Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

These officially sold prank items all need to be inspected by the Ministry of Magic, so they contain very little evil magic and are mainly focused on entertainment and fun.

Fred and George were immediately captivated by the prank props.

"A nose-biting wine glass...it's so clear! Worth studying! Like those nose-biting teacups, the curse is hidden in the patterns. How did this glass wine glass achieve that?"

"Oh wow! This candy box looks fierce, it even has sharp teeth on it... It looks like dog teeth, and it makes your mouth water if you bite into it! It's disgusting, but I like it!"

"Ink that appears and disappears? How do you use it again...? That works! Words written with exhalation and inhalation must also be viewed with exhalation and inhalation; they can't appear simultaneously. That's fantastic!"

Wizards are quite talented when it comes to prank props, and perhaps those "wizard pranksters" deserve some credit for making all this possible.

……

Among the souvenirs that Wizette brought were two magical cookbooks with Swedish characteristics, as well as magical crystal glass unique to Smorland.

These crystal glasswares are imbued with a magical ability to preserve food, making them highly practical.

Besides that, there are local Swedish sweets and pastries.

The Weasley twins were about to hide their prank props when, led by Ron, Vizet and Luna entered the Burrow and greeted Molly.

After exchanging pleasantries, Vizette and Luna returned home to pack their luggage.

When the two checked the calendar, they realized that August had quietly arrived.

Xenophilius is busy again. This trip to Sweden has given him a lot of material to accumulate and even gained him a large number of readers, which is an unexpected bonus.

These readers, from the island of Midgard and their relatives and friends, wanted to buy "The Quibbler" as a way of expressing their gratitude.

Regardless, he was still very happy.

The ability to sell "The Quibbler" in Sweden justifies adding another title to the magazine—that it is sold overseas.

……

The eight-legged divine horse used its special magic to hide among various flowers, plants, and trees, and followed Luna to England.

During that time, it also traveled on the Vasa, but it suffered from seasickness and remained dizzy in its cabin for several days.

Its eating habits are similar to those of a phoenix. Luna fed it various berries along the way to keep it from getting too uncomfortable.

After arriving in England, perhaps because it had a garden at home, it didn't go through any adaptation period and settled down happily.

The eight-legged horse likes to hide among the flowers, plants, and trees. It will appear when Luna and Vizet are around, watching with wide eyes as the two work together to water and fertilize the plants.

It would also play by itself in the garden, sneaking up behind Diana and Thor, then snorting loudly as it watched the two owls hooting and shaking their heads and bodies in the air.

It also likes to tease goblins. When the goblins are carrying berries back to their burrows, it will suddenly pop its head out and snatch the berries. After the goblins realize something is wrong and start spinning around, it will put the berries next to the entrance of the burrow.

The goblins seemed a little slow to grasp the situation. Two or three days later, they actually gathered at the entrances of those caves, hoping that berries would suddenly sprout from them.

This behavior didn't last long. After a day and a night, they were so hungry that they had no choice but to start looking for berries on their own again. As a result, the eight-legged horse came to tease them again.

And so, another round of waiting and starvation began for the goblins...

-------------------------------------

Wieset also gained a lot from her trip to Sweden.

Sweden has many wizarding relics, although they are not as old as the relics of Odin, they can still provide a lot of ancient magical power.

Various murals remain in the wizarding ruins, and books interpreting the murals are sold in the surrounding area.

The skill levels of the sorcerers who interpret the murals vary, and this difference in skill level is reflected in the prices.

A book interpreting a mural by a powerful wizard can often cost between fifty and two hundred gallons.

The most basic interpretation of the murals typically costs one or two Galleons for a single book.

Thanks to his unique circumstances, Wizette would buy the cheapest interpretation and then browse through all the other interpretations at the stall.

It could be said that his biggest gain from this trip was the various interpretive books floating around in his mind.

Connecting the interpretations of the same wizarding ruins often leads to a history of exploring a particular magic.

Wizards gain inspiration from certain natural phenomena and begin to try to research and create some kind of magic.

After developing the prototype of this magic, they continued to refine it based on the murals and the wizard's own knowledge, making the magic easier to use.

For ancient wizards, who had not yet invented tools like wands, the methods of casting spells were often very complicated, which led to the development of so-called "ritual magic".

Ancient wizards often needed to prepare beforehand, calming their minds and concentrating all their energy before casting spells.

Then, through a "medium" containing magical properties, the medium is placed in a certain arrangement;

Then comes the tedious chanting of incantations. Ancient incantations were often quite long, and attention had to be paid to the rhythm and cadence of the chanting.

In addition, certain ritual magic requires attention to the timing and the location where it is performed...

By reading and interpreting these murals, Vizet was able to grasp many principles of magic.

……

Vizette focused her research on the Water-Making Spell.

Starting with ancient ritual magic, the process is gradually simplified and evolved into modern magic, allowing you to learn water-making spells in a way that traces back to the source.

According to Hogwarts' normal teaching process, he would only be able to access this magic in Charms class after he received his OWL certificate and entered the sixth year.

Vizette chose this spell because the water-making spell is very practical.

The most obvious effect is the literal "water creation." Once you master this magic, there will never be a risk of water shortage again.

Water is the source of life, equally important to both Muggles and wizards, and has a wide range of applications.

For example, the water used in potion making often uses dew or pure water.

Dew contains magical properties and can only be obtained through collection.

The key to pure water is "purity," which means that the water must not contain any impurities.

The simplest way to do this is to buy it directly;

Alternatively, boil the water and then use appropriate equipment to collect the water vapor;

And a seemingly simple but difficult-to-implement method—directly separating impurities from the water using magic.

After in-depth study and interpretation of the murals, Wizette mastered this method.

It can precisely adjust the water-creating spell to directly "create" pure water.

As the saying goes, "learning by analogy," after mastering the delicate operation of "creating" pure water, Vizet's control over the Silent, Wandless Levitation Charm also improved...

Chapter 46 Attracting Thunderclouds

After mastering the water-making spell, Vizette immediately shared the magic with Luna.

Luna hasn't officially enrolled yet, so it will take her some time before she can use her wand to cast the Water Creation Spell.

However, this did not dampen her interest; she was very fond of ritual magic related to water-making spells.

After several trials, Vizet found that the ritual magic of the water-making spell was safe, so he felt relieved and helped Luna draw up the sketch.

Instead of using common mediums like crystals or magical animal feathers, Luna chose various common magical plants from her home for the ritual magic.

Throughout the entire ritual magic, the water-making spells she cast always contained a special flavor, varying from sour to sweet, which was quite interesting.

This kind of water would also attract the curiosity of the eight-legged horse, which would come over and lick a few mouthfuls of the sweet water, then stomp its hooves.

With the eight-legged divine horse watching from the side, Wizette felt relieved and continued to organize her findings from her trip to Sweden.

With the curse of malice purified, he can now cast Ancient Magic: Instant Shield much faster, summoning a magical barrier with just a wave of his hand.

In this way, all the previous hidden dangers have been resolved.

Vizette turned her gaze to "Thunder," a very special ancient magic.

"Thunder" only gives the name of the spell without presenting the specific content, which is somewhat similar to the situation with "Ancient Magic: Purification Spell".

When he improved the Purification and Cleansing Spell, he provided specific details, but he needed to name it.

Following this line of thought, he needed to study "Thunder" in depth so that the pages could record the specific content.

The ruins of Odin are located in Sweden, a country where wizards have naturally conducted extensive research on lightning magic.

The most direct manifestation of this is, of course, the various murals in the wizarding ruins, and the corresponding interpretations of those murals.

Whether it's the murals in wizarding ruins or the various myths and legends of the Muggle world, descriptions of lightning often include the following: lightning represents power and authority.

Just as he had seen in that colorful world, all the magic unleashed by the skeletal figure was neutralized by the simple, unadorned lightning.

Using Ancient Magic: Instant Shield as a defensive measure and then choosing Lightning as an offensive measure is undoubtedly a very good choice.

Having learned the Water-Making Spell, Vizette also used the murals to explore the ancient magic of "Thunder".

There are several interpretations of the murals about lightning, and Vizette chose one of them, starting with ritual magic.

The ritual magic to summon lightning is much more complex. It is best to choose a day when a storm is approaching; gloomy weather with no sun is a secondary choice.

The location is also important; it's best to go to a mountaintop or a sufficiently open high ground, and you also need to use pure water to clean the surrounding area.

Compared to the demanding conditions of location and weather, the arrangement and combination of media is much simpler; all that's needed is enough oak branches to stand them all up...

Vizet didn't go too far from home; she performed the ritual magic in an open space not far away.

He primarily experiences the process of ancient wizards summoning lightning by constructing ritual magic.
