Chapter 245

First came the item upgrade cards. Erwin had drawn four of them. He already had a plan for how to use them. Naturally, the first thing Erwin chose was his wand. Although many of the spells Erwin used now didn't require a wand, it had been established before: for high-level wizards, the primary role of a wand was to amplify the power of spells. That was why the Elder Wand was so potent; its amplification factor was incredibly strong. It was also the very reason Voldemort had sought to obtain it. Surely he didn't want it just to pay tribute to Dumbledore? Digging up a grave to retrieve a wand? That would be a terrifying way to pay one's respects. Good heavens, who could understand that—a piece of children's literature featuring a plot about grave robbing? This children's book was truly wild. The last time Erwin had seen a children's story this wild was a certain one where the blue rabbit was dead, the rights and wrongs were beyond debating, and the cat-hero lived as long as heaven and earth. It had to be said that children’s tolerance levels were remarkably high; a book where even the owl perished was actually labeled as suitable for those under twelve.
