Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 6 The Essence of Magic

After seeing the owl off, Tierra lay back down on the bed.

Knowing that she was in the Harry Potter world and that there was another, safer, and more secure magical path, Tyella was no longer so eager for Merlin's dangerous and thorny path.

Moreover, with a teacher to guide you, why bother figuring things out on your own, only to accidentally lose another finger?

Tierra put her hands behind her head and began to daydream.

I wonder if Hogwarts is really like in the movies, where you don't know which house you'll be sorted into. What if I'm sorted into Gryffindor...?

I wonder if I'll run into the famous Harry Potter?

Harry Potter...

Harry...

what……

艹

This year is 1991, which is exactly the year Harry Potter enrolled in school. If this is truly Harry Potter's world, then he would definitely meet Harry this year.

The first-graders fought Voldemort for the Philosopher's Stone.

Second-grade Soul Weapon Fighting Snake Monster.

The third grade was a close call, but Sirius Black, the only one who seemed to be in danger, was actually a kind-hearted person.

Then in fourth grade... Voldemort was fully resurrected.

Fifth grade, the Death Eaters reunite.

In sixth grade, seventh grade... they began to openly and legitimately eliminate Muggle seeds.

Muggle seed...

He was 100% certain that Tiera's parents, both in this life and the previous one, were non-magical.

In other words, Tyrell is the purest Muggle species.

It couldn't be purer.

Thinking of this, Tiera jumped out of bed and sat back down at her desk.

I still have to learn it; I still have to learn this useless knowledge.

Tiera picked up her pen again and began to write and draw on another blank sheet of parchment, continuing to build the second spiritual wall.

This is a magic that Merlin developed in his later years to block the invasion of the Outer Gods. He used the Heris potion to enhance his mental power and then engraved this magic configuration into his mental dimension.

This mental wall has seven layers. Before drinking the Heris potion, Tiera had already completed the analysis of the first layer. The first to the third layer can only gradually deepen the connection between Tiera's mental and spiritual dimensions and strengthen her control over her magic.

The fourth to sixth levels can increase the spiritual dimension, which is the accumulation of magical power.

The seventh level requires the help of an Old One to bring about a qualitative change in one's spiritual and mental dimensions.

As for the construction of the magic model...

According to Merlin's notes and the descriptions in the Necronomicon's section on the principles of black magic, the essence of magic is dimension.

In a physical sense, three dimensions refer to the directions of space.

The three dimensions in a magical sense are the material dimension, the spiritual dimension, and the mental dimension. The material dimension is the traditional physical dimensions of length, width, height, and spatial direction.

The spiritual dimension is the source of a wizard's magic, which is what Hogwarts refers to as magical talent, and the spiritual root of a cultivator.

The spiritual dimension is the essence of the thinking of all intelligent life.

Wizards are three-dimensional beings, existing simultaneously in the material, spiritual, and mental dimensions.

The three dimensions of matter, spirituality, and mind are interconnected and influence each other.

Wizards typically need a wand and spells to use magic.

A wand is a product of the fusion of the material and spiritual dimensions, which helps wizards stabilize their magic and more easily unleash the power of the spiritual dimension.

Spells are simplified models of spells.

All magic that exists today is a simplification of ancient ritual magic.

Everything ritual magic does in the material dimension—shamanistic rituals, piling up stones, lighting bonfires, and even blood sacrifices—is to construct a magical model in the material world, thereby invoking the power of the spiritual dimension.

These rituals have been simplified step by step, and now most magic has become so simple that all it takes is to chant a spell and use a wand that can communicate with the spiritual dimension to cast a spell.

Of course, neither spells nor wands are necessary. As long as the wizard can accurately construct the magical model in the mental dimension, he can complete the spell without chanting a spell.

While other wizards opted for lengthy and complex ancient runes, Merlin chose a simpler method of construction—mathematics.

Merlin lived rationally on Earth for over seven hundred years, from the early 11th century to the late 18th century. During this long lifespan, Merlin encountered a genius named Newton.

From then on, Merlin changed all magical constructs to multivariable calculus...

Fortunately, Tiera was a science student in her previous life, and because of her postgraduate entrance exam, she hadn't completely forgotten advanced mathematics. Moreover, due to the limitations of Merlin's ancient thinking, all the magical constructs he provided were just some basic calculus constructs, plus a simplified version of ancient runic spells. The current learning was not too difficult for Tiera.

In recent years, Tiera has not only used it to build the first layer of her mental barrier. While studying Merlin's notes, she has also tried to construct several small spell models, such as the Flash Charm, the Fire Charm, the Healing Charm, and of course, the Levitation Charm that she uses to guide magic.

In the process of constructing these minor spells, Tiera also deepened her understanding of the entire three-dimensional theory of magic.

After all, although Merlin's notes were available, they were limited by the era in which he lived, and many of the descriptions left Tiera confused. Although the library had a large number of books, Tiera dared not browse through them indiscriminately. So far, she had only read the Necronomicon: the section on the principles of black magic and the section on the general principles of alchemy.

According to the Necronomicon's section on Dark Magic, the dimensions of a living being are not entirely immutable.

Two-dimensional beings can evolve into three-dimensional beings, and three-dimensional beings can also evolve into four-dimensional beings by acquiring the coordinates of a divine dimension.

The Muggles that wizards speak of are two-dimensional beings that exist only in the material and spiritual dimensions. They lack the spiritual dimension that serves as a source of magic and can influence both simultaneously. Therefore, Muggles cannot use magic, nor can they see magical creatures like Dementors that exist only in the spiritual and mental dimensions.

However, Dementors, through their spiritual dimension, can in turn drain the souls of Muggles.

For Muggles to gain magic is quite simple: they only need to construct a magical construct in both the material and spiritual dimensions, resonate with a mysterious being in the spiritual dimension, and then connect with that being to gain spiritual power.

This mysterious being could be a powerful demon, a pagan god, an extraordinary wizard, or even... a mad Outer God.

Of course, such spiritual connections are extremely dangerous. Powerful demons can seize the opportunity to possess your body and descend into the material dimension, heretical gods and wizards can turn you into a puppet, and the Outer Gods...

Tierra has already experienced it, and her left pinky finger still feels empty.

Tiera even suspected that she might actually be a Muggle, and that she only gained her spiritual dimension through a spiritual connection with the person behind the Seven Chapters of the Mysterious Lord.

After all, he had never received an admission letter from a magic academy in his previous life, and there were no unusual events in his memories of this life, such as magic bursts.
