Hogwarts Wizarding Journey

It's been a long time since that impressive Defense Against the Dark Arts lesson.

After that day, Hermione has been in a bad mood.

This also caused a great obstacle to her learning the Patronus Charm.

Moreover, Hermione refused to tell Bell what the fake 'Bell' had said that day.

After several inquiries to no avail, Bell had no choice but to give up the plan of continuing to pester.

He tried many ways to make Hermione happy. Unfortunately, the results were not significant.

Later, it was thanks to Zannah who came up with the wonderful method of fighting fire with fire (Bell's perspective) that she was able to get rid of her depression and became full of fighting spirit again.

It is worth mentioning that Hermione can now successfully cast the White Mist. As long as she practices more frequently, I believe it won't be long before she can completely master the Patronus Charm.

"Master, I have prepared the two Boggarts you asked me to prepare for you."

After previously confirming that Boggarts could strengthen themselves by absorbing the emotion of fear, Bell became interested in this magical black magic creature.

In Bell's opinion, perhaps studying the Boggart's characteristics could help him improve his patron saint.

After all, many of the magic spells used by wizards were developed based on the characteristics of magical creatures.

"I understand. Just put them in the suitcase first, and I'll take a look at them in the evening."

After giving a casual instruction, Bell continued to read the book in his hand.

At this time, he was rarely alone, sitting on the grass outside Hogwarts Castle.

Hermione went to find Zannah to practice the Patronus Charm. After so many days of communication, the two got to know each other a lot, which made Bell very happy.

The weather today is very good. The sunshine is warm, the breeze is blowing, and combined with the faint sound of play in the distance, it makes people feel very comfortable.

What Bell is reading now is a Chinese Taoist book called "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Illustrations", which is exactly one of the many books he bought from China before.

Books of this type are almost impossible to find in the British wizarding world, which extremely rejects black magic.

Therefore, when he first saw this book, Bell was deeply attracted by the theories in it.

Facts have proved that Bell's previous decision to travel to China and Japan was a very wise one.

For example, these books have provided huge help to Bell now.

After such a long period of observation and research, Bell has basically figured out why his patron saint mutated.

As we all know, the core of the Patronus Charm is the idea of ​​'protection' and the emotion of 'happiness'.

But when Bell cast the Patronus Charm before, his heart was filled with strong 'murderous intent' and 'anger'.

Thanks to the Occlumency technique that he has been working hard to study, even at that time, when Bell wanted to crush the dementor to ashes, he was still able to successfully generate 'protection' and 'happiness' in his mind 'These two emotions are necessary for the Patronus Charm.

In the end, these four emotions unexpectedly reached a delicate balance, and coupled with anger, Bell's full output of a large amount of magic power successfully caused the mutation of the patron saint.

And this is exactly in line with the monks’ Tai Chi Yin and Yang theory.

Among them, 'protection' is the yang eye, 'killing intention' is the yin eye, 'happiness' is the yang sign, and 'anger' is the yin sign.

It can be said that the birth of Qiongqi is full of surprises.

All this time, Bell has been unable to summon the patron saint because his happy mood is not strong enough.

And the emotion of anger just fills this void.

If Bell had successfully mastered the Patronus Charm from the beginning, perhaps Qiongqi would never have been born.

After figuring out the principle, it is only a matter of time before we can reproduce this mutated Patronus Charm.

However, Bell was not satisfied with this.

It is too difficult to produce four opposing emotions in oneself at the same time, and to control their proportions accurately! It also takes too long!

It is also prone to schizophrenia.

To a modern wizard, a spell that takes 10 seconds to cast has no value.

Of course, if you spend a lot of time and carry out special training, you should be able to do it instantly.

But Bell wouldn't do that.

If you have the time to practice a simple spell, the benefits you will get will definitely far exceed that of training a mutated Patronus Charm.

Just when Bell regretfully considered whether he should give up his Qiongqi, the memory he had previously obtained from a kind-hearted Onmyoji provided him with a new way of thinking.

Because of the self-balance in the body, Qiongqi's structure is very stable. Without fighting, the magic power in its body dissipates very slowly.

In this case, why not treat Qiongqi as an independent individual and sign a shikigami contract with him?

Bell is no longer unfamiliar with shikigami, especially the knowledge about artificial shikigami.

When he made the Crazy Bear and Ten Thousand Snakes, he applied the related concepts of artificial shikigami to improve their controllability.

After his ideas were opened, the more Bell thought about it, the more feasible it became.

Unlike ordinary shikigami or artificial shikigami, Qiongqi is completely composed of Bell's emotions and magic power, so its compatibility with Bell can be said to be 100%.

Moreover, after signing the shikigami contract and fostering Qiongqi in his body, because the magic powers of Bell and Qiongqi are completely from the same source, a magic circle can be formed between Qiongqi and Bell. Bell does not need to spend any extra money at all.

The magic power can maintain Qiongqi's existence.

Even under certain special circumstances, Bell can receive feedback from Qiongqi to enhance his own magic power.

For example, after Qiongqi devoured the Soul Eater, Bell found that Qiongqi's body became more solid.

Although the degree is minimal, it is better than nothing.

Of course, compared to other normal shikigami, Qiongqi is not without its shortcomings.

For example, Bell cannot cast spells through Qiongqi like other Onmyoji.

Because strictly speaking, Qiongqi is not an independent individual that grows naturally. Therefore, if Bell injects irrelevant thoughts into Qiongqi's body, it is likely to disrupt the balance in Qiongqi's body, causing it to dissipate directly.

All of the above are reasonable inferences made by Bell based on his own knowledge.

Although it has not been confirmed in practice, judging from Bell's experience in studying magic for so many years, it is basically close to ten.

Therefore, what Bell needs to do now is to polish the details, further improve the theory, and refine the operation.

Thinking of this, Bell took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, and once again concentrated on reading the "Tai Chi Yin and Yang Illustration" in his hand.
