Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 17: Understanding Magic! The Essence of the Panel!
The moon is high in the sky.

Shining upon the ancient castle of Hogwarts.

It also shines on the peaceful village of Hogsmeade.

"Lumos!"

The bright light dispelled the darkness in the cabin, illuminating the minimalist furniture in the cabin, and even the small spider on the spider web in the corner was clearly visible.

Another attempt and practice of magic.

just.

This time.

After the light came on, it did not go out like before - through repeated practice and repeated improvement of proficiency, Ian finally basically understood the essence of this wizard's entry-level magic - what was shining at the tip of his wand was not the light of the sun, but the embodiment of the wizard's inner spiritual light.

Yes.

This is the essence of the magic of [Illumination Spell].

At least.

This is the superficial essence that Ian has now realized.

“It’s a world of idealism.”

Even though he was mentally prepared for the unscientific nature of magic, when he actually came into contact with and learned his first magic, Ian couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh.

All magic.

All from the wizard himself.

The power comes from "belief".

This was the explanation of magic that Ian had heard before. Now, the little bit of the superficial essence he understood happened to be very similar to this explanation.

perhaps.

When Ian has learned enough magic and his magic level is high enough, he will be able to truly find the secret of the birth of magic and solve people's curiosity about the origin of magic for many years.

"I still have a long way to go just to achieve this." Ian felt a little dizzy at this time, which could probably be attributed to the consumption of magic power.

of course.

In fact, Ian did not have that clear feeling of overdraft and consumption. The magic power in his body did not decrease at all. It was more of a fatigue similar to that after staying up late for a long time.

obviously.

The wizard's magic consumption is not the same as the one in video games, where there is a clear increase or decrease in "mana". The so-called magic consumption is actually more accurately described as the "weakness" of magic.

It's like a weakening of some activity, which requires a certain amount of time and rest to become active again. Well, it's similar to how the energy consumed by exercise can be restored after rest.

"Fortunately, I have already learned the lighting spell. It's getting late. I need to pack up and go to sleep." This feeling of staying up late is a good thing for Ian.

otherwise.

With what happened today and the excitement of coming into contact with magic, it was not easy to get enough sleep, just like many children coming into contact with a game console for the first time.

The feeling after the magic power "weakened" completely replaced the effect of sleeping pills - the bed in the bedroom was very tidy, with the unique faint scent of lavender.

It must have been changed not long ago, which saved Ian the time of turning on the sheets. After a quick shower, Ian covered himself with the quilt and lay on the bed.

outside the house.

The sound of flowing water and the croaking of frogs complemented each other. Although Ian felt exhausted from the consumption of magic power, he still couldn't help but check his panel again.

That feeling.

It's as childish as if he was afraid that the magic he had learned would disappear quietly again.

Name: Ian Prince

Occupation: Blood Warlock

Magic: Level 4

Skill: [Lighting Spell (Level 1): 1/100]

Language proficiency (level 4): 743/800
Biological Anatomy (Level 5): 69/1600
Free Fighting (Level 3): 86/400
Psychology (Level 6): 84/3200
[Psychology Extraordinary Characteristics: Thought Perception] [Biological Anatomy Extraordinary Characteristics: Butcher's Instinct]

……

【Lighting Spell】 was successfully upgraded to level one.

I am one step closer to awakening the [Extraordinary Characteristics].

Having only level four magic power may not be considered an outstanding talent, but Ian is not at all frustrated or disappointed about this. As the little wizard grows older, his magic power will basically be greatly improved.

Magic power is not the problem.

The learning and application of magic is the key to whether a wizard is excellent or not.

"In that case, what old Biden, the wand seller, said is right. I will definitely be a very good wizard." Ian's heart couldn't help but swell a little.

This is indeed the case.

With such a powerful auxiliary golden finger, learning all magic will become much easier for Ian. After all, every improvement in skill proficiency can bring enlightenment to Ian.

And the level increase from 0 to 1 like the [Illumination Spell] can make Ian feel a wonderful epiphany, as if something that was originally distant and hazy could be touched by just reaching out.

This is of course an extremely incredible ability.

It is also a talent that countless wizards dare not even think about...?
Perhaps other wizards control a spell by simply following the description in the textbook, and replicating the "process" summarized by their predecessors through experience in a copycat manner.

however.

Ian's understanding and learning of magic was different from this.

After every attempt.

Ian would have a better understanding of the magic behind the spell. Strictly speaking, what he learned was not the spell, but the magic behind the spell itself.

This is what really makes Ian special.

He is studying the Fa.

And more wizards, even adult wizards, only learn that "spell".

It's like learning the [Illumination Spell].

Even when most wizards graduate, their use and understanding of the introductory magic for freshmen of this grade is probably still based on the experience of their predecessors.

This is why wandless spellcasting is absurd to most wizards.

"Spells" are shortcuts.

As long as the wizard recites the corresponding spell, he will trigger the magic linked to this "shortcut", and over time he will naturally become dependent on this "shortcut".

And if you want to cast spells without a wand.

It is essential to understand the nature of the magic contained in the spell.

Maybe many years ago.

There will still be many wizards who pursue and explore the true meaning of magic. But in this era of development, it is clear that those who are impetuous are not just the so-called Muggles.

Just as Muggles no longer use letters after having the telephone, with the means to easily use magic, most wizards will naturally abandon boring and difficult research.

The truth is always explored by only a few people.

The same is true for magic.

“I don’t know what level of perception I need to reach before I can cast magic without a wand…” With expectations for the future, Ian slowly fell asleep.

tonight.

He did not choose to control dreams.

and so.

The bizarre dreams are much more exciting than usual.
