Hogwarts Card System

  Chapter 52 Level 0 spells and school stay

  The study of magic must be from easy to difficult, especially the magic system of DND is quite different from the magic world.

  So Ted thinks to start with 0-level spells.

  In the spell book of the third-ring red-robed wizard, the 0-ring spells are:

  Mage Hand, Restoration, Darkness, Glue, Arcane Mark, Prestige, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Message, Freezing Ray.

  It’s like a communication technique. I have already developed a similar ability through psionic power, so I don’t need it.

  Adhesion also has a similar magic in the magic world, called "Permanent Paste Curse", which is even stronger than this effect.

  Some wizards with profound magical powers and proficient spells cast spells, which can make two things stick together for tens or hundreds of years, just like growing together by nature, which cannot be removed by ordinary magic.

  Repair is also compared with the repair spell. The 0-ring repair can only repair some simple small damages, while the repair spell can even restore things that have been broken into pieces. Complete victory!

  The rest is the unique effect, and there will be no magic with similar effect in the magic world for a while.

  The hand of a mage can use magic power to form an invisible magic hand. The specific effect depends on the proficiency of the spell and the strength of the magic power. It is a very practical and necessary spell for mages.

  Suppression of Light can turn a small area black, impenetrable to light.

  The arcane imprint is also a must for the caster. Everyone will form their own unique arcane imprint, which belongs to the "magic ID card".

   Detect Magic is used to detect magic effects.

  For example, if you find a magic item and don't know what the consequences will be, you can use this to detect it. It can also detect whether a certain place has been cast.

   Read magic can decipher magical writing on objects—books, scrolls, weapons, etc. This interpretation generally does not trigger the magic contained in the text.

  For example, there is a black magic book with a curse that makes you blind if you look at it. You can use read magic to see the real text on it without triggering the curse.

   Freezing ray can launch a frost ray, and the target hit will be frostbitten or even frozen.

   Belongs to the weakened version of Frostbolt? The penetrating power is lost, and the lethality is greatly reduced, but the effect of freezing is preserved. And casting is simple, only a simple word or a gesture is needed to cast a spell.

  Ted finally decided to start with "Frozen Ray".

  Because he is very proficient in freezing magic. After all, he has studied Frost Armor and Frostbolt successively. It should not be difficult to get Freezing Ray.

   Once there is a breakthrough and the research on the spellcasting mode of the spell slot is successful, it will be much easier to study other spells.

   The spell model of Freezing Ray is a very simple 3D model, mainly trying to use magic power to construct it, and how to activate it quickly without the magic net.

  Ted managed to cast the Freezing Ray after two days of trying, but it was far from successful. Because the casting time takes a full eight seconds, it has almost no use value.

  The next step is to streamline the steps, optimize the process of mana running and constructing the spell model.

  …

   In about five days, Ted completely cracked and "localized" the spell of freezing ray.

  Just stretch out your fingers, a simple scale "ice", and you don't even need a magic wand, you can shoot a blue-white ray with a range of up to seven meters, which can make a wooden pile form a thin layer of ice.

   In terms of actual combat value, it is really not great. But mostly it's a learning and cracking process.

  After Ted successfully cracked the freezing ray, he devoted himself to the cracking and development of other magic.

  The following secret seal and mage's hand only took four days!

   This feeling of learning and mastering magic is really addictive~

   But soon, his research was interrupted.

  Here comes his ghost friend.

   "Helena? Why are you here?!"

   Seeing Helena enter the abandoned classroom through the wall, Ted put down his wand.

   The last time I met Helena, it seemed to be the last time.

   Well, it's been two weeks. I was so absorbed in researching new magic that I completely forgot about it. sin sin.

Seeing the messy books and notes on the table in front of Ted, as well as the training dummy in the distance, Helena nodded slightly: "I have checked some of the materials left by my mother back then. Maybe my mother was indeed in the last stage of her life. What's down?"

   "Statue?" Ted asked.

   "Yes. Mother should have cast magic on her statue, a special kind of magic related to the mind and soul..." She carefully looked at Ted's expression, not letting go of a single bit.

  Actually, she had already found many clues a week ago, but she hesitated for several days before coming to Ted.

   This boy is excellent, understanding, intelligent and eager to learn. At the same time, it can also be seen that he is obsessed with magic.

   But this is also a problem for Helena.

  Because of the last similar boy, she really deceived her so much that she suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder.

  This is also the reason why many Ravenclaw students feel that the resident ghost, Ms. Gray, is unreasonable in the past thirty or forty years.

  At this time, she observed Ted carefully, because she was worried that she could see the ambition and fanaticism she had seen in his eyes.

   But for Ted, the thinking magic researched by Ms. Ravenclaw seems very interesting, but for me, there are completely different magical knowledge every month, so I don't particularly care about it.

   Not like Voldemort, who was afraid of death at a young age, and in order to avoid death, became obsessed with Horcrux magic.

   "So, Ms. Ravenclaw may have left you something in her statue?" Ted asked.

  Helena breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe, I don't know. I'm a little scared..."

  Her mood at this time included not only longing for her mother, but also guilt that she dared not face.

  The sentence "I'm sorry" that I haven't been able to say for a thousand years is so heavy.

  The two chatted for a long time, and finally decided to solve the mystery left by Ms. Ravenclaw to see what she left behind at the last moment of her life.

  Because there are almost constant people in the common room during the day, it is very inconvenient.

   Ted would hang out with Helena at night.

   For this reason, Ted even studied the 0-level spell "Detect Magic" in advance.

   But Ms. Ravenclaw's magic can be hidden in the statue for thousands of years, which has already explained the problem.

   This is not the kind of magic power + will = magic in a broad sense, but a completely different system.

   At least on the statues, there is no magic to check anymore except the magic that the castle provides to keep it clean and intact.

Helena said to Ted: "Mother, in the last few years, has begun to study some concepts raised from ancient magic. It is an area that no one has ever touched. Mother said it is about the mind and the soul. subject..."

  Helena took out a few notebooks written by Ms. Ravenclaw back then. Those thousand-year-old books were even written in Old English. Ted used "reading magic" to understand.

  The notes recorded some ideas and inspirations of Ravenclaw, did not mention the specific method and principle of casting spells, but mentioned many related effects.

  After reading it, Ted only understood that Ravenclaw had given up the route of magic spellcasting, and instead delved into the depths of the soul, about the power of thinking and will. But exactly what, and how to do it, I have no clue at all.

  Now, using psychic powers, he can vaguely feel a cloud of vague thoughts. Apart from this, no magic means can detect any abnormalities in the statue.

   Research has stagnated, and there is no way around it.

  Ted is only a first-year student after all, and he has almost no in-depth study of magic.

   It would be strange if he could untie it immediately.

  Helena also calmed down after being impatient for a day or two. Thousands of years have passed, and for a ghost like her, time is the least valuable. take it easy.

   Eye saw the middle of December.

  Professor McGonagall and the others began to hold a piece of parchment and register the list of students who stayed in school for the holidays.

   There is still one week before Christmas, and the deans of each college will write down the list of students who will stay in school and not go home for Christmas.

   It will be a holiday in a few days, and the Christmas holiday will last until the beginning of January, which lasts for half a month.

  Most students and teachers will "go home".

  Hermione persuaded Ted again: "Are you really not going to my house for Christmas?"

   Ted thanked again: "Thank you Hermione, if there is a chance in the future, I will go. This time I will go to school first!"

"Oh well!"

   Thanks for the 100 rewards from book friends "Mushroom Picker??" and "Tail Number 3713".

   Thank you both
