From Hogwarts to Strixhaven.

Chapter 58 Malfoy's Invitation

"The magic power of the Dazzling Warlocks comes from the wildly surging waves of elemental magic. They are good at creating large-scale magical effects. Using elemental magic as a brush and the entire world as a painting, they will bring one elemental magic masterpiece after another to this world."

Ivy whispered the career introduction of the Dazzling Warlock. In the DND worldview, the Warlock is a spontaneous spellcaster, which means that all their magic is innate and deeply rooted in their blood and soul.

Unlike mages who have many prerequisites for casting magic, warlocks cast magic more like an instinct and an impulse. Although they can cast spells more flexibly, this also means that the spells they master are more limited than those of traditional mages. This is because the magic power in their bloodlines determines the types of magic they can cast.

However, this limitation is not a problem for Ivy, who has the [Perfect Part-time Job] feature. Before becoming a dazzling warlock, Ivy was already a qualified mage.

You want to ask what are the qualifications for being a mage?
Of course, it's whether he can cast a fireball! Besides this, what else could it be?
Unlike the Scribe Wizard, the Dazzling Warlock will master a series of professional features starting from level 1.

First up is the Primordial Speaker, a Dazzling Warlock wielding arcane magic steeped in elemental power, able to speak, read, and write Primordial. Knowing this language also allows the Dazzling Warlock to understand speakers of certain dialects, including Aqualad, Air, Ignan, and Earthmind.

This means that Ivy can communicate with magical elements. Tangible elemental creatures usually live in their own elemental planes. With certain summoning magic, the caster can pull them out of the elemental plane to become their helpers. Being proficient in the original language allows Ivy to give these elemental creatures more specific and detailed instructions.

The second class ability of the Dazzling Warlock is "Wild Elemental Surge". Due to the restless elemental magic in his bones, all elemental magic cast by the Dazzling Warlock will be enhanced and have a 2d6-foot range of effect. After that, for every additional level of spell the Dazzling Warlock can use, the effect will increase by 1d6 feet.

"Wild Elemental Surge" is a very powerful art style class feature. It not only closely follows the class description of "good at creating large-scale magical effects", but also has considerable strength. Because the warlock is a 9th level spellcaster, the upper limit of this ability is to increase the effect by 10d6, up to 60 feet.

60 feet is about 20 meters, which is a considerable improvement. You should know that the range of the 9th-level spell Meteor Explosion is only a 40-foot spherical space, and the mathematical expectation of 10d6 is about 35, which means that this professional ability alone can increase the killing radius of the 9th-level spell Meteor Explosion by about twice.

Moreover, doubling the radius does not mean doubling the killing area. The result can be easily obtained based on the area formula of a circle. Moreover, most elemental magic effects are only approximately regarded as circles, because the directions in the air and on the ground are basically assumed to be zero killing. But their effects are actually spherical, especially when the magic effect can break through environmental obstacles, this attribute will be particularly terrifying.

But of course there are disadvantages. If you cast a spell in a small environment, it is very likely that you will accidentally blow up the passage or room. Causing damage to friendly forces is secondary. If you accidentally bury the caster himself, that would be a lot of fun.

Although the professional ability of the Supreme Warlock is so cool, Ivy still can't invest a single bit of experience points in it, because all his remaining experience has turned into the little fire dragon flying in the air.

What's worse is that since the dragon is not a perfect artistic element, Ivy cannot sign a contract with it as a pet. At most, it can only be regarded as a magical object that can move freely. Fortunately, after Ivy's careful design, this small dragon with a shining metallic luster has a good artistic value.

When Ivy brought it back to the Slytherin common room, everyone's eyes were once again focused on Ivy.

The eldest son of the Malfoy family was particularly embarrassed. His eyes were as big as copper bells, and his sight was fixed on the little fire dragon flying beside Ivy, following it around and around. When the little fire dragon landed on Ivy's head, raised its head and roared "Gawoo--", spewing a large mouthful of flames, Malfoy trembled all over and almost forgot to breathe.

The eldest son of the Malfoy family, whose name is "Draco", also known as "Draco", has an innate love for dragons. Therefore, in full view of everyone, he came to Ivy, his eyes still glancing upwards.

"Ivy." Malfoy swallowed, showing considerable hesitation and hesitation, "Christmas is coming soon... I remember you said on the train that your parents have already - anyway, would you like to come to my house during the Christmas holidays?"

Unlike all Muggle schools in the northern hemisphere, Hogwarts has three holidays in the school year: summer vacation, Christmas vacation and Easter vacation.

The summer vacation lasts about nine weeks and is the longest vacation in the school year. As for the Christmas and Easter holidays, they are slightly shorter and students can choose to stay in school or go home.

Because the Easter holiday is right before the final exams, professors usually assign a lot of homework, which makes it difficult for little wizards of all grades to have a good time.

The Christmas holiday, which is in the first half of the school year, is different. Professors will not assign extra homework, so everyone has a reason to have a good time.

Of course, for Ivy, the Christmas holiday will be a rare leisure time. He does not have to torture the trolls of the Quidditch team, nor does he have to deal with homework from professors, so he originally decided to lock himself in the room to study magic.

Seeing that Ivy didn't answer, Malfoy continued, "You know, I often write to my parents, and they also send a lot of candy. And I often talk about you in the letters..." At this point, Malfoy quickly glanced at the little dragon above Ivy's head, "They all said that you have a bright future, and asked me to learn more from you. If you can come, they will be very happy!"

Malfoy took a half step forward, leaned sideways and said in a very low voice: "And I still owe you a few dark magic items. Since the school's owl communications are all censored, they can't be mailed directly. Besides, I think you will want to choose from the Malfoy family collection."
