Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

After the conversation with William and Elena on Christmas night, Bell no longer cared about these things. He believed that his parents could do better than himself.

Bell focused on spending time with his sister at home. As for William's subsequent requests to take Bell to banquets, Bell basically refused. Only for some important banquets that he couldn't avoid, Bell would take Shanna to attend.

Unconsciously, more than half a year has passed since the Christmas party. Although Bell is busy playing with his sister every day, during his free time, he will work hard to learn magic knowledge and practice casting spells.

After such a long period of study and thinking, Bell also had his own understanding of magic and spells.

Bell has seen a question in many magic books: 'What is the nature of magic?'

Many powerful wizards have thought deeply about this question, but no one has ever come up with a clear answer.

Bell was very puzzled by this. It was such a simple question, why did they think so complicated? What else could the essence of magic be?

Suppose someone asks you: 'What is the nature of human beings?'

So of course the answer cannot be 'repeat machine', let alone 'really fragrant'.

To answer this question, just hand the other person a mirror and look at it yourself. What? Can’t understand? Then give up the treatment. The brain is not a good thing. As long as you give up it, you can change it.

Very happy.

Therefore, the essence of magic is, of course, ‘magic’! Or we can put it in a more detailed way: it is a kind of... power called ‘magic’!

Wizards are humans who control this power.

In Bell's view, the so-called wizards are different from the general magicians introduced in the novels and anime he had read in his previous life. And the magic power is also different from the magic power used by magicians in the general sense.

Spiritual power, elemental power or arcane power.

If we insist on finding a power with similar properties from Bell's memory, maybe we can say that magic is closer to...the Force?

When Bell uses magic, he does not need to build any magic model, nor does he need to communicate with external elements and other energy. He does not even need to consciously mobilize the magic power in his body.

All he needs to do is to clarify his thoughts, strengthen his beliefs, and transfer them to the magic power in his body. Then the magic power will respond to his request and achieve it.

This is also the reason why many spells require the wizard to have corresponding strong emotions when casting them.

For example, take Transfiguration. It can be said that Transfiguration is the earliest, simplest and most complex magic that wizards come into contact with. In the first chapter of the Transfiguration textbook for first-year students at Hogwarts, the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration", all

The content of the story is how to turn a match into a needle.

It is obviously unrealistic to expect a group of 11-year-old wizards to analyze the structure of wood, sulfur, metal, etc. and transform them. So how do they achieve transformation?

Bell didn't know either, but it had just changed.

Casting the transformation spell is actually very simple. As long as you have the concept of "needle" in your mind, and recall this concept while casting the transformation spell, you can transform the match.

However, there is no guarantee whether it will be successful. And even if the transformation is successful, the transformation speed will be very slow. As for the final needle transformed, its material cannot be guaranteed, and even the needle transformed twice may be different.

shape and material.

If you want to improve the success rate of transformation and speed up the transformation, you must have a more detailed understanding of the concept of 'needle'.

Find a needle at random, touch it, lick it, take a look, and prick yourself twice.

As long as it is pierced deep enough, the success rate and speed of transformation are guaranteed to be greatly improved. This is because the ideas received by the magic power become more accurate.

Of course, the best way to improve the transformation technique is to use magic power to analyze the structure and properties of the 'needle', and firmly imprint the results of the analysis in your mind. In that case, you can guarantee that you can transform a complete needle in an instant.

The exact same needle comes.

However, this is not simple. At least at Bell's current level, even if it is just a small 'needle', he cannot fully analyze it, and further rigorous training is needed.

In Bell's rough understanding: 'The learning of transfiguration is an analysis of the world; and the learning of spells is a reference to the experiences and lessons summed up by predecessors.' Therefore, if a wizard wants to become powerful, he must continue to practice

Use magic.

At the same time, Bell also discovered the reason why wizards must use wands to cast spells: 'The magic power can only receive the wizard's thoughts in the wizard's body'.

If the magic power wants to fulfill the wizard's wish, it must undergo changes in form and nature. For example, if the wizard wants to summon flames, then the magic power must change in nature based on the wizard's understanding of the concept of 'fire'. And this process must

It has to be done inside the wizard's body.

Wizards are not fire dragons, and the consequences of flames in the body are obviously not wonderful. So wizards need wands to help cast spells.

The wand can be regarded as an extension of the wizard's body. The wizard can transfer the transformation process that should be carried out in the body to the wand, so that many magics can be successfully cast.

In order to perform wandless spellcasting, at least one of the following two conditions must be met.

First, powerful magic control.

Even if the magic power is transformed within the body, it can still avoid harming the body by relying on precise control of the magic power.

Second, a strong body.

The power here does not refer to strength, agility, etc., but to the tolerance of magic and the power of adaptability.

As the wizard continues to use magic, the magic power will continue to flow in the body. The flowing magic power will passively strengthen the wizard's body. When this strengthening accumulates to a certain extent, even if the magic power is transformed in the body, it will not

No more harm to the body.

Due to his experiences in the past few years, Bell's control over magic power has surpassed that of most wizards, and he only needs to continue training every day. Therefore, Bell sets his goal on physical strengthening. Passive strengthening is too slow.

Too passive, he decided to actively promote magic power to strengthen the body, and this will also be his main research direction in the future.

"Brother...brother..."

Little Zannah's call interrupted Bell's thoughts.

The brother and sister were staying in Shanna's room. Bell was sitting on the floor reading a book, and Shanna leaned quietly on Bell's body and played with dolls obediently. This has become their daily routine, and everything looks so warm.

.

"What's wrong? Zannah?"

Bell rubbed Zannah's head lovingly, not minding that her thoughts were interrupted at all.

"The little bear's head fell off."

Shanna pouted and handed the teddy bear to her brother.

Bell took the teddy bear. The teddy bear's head looked like it had been accidentally twisted off.

Picking up his wand, Bell used his silent spellcasting skills to cast a repair spell, put the teddy bear's head back on, and handed it back to Zannah.
