The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 236 The Magic of Mind Control

Try it and you'll die!

I will defeat him, I will defeat him, I will defeat him...

Andy kept telling himself to be competitive, and then, through a mental connection with the fat cat guardian, he transmitted his will to the fat cat guardian.

Disarming spell!

The fat cat guardian flew in a circle in the air, and a red light shone on its body again. Then, with a "do-or-die" attitude, it charged straight at Mr. Capon.

"amazing!"

Mr. Capon exclaimed in admiration, then held his wand up in front of him, creating a semi-transparent barrier to block the fat cat's attack.

boom!

The fat cat guardian was knocked away.

Andy was somewhat surprised; this old man was really quite impressive.

However, this is also a good opportunity to test the limits of the fat cat guardian.

Andy no longer hesitated and controlled the fat cat guardian to launch a continuous attack, experimenting with all sorts of magic.

Most of the time, Mr. Capone simply defended against the attacks of the fat cat guardian. Occasionally, he would launch a counter-spell at Andy, but it was always a weak and easily blocked by the fat cat guardian.

About five minutes later...

"Alright, Mr. Collins, you can stop now," Mr. Cabon said.

Andy nodded and waved his wand to dispel the fat cat's guardian spirit.

"No, no, no—"

Mr. Cabon looked as if he had encountered something terrifying; his face turned bright red, and he waved his hands frantically, shouting, "Just stop attacking! Quickly, call that cat out!"

Andy: "..."

OK!

Andy waved his wand and summoned the fat cat guardian spirit once again.

Mr. Cabon stared at the fat cat guardian with fascination. "Felius, it looks like a work of art, doesn't it? It's a perfect fusion of mind and magic."

"This is a miracle!"

"I always thought it was just a legend, but I never imagined that someone could actually do it."

Is this guy crazy?

Andy and Hermione exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of helplessness in each other's eyes.

"that……"

Andy asked, "Professor Flitwick, can my paper be published now?"

Andy was in a hurry to eat!

Mr. Carbone quickly replied, "Of course! Mr. Collins, your paper will definitely be published. And I guarantee you'll be on the front page of every newspaper for the next month."

Professor Flitwick chuckled and said, "Mr. Collins, don't worry, Carl is fascinated by spells. In his youth, he traveled to many places to explore ancient spells."

"If he weren't so old, he wouldn't be sitting in his office drinking coffee."

An ancient curse?

If that's what you're saying, then I'm not hungry anymore.

"Mr. Capon, have you seen a lot of ancient magic?" Andy asked politely, like a well-behaved child.

"Of course, of course I've seen it."

Mr. Capon said, "Mind and magic have always been important topics of study in any era. Your previous disarming spell used mental power, didn't it?"

"Of course!"

"Seeing your guardian spirit should tell you that your research into mental power has reached an extremely profound level."

Andy nodded, then asked, "Have you read my paper? I believe the Patronus Charm is magic invented by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus. Do you think my view is correct?"

Mr. Cabon: "..."

This is a bit awkward!

Generally, the review process for magazines is initially handled by regular editors, and then the editor-in-chief conducts further review.

So… Mr. Carbon didn’t see Andy’s paper; he only saw Professor Flitwick’s letter and then rushed to Hogwarts.

Because he believed that Professor Frivi wouldn't lie to him.

"Of course, your point of view is correct."

Mr. Cabon said without changing his expression, "When magic power is unstable, negative emotions suppress magical abilities, thus giving birth to the Obscurus, a dark parasitic magical power."

"That's a very powerful form of dark magic, so wizards would naturally study it."

"However, by the time we could use magic freely, our magic power had already stabilized completely, so those ancient wizards only developed the Guardian Charm."

Andy glanced at Mr. Cabon with some surprise.

This is the first time anyone has agreed with Andy's point of view. Even Professor Flitwick only thought that the view was somewhat plausible.

No! This is no longer an agreement; he has seen the same viewpoint elsewhere.

Seemingly sensing Andy's question, Mr. Cabon explained with a smile, "I've been to many ancient ruins, protected by magic... They're dangerous, but also very rewarding."

"As I have said before, the mind and magic are important research topics in any era."

At this point, Mr. Cabon glanced at Andy.

"As your silent spellcasting becomes more proficient, do you feel that you can unleash a certain spell whenever you want?"

"No incantations or specific gestures are needed; you can perform magic simply by 'thinking' about it?"

Hermione turned to look at Andy upon hearing this. Had Andy become that amazing?

Andy nodded.

Andy had this feeling long ago.

Spells and gestures are not necessary conditions for casting spells. The only real condition for casting spells is thought!

Professor Flitwick said, "Do you remember the times when you were kids and your magic exploded? Without wands or spells, you could do all sorts of amazing things."

"Learning magic is really just about rediscovering our innate ability to cast spells!"

Hermione asked her first question, "Professor, if learning magic is just about regaining our spellcasting instincts... then how did we lose them in the first place?"

Mr. Cabon said, "This brings us to the relationship between mind and magic."

At this point, Mr. Cabon glanced at Professor Frivi.

After all, Flitwick is the professor, and he can't steal Flitwick's thunder at a time like this.

"Karl, you say it!" Professor Frivi didn't care about such things.

"Oh well!"

Mr. Cabon explained, "Mind controls magic! When magic is unstable, mind and magic can merge more easily."

"And when the two are combined, we can use any magic at will."

"This is the explosion of magic!"

"When the magic gradually stabilizes, it becomes much harder for the mind to influence it. At this point, we need some other methods."

"For example... spells and gestures."

Simply put... the mind is the wind, and magic is the water. The wind can move the water, but it can't move ice.

Mr. Capon concluded by saying, "Of course, this is just a metaphor; you just need to understand the meaning."

Andy nodded; this was too easy to understand.

only……

"Mr. Capon, why do positive and negative emotions have different effects on magic?" Andy asked.
