Hogwarts: I'm Harry's older cousin

Chapter 330, Section 328: Dudley's First Time.

In the Fate world, magic is usually called magic, but the magic in that world is something like rules, or you could call it a miracle.

Mystic Codes, as the name suggests, are tools used by spellcasters, possessing functions that assist them in casting spells, and do not refer to clothing in general. They are broadly categorized into offensive, defensive, and support types. Offensive and defensive types are self-explanatory. Support-type Mystic Codes mostly possess functions such as amplifying magic power, replenishing mana, or allowing spells to be cast with less mana, or using more mana than one's limit.

Similar to alchemical products in the Wizarding World, but not exactly the same.

Mystic Codes in the Fate world are geared towards combat.

While alchemical artifacts in the wizarding world are magical, they are rarely related to combat. Examples include the Hogwarts Sorting Hat, which grants independent thinking; the Ravenclaw common room pull ring, which allows for a constant stream of unique questions; the Gryffindor sword, which appears to possess antimagic properties; the Ravenclaw tiara, which increases intelligence when worn; the Resurrection Stone, which can falsely resurrect the dead; and the Invisibility Cloak, which grants invisibility so great that even Death cannot detect it.

In terms of sheer wonder (mystery), it definitely surpasses most Mystic Codes; in the world of Fate, perhaps only Noble Phantasms can rival it. But as for its combat effectiveness...

Even Gryffindor himself rarely used his greatsword in battle. He usually defeated his opponents with magic first, and only used the Gryffindor sword in very rare and necessary circumstances. Judging from the condition of the sword, it was clear that it had hardly ever been used in battle.

The only thing that could be strongly linked to combat is probably the magic wand.

The best one is the Elder Wand in Dumbledore's hand.

According to the legend of the Three Deadly Holy Relics, wizards who wield the Elder Wand are invincible. While there is some exaggeration involved, it is certain that the Elder Wand can increase the spell power of its wielder.

This fits the definition of Mystic Code as both offensive and support types.

However, these are not the main points. The key issue is that Dudley had already obtained something similar to alchemy, such as magical armor modification, and also acquired alchemy from Fullmetal Alchemist, as well as learning alchemy from the Wizarding World. Now, he has been given a Mystic Code to create.

With all these stacks of buffs piling up, are they really planning to let me handcraft a Gundam (scratch that) Lightbringer or Dragon Warrior at Hogwarts?

Or are you suggesting creating a belt that can transform you into a Kamen Rider?

Before, they gave me either Ripple Qi Gong or Iron Mountain Lean. Later, they gave me a bunch of fist techniques, and even the Cosmic Beast Fist.

Then there's the Fantastic Beasts language and the Fantastic Beasts taming technique.

Is this a game where I can play a fighter, druid, and puppeteer all at once?

Imagine Dudley's fighting style

First, send out the baby to bite. If the baby can't beat it, then bring out the Gundam. When the opponent finally manages to dismantle the Gundam after much effort, the main body that emerges is even stronger than the Gundam.

Who would want this kind of fighting style?

Hmm... thinking about it carefully, it's not impossible.

But Dudley still wanted the image of a mysterious and unpredictable sorcerer, flying through the air, standing with his hands behind his back, looking down on all living beings, high above, with the Titan's Arrow (magic) in his left hand and the Thunder Bomb (magic) in his right, able to unleash a rain of meteors and fire with a flick of his finger, a spellcaster capable of destroying the world.

Although I appear to be quite extraordinary to outsiders, I am by no means mysterious or unpredictable; I am perceived as extraordinary only on a physical level.

I can create similar effects now, but those are all secondary to other abilities, not true magic.

"I have a bit of a headache."

"I always feel like something's missing."

Dali put down the crucible filled with silver liquid, rubbed his temples, and relieved the fatigue in his brain.

Although the methods of alchemy differ in each world, they all share the same fundamental principles and many aspects are actually interconnected.

The reason he was tired was simply because this was Dudley's first time making a magical costume; he didn't want to just make any old one, but rather one with excellent performance.

He chose a magical costume named Moon Spirit Essence Liquid.

It features automatic attack (the attack method is whip-like slashing), automatic target acquisition (the target acquisition method is sensing air fluctuations and heat sources), and automatic defense (the defense methods are membrane defense and pillar defense).

Overall, while Moon Essence Liquid may not be the best Mystic Code, its functions are quite comprehensive and its versatility is wide.

Its initial form was created by one of the twelve families, El-Melloi, and is the Mystic Code used by Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald in the Fourth Holy Grail War (the lemon-headed character in Fate/Zero).

Subsequently, because the Moon Essence Fluid was too automated and easily detected by experienced magicians, El-Melloi II (Wave) and Reines El-Melloi Archizorti, the rightful heir of El-Melloi, improved upon the original design by adding a virtual personality to this automatically tracking, attacking, and defending Mystic Code. This persona existed as a mercury maid with a certain degree of self-awareness (intelligence), greatly increasing the Mystic Code's adaptability.

The second human form is still somewhat difficult for Dudley at the moment. It's not enough to just use a Mystic Code; he needs a certain foundation in the magic of the Fate world. As of now, he hasn't drawn the magic of that world, so he can't do it. Coincidentally, Dudley doesn't really like his tools turning into human form either.

He didn't mind his tools having self-awareness, but the idea of ​​them transforming into human form and existing as maids seemed like a perverse sense of humor; he just couldn't get it.

A tool is a tool, not a stress reliever. Why bother with all those fancy features?

And everything has to be feminized, can't we just make it masculine? Can't muscular men give you a sense of security?

So Dudley decisively chose the first option, but what he wanted was not to copy Kenneth's costume, but to improve upon it.

He attempted to incorporate all four methods he knew, utilizing the excellent extensibility and plasticity of the Moon Spirit Essence to create a magical costume with endless variations.

And that's where the difficulty lies.

The research hadn't made much progress after more than a month, and before we knew it, the holiday was here.

Incidentally, the Moon Spirit Essence Liquid is carried by a 140-kilogram container of mercury, so moving it when not in use is also a problem.

Fortunately, the Unseen Stretch Charm in the Wizarding World can perfectly solve this problem. Adding the Unseen Stretch Charm to a small test tube not only allows you to easily fill an entire bottle of Moon Essence Liquid, but also adds no weight.

Don't ask, the answer is the magical effect of alchemy.
