Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 604 Magic Array

Time: 7:15, in the principal's office.

“Harry, today’s class is a follow-up to the last class.

In your last class, you learned unique combat methods for dealing with large magical creatures besides the phoenix and dragons.

I will explain its principle to you in this class." Dumbledore paused, "You should know that I am well-informed."

Harry nodded.

But he didn't know what this had to do with what he was going to talk about today.

"So I've also heard about your, Draco's, and Ron's speculations.

It was in the Forbidden Forest (Harry's heart skipped a beat, then he was relieved when he heard the word "Forbidden Forest"), and you guessed that the person who killed the unicorn was Voldemort.

And he recovered well.

Because it was easy to kill the powerful unicorn.

After all, the unicorn is classified as XXXX (dangerous/requires specialized knowledge/can only be dealt with by skilled wizards) only because of its gentle nature.

However, you guessed wrong.

Voldemort had not recovered well at that time.

He simply used high-end combat methods against the magic of magical creatures.

Almost all magical creatures have very limited magical powers.

The wizard's magic power is like a universal key.

No matter how strong the lock is, the wizard can transform it into a corresponding key to unlock it and destroy it!
My class today.

It is to tell you how the 'lock' of magical creatures was discovered." At this point, Dumbledore waved his wand.

Silk threads appeared in the air, outlining a simple magic circle.

“I just said that the magic of magical creatures is not like that of wizards, which is very simple.

It is also because of this that some irregular magical patterns appear in their bodies.

By the way, let me digress here and say that there are no wizards.

Our magic is complex yet consistent.

This results in the fact that there is no single magic pattern in our body.

Instead, the whole body is filled with balanced magic power."

The magic circle in midair was split apart, changing from a flat surface to a three-dimensional one, and then into irregular magic patterns.

"It was first recorded in history that an unknown wizard scholar in ancient Greece discovered this.

After studying a large number of magical creatures, these patterns were assembled one by one.

Just like I just showed you, do it backwards.

The magic circle was discovered.

We found that when magic power is input into these magic circles, they will produce the same effects as spells.

Therefore, the magic circles we currently have all come from various magical creatures.

Others are created by our wizards who separated the magical creatures from the magical circles, split them up, and tested them one by one.

The combat methods against general magical creatures that you learned in the last class also originated from this.

Through concise magic circles, wizards can more clearly find the weaknesses of the magical animals represented by the magic circles.

What you are learning is the method of forging the key to the 'lock' composed of overlapping parts of the magical biological array.

However, not all magical creatures have been cracked.

Some of the magic circles they represent have not even been deciphered.

Unicorns are one of them.”

"And how did Voldemort -

Isn't this contradictory?" Harry asked in confusion.

“Not contradictory at all.

Voldemort is completely aware of magic through his own perception.

He used his high level of magic to deal with the unicorn.

He did not go through the complicated steps of studying the unicorn, combining it, testing it, translating it into a flat array diagram, testing it again, and then cracking it.

It was like he was totally using the unicorn as a lock.

His magic spread as fast as water through a keyhole, then froze.

Cast into an 'Ice Key'.

And it is easier to destroy than to create.”

"Is that so? Then does Fawkes, the Phoenix, have a magic circle?" Harry looked at Fawkes with burning eyes.

This caused Fox to shake his head from side to side in displeasure.

“The Phoenix also has no magic circle.

It is singular to the extreme.

Just like Plutosaurus, it doesn't have it either.

I had this feeling during the summer vacation.

After all, if you encounter a powerful magical creature, it would be a shame not to try this.

Maybe we can use magic circles to break down his talent and turn it into interesting spells." Dumbledore winked mischievously.

"Why is this?"

“I have speculated on this.

Perhaps every magical creature has this potential.

When their single magical property is trained to the extreme.

All traces of magic in their bodies will disappear.

And then like us wizards."

"What is the order of the magical creatures and magic circles?"

"The magic came first and then the magic circle, Harry.

I just said that.

Complete magical patterns are often not found within the body of a magical creature.

That is the magic circle.

Usually we study the patterns in the bodies of hundreds of the same magical creatures, and combine them one by one into three-dimensional stripes.

Then it is converted into a plane, and after testing it becomes a magic circle.

Oh, I have to remind you.

I know Hagrid has already provided you with the content of the first event -

One on one to subdue a dragon.

However, dragons are also magical creatures that cannot be dealt with by any combat methods.

Because you can only temporarily reduce its magic.

But the dragon relies more on its strong body.

And Dragon Flame isn't just the effect of magic.

Its body also has organs specifically designed for breathing fire." Dumbledore said seriously.

The eyes hidden behind the half-moon lenses were full of concern.

"Wait." Harry suddenly thought of Professor Riddle, who was not present today, "I recently observed that he is like a humanoid unicorn.

And every Saturday and Sunday.

It will disappear.

Almost no student in the school had seen him during this time.

Could it be because of his magic experiment?

Becoming weaker?
While possessing the powerful magic of the unicorn.

Also inherited the weaknesses of magical creatures.

So you keep finding ways to make up for it in your free time? "

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore waved his wand, and the magic patterns in the air disappeared into the air.

Then he put his wand into his arms, crossed his hands, and the muscles on his face froze, as if he was trying to suppress a smile.

However, he couldn't help laughing in the end, "You have a very keen sense of observation.

But you got the cause and effect wrong.

It's not that he's like a unicorn. It's that the unicorn is like him.

He simply gave up the so-called original sin.

The evolution of magic caused by extreme purity of itself.

His transformation contains the secret of the birth of the first unicorn.

To put it in your way, he absorbed the advantages of the unicorn while maintaining his own magical omnipotence.

If you're really curious.

You can study it.

This is a good topic.

As an old man, I want to remind you.

In the long time to come, interesting topics will also be a good companion to pass the time.

That's what Flamel did.

Studying magic is an eternal subject.

I think you're a perfect match."
