Hogwarts Study Panel

Chapter 418, Section 416: Enhancement of Spell Talent

Many magical creations work on simple principles.

For example, Wizard Chess is just a game of transformations.

For example, ever-burning candles are just some kind of glowing spells.

However, there are many difficulties to overcome in creating magical artifacts.

Entering someone's memory is a time-consuming process. The last time they entered Professor Dumbledore's memory, it took them an entire day to view just a few scenes.

Now, with his head filled with memories of knowledge, Shin only slept for two hours.

It has to be said, it's quite magical.

As for how Lady Ravenclaw found the material that carried the memories and stored it for over a decade, Sheehan had no idea.

—The scroll has disappeared.

[Encountering special circumstances...]

[Digestive issues...]

【Finish……】

The notification on the panel sounded three times in a row, and Sheen was a little stunned.

Your spellcasting talent has been improved.

[Wizard Sheen, Spellcasting Talent: Pale Purple (Enchanted by a skilled spellcaster). Note: Normally, a wizard's talent is green.]

[Evaluation: You possess a rare talent for spells; with further study, you will become a true master of spells.]

Has your spellcasting talent improved?
Sheen was somewhat surprised, but he quickly understood why his spellcasting talent had been enhanced.

He raised his hand, preparing to cast a cleansing spell on his robe, which was stained with pumpkin juice, but a familiar feeling involuntarily came to mind.

It was as if he had become Ravenclaw himself, releasing spells by following Ravenclaw's past actions.

[You practiced the Cleansing Charm to master standards, proficiency +300]

When the robes were cleaned, he inadvertently glanced at the wand beside him.

Wait a moment……

He looked at the clean hem of his robe and fell into deep thought.

That was... a staffless spell?
Wandless spellcasting is a technique that only wizards with exceptional skill in the field of magic can master.

Dumbledore and Tom both demonstrated this skill.

Another person Sheen knew who was skilled in wandless spellcasting was Professor Terra.

Although ancient wizards almost exclusively used wandless spellcasting, by the time wands became widespread in the 20th century, wandless spellcasting had disappeared in Scotland.

After a moment's thought, some memories of ancient magic became clear in Shinn's mind.

"magic……"

Sheen knew that this was Lady Ravenclaw's memory, and the descriptions within were about ancient magic.

"It is the wizards' description of the power to make wishes come true. Unwavering faith is its banner, and knowledge and wisdom are its wings. There are no other shackles."

As he thought about it, his head became even more dizzy. A few seconds later, everything went black, and he collapsed into his seat.

He didn't know how much time had passed before he opened his eyes and saw Mr. Owl staring at him with wide eyes.

"Be content! Be content! Clever little wizard! Greedy little wizard!"

Mr. Owl was chattering away.

Sheen realized that using the vast amount of memories in his head seemed to come at a price.

At the very least, it comes at a psychological cost.

After a while, he managed to suppress his joy.

He gained Ravenclaw wisdom—wisdom contained within knowledge and magical intuition;
His talent for spellcasting improved, and he also unintentionally learned to cast spells without a staff.

A smile played on his lips as he opened the panel:
[Wizard Sheen, Potions Talent: Blue]

[Wizard Sheen, Herbalist Talent: Blue]

[Wizard Sheen, Magical Beast Talent: Pale Purple]

[Wizard Sheen, Spellcasting Talent: Pale Purple]

[Wizard Sheen, Polymorph Talent: Purple]

[Wizard Sheen, Dark Magic Talent: Gold]

[Wizard Sheen, Alchemy Talent: Gold] Two Legendary, three Epic, and two Elite titles constitute Sheen's current talent.

He looked up with some satisfaction. By now it was broad daylight, and the owl messengers had finished delivering the mail and were flying off to more distant places.

Sheen felt like he had forgotten something, but the memories in his head were jumbled up and he couldn't recall them for the time being.

Meanwhile, in the university hospital, Mrs. Pomfrey looked at the empty beds and let out a scream.

……

Last night, it rained at Hogwarts Castle. Now the rain has stopped, the sky is a clear, light gray, and the grass underfoot is wet and springy.

Sheen went to the Forbidden Forest; Hagrid entrusted the Forbidden Forest to him, and he always had to take it very seriously.

But an unexpected event occurred: Bai Yi, upon seeing the owl on his shoulder, angrily transformed into a fire dragon.

Mr. Owl screech and fled, and it took Sheen quite a while to calm the agitated Bai Yi down.

Now, he has other tasks to complete, such as giving away the two-way mirror.

He always felt that he had forgotten something, but he could never remember it.

Walking outside the castle, Sheen continued to sort through the memories in his mind, namely ancient magic.

These spells possess power that Sheen could hardly imagine, but they are equally difficult to master.

At least just now, when Sheen tried to cast a spell that uprooted a tree, everything went black.

Lady Ravenclaw's memories granted him a certain degree of success, but failed to reduce the depletion of his magic.

The magic he found in his memory was rarely easy to use.

Sheen devised a magic spell that could move mountains and smash giants;

Another magic spell is to summon lightning to strike down a fire dragon...

But many of Sheen's opponents are completely incapable of fighting except for their weapons.

As for the more profound ancient magic, their memories are mostly vague, perhaps because Shinn has not yet been able to access that level, or perhaps they need something to trigger their memories.

Just like when Sheen first used the Cleansing Charm.

Upon entering the castle, Sheen saw a group of young wizards hurrying past, as if they were looking for someone.

He paid no attention and walked toward the Transfiguration office and the cellar.

But they ran into Professor Snape on the way.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at every corner of the castle.

"Professor Snape."

Sheen said.

"Sheen Green!"

Snape yelled and then picked him up.

Sheen didn't understand why; he just felt himself rising.

With a thought, he transformed into a black cat and quickly jumped onto the window.

He felt there must be something fishy about the matter.
