  Chapter 142 "The Complete Explanation of Magic"

"The Complete Explanation of Magic" is a very strange book. The first few pages talk about the traceability of magic. It talks about the magic of house elves, the magic of goblins, and even the magic of wizards. However, the magic system of the three Completely different and not universal.

  He, the author of "The Complete Solution to Magic", believes that the magical power of wizards comes from the inheritance of blood...

But in fact, in Albert's eyes, the unknown author of this book is actually confused, because he didn't say anything clearly on this pile of obscure and dry words …

  Perhaps, the author of this book wanted to hide something, but such a record is meaningless now, even if someone accidentally interprets the so-called truth?

Then what?

  Will you believe me?

  Can you believe it?

   At least, Albert himself didn't believe it.

  The magic of magic is not achieved through spells, but by will, which is idealism.

  Whether you use spells, wands, or gestures, they actually just strengthen the process of casting spells, allowing wizards to control magic more finely and strengthen the power of magic.

As far as Albert knows, Tom, that is, Voldemort, was able to do this before he entered school, but he only distorted reality with his will to achieve the effect of magic. Ancient wizard.

  Although they realize that they use spells, gestures, and wands to enhance their power, these wizards still stay in the destructive, more prominent, or other scary areas in terms of concept.

  Rough and direct, but it is undeniable that those magics are powerful, difficult to use, even harsh conditions, and sometimes easy to lose control.

  Fiendfyre is the best example of this, this ancient dark art is still a favorite spell of many dark wizards, although they rarely use it.

  Use with caution, you will never be a wizard engulfed by your own fiendish flames... Lin Yan, a black wizard who died tragically.

  Fiendfyre is called Devil's Flame for no reason, the magic can easily get out of hand, and the caster is often the first victim.

  Compared with ancient times, those dangerous magics are disappearing, replaced by more sophisticated magics, known from the evolution of the unlocking spell, from tearing down doors, kicking doors, to opening doors.

  The magic has become more refined, and its power is also much smaller.

  The Luminous Charm was invented by Levina Monkstanley in the 18th century. Before that, wizards used probably eternal fire: Gublai Fairy Fire.

   As we all know, Gublai Immortal Fire is a very advanced magic, because only a few wizards can do it.

  Actually, in the records of Albert finding limited ancient magic, he discovered the spell of Gublai Immortal Fire. It is not unreasonable that it is considered to be a rather advanced magic.

  The spells used by Gublai Immortal Fire are runes. Before casting the spells, a handle needs to be made. There are usually some ancient runes engraved on the handle, which are its spells.

  Yes, the spell of the ancient Blaine fire, the wizards carved it on the handle to strengthen the power of magic and ensure that the flame can burn forever.

  When he saw these, Albert felt as if he had caught something, his eyes fell on his wooden bracelet, and he continued to read.

   "The Complete Explanation of Magic" doesn't mention the rune script. Maybe the wizards of that era used this kind of script, so it's not difficult to understand that there is no record.

  However, the content of this book still confused Albert.

   At least, he read most of it, and there are not many parts that he can really understand. It is not that there is a problem with the translation, but that he feels the distance between the two parties. Perhaps it is more appropriate to describe it as a generation gap.

  It actually took Albert a long time to finish reading this book. By the time he turned the last page, the time had quietly come to April.

  McDougal's second part of the manuscript is about to be revised and has entered the final revision stage. To be honest, it was faster than Albert expected.

   Albert once asked McDougal, would anyone buy such a book?

Because even Professors Albert and Broad couldn't fully understand, how many of these books can really understand, and the answer given by this famous wizard is: Obscure Books has agreed to help publish this book. book.

  Later, Professor Broad privately told Albert that the entire printing cost of the book was paid for by McDougal himself. The famous wizard has never been short of money, and the price of this book is very expensive. Obviously, he did not expect to sell it to ordinary wizards from the beginning.

   After listening to Albert, he felt very speechless. What else could he say about the thoughts of rich people?

   "How do you feel about the manuscript for the third part?" Professor Broad asked after putting away the manuscript that Albert handed over.

"It's hard, it's harder than the first and second parts, and it's even more difficult to understand." Albert laughed at himself, "The third part of the manuscript has already involved the use of runes to cast spells, but it's a pity that Huo Gewartz has few students who can read it."

  Even if a student can get an O in the ancient rune examination, they probably have to find a rune dictionary to translate sentence by sentence when reading this book.

  The starting point is too high.

  However, Albert saw something else, and McDougal took a few ancient spells to analyze.

   One of these is the Patronus Charm, one of the most famous and powerful defensive spells known to wizards.

   Records of the Patronus Charm can be found on ancient woodcuts or scrolls. Ancient wizards used this spell very early, but there is no doubt that this is an extremely complicated and difficult spell to cast.

   It is said that those wizards who can summon physical patron saints are often elected as members of the wizard council.

   Up to now, the Patronus Charm has undergone some changes. It has been translated into a vocabulary more suitable for wizards today. It is said that the power has also decreased slightly, but Albert thinks that is nonsense.

   To successfully use the Patronus Charm, the caster must focus on recalling the happiest memory they can think of. The more pleasant the memory, the stronger the spell.

It was difficult for wizards in the past to summon patron saints. Most of them had something to do with the era they lived in. It was not a happy era. The Dark Middle Ages was not for nothing. If there were not enough happy memories as a support, the summoned patron saint would not Will not be strong enough to maintain even a physical body.

   Moreover, most wizards of that era were somewhat related to dark wizards. If they used too much black magic, their minds would be somewhat affected.

   Albert tried to use the Patronus Charm, but this time he did not fail, but the wand only emitted a thin mist.

   As for trying to cast a spell with ancient runes, the wand didn't respond directly.

  According to Professor Broad, he pronounced the wrong spell, or pronounced the wrong tone.
