Hogwarts Raven

Chapter 45: The Fire Curse! School is about to start!
Time passes quietly and silently.

Like sand passing through your fingertips.

It is already the day before school starts.

Ian has also grown.

The magic in "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" is not difficult to learn. Except for the knowledge about Horcruxes, Ian has already collected the three unforgivable standard bonds.

[Killing Curse (Level 1) 11/100]

[Imperius Curse (Level 1) 1/100]

[Crucio (Level 1) 3/100]

……

Now that he is in the real world, Ian certainly doesn't dare to use his wand to practice these seriously illegal magics. He basically gained control of magic through the study of theoretical knowledge.

This was helped by Ian's outstanding talent in the dark arts, and the explanations by Gellert Grindelwald in Advanced Dark Magic were also indispensable.

of course.

In addition to the three unforgivable curses, Ian only learned two of the dark magics such as the [Crushing Curse] and the [Transfiguration Curse] and did not go into more depth.

after all.

It is better to learn well than to learn a lot.

If Ian wants to improve the level of his magic in the future, he will need to spend time to accumulate proficiency. He feels that it is enough for him to master the black magic that is enough to deal with most situations.

"Learn slowly, and sooner or later it will all be absorbed into my mind."

Ian wasn't in a rush.

He also studies the contents of "Standard Spells: Elementary" on weekdays.

As a diversion from learning black magic.

The magic that the first-year students at Hogwarts need to learn requires some practice for Ian. Fortunately, his magic level is not as weak as it was before.

In a few days.

Although Ian had not yet learned the entire book "Standard Spells: Elementary", he had already mastered the skills to cast most of the easier-to-control spells.

That is the first level of spell.

The only magic that was a little difficult for Ian was learning the art of transfiguration. Just conjuring up a needle troubled Ian for several days and he was unable to gain any proficiency.

[Transfiguration (Level 0) 17/50]

This can really be called slow progress.

I don’t know if he is much inferior to ordinary little wizards.

In fact, Ian could vaguely sense his own problem - just as Dumbledore had reminded him before, he might have paid too much attention to the principles and logic of magic.

This is especially true with the blessing of [Enlightenment of Wisdom].

This is a fairy tale world.

Imagination and the power of belief play a vital role.

Teacher Mara in the misty fantasy also mentioned a similar situation, but her lifelong knowledge was completely no match for Pandro's belief that he could do it.

Compared to those wizards who are full of imagination and believe that magic is a miracle, Ian's thinking as a science and engineering man also makes him somewhat trapped in his obsession with logic and principles.

no way.

Be able to realize this.

This does not mean that this can be corrected in a short period of time.

"Rowena Ravenclaw, the founder of Hogwarts, is also a wizard who advocates rationality. Her Transfiguration is also outstanding. There must be a balance that can be found."

"I did learn painting in an after-school class for a few days. Although the after-school tutor said I couldn't make a living from it, I still have some artistic talent and imagination, right?"

Ian did not question whether he could learn Transfiguration, he just did not know when he could find the balance between reason and imagination. It would take time.

"Transfiguration shattered my confidence, and only this precious knowledge can help me rebuild it." Whenever he encountered difficulties in performing Transfiguration, Ian would reread "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic".

The entire book "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" records numerous magics, which can be roughly divided into three categories: evil curses, poison curses, and death curses, and the danger and viciousness of the magic are increased in ascending order.

In addition to these three types of black magic, there is also a more special type of magic - curse.

"So it was from here that the noseless Voldemort obtained the means to curse the professorship of Defense Against the Dark Arts..." Ian had no intention of studying the curse.

He is always kind to others.

Is there any enemy who requires him to use something like a curse?
There is that time.

Is it that the Killing Curse is not good, or that the valve of the Fiery Blaze Curse is not turned wide enough? Yes, after returning from the Nameless Bookstore, Ian certainly also studied the famous black magic of the Fiery Blaze Curse.

now.

The Fire Curse had apparently become the dark magic with which he was most proficient.

[Fire Curse (Level 1) 76/100]

Because of the same concerns, Ian didn't dare use his own wand to cast and practice such harsh punishment spells. He thought that maybe he should get himself a spare wand someday.

I don't know if Knockturn Alley can be customized?
Anyway.

It is very difficult to improve proficiency without practice. The reason why I can achieve such proficiency in [Fire Curse] is entirely due to the records and notes in "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic".

have to say.

The ruthless Miss Grindelwald was not wrong. When it came to the attainment of the magic of [Firefire], Ian could feel the unparalleled excellence of his grandfather Gellert Grindelwald just by reading the textual annotations.

Now this proficiency.

Ian hadn't even finished reading the notes and explanations about this magic.

"I'm going to school tomorrow, and it will be difficult to read this book then." Ian was looking forward to the start of school, but at the same time he felt a little regretful that he could no longer freely learn these unique magics.

of course.

It would be nice to learn other magic as well.

At that time, he can also learn the alchemy required by Teacher Mara, and Ian really hopes that after Professor McGonagall's guidance, he can successfully find a balance between reason and imagination.

“It will surely be a fulfilling life!”

Ian is looking forward to the future.

He sat down at his desk and started his homework for the night.

"Today, we learned the last part of the Fiery Flame Curse. Grindelwald was able to effectively prevent the Fiery Flame from harming the caster, and he was even able to give the Fiery Flame his own will."

"What a genius improvement!"

Ian lit his wand and couldn't wait to start his last night of study. He was a cautious man, so when he went to study, he decided to bury "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" under the floor of the living room.

Ok.

It has to be placed in the most stinky coffin. I think, even if Snape came back to live in this place, he wouldn't be so perverted as to want to dig up the corpse to have a chat or something.

"The reflection of the mind is particularly important... The more advanced the magic, the more it seems to emphasize this point. Black magic and white magic almost have something in common at a certain stage."

Accompanied by the slow improvement of proficiency.

Ian flipped through the pages related to the [Fire Curse].

outside the house.

The night wind is whispering.

In this book written by Miss Grindelwald, at the end of the last note of [The Fiery Curse], Ian saw a line of words that made him feel a little surprised.

"May you learn something, my friend."
