Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 54: Ravenclaw's Magic

In the entire wizarding world, there are 11 generally recognized magic schools.

For example, the three universities in Europe have had activities like the Top Three Tournament before, and the contacts are quite frequent.

In addition, the Russian bear has another one - Kodos Dorez.

But speaking of it, Mao Xiong will soon become Big Mao and Second Mao. By then, there will definitely be chaos in the magic world over there.

After all, although the magical world wants to be separated from ordinary people, it cannot be separated at all.

There are only a few hundred thousand wizards in the entire world, scattered across the globe, and it is difficult for them to form a sound society.

For example, in the British wizarding world, not many people are involved in production.

Most food and raw materials are imported from Muggles by the Ministry of Magic through exclusive channels.

There is even some connection with the Muggle Prime Minister.

In addition to the Bear School, there is also the Eagle Sauce Ilvermorny. In the movie "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", that place is the main venue.

It seems that Slytherin's wand turned into a big tree in that school~
There is also a magic place for daily life.

According to Ted's imagination, it should be a Yin Yang Institute or something like that? Specializing in teaching Yin Yang Masters and magicians? Are there any shrine maidens? I don't know.

There is only one magic school in Africa - Wagadu. It has the largest number of students, after all, there is only one wizard school in the entire continent. It's okay if it's not Wakanda~
There is also a Castrobus House in Brazil, built in the rainforest. They are said to be very good at herbology and magical animals.

I am not sure about the other three. They rarely communicate with the outside world. They should be the kind of teaching institutions that maintain the principle of seclusion, such as Kamar-Taj in the Himalayas.
Okay, I'm just kidding. If this really happens, it would be a tragedy!
And in ancient regions like China and India, there must be mysterious institutions that teach "magic" or something else.

But based on Ted's understanding of the Celestial Empire, it must be divided into various sects.

In India as well, there are many sects, some of which are quite legendary, such as the Shaktism!
They admire that behavior to increase their strength, and the more people, the bigger the scale, and the stranger the object, the better!
So I won’t go into details about monitor lizards, crocodiles, etc. You can experience it yourself.
In such ancient areas, many inheritances are based on apprenticeship.

Here in Europe, apprenticeships have basically disappeared in recent years.

How can the teaching level of an individual be higher than that of the whole school? The only advantage is that it can be one-on-one, but the subject bias is definitely serious.

From his conversations with the twin sisters, Ted learned a lot about the magical concepts in India, especially those about will, magic and faith.

The "magic system" in the East is almost completely different from that in Europe.

Especially in terms of faith. Indian faith is so mixed!
China is already in chaos enough, and people believe whatever they claim works. India is even more outrageous, and the situation is in a mess.

But they also admit that God did not exist in the beginning - but, but my friends, but as more people believed in it, God was born!
God is created by man!
So, over there, many of their gods are really useful! There are really people who can draw on the "divine power"!

This is very confusing.

Do I believe in the Flying Pasta Cult? Will a Flying Pasta God really be born in the end and cook pasta without getting mushy?

This is somewhat similar to the idea of ​​the "Chaos School". After all, they can "seek help" from "gods" such as Doraemon and Ultraman Tiga.

The theory of "praying to spirits" to create one's own gods is very similar to that of India.

Ted's foundation is still too shallow. He has been exposed to too many fundamental things and easily confuses himself.

But even without thinking about the issues of faith and God, the "appearance of magic" is enough for Ted to think about.

In fact, Ted had seen three or four hypotheses in the library.

Many wizards throughout history have studied the origin of magic.

Where does the magic come from?

Where does the magic power in a wizard come from?

Some people believe it is blood, which inherits magical power.

This is why in most cases, the children of wizards are also wizards. Even if they are squibs, there is a chance that their offspring will become wizards many years later.

But there is a question: from whom did the first wizard, or the first generation of wizards, inherit his magical bloodline? And where did this magical bloodline come from?

Could it be that they got it from humanoid magical creatures like the giant lizard sect, I mean the Shaktism sect?
It is not impossible.

But wizards also have to save their dignity and cannot bring themselves to make such speculations.

Some people also believe that magic comes from the wizard's will, and that magic is born from the will.

Some also say that it comes from the soul. They believe that the souls of wizards are different from those of Muggles.

Others say it comes from nature and is a "benign mutation."

Some even say it is the power of the stars - yes, some wizards who do astrology and prophecy think so. After all, the stars in the sky do have a great magical influence.

From the origin of magic, we can deduce the origin of spells. Are spells invented by wizards, or are they discovered by wizards?

After mobilizing the information for comparison, Ted concluded that it was invented by a wizard!

You know, the little wizard doesn't need any spells or even a wand to cause various phenomena when the magic power is rioting.

In other words, the earliest wizards may have cast spells silently and without wands.

Later, in order to display more and more complex effects and to reduce the difficulty of casting and learning, spells were summarized through long-term use.

Ted's understanding is that the spell is a hint to the wizards themselves, making them firmly believe that after these actions and words, this result will definitely happen. The spell may even be a hint of their own magic power.

This divergent thinking suddenly reminded Ted of what Helena had said before - "In her last few years, my mother did give up magic spells and a lot of ancient magic, and turned to studying some unusual magic."

Magic spells still exist, but they are very rare.

Because it requires a very advanced study of ancient magic runes, although it has advantages in some aspects, it is of little value when compared with the difficulty of learning.

Therefore, in the past hundred years, very few people have learned and inherited this tradition.

Even the subject of ancient magic runes is still being studied by only alchemists - they use it in alchemy.

As for ancient magic, there is no need to say more. Since it is called ancient magic, it is compared with modern magic.

Most of them have been lost!
It is said that both the underlying principle and the way of casting are very different from the current magic, and the power and effect are astonishingly great.

This kind of power generally cannot be widely spread because of the fear that it will bring turmoil and chaos.

You know, nowadays Hogwarts doesn't teach dark magic, let alone some lethal magic.

The Ministry of Magic does not allow non-Auror personnel to master too powerful magic, which is very detrimental to their rule.

Think about why China bans guns, and then look at the number of deaths and injuries in shootings in the United States every year and you will understand.

In Ravenclaw's time, which was probably around the tenth century, ancient magic should not have been completely lost. At least they must have had some contact with the Big Four.

What kind of magical power could make Ms. Ravenclaw give up her study of ancient magic?

……

Ted said goodbye to the twin sisters and returned to the dormitory. He thought about it over and over again, but couldn't figure it out. He always felt that something was missing.

After becoming a psychic and mastering psychic powers, he hasn't had this negative mentality of worrying about gains and losses for a long time.

He calmed himself down and started meditating, not letting negative emotions affect his state of mind.

Now it's Christmas vacation and all the roommates have gone home. Only Ted and Ansu are left, and it's unusually quiet.

Slowly, the spirit began to spread outwards, and soon reached the common room...

It is still the same statue, and the vague thoughts within the statue.

Psychic powers can detect thoughts, whether it is students' pets, wandering ghosts, or even those magical portraits.

It's just that the feeling is completely different.

Pets have simple but lively thoughts, and ghosts are the same, but they are vague and scattered - in fact, ghosts also have difficulty concentrating and often stay in a daze for days.

The portrait is different.

If a person is an oil painting with bright colors and complex composition, then a pet with simple thoughts is a simple watercolor painting with average painting skills.

A ghost is a sketch that is detailed but blurry. A portrait is a stick figure—simple lines that let you know what it is, but it’s not a good painting.

So what is the thought in the Ravenclaw statue?

It looks like a "bulky 3D image".

The 3D area cannot be without Tifa, just like Hogwarts cannot be without magic... Phew~ I'm distracted.

However, Ted still gained something from this divergent thinking.

Looking back at this special state of mind, Ravenclaw must have achieved something in his final research, but time was not on his side. In the end, he fell seriously ill for some unknown reason and was unable to even see his daughter.

Maybe it was caused by problems in magic research.

Throughout history, there are countless wizards who have killed themselves while studying magic, especially those who explored completely unfamiliar areas that no one had ever touched before.

Since it is a "rolled-up 3D image", how about unfolding it and restoring it to its original state?
The new book period is almost over, I wonder if I can make it into the top ten.
