The Rune Mage Starting at Hogwarts

Rizzi took out several basic books and handed them to Dumbledore, continuing, "Here, wizards mainly rely on their wands to guide the magic within their bodies, releasing magic through specific incantations and wand gestures."

"But in Ionia, there is a vibrant natural energy that they call the spirit of the primordial land, so spellcasters there often don't need wands, and even their fighting styles are more diverse."

Ryze uses the dragon's power within Lee Sin, Karma's psionic energy, and Irelia's battle dance to illustrate that on that continent, anyone can manipulate their awakened power in their own way.

“Wandless spellcasting without a wand, and deep spiritual resonance,” Dumbledore said thoughtfully, “that sounds closer to a primitive form of ancient magic, in which ancient wizards on the British Isles mostly communicated with nature through ancient rituals.”

However, with the advent of the wand, magic became more standardized and safer, and those who could not sense traces of ancient magic were able to cast other spells using the wand.

Ryze nodded, and then began to reveal some of the rewards he had gained through the rune system: "In short, through that special meditation method, I also felt some so-called 'spirituality' and gained abilities similar to the Disguise Magus, only much better than the regular Disguise Magus. This is my biggest gain from this operation."

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore looked at Reiz with great interest.

"The ability to disguise yourself as Magus is no simple feat. To what extent can you do it now?"

In the wizarding world, the ability to disguise oneself is an innate bloodline gift, and it is difficult to achieve the same level of effortless change of appearance through shapeshifting.

Ryze didn't explain; instead, he simply stood up.

No wand or spell is needed.

His magical energy fluctuated slightly, and then his figure began to grow taller, his clothes transforming into a tattered black cloak.

Immediately afterwards, an evil aura emanated from Ryze.

In just a few seconds, Ryze transformed into a Dementor.

Meanwhile, the portraits of the principals hanging to the side also exclaimed in surprise at Ryze's transformation. The loudest of them all was naturally from Ryze's unpopular ancestor, Black.

But in the next moment, Dumbledore suppressed his awe at the images and, using his authority as principal, prevented them from telling anyone else what they were seeing in any form.

After doing all this, Dumbledore turned to look at Rizz again, a rare look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

He drew his wand and aimed it at Ryze, but instead of attacking, he simply released a halo of probing magic.

The sensation of magic feedback caused Dumbledore to fall silent.

Not only their appearance and clothing, but even the aura unique to dark magic creatures was indistinguishable from that of a true Dementor.

The next moment, Ryze's body twisted again.

The chilling aura vanished in an instant, and Ryze stood firmly in place, smiling as he looked at Dumbledore.

“This is truly an unimaginable ability…” Dumbledore put down his wand, his tone revealing nothing of his true feelings.

“If you hadn’t performed this transformation right in front of me, based solely on that aura and magical feedback just now, I would have had some difficulty discerning your identity.”

“Ordinary transformation magic can only change the shape and structure of an object. Even the top Animagus can only transform into an ordinary non-magical animal and cannot change the nature of their magic... But the ability you just demonstrated not only perfectly simulated the appearance, but even perfectly replicated the unique aura and magical properties of magical creatures!”

“This is the product of the combination of Ionia’s spiritual meditation and natural spirituality,” Ryze explained calmly as he sat back in his chair. Thanks to the mental defenses in his mind, no one could judge whether what he said was true or false based on his reactions.

"As long as I can understand the spiritual imprint of each creature, I can transform into anything I can see... Of course, I can't create very powerful magical creatures yet."

In the game, Neeko cannot normally transform into boss creatures such as dragons or dragons.

However, what limits Ryze now is not his innate ability to charismatic, but the magic power within his own body.

He cannot currently transform into anything that exceeds the limits of his magic power and physical size.

Seeing Dumbledore deep in thought, Rizz added, "However, this ability is actually very dependent on individual talent, and the 'spirituality' that each person experiences is different."

Dumbledore nodded, agreeing with Rizz's statement: "Powerful magic is often accompanied by strict thresholds. This is a common rule in the magical world. I think only those who possess ancient magical talents like you can possibly feel the 'spirituality' you speak of."

Rizz didn't explain much, but continued, "In short, in the Great Archives of Presidium, I copied a large number of documents on this meditation method and the perception of natural spirituality, and I intend to donate a fundamental portion of these documents to Hogwarts."

"However, this knowledge comes from another magical civilization and is quite different from our world's magical system. I think that before putting it into the library, several professors at the school need to work together to make some localized improvements and adjustments based on our world's magical system, and transform it into elective or supplementary materials suitable for Hogwarts students."

Dumbledore's eyes lit up with approval: "On behalf of Hogwarts, I need to express my gratitude to you. This document from another world that you brought is a tremendous treasure to Hogwarts."

If Ryze hadn't already received a special contribution award, and if Ryze himself didn't care about these things, Dumbledore would now want to give Ryze another special contribution award.

As Dumbledore looked at the books before him, Rez coughed again, continuing to alter Dumbledore's worldview: "In addition to these magical tomes, Professor, I have made another important discovery."

Dumbledore's eyebrows twitched.

Ryze must have brought back way too many new things from this trip to another world.

Either one of them was enough to cause a huge shock to the entire wizarding world.

"Any other important discoveries?" he asked Raz in a low voice.

“It’s about the honey fruit,” Ryze said, placing his finger on his ring and searching it before taking out a honey fruit from the Magic Garden of Ionia.

“In Ionia, I found a small amount of honey fruit, and according to the documents in the Great Archives, this plant has existed in Ionia for thousands of years.”

Upon hearing this, Dumbledore's eyes widened slightly once more.

"According to my research, perhaps at a time when we are unaware of it, our world and Ionia may have experienced a small-scale spatial intersection. The honey fruit seed I found in the Forbidden Forest probably crossed into our world through this method. It is precisely for this reason that we can perhaps explain the special properties of the honey fruit that are completely different from other magical plants in our world."

"Perhaps the reason I was able to reach that world was because of that faint connection between me and the honey fruit."

Dumbledore took the honey fruit from Ionia from Rizz's hand. It did look very similar to the honey fruits that Hogwarts was cultivating, except that it carried more of the natural magic from another century.

While Dumbledore was examining the honey fruit, Rizzi began to move on to the next step.

"In short, besides the origin of the Honey Fruit, I also brought back a lot of materials from Runeterra. I think since the Honey Fruit can have such amazing effects here, these materials shouldn't be any less effective."

He took out portions of the items he had brought back from Runeterra one by one.

Unique ores from Runeterra, magical plants, and some magical items from Noxus.

Dumbledore, who also revered knowledge, couldn't sit still any longer and began to carefully observe these things he had never seen before.

"What do you plan to do with these materials?" After briefly examining these treasures from another world, Dumbledore looked up at Riz. "To be honest, I don't recommend making public the books and materials you brought back."

Rizz nodded: "Yes, these are things from another world after all. When I came back, I heard that there was a large-scale prison break in Azkaban. Voldemort may have used some of his methods. If these things are made public, it will only make the entire wizarding world more chaotic."

Moreover, Rizz doesn't really trust the Ministry of Magic.

Fudge only cares about his ministerial position. If the other side finds out about these things, they will definitely try to interfere and take over these otherworldly resources.

If these things were to fall into the hands of those scoundrels in the Ministry of Magic, it would essentially be a free gift to Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

Chapter 410: Time Converter

Dumbledore looked at the strangely glowing mineral and herbal specimens on the table and nodded to Reiz.

“You’ve thought this through very well, Reiz.”

"The current external situation is indeed not suitable for more people to know about the existence of these things. Even within the Ministry of Magic, many people are only focused on their own interests and do not have the energy to distinguish the value and danger of this knowledge."

“So it’s best to do this only within Hogwarts,” Rhett said, explaining his idea. “A few professors can be responsible for researching and classifying them, and once their characteristics are fully understood, we can then decide how to incorporate them into the yearly magic courses.”

Hogwarts' teaching was not originally solely for passing the wizarding exams. Although the Ministry of Magic set and supervised the exams, Hogwarts professors had considerable influence over the content of the exams.

For example, Professor Flitwick has already added some light magic to the sixth-year curriculum with Ritz's consent. Next year, those who have taken this course will most likely need to demonstrate their understanding of light magic to the examiners in the final wizard exam.

Furthermore, as light magic becomes more sophisticated, these spells will eventually become more accessible, finding the most suitable time to learn them and formally incorporating them into teaching materials.

Based on Professor Flitwick and Ritz's previous discussion, it's highly likely that light magic will be taught in the third year.

Now, the things that Ritz brought back must also follow this same procedure.

First, teach the students to understand it thoroughly, then develop it in small quantities for older students, then incorporate it into exams and gradually confirm the best time to study.

“That’s what I think too,” Dumbledore said, raising his hand and tapping the air with his wand. “But we need to agree on what to say before we call them over.”

"Minerva, Philius, and Bussyda all know about your space exploration during the summer vacation, but Severus and Pomona are unaware of it. For now, just tell them that these things are relics you brought back from some ancient magical realm. I'll explain to them privately later."

“I’ll listen to you, Professor,” Ryze naturally agreed without hesitation.

It's lunch break now, and there's still almost an hour until the first class in the afternoon.

About ten minutes later, the door to the principal's office was gently pushed open.

Leading the way were Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick, with Professor Barbling close behind.

After the three of them entered the principal's office, they first showed a hint of surprise when they saw Reiz, and then their eyes fell on the boxes and manuscripts on the table.

Immediately afterward, Professor Sprout strode in, her robes still covered in dirt, clearly having just come from the greenhouse.

Snape was the last to enter, and when he saw Rhett in the office, his expression remained as indifferent as ever.

“Albus… these are,” Professor McGonagall looked at the items on the table. Although she had a general idea of ​​the situation, she still asked Dumbledore first.

“Don’t be alarmed, Minerva, this is a good thing,” Dumbledore smiled and pointed to the things on the table. “Riz went to explore an ancient and mysterious place during his vacation and brought back a batch of very valuable documents and plant specimens.”

“These things are almost undocumented in the wizarding world today. After discussing it with Reese, he very generously decided to leave some of these items inside Hogwarts for research.”

Upon hearing this, the professors reacted in various ways.

Professor Sprout immediately noticed the seeds and plants in the box that she had no recollection of.

"By Merlin..." Her eyes lit up, and she immediately took out a pair of dragon-skin gloves from her pocket, put them on, and then quickly stepped forward to examine them.

She carefully picked up a seed, examining its texture closely, her eyes filled with surprise.

“The magical fluctuations of this seed are very peculiar,” Professor Sprout looked up at Rhett. “These seeds seem to have a structure that is somewhat similar to honey fruit. Although they look different, they are very similar in that they can absorb the surrounding magic on their own.”

“Your judgment is very accurate, Professor Sprout,” Rizz nodded, then explained briefly to Professor Sprout, “I did indeed follow the source of the honey fruit to find that place.”

“Oh, is that so? That’s incredible,” Professor Sprout couldn’t help but exclaim. “Honey berries alone have already rewritten many traditional theories in herbal medicine. If these seeds can be cultivated, herbal medicine will probably undergo another huge revolution.”

She looked at Reese expectantly: "Reese, can I take these seeds to the greenhouse now?"

“Of course, Professor, these were originally intended for the school,” Rez replied with a smile.

Professor Sprout immediately picked up the box containing the seeds and plants with delight.

Snape, who was standing to the side, also took a few steps forward.

He first looked at the dried plants, then turned his attention to several boxes containing minerals.

After scraping off some powder with a knife and examining the properties of the materials, Snape narrowed his eyes slightly: "Indeed, these are things that have never appeared in the wizarding world before."

He looked up at Ryze, his tone less harsh than usual.

“Although you are a week late, it doesn’t seem like a complete waste of time, Mr. Black,” Snape said, pulling the box containing the ore and dried herbs toward him. “Pomona and I will work together to determine the basic properties, and we’ll discuss the follow-up matters once the results are in.”

“Then I’ll trouble you, Professor Snape,” Ritz replied calmly.

Snape scoffed, "The Potions Festival is next month. I hope you haven't forgotten your Potions skills by this summer."

On the other side of the desk, the other three people focused all their attention on the stack of handwritten copies.

Professor Babling opened one of the books and looked at the text and symbols recorded inside, and sighed repeatedly.

"Indeed, these symbols do not belong to any of the known branches of ancient runes, and I cannot even find any runes that are similar in nature to them."

“This is the meditation method I found there,” Rizz added aptly from the side. “Professor Dumbledore believes it is a kind of ancient magic technique that involves adjusting one’s breathing and mental state to directly mobilize the natural magic around us.”

Professor Flitwick stood to the side, holding a manuscript recording psionic energy, becoming more and more excited as he read it.

“A very interesting power,” Professor Flitwick said, having only read a few pages before becoming very interested in the psionic energy that permeates nature. “Wizards’ magic comes almost entirely from themselves, but this ancient magic allows one to resonate directly with the surrounding environment… The entry barrier is probably not low.”

Professor McGonagall also carefully flipped through a few pages, then nodded: "These documents are indeed of great value, but their spellcasting logic conflicts quite a bit with wand spellcasting, and they will probably need a lot of adjustments."

“Yes, Minerva,” Dumbledore nodded. “So my idea is that you, Basilda, Philius, and I will first sort out the core theories in these manuscripts, remove the unsuitable parts, and then use the remaining material as an aid to develop a small number of high-achieving wizards.”

The professors were now focused on this entirely new knowledge they had never encountered before, so naturally they had no objections.

“Since everyone agrees, let’s keep this data within the school for closed research,” Dumbledore decided. “Also, given the current situation, this matter should not be disclosed to the outside world. I will handle it.”

There must be someone in the Ministry of Magic keeping an eye on Raz's movements over the past month, since Sirius Black has indeed spent money to secure a location on the banks of the Thames for over a month.

However, as long as the matter of the other world is not revealed, even if the people in the Ministry of Magic rack their brains, they will never be able to guess in this direction.

At most, they would think that Ryze had found a secret magical ruin there. As for the spoils inside, they would just show some of the plants and minerals that Ryze brought back later.

The professors naturally nodded in agreement once again.

Afterwards, Sprout and Snape left the office with the suitcases, intending to arrange them during their lunch break.

After arranging to meet with Ritz in the afternoon, Professor Barbling also took some of the manuscripts back to her office to study them.

Professor McGonagall and Flitwick divided the remaining manuscript among themselves, and then the office door was completely closed.

After all, the four people left in the house knew exactly where Ritz had gone this summer, and the two of them started asking about the details of Ritz's trip.

Ryze briefly explained the situation in Runeterra, and both Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick couldn't help but sigh as they listened.

“A world where magic is completely open, and has even become a tool for one country to invade other countries, is truly… unimaginable,” Professor Flitwick sighed and shook his head.

In contrast, although the wizarding world has experienced several upheavals in this century, their impact has indeed been limited to the wizarding world and has not had much effect on ordinary people.

Professor McGonagall, upon learning that Ryze had personally participated in a war in another world, couldn't help but look somewhat worried.

However, since Dumbledore hadn't said anything, she naturally wouldn't show it directly either.
