From Kamal Taj to Hogwarts
Chapter 287 What is the essence of magic
As we all know, magic is an adjective.
For Muggles on the scientific side, magic is a miracle that is unimaginable, so Muggles in the country use "magic" to express extreme amazement and incredible meaning.
However, for wizards in the magical world, magic is just something they are accustomed to. On the contrary, it is the science of the Muggle world that makes them amazed. Few people can imagine that the Muggle world, a world without magic, can be like this. Convenient and so colorful!
Although most wizards maintain a backward mentality similar to a closed country due to the influence of the "International Federation of Wizards' Statute of Secrecy", and maintain a condescending or even contemptuous mentality towards Muggles, the more they understand the Muggle world On the contrary, the wizards who have become more aware of the wonders of scientific knowledge in the Muggle world.
This is the case with Nicolas Flamel, the most famous and knowledgeable alchemist in history for centuries. After learning about Muggle scientific knowledge, he was often amazed and spent a long time studying it. and analysis, and even integrated scientific knowledge into his own alchemical works.
In addition, many genuine Muggle studies experts in the magical world were very impressed after they gained a certain understanding of science, and wrote various phenomena into Muggle studies textbooks, but they were always ignored by young wizards. That’s all.
It can be said that both magic and science are miracles born in this world. One is the power of idealism, and the other is the power of materialism. However, the two may not have nothing in common with each other.
For example, this eternal space, although on the surface it is a magical place belonging to the eternal god, the life and death of many universes seen in it are repeated, and the shadow of science can also be seen.
"So, Xiaowen, don't look at magic with a limited perspective." Gu Yi said. "Everything in the universe is interconnected, all existences are entangled with each other, and nothing exists independently."
"But when I wanted to use scientific knowledge to learn magic in today's world, I encountered setbacks." Xiwen told the ancient wizard the first time he learned transfiguration and asked. "Dumbledore Tell me, magic is the power of belief, the power of learning to choose to let go.”
Gu Yi stroked his white beard and revealed an enigmatic smile.
"Xiaowen, what do you think the essence of magic is?" he asked.
Xiwen was startled for a moment, vaguely feeling that this issue seemed to have been discussed with Dumbledore.
Dumbledore once told him, 'The real miraculous power of magic lies not in life, nor in combat. It is its most important and basic characteristic - turning into all things!'
In a daze, Xiwen felt that he had really had the illusion of transforming into all things. That was the illusion that occurred when the magic power was enhanced to a certain extent.
Transform into all things, that is, use magic to achieve a state of omnipotence!
"The essence of magic...is to transform into all things?" He looked at his teacher and asked softly.
"Oh? Is this also the knowledge you have learned in this world?" Gu Yi asked curiously.
"That's not true. Professor Dumbledore told me to transform into all things." Sivan shook his head.
Ancient One glanced at him with great interest, nodded and said, "The Professor Dumbledore of your world seems to be really great and can have a huge influence on you."
"In my opinion, there is some truth in transforming into all things, but what he wants to tell you should not be the essence of magic, but just a characteristic of magic. When the strength reaches a certain level, it will indeed
You can use magic to build the world as you like; but the same is true for science. When science and technology are perfected to a certain level, you can naturally use science to build the world as you like."
Xiwen frowned and asked, "So what is the essence of magic?"
"Xiaowen, let me ask you, what do you think is magic?" Gu Yi asked with a smile.
"In my opinion, magic is a unique power that exists in the world and can help us do many things that are difficult to achieve." Xiwen thought for a moment and replied. "Whether it is in Kama Taj or in
In today’s world, magic is a force maintained by magic power.”
"So that's how you understand it?" Gu Yi slowly took two steps forward, looked into Xiwen's eyes at close range, and asked. "Do you think that either you can use the wand in your hand to cast a spell, or
Does it count as using magic if you use the hanging ring to open a dimensional door?"
"I think it's more than that." Xiwen shook his head and said. "There are many aspects of magic, such as potions and herbal medicine, all of which require magic to maintain. The same is true in Kama Taj, it is difficult for us to break away from it.
Magic power or mana to complete a magic."
"So that's it. Do you think magic must be maintained by magic power?" Gu Yi asked with a chuckle.
Xiwen nodded.
"Then let me ask you, is a magic book that does not contain any magic or magic power considered magic or science? Or is it Muggle Studies and History of Magic that you studied at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which you mentioned?
Since they themselves do not contain any magic power, are they considered magic or science?"
"This..." Xiwen froze on the spot, looking at Gu Yi with a slightly confused look on his face.
"These things should be considered magic. After all, the records are all about magic. For example, the history of magic and Muggle studies cannot appear in the Muggle world. They are unique to the magic world, so they should be counted.
Within the realm of magic."
"So what is the magical world and what is the Muggle world?" Ancient One asked next.
"The area where wizards live is called the magical world, and the area without traces of magic is called the Muggle world." Sivan answered calmly this time.
"So there won't be any Muggle things in the magical world? Then there won't be any wizards you call born in the Muggle world?"
"The two cannot be generalized. The dividing line should be roughly within a certain range..."
"So how do we draw this range?"
"..."
Xiwen was confused by Master Gu Yi's series of questions. He now seriously suspected that his teacher was quarreling with him, but out of respect, he could not retaliate.
In addition, in Xiwen's impression, the former Supreme Mage shouldn't be so boring, and he should go all the way to drag himself to the eternal territory to argue...
So now Xiwen is very confused. Is the teacher giving him a lesson? If this is really the case, then what exactly does he want to say?
