《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.

Elania, Arachne in a different world
Does have GL subplot later on. Warning: Since some people do not seem to get the slice of life idea, this story is SLOW. There is action and I intend to write more of it but don't come here expecting it to be the focus 24/7. A young woman from Earth wakes up in a cave, disoriented, confused, amnesic and with her lower body replaced by that of a giant spider. She has no idea what she stumbled into and all the extra sensations were definitely not helping. "Did I get reincarnated into a fantasy world?" She's not quite sure. But, the goblin, the troll and (soon enough) the hot elf all suggest "yes." As much as it creeps her out, her new body is powerful and flexible in some very interesting 'spidery' ways as she slowly learns to live with it. Combined with what modern knowledge she can still remember, the newly christened Elania soon finds herself building a new life as an adventurer among the elves. Who knows what awaits her? Maybe, just maybe, she might even find happiness along the way. There will be a fair amount of errors in writing up until chapter 43 (where I got a proper proofreader/editor to help me out.) Chapters 1-20 or so will at some point receive partial rewriting because I don't quite like the flow and feel there are some parts that don't make as much sense as they should. Please don't suggest edits for chapters up until 43, anything after that, feel free to in case we missed anything. Find me on discord at : https://discord.gg/TqFjdv8uaE
