Chapter 311 Dangerous Ancient Magic
In the Magic Wen Club, the little wizards sat relaxed on sofas, chatting enthusiastically, discussing what they wanted to do during the holidays.
"I'll definitely go to the World Cup...I'll also visit relatives with my family. My uncle has a monster with a high bulge of spine and a pair of long horns..."
On the corner of the sofa, Hermione whispered: "I guess he is talking about horned camel beasts. They are usually distributed in the mountains, with purple all over their bodies and very aggressive personalities."
"Oh, Hermione, we're all finished the exam," Ron said.
“This is not the exam content”
"I know, you were so excited that you couldn't control yourself because Mr. Newt Scarmand replied to you, so you found all his information to memorize it," said Ron.
Harry couldn't help laughing, and Hermione glared at them in shame.
Harry was playing with a heptagonal muggle coin. Professor Happ told him that only when the entire coin turned into dazzling gold can he use the phantom shape outside the house if he wished, but it still had a corner left, and Harry had always hoped to fill it before the holiday.
Ron glanced at the coin enviously. He tried several times while practicing with Harry, but he never succeeded. He always had a wish to learn this magic before the twins and then laugh at them.
"Harry, what day is Professor Lupin's farewell party? Are you sure?" Ron asked.
"The day after tomorrow," said Harry, "is just a small dinner, some professors... and us."
"It's strange," said Ron. "I thought Snape would make him ouch!" Harry stomped him in panic, and he woke up. "I mean, with Snape's attitude towards Professor Lupin, he certainly doesn't mind revealing his secret..."
Hermione said: "Professor Snape knew it long ago, and he knew from the beginning that he didn't have to do this."
“I mean”
Harry said thoughtfully: "Maybe he is embarrassed, Professor Lupin has helped him, right? He doesn't know how to guard the spell." Although he said so, he still couldn't determine whether the silver light he saw on Snape's wand that day was his illusion.
Or, is that just a magic that has nothing to do with the patron saint?
At this time, Professor Haip came over, holding a shallow stone basin in his hand, and the little wizards watched curiously.
"Is this... a meditation pot?" a sixth-grade student shouted and said excitedly: "Professor, is this a meditation pot?"
"It's just a copy," Felix said with a smile, and he put the stone basin on the low table so that everyone can see clearly, "We'll use it later."
In the gray stone basin, some silver substances were filled, which looked like liquefied clouds or melted silver, slowly rotating.
Harry remembered that in the first ancient magical class, the professor introduced this ancient magical creation, which can store and observe memories. When he thought of his nameless book, he couldn't help but guess, perhaps it was a similar effect?
Felix sat down and looked at everyone with a smile, "Many people know that I will teach you an ancient magic in the last period of the school year. I am very happy to see that you all have mastered the magic texts you want to use."
"I named the lighting technique myself. I originally thought it could be used for lighting, but I discovered a while ago that it also has a considerable effect on dark creatures and can also dispel the dark fog caused by magic... In short, it is a good magic and can be classified as the category of defensive magic."
As he said that, Felix read out the strange syllables and grabbed his fingers forward. He deliberately slowed down the process and made everything traceable. The little wizards pulled their necks and looked around, afraid of missing a detail.
Ancient magical literature appeared out of nowhere, as if they were there all the time, but they were invisible before. They were smaller than the tip of the little finger. These ancient magical literatures overlapped with each other, forming a complex pattern. The next second, a milky white light rippled, blooming from the professor's fingertips.
"I just demonstrated the process of casting, not showing its power. In fact, it's hard to assess the upper limit of this magic." Felix said with a smile: "But I don't think anyone will be bored to exhaust the magic."
He suddenly stopped because more than one little wizard was eager to try, so he held his forehead. Well, he was thinking a little bit out of his mind. For him, this was boring, but for the little wizard, it was quite interesting entertainment.
So he warned again: "Although this magic is safe enough, the biggest danger is just the discomfort after draining the magic, but the feeling is very uncomfortable. I can only say that if you faint, you will feel glad for yourself."
The professor's serious attitude made the students slightly restrained, and Felix continued: "It is powerful and difficult to control. This is the characteristic of ancient magic, but why is this? Has anyone ever thought about it?"
The members of the club discussed it in a slight manner. After more than half a year, they were no longer novices in ancient magic literature. When it comes to practical magic literature, they are one of the strongest people in the magic world.
Although in Felix's opinion, it's still very weak.
"Because it takes a lot of magic?"
"Obviously not. I guess it's when the magic texts gather into patterns, they will explode if they make mistakes."
Draco Malfoy suddenly spoke: "My father said that ancient magic was very evil. Once it was formed, it had its own thoughts. It would extract the magic power of the caster, even life..."
The discussion weakened, and everyone looked at him with a winceful look.
Felix clapped his hands, "Well, Malfoy, to some extent, I can't say you're wrong. This involves a question, how can we master an ancient magic..."
"First, the first step is to master all the ancient magic texts corresponding to magic, and it is best to reach the level of mastery, that is, master the magic symbols of the magic text itself;"
Demonic texts appeared in the air in front of him, and these demonic cultures took various forms and then disappeared silently.
"Take lighting as an example, there is only one core, meaning light, and the sub-core magic texts are six, representing its different characteristics; outside, there are seventeen less important magic texts."
Felix showed all these magical texts, and everyone present mastered them. At least the seven magical texts at the core have reached the level of mastery.
"The second step is that we must combine the magic texts in a specific order. In ancient times, this was a wizard's biggest secret, and unless they are closest relatives, they will not be easily disclosed..."
"The reason is very simple. At that time, the wizards mastered not much magic, and they are often similar. Once it is leaked, they are easily targeted by the enemy."
"It is not easy to complete this step, but not difficult. The best way is to practice a lot. Except for some remote ancient magic, this step is not very dangerous, especially the lighting technique we are going to talk about today."
Hermione kept nodding, and her practice process was relatively smooth. Even if the magic text sequence collapsed, it would just turn into pure magic power. Every time she finished her practice, she would write down her specific experience and keep reading it on weekdays.
"In the end, we have reached the key point, and the characteristics of ancient magic are also reflected here to fully shape the shape."
Felix glanced around and looked at all the students with satisfaction and listened with concentration. He continued: "The form of ancient magic is not fixed. The same magic is used by some people as fire phoenixes, some people as firebirds, salamanders, and fire crabs..."
He gave an exaggerated example and the little wizards burst into laughter.
"Malfoy's first half is right. Once ancient magic takes shape, it seems to have its own thoughts. It will instinctively extract the magic of the caster and strengthen itself, just like a greedy monster. At this time, you must have enough ability to control your magic to fight this suction force;"
"Apart from that, ancient magic has no fixed form, so you have to make it follow your orders and operate according to your will... How much magic do you want to invest? How long does it last? What form is it? What traits are strengthened? How to make it end?"
Felix asked a series of questions and waited quietly for a few seconds. He spread his hands and said, "I'm sorry, there is no fixed answer to all of these, it depends on you to judge them 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 idea and imagined that if it was an ancient flame-like magic, it would be fine if it was not formed. Once he was lucky enough to successfully use it, he could not control it and was drained from his magic. He probably could only watch the magic swallow him...
"But fortunately," Felix raised his voice and woke up the little wizards who were trapped in terrible hallucinations. "The lighting technique you want to learn is not dangerous. At least you don't have to worry about being burned into ashes by flames, corroded into pus by poisonous fog, and split into mummy by lightning..."
The little wizards all widened their eyes, and they really didn't get much comfort from the professor.
"Does anyone know what revelation this brings to us?"
One of the twins muttered, “Don’t let it take shape.”
"That's right," Felix glanced at him with approval, and Fred opened his mouth wide, and he said casually.
"Don't let your ancient magic take shape easily, and repeat the second step until you feel very skilled before you can continue to try the next step."
"Each of you must undergo a test before leaving school. I will also write to your parents to explain the situation and strictly prohibit private practice. Even if you drain your magic, it is a stupid behavior. Do you understand?"
The little wizards were silent. The professors had never been so strict. Their chickens kept nodding.
"Very good, you have about a week to master the lighting technique," Felix pointed to the stone basin, "with it."
