A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 8 Ether?

There were already quite a few people sitting in the Charms classroom. Students from Slytherin and Ravenclaw houses sat on both sides, and the classroom was filled with humming conversations.

Owen found an empty seat and sat down, flipping through the charm notes he had recorded during his self-study over the years. In the thick black-shell notebook, rows of neat and beautiful fonts were densely arranged, and annotations were made in different colors and supplements.Blaise sat next to him, fiddling with a Galleon, trying to learn the tricks Owen had taught him.

Daphne sat behind them with Pansy who looked around as soon as they entered the classroom. Pansy was looking disappointed because he didn't see Malfoy coming, and Daphne was annoyed and funny.

The foursome of Harry and Malfoy found the classroom almost at a pinch, and everyone's eyes were cast on it in an instant.Malfoy raised his slender chin triumphantly, but Harry looked like a frost-beaten eggplant, silently found a seat and sat down, wishing he could bury his face in the Charms textbook.

When the class bell rang, Professor Flitwick, who was surprisingly small, walked into the classroom.He seemed to have struggled to climb onto the tall stack of books so that he could reach the desk, and then took out the roster and called names.After Harry's name was said, he let out an excited scream and fell out of sight behind the desk with his foot in the air.

Harry watched this scene calmly, as if he had lost all desire and pursuit, while Malfoy secretly covered his mouth and laughed.

"Well, Potter's unafraid look is really stable, and he looks very trustworthy... No, no, Pansy, how can you think so? Draco's unrestrained appearance is more charming..." Owen heard Pansy whispered behind him.

"Pansy, you don't need to say these words..." Daphne moaned, covering her cheeks with her hands, her fair forehead turned pink.

"Huh? Did I say it?" Pansy looked frightened, his face turned red, "Don't, I'm just joking!"

Owen couldn't help but look sideways for a moment, coughed lightly, and looked blankly at Professor Flitwick standing on the stack of books again.Blaise curled his lips in annoyance, and leaned against the back of the chair with his shoulders in his arms.

Blaise Zabini's mother was a famous beauty, perhaps a venomous beauty snake.She had been a widow six times, and each husband who died left her a large estate.Well, the present Mr. Zabini is her seventh husband, who is currently alive.

Perhaps because of the psychological shadow left by his mother since he was a child, Owen always felt that Blaise had an inexplicable misogyny.Although Blaise has always been very popular with girls, because of his excellent appearance inherited from his mother, even the dark brown complexion inherited from his father cannot hide that unique charm.

In fact, Owen has always suspected that Blaise's mother and son have Veela blood, but the two did not show the dominant characteristics of Veela mixed blood, such as silver hair and the like.

In the gap between thinking divergence, Professor Flitwick had already finished the roll call, and began to explain the magic spell learned today: the lighting spell.Owen listened carefully for a while, but didn't hear any new content outside of the textbook. After all, the Illuminating Charm is really a very basic and simple spell.

I have to say that Professor Flitwick's course arrangement is still very reasonable. After the students learn the Illuminating Curse, even if they are immediately expelled for some reason, they can turn to temper their bodies and practice martial arts, and go on to the next level smoothly. The orthodox wizard path of dual-wielding berserkers.Professor Flitwick is really well-intentioned.

Owen thought wildly with his eyes empty, and his thoughts directly entered the space facing the wall.He glanced at the lifeless rabbit squatting in the corner, didn't deal with it, directly copied his textbooks and notes, and began to practice the magic spells that he had already mastered the theoretical knowledge one by one.

From the most basic unlocking spells, cleaning spells, petrification spells, etc., to the advanced clear water like spring spells, flame spells, restoration spells, etc., and then to the flying spells, termination spells, and recovery spells that only students of higher grades can learn and master , as well as disarming spells and impeding spells that can be used in wizard duels...

After mastering the advanced knowledge of the theory of spells, from a high-level perspective, for Owen, what he lacked was just practicing step by step.

"Well, almost all of them can be released successfully, but they are not proficient enough and need more persistent practice." Owen evaluated the power and proficiency of his spell, "One month at most..."

In fact, it is not difficult for Owen to cast many spells. He only needs to pay attention to the pronunciation and pause of the spell, the gesture of waving the wand, and the concentration of attention to complete different spells.It's like solving a math problem. You only need to put in the formula step by step, list the formula, and you can solve the final result.

With the in-depth study of theoretical knowledge, wizards begin to understand the meaning of each "formula", learn more concise problem-solving skills and proficient mental arithmetic ability, and can gradually omit some steps, such as spells and gestures, so as to complete infinite Mantra cast.

Because of this, casting spells without spells requires more mental effort and often consumes more magic power, and it is difficult to achieve the original power of the spell.

And when a wizard has a deep understanding of the principle of a certain spell, or has knowledge that is profound enough to comprehend by analogy, he can greatly reduce the consumption of various spells, prolong the duration of the spell, and enhance the effect of the spell.

Knowledge is power. This sentence is an absolute truth in the field of magic, so Owen never stopped absorbing knowledge.

However, the more advanced the spell, the more it needs the emotional participation of the caster, such as the black magic represented by the three unforgivable curses, and the white magic represented by the Patronus spell.This is another field, and Owen hasn't started learning yet.

Fortunately, Owen has his own advantages.As a mature traveler, he discovered early on that his level of magic power was comparable to that of many adult wizards, so he was able to cast spells that he shouldn't have mastered at his age.

The magic power of a wizard is actually a very idealistic thing.

In this world, the magical power of wizards is obviously not the tangible power described in some novels Owen read in his previous life, at least he did not find any trace of magical power from his body.As long as the wizards can sustain their energy, they can release the spell all the time, and there is no problem of running out of magic power.

An advanced spell, as long as the wizard's magic power level meets the requirements and can be released successfully, then he can release more one after another without stopping until he is too mentally exhausted to concentrate.

Among the many materials that Owen has reviewed, wizards generally believe that the so-called magic power is the spiritual will of the wizard, and the strength of magic power is the strength of the wizard's mind.

Underage little wizards are still immature in body and mind. With the development of their brains and the continuous improvement of their will, their magic power is growing rapidly.Until adulthood, the growth of magic power will greatly slow down or even stagnate, and even go backwards.

It is also because of this that some wizards can often display strength beyond their own level in battle because of the explosion of will, while wizards who have no fighting spirit and flustered often lose their standards.

Of course, the wizard's outburst would not be too exaggerated, it probably just made the person concerned feel that he was in a good state at the time.Because it is not only the magic power that determines the upper limit of the wizard, but also the accumulation of knowledge by the wizard, and even the idea that determines the magic power of the wizard itself is different in strength and can be enhanced in some ways.These gaps cannot be filled by one explosion.

For example, the level of magic power of Dumbledore and Voldemort, their mind strength can be said to be far beyond the human category, and it is definitely not achieved by normal growth. They must have experienced some magic stimulation and transformation.In this process, knowledge, strength, talent, opportunity and luck are indispensable.

As a child with an adult mind, Owen's will is no worse than that of an adult wizard, but because his body, especially his brain, is immature, he may be slightly inferior in mental strength.

It is also because the magic power is too strong. When the magic power was not stable before the age of ten, Owen forcibly wanted to restrain the magic power to practice the magic spell, and the consequences were particularly serious, so that he left a little psychological shadow on himself...

"Magic power..." Owen practiced too many spells one after another, rubbed his temples a little tiredly, sat down at the desk he copied, and took out a new notebook.

Turning to the first page of the notebook, Owen thought for a moment, and wrote on it in a correct font:
"If the essence of magic power is the will of wizards..."

"Wizards use magic to use their own will to influence reality? Is the essence of magic to make wishes come true?"

"What kind of changes did the invisible will undergo during this process, and finally became a visible curse, which in turn has an impact on reality?"

"Where does the energy of the magic spell come from? Is there any third-party factor involved during this period that made the magic spell take shape smoothly?"

"Assuming that there is a medium that connects the wizard's will with the final form of the spell, can it be said that it is the cornerstone of the world's brilliant magic?"

Owen wrote here with an open mind, and suddenly shook his head and smiled: "I'm still a little wizard in the first grade, so I'm thinking too far, it's not a good habit to be so ambitious."

He carefully read the few lines he wrote, and before closing the notebook, he couldn't help but add another sentence: "If it really exists, you might as well call it 'ether' first." Interested in choosing a title that was once very mysterious in the history of science.

"Ether?" Owen circled it emphatically, and then closed the notebook.

"If you want to increase your magic power, you have to find a way to increase the strength of your thoughts... Well, magic deformation? Bloodline of magical creatures? Meditation?" Owen turned his mind to diverge, looked up at the space he was in, and suddenly laughed: "That's right, I don't have to worry about getting injured or dying in the wall-facing space, isn't it suitable for me to experiment on myself?"

He glanced at reality and found that the time was almost up.Before leaving, he glanced at the white mist writing in front of him.

[The connection point collection port has been launched, please prepare for collection. 】

The original "coming soon" launch has become "already" launch...

Owen's complexion changed, and he returned directly to reality.
