Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Most of today's magic was invented after the eleventh century. What magic was like before that can only be glimpsed from some ancient magic, the representative of which is the Patronus Charm.

If you carefully study the Patronus Charm and the Disarming Spell, a representative of modern magic, you will find that there is a big difference between the two. The key to the Patronus Charm is emotion, which needs to be driven by the power of happiness, while the Disarming Charm is much more straightforward.

If you recite the right spell and wave the wand in a standard posture, it can be easily used.

One is a magic that all wizards can master, while the other is something that only a few people can master, and may even backfire on dark wizards who want to use the Patronus Spell. The reason is just because their hearts are dark and evil.

It can be said that ancient magic and modern magic are two completely different magic systems. The cores that drive their power are also completely different, and the difference in power is also very large. As for ancient magic, only one sea control technique has been passed down.

That exaggerated performance can no longer be called magic, but more like a miracle.

Standing on the edge of the Red Sea, surrounded by crowds of people having fun, the camera shutters clicked loudly, and everyone was taking photos.

Ike hid his figure, carrying his suitcase and walking quietly among the crowd. After a while, he walked far away. There were fewer and fewer people, until there was no one left.

The current Red Sea is still prosperous, but only in those developed areas. The rest is still barren. Ships occasionally sail by, but only occasionally.

Ike waved his wand gently, and invisible ripples rippled toward the sea, looking for possible remaining traces of magic.

He knows very well that this hope is slim. No matter how powerful Moses' sea control skills were back then, it is unlikely that traces will be left after such a long time. After all, the situation here is different from the Tower of Babel.

, the Tower of Babel was once a gathering place for ancient wizards, and a lot of magic was cast and solidified on it. However, Moses just used a magic to lead people across the sea and that was it. The two are not the same.

But there is always a glimmer of hope. Ike can also control the sea. This magic requires the user to continuously transfer magic power after it is released. But like Moses who separated the entire Red Sea, he still had to wait for all the people who followed him to cross.

However, the magic power consumed must be unimaginably huge.

Even now, maintaining the effect of a magic for a long time will leave some traces, let alone sea control?

It's just that time has changed and the sea has changed, so it is very difficult to accurately find the place where Moses divided the sea.

One day passed, Ike walked south to the Bab el-Mandeb Strait but found nothing. He turned north again, and this time finally found some clues not far from Suez.

The magic he used to look for abnormalities was a magic commonly used by wizards to explore ruins. Some of them are like bats using ultrasonic waves to find their way. The magic spreads out and is reflected back after touching the magic wave. Although he can't know exactly what magic it is, it can be more or less.

Let me remind you. To be more specific, this was the invention of the curse breakers at Gringotts. These are the only people in the wizarding world who are still keen on exploring various ruins.

The feedback from the magic power to Ike was very strange, like an intermittent wall. Some had completely collapsed, while others were just holes. The same feeling occurred in another place more than a hundred meters to the north.

A mixed feeling.

"Found it..."

Ike sighed and waved his wand again. This time, the exploration was more careful. It was two sections of tattered magic walls that were more than 200 kilometers long. The highest point was nearly 400 meters from the sea, almost touching the bottom of the sea.

.

Without hesitation, he threw the suitcase on the ground, put on a Bubble Charm, and jumped directly into the sea between the two walls. He went straight down, and with the soft white light emitted from the tip of the staff, he could barely see the situation on the bottom of the sea clearly.

The wall is invisible, you can touch it but not see it, but under the light, you can still see clearly that the sea water will change obviously when it passes here, just like the protruding stones in the stream, which cannot stop the water.

But it can deform it.

Subconsciously, he swung the wand straight down in his hand, and the magic power was released from the tip of the wand crazily, forcing a waterless space of more than ten meters square on the bottom of the sea.

It was completely different from the feeling in the Black Lake. Using the sea control technique on the bottom of the sea consumes a lot of money. Ike tried his best and could only push it open for more than 30 meters. The sea water was surging all the time, and the huge pressure made his whole body feel numb.

The muscles are trembling.

Suddenly! The two incomplete sections of the wall reacted and resonated with Ike's magic. The waterless space slowly expanded until it was close to the wall.

At the moment of coincidence, the flowing seawater seemed to stop. At the same time, the top of the waterless space expanded rapidly, rising more than a hundred meters in the blink of an eye. But at the same time, the walls on both sides were also visible to the naked eye.

It disintegrated at a rapid speed, and its width continued to shrink, until finally it was only about half a meter left.

Ike silently retracted his wand, stretched out his hand to touch the sea water in front of him, which seemed to be blocked by an invisible barrier, and passed through it easily. He opened his fingers and a white ball of light appeared.

Turn around and walk towards the now long and narrow wall in the south. Take back your hand that is still in the sea water. Under the light, the wall emits brilliant colors. The hand holding the wand falls on it. Close your eyes and feel the changes on it carefully.

Unknowingly, the level of sea control skills on the Waste Notebook system also increased rapidly, and soon reached the level of lv6.

But that’s where it ends.

"It's still a little bit worse..."

Ike sighed, retracting his hand from the wall, with a trace of regret and helplessness in his eyes.

Moses was really powerful beyond imagination back then. His sea control technique not only separated the Red Sea into a channel that was 100 meters wide and hundreds of kilometers long, but also solidified both sides of the channel. That power was being destroyed by the sea water.

After being washed away for thousands of years, there are still some residues left, and they can even resonate with Ike's sea control skills.

This kind of thing, which no one would believe if told, actually happened in front of Ike.

Very unmagical, yet very magical.

Sighing again, Ike waved his wand, and the Bubble Curse fell, and the waterless zone quickly shrank until it completely disappeared. He moved the wand again, and his body quickly rushed upwards. After a while, he rushed out of the sea and landed lightly on the shore.

side.

He moved his fingers slightly, and his body became dry under the influence of magic. With another move, the suitcase originally left on the shore flew over and landed at his feet.

Grabbing his hair, Ike suddenly waved his wand and threw an explosive spell forward. The red light flashed past, but was blocked by a purple shield, although strictly speaking, they were more like suppressing each other.

.

"Wizard, tell me your origins!"

A dozen wizards wearing turbans and white robes appeared, some with wands and others with empty hands. They were very serious, surrounding Ike vaguely, and the vigilance and hostility in their eyes were undisguised.

One of the older wizards took a step forward. He was not wearing a turban, and his robes were more gorgeous. His white beard and hair formed a strong contrast with his dark complexion.

He glanced at the turbulent sea water behind Ike and asked: "Do you know what you just did, young wizard? You destroyed an ancient miracle."

Ike tilted his head and waved his wand back. The seawater behind him instantly split to both sides, revealing the rugged seabed. It spread hundreds of meters deep before stopping. If he moved again, the seawater split immediately.

Together, a long and narrow water column rose into the sky and then fell hard. The sea water it raised was like rain, soaking a large area of ​​land.

Shrugging, Ike had a smile on his face.

"so what?"
