A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 311: Dangerous ancient magic
, update the latest chapter of a certain Hogwarts rune professor as soon as possible!
In the Rune Club, the little wizards sat relaxedly on sofas of all sizes, chatting enthusiastically and discussing what they would do during the holidays.
"I will definitely go to the World Cup... I will visit relatives with my family. My uncle raised a monster with a high raised back and a pair of long horns..."
In the corner of the sofa, Hermione whispered, "I guess he's talking about horned camels. They are usually distributed in mountainous areas. They are purple all over and have a very aggressive personality——"
"Oh, Hermione, we're all done," said Ron.
"This is not the content of the exam—"
"I know, you were just so excited because Mr. Newt Scamander wrote you back, so you found all his materials and memorized them." Ron said.
Harry couldn't help laughing, and Hermione gave them a smug look.
Harry plays with a heptagonal Muggle coin, and Professor Happer tells him that he can only Apparate outside the Room of Requirement when the entire coin turns a dazzling gold, but it is still incomplete A corner that Harry had been hoping to fill before the holidays.
Ron glanced at the coin enviously. When he was practicing with Harry, he also tried a few times, but he never succeeded. He always had a wish to learn this magic before the twins, and then Take a good laugh at them.
"Harry, are you sure about the date of Professor Lupine's farewell party?" Ron asked.
"The day after tomorrow," said Harry, "is a small dinner with some professors... and us."
"That's weird," said Ron, "I thought Snape would turn him into—ouch!" Harry stomped on him in panic, and he came to his senses, "I mean, Esnay Pu's attitude towards Professor Lupine, he certainly doesn't mind revealing his secrets..."
Hermione said: "Professor Snape knew it a long time ago, he knew it from the beginning, and he couldn't do it."
"I mean—"
Harry said thoughtfully, "Maybe he was embarrassed, and Professor Lupine helped him, right? He doesn't know the Patronus Charm." Having said that, he still couldn't be sure that the Was the silver light seen on Snape's wand his own illusion?
Or, is that just magic that has nothing to do with the Patronus Charm?
At this time, Professor Haipu came over, holding a shallow stone basin in his hand, and the little wizards looked around curiously.
"This is... a Pensieve?" A sixth-grade student exclaimed, excitedly saying, "Professor, is this a Pensieve?"
"It's just an imitation." Felix said with a smile. He conveniently placed the stone basin on the small table so that everyone could see it clearly. "We'll use it later."
In the gray stone basin, there are some silver substances, which look like liquefied clouds, or molten silver, slowly rotating.
Harry remembered that in the first ancient runes class, the professor had introduced this ancient magical creation, which could store and observe memories. He thought of his unnamed book, and couldn't help guessing, maybe it had a similar effect?
Felix sat down, smiled and looked at everyone, "Many people know that I will teach you an ancient magic in the last part of the school year. I am very happy to see that you have all mastered it. runes."
"Illumination - I named it myself. Originally, I only thought it could be used for lighting, but I found out some time ago that it also has a strong restraint effect on dark creatures, and can also dispel the dark fog caused by magic... ...In short, it is a good magic, which can be classified as defensive magic.”
As he spoke, Felix pronounced a strange syllable, and grabbed his fingers forward. He deliberately slowed down the process to make everything traceable. The little wizards scratched their necks and looked around, for fear of missing a detail. .
Ancient magic texts appeared out of thin air one after another, as if they had always been there, but they were invisible before. They are smaller than the tip of a little finger. These ancient runes overlap each other to form a complicated pattern. In the next second, milky white light ripples and blooms from the professor's fingertips.
"I just demonstrated the process of casting a spell, not its power. In fact, it is difficult for you to assess the upper limit of this magic." Felix said with a smile: "But I don't think anyone will be bored enough to consume it." Do your best—"
He suddenly stopped, because more than one little wizard was eager to try, he helped his forehead, well, he was thinking about it, for him, this is a boring thing, but for the little wizard, It's pretty fun entertainment.
So he warned again: "Although this magic is safe enough, the biggest danger is the discomfort after draining the magic power, but that feeling is very uncomfortable. I can only say that if you pass out, you will do it for yourself." I'm glad."
The professor's serious attitude made the students restrained a little, and Felix continued: "It is powerful and difficult to control. This is the characteristic of ancient magic, but why is it like this? Has anyone thought about it?"
The members of the club chattered and discussed. After more than half a year, they are no longer novices in ancient runes. When it comes to practical runes, they are the strongest group of people in the magic world.
Although in Felix's view, it's still very weak.
"Because it takes a lot of mana?"
"Obviously not, I guess it's when the rune is gathered into a pattern, and if it makes a mistake, it will explode."
Draco Malfoy suddenly said: "My father said that ancient magic is very evil. Once formed, it has its own thoughts, and it will extract the magic power and even life of the caster..."
The voice of the discussion weakened, and everyone looked at him with shrinking eyes.
Felix clapped his hands, "Well, Malfoy, to some extent, I can't say you are wrong, this involves a question, how can we master an ancient magic..."
"First, the first step is to master all the ancient runes corresponding to magic, preferably at the level of proficiency, that is, to master the magic symbols of the runes themselves;"
Manic texts appeared in the air in front of him. These magical texts took various forms and then disappeared without a sound.
"Taking the lighting technique as an example, there is only one core, which means light, and six sub-core runes, representing its different characteristics; outside, there are seventeen less important runes."
Felix showed all these runes, and everyone present has mastered them, at least the seven core runes have reached the level of proficiency.
"The second step is to combine the runes in a specific order. In ancient times, this was the biggest secret of a wizard, and it would not be revealed easily unless it was a close relative..."
"The reason is very simple. The amount of magic mastered by the wizards at that time was not much, and they were often similar. Once leaked, it was easy to be targeted by the enemy."
"To complete this step, although it is not easy, it is not difficult. The best way is to practice a lot. Except for some remote ancient magic, this step is not very dangerous, especially what we are going to talk about today Lighting."
Hermione kept nodding at the side, and her practice process was relatively smooth. Even if the rune sequence collapsed, it would just turn into pure magic power——every time she finished her practice, she would write down her specific experience, which she kept turning over every day. look.
"Finally, we have come to the key point, where the characteristics of ancient magic are fully reflected - shaping."
Felix glanced around and watched with satisfaction that all the students were listening intently. He continued: "The form of ancient magic is not fixed. For the same magic, some people use it as a fire phoenix, while others use it as a fire bird. , salamanders, fire crabs..."
He gave an exaggerated example, and the little wizards laughed lowly.
"The first half of Malfoy's sentence is correct. Once ancient magic is formed, it seems to have its own thoughts. It will instinctively draw the magic power of the caster and strengthen itself, just like a greedy monster. At this time, you must You must have enough ability to control your own magic power to resist this suction;”
"In addition, ancient magic has no fixed form, so you have to let it obey your orders and operate according to your will... How much magic power do you want to invest? How long will it last? What form will it become? Strengthen it Which traits? How do you get it to end?"
Felix asked a series of questions and waited quietly for a few seconds. He spread his hands and said, "Unfortunately, there are no fixed answers to these questions. You can judge by yourself."
"So once you learn powerful attack magic, you can imagine what will happen if it gets out of control."
Harry followed the professor's train of thought and imagined it. If it was an ancient fire magic, it would be better to say that it didn't take shape. Devour yourself...
"Fortunately—" Felix raised the volume, waking up a group of little wizards who had fallen into terrible hallucinations, "The lighting technique you want to learn is not dangerous, at least you don't have to worry about being burned to ashes by the flames, being poisoned." The mist corroded into pus, and was split into a mummified corpse by lightning..."
The little wizards all stared wide-eyed. They really didn't get much comfort from the professor.
"Does anyone know what this tells us?"
One of the twins muttered, "Don't let it take shape ~IndoMTL.com~ That's right," Felix gave him an approving look, and Fred opened his mouth as he babbled.
"Don't let your ancient magic take shape easily, repeat the second step until you feel very proficient, and then you can continue to try the next step."
"Each of you will be tested before leaving school, and I will also write to your parents to explain the situation and strictly prohibit private practice. Even draining the magic power is a stupid act, understand?"
The little wizards were silent, the professor had never been so strict, and they kept nodding their heads.
"Very well, you have about a week to initially master the lighting technique," Felix pointed to the stone basin, "use it."
Felix stood up and looked around: "Who wants to be the first to go in? Although it is an imitation, I retain some features of the Pensieve. The way to enter is a bit like diving. I personally think it is very interesting." .”
