The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 299 Andy: A Genius Like Me

There are subtle differences in the feeling between apparating yourself and apparating others.

Speaking of which, we have to mention follower reveal.

In the magical world, underage children are required to learn Apparition—a very simple spell. Its main purpose is to allow those who cannot Apparate to Apparate alongside the Apparition.

That is, the part where you "appear" after teleporting.

To teleport someone, you need to fill both of their bodies with the thought "I want to go there," then turn around and enter the tube that "travels through space" together.

Andy originally thought that this "tube" was a spatial channel, or in scientific terms, a gap between quantum mechanics.

However, the result of this spell told Andy that the truth was clearly not like that.

When using Apparition, the so-called "feeling of entering a tube" is actually composed of magic. This time, Apparating with Isabel made Andy clearly realize this.

To fill your body with the thought "I want to go there" is to fill your body with magic.

These magical powers have been influenced by mental forces, so when the magic takes effect, that's when the Apparition spell succeeds.

Goals, determination, composure: the 3D principles of Apparition.

The so-called determination and composure are precisely to prevent other thoughts from affecting the success of the spell.

"Traversing space is just an illusion; the real explanation is that we're rapidly passing through space," Andy thought to himself.

Like a ray of light.

"No wonder it's called 'Phantom,' that's a very accurate term."

Apparition is not a magic that allows one to travel through space. Instead, it involves becoming a phantom like light, moving at the speed of a phantom, and then reappearing.

"is that so?"

Andy was a little unsure, but that was how he felt when he cast the spell this time.

There is no theory on this topic in the book.

However, one thing Andy was certain of was that the instant the magic took effect, Isabel's body had transformed from a physical entity into a phantom.

"If that's the case..."

Andy's heart skipped a beat. "The Apparition spell might actually have room for modification!"

The first key to Apparition is to infuse your entire body with the desire to "go there" along with magic.

So... what if we change our mindset to something else?

Or, when thinking reaches a certain speed, is it possible to reach the state of "I'll go as far as my thoughts can take me"?

Andy frowned slightly.

In essence, Apparition cannot perform ultra-long-distance displacement; doing so would be very risky.

"Is it because a physical body can't remain as a phantom for long?" Andy guessed.

"If my analysis is correct."

"Then the true steps of Apparition should be: first, infuse your whole body with your will and magic, and then turn your body into an apparition to perform ultra-high-speed displacement."

"The feeling of being 'stuffed into a tube' that you experience during this process is actually just the magic protecting itself. Or rather, it's just a feeling during displacement."

Andy pondered for a long time.

The newly proposed viewpoints still require extensive practical testing to be verified, but fortunately, the theory of "mind control magic" is not wrong.

So all Andy needs to do is practice a lot, especially Apparition over very long distances—that way, he'll get a clearer feel for it.

After organizing the theoretical foundation, Andy began formal practice.

I hadn't thought much of it before, but when Andy realized that Apparition wasn't a magic trick for traveling through space, the feeling became clearer and clearer.

……

Snapped!

Snapped!

In the courtyard, Andy used Apparition twice in quick succession.

"It's a success!" Andy exclaimed with delight.

Now that he understands the essence of magic, making some modifications based on that foundation is not difficult for Andy at this point.

The talent of [Spellcasting: 7] is no joke.

Moreover, Andy's "spirit" and "thinking" are not low.

"Isa—" Andy shouted.

"Coming, coming!" Upon hearing the sound, Isabel rushed out in a flurry.

"Andy, you were looking for me?" the little girl asked cheerfully.

The service attitude changed immediately after I bought snacks.

"Isa, do me a favor."

"No problem, leave it to me!"

Andy said, "Pick up two stones and throw them at me later."

"Huh?" Isabel was taken aback.

Andy explained, "I want to try using Apparition to dodge attacks. Don't worry, it won't hurt me."

Isabel stammered, "No... I mean, why don't we use snowballs?"

It snowed just two days ago.

Andy: "..."

"I'm afraid your hands will get cold," Andy said.

The little girl raised her hands to show off her gloves.

Andy's expression changed.

Isabel quickly made two snowballs and held them in her hands, looking at Andy and saying, "I'm going to throw them away!"

"Come on! Hurry up," Andy said.

Whoosh!

Andy seized the opportunity and used Apparition the instant the snowball was about to hit him.

Snapped!

Andy appeared on the other side of the yard.

Whoosh!

Another snowball flew towards Andy.

Andy didn't rush to cast a spell either. Instead, he used Apparition the instant the snowball was about to hit him.

"call--"

Andy let out a breath.

Using Apparition repeatedly felt really bad.

I checked myself and found no signs of being hit by snowballs.

Andy asked, "Isa, did the snowball fly over there, or did it move with me?"

"It flew over!" Isabel said, pointing to the spot where she had been hit by the snowball.

Andy turned his head and his face lit up with joy.

"It's a success!"

"Next, all I need to do is practice casting a spell to attack the target the instant I become visible, and then I can truly utilize Apparition in combat," Andy said happily.

"Also... your Apparition seems to be a little faster this time than before," Isabel continued.

"Really?" Although it was a question, Andy wasn't surprised at all.

Having understood the nature of Apparition, Andy immediately adjusted his spellcasting.

Both "I want to go there" and "turn around" can be accomplished through imagination. As long as you practice repeatedly and become familiar with this way of thinking, you can improve your spellcasting speed.

However, there are actually two more steps involved in the actual casting of the spell.

I felt my body become ethereal, and I moved with ease.

Nothingness and movement are the true processes of phantom teleportation.

Once you understand this, increasing your spellcasting speed becomes quite easy.

Psychological suggestion.

Or perhaps it's a fixed mindset.

Especially when Apparating at short distances, as soon as his eyes see it and he has the idea of ​​Apparition, Andy's first step is the third one.

I feel like my body is becoming empty.

Because the eyes have already identified the target they want to move to.
