The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 285 Combination Magic Acquired!

As Andy thought of it, a red light shone from the fat cat guardian, which then crashed into a humanoid target not far away.

Without a sound, the human-shaped target shattered into dust.

Andy raised an eyebrow. "The power of the Shattering Curse seems to have increased quite a bit!"

In terms of spells alone, [Mind] can enhance the power of spells, [Willpower] can strengthen the power of [Mind], and [Thought] can increase the activity level of [Mind].

The Guardian Charm is a fusion of mind and magic. For the Guardian Charm, [Willpower] can enhance its cohesion, thereby increasing its power.

For Andy, the improvement in his "mindset" allows him to more quickly mobilize the power of his mind, that is, his emotions, to amplify the spell.

The enhancement of [Willpower] allows Andy to solidify this emotion.

In addition, increasing [Willpower] can offset the side effects of magic, especially the mental side effects.

In other words, Andy is now able to begin studying black magic.

Andy was very satisfied.

You can also gain [Potential Points] by improving your dark magic.

Moreover, this is a completely unexplored area. Studying dark magic will allow Andy to acquire [Potential Points] more quickly and efficiently.

With magical transformations temporarily on hold, studying black magic is undoubtedly a new way out.

"Um……"

Andy pondered for a moment.

Learning combination magic requires a large accumulation of knowledge and profound wisdom.

In other words, it's about adding a bit of [thinking].

"So from now on, I'll focus my skill point allocation on [Mindset], [Willpower], and [Dark Magic]!" Andy thought to himself.

Especially black magic...

The choice of words reveals that we usually say "learn magic" rather than "study magic," but when it comes to black magic, we use the phrase "study black magic."

That's because most black magic involves the study of humanity itself; the process of learning black magic is a process of exploring humanity itself.

A killing curse that takes away lives.

The Soul-Stealing Curse that controls the soul.

And the Heart-Piercing Curse, which inflicts mental suffering.

The three unforgivable curses are byproducts of ancient dark wizards' research into life, soul, and mind.

This is the unique charm of black magic.

However, it is precisely because black magic is a study of human beings that it has such a great influence on humanity.

After adding dark magic to his study list, Andy continued to research combination magic.

After all, Andy only has two points of talent in [Dark Magic], so even if he wants to learn it, he'll have to wait until he adds more points.

Otherwise, it will only be a case of getting twice the result with half the effort.

……

An hour passed quickly.

As Andy used magic time and again, and quietly observed the changes when magic power transformed into magic, his understanding of magic became increasingly profound.

Magic is just a form of energy; the amount of magic only represents the quantity of that energy, nothing more.

Magic, on the other hand, is a form of interference by the mind with the material world through the energy of magic.

Therefore, the idea of ​​"mind control magic" is not wrong.

However, once the magic power stabilizes, we'll need to use a little trick to invoke it if we want to use it again.

This means of invoking magical power is magic.

But in essence, it is still the power of the mind that wields magic.

"First, use mental power to mobilize magic, and then guide mental power out through magic to interfere with the material world and form magic."

It is precisely because of this extra step that magic becomes a fixed procedure, rather than something that grants one's wishes.

"Restored to its original state!"

Andy recited the incantation, and the shattered target was restored to its original state by magic.

Throughout this process, Andy remained focused on sensing the changes in the magic.

When Andy used the "Restore to Normal" spell to manipulate magic, the magic was already tainted by this state. Therefore, magic in this state can only be used with "Restore to Normal".

In contrast, the magic surge eliminates the need to mobilize magic. In a state of unstable magic, powerful mental forces can directly interfere with the outside world through magic.

The most important thing is... the wand!

Andy now relies entirely on his wand to channel the magic within him.

"I see!" Andy realized.

Andy improved the Guardian Charm, making the mind and magic more aligned, which is why he could cast spells silently.

However, to achieve wandless spellcasting, one needs to allow magic to interfere with the external world. Alternatively, one could, like Dumbledore, forcefully cast spells without a wand using profound magical skills.

"It seems that to master combination magic, one must either multitask or force a combination... there is no third way."

Andy chose the second option.

First, abandon the power of magic and cast a spell with minimal effort, then use powerful mental strength to apply a second spell.

Thus, the combination of magic is completed.

Five points in the [Mind] attribute isn't particularly high, but Andy has an advantage—thanks to the improved Guardian Charm, Andy's mind and magic are extremely well-matched.

This gives Andy the prerequisite for completing the combination magic.

"call--"

Taking a deep breath, Andy prepared to make his first attempt.

First, unleash a silent barrage of attacks, then...

"Grow bigger quickly!" Andy chanted the spell loudly.

As Andy waved his wand, six golden birds the size of swallows appeared beside him.

"It is indeed a bit bigger." Andy's face lit up with joy.

Although this is still far from the ideal combination of magic, it is a good start.

Once Andy becomes proficient in this combination method, he will be able to cast spells at a faster speed and even apply this combination magic to actual combat.

However, this combination of magic only applies to Andy for the time being.

The improved Guardian Charm allows Andy's mind and magic to be perfectly aligned, which is why Andy can use his own mental power to forcibly add a second magic to a first one.

If magic is likened to water, then casting a barrage of bullets is like brewing coffee with water, and casting an expansion spell is like brewing tea leaves with water.

The "combination magic" involves brewing coffee and tea together.

Although this is just a metaphor, the principle is similar.

Andy was able to combine the two spells before casting the first one because his mind and magic were extremely compatible, and because the first spell had very little power.

That's why Andy was able to forcefully combine the two types of magic together using his mental power.

Of course, keen thinking and strong will also play a significant role in this.

Mind, thoughts, will...

But in any case, Andy has already achieved initial success.

"So next, it's time to get used to the process," Andy thought to himself.
