Harry was having a bad day. He had been working on two rituals and both had failed. Two weeks work down the drain as far as he was concerned.

He had been combining very old magic with more modern spell work in attempt to circumvent the laws of alchemy. It had been a sure thing in his book. Use the near limitless supply of electromagnetic radiation in the Earth's crust and transfer it into a wand. His first attempt had failed promisingly simply to much energy had gathered and destroyed the wand. Luckily it was his spare. He then tried a staff. Staffs were basically giant wands and thus could be used as a bigger conductor. The energy pooled perfectly. The staff held strong. He then attempted to cast a simple lumos spell. The world went white. A blazing spear of light shot from the staff before it exploded.

Harry was thrown across the room and caught by Alucard. He had come to find out what the massive magical build had been. The light had burned him but he had stood strong to catch the boy.

"What little monster was that?" He queried

"A lumos spell" Harry replied looking down at his hands. The energy had been so great that the lumos spell acted like a laser. A single partly melting brick was his only proof.

"Don't do that again, ever" Alucard admonished him.

"I was only experimenting"

"Integra would seal you in an iron maiden should you damage her manor further."

Harry scowled "Alucard, what is a stronger conductor than a staff?"

Alucard raised his eyebrow, the boy never learned. "Only two things and both are unobtainable to you."

"They are?" Harry stared at the vampire.

"The elder wand would be a good start. you know the story and have the first two items, but no one knows where the wand has gotten all traces of it vanish around world war 1."

Harry pouted.

"The other would be a perfectly formed elemental prism."

"Which Is?"

"Very rare." Walter walked in and shook his head at the damage "A wand uses a magical creature's hair or other fine body part to focus and transfer raw magic into spells. The wood of the wand simply houses the magical forces and prohibits outside effects damaging the magical conductor. A staff simply upgrades on the idea. Use the whole heart of the dragon, horn of the unicorn, the skull of... well you get the idea. A bigger component means a bigger conduction. Sort of like electricity. Bigger cables means more voltage can pass along it."

Alucard sat down on the work table. Pulling a blood pack from his coat. He then continued the lecture.

"A dark wizard some 2000 years ago came to the conclusion that magical conductors are limited. They can only be so big. What if you instead tried to refine and purify that conductor instead? He took 3 unicorns bleed them dry, he then ground down their horns. Stripped every single hair from their bodies. Every organ was collected. Every bone turned to dust. He then moulded the various items into one mass. He succeeded in creating his conductor. It was called the 'trident of silver blood'."

Walter smiled "No wood was used, no outside materials just unicorn. The shaft was reconstituted bone. Heated to charred black. Cooled in blood. The points were the horns re-crafted. It was pure." His first spell a fireball wiped out an entire village in an instant. He thought he had perfected the perfect wand. But he was wrong. It failed him. It drew far too much energy from him and he was turned to ash."

Alucard smiled "Naturally his apprentice picked up from where he left off. He took the idea ad theory and worked on natural materials the wood of wands instead of the conductors. He fathomed the idea that anything could be a conductor it was just easier to use already magical ones. He travelled to the heart of the elements and from earth, wind, water and fire crafted a sphere of pure power. With that sphere he went one step further and condensed it. He could condense it only 4 times. But by the end he had an elemental prism. Pure as purity could be."

Walter spoke his turn "He copied his master and cast a fire ball. But instead of drawing the power from him like normal it drew from everything. He obliterated a mountain. To us muggles it was Pompey, to Wizards it was the war to fear. But he feared the power too and destroyed the prism. So unless you can figure out the secret of the elements you will never have a prism and since the secret of the elements has long been lost you are going to have a hard time. Lunch is ready. "

Walter left. Harry began to scheme.
