, il doit faire un choix. Indécis, il lance une pièce. Face. Il a choisi son camp. Il deviendra un Ange, le meilleur ou le pire de tous, ce n'est qu'une question de point de vue. - Author's note: this story is a concept. During the first chapter, the main character is faced with a major decision, which will change his life forever, and, not knowing what to do, he decide to play heads or tails, and let fate choose for him. And so there will be two versions of this story, one for each of the result, and their consequences for the main character, as well as all those around him. Here, he got heads. Note de l'auteur: Comme dit plus haut, cette histoire sera en français, car je ne suis pas assez bon en anglais. De plus, cette histoire est un concept un peu particulier, le personnage principal va se retrouver face à un choix décisif qui va changer sa vie pour toujours, et, ne savant pas que faire, il va jouer à pile-ou-face, en laissant le destin décider pour lui. Il y a donc deux versions de cette histoire, une pour chacun des résultats de son lancer. Lien de l'autre version: https://www.royalroad.com/fiction/28317/changement-version-pile-french Je vous encourage à ne pas lire les deux versions, ou en tout cas, à ne pas les lire en même temps. Elle sont assez peu similaires, mais des choses vont, logiquement, être répétées, et les confusions risquent d'être rapides, surtout au début des histoires. Dans tout les cas, ces deux histoires vont s'éloigner assez rapidement, tout en restant intrinsèquement liées par leurs personnage principal. Libre à vous de choisir la version qui vous plaît le plus, sachant que vous n'aurez pas besoin de lire les deux pour comprendre toutes les intrigues, elles sont absolument indépendantes l'une de l'autre. C'est la deuxième fois maintenant que je publie quelque chose que j'ai écrit, mais ça ne me rends pas meilleur en terme d'orthographe et de grammaire, donc si vous relevez une erreur, où même si vous remarquez des incohérences, n'hésitez surtout pas à me le faire remarquer. Toute critique, qu'elle soit positive ou négative, est appréciée. En terme de rythme de publication, je pense sortir un chapitre par semaine dans chacune des deux histoires.
