Chapter 477-475: The Wizarding Magic Chronicle

Did the wizards discover more secrets of magic?

No.

They still had no magic wands and did not chant any spells.

From an external perspective, they still have gained nothing.

So what exactly did the wizards do to make magic gradually become a controllable tool for them, their most handy weapon?
It is order.

Order built within the heart.

Even if a wizard has no external skills, he can still unleash powerful ancient magic.

Then his willpower must be extremely strong.

This will is not a will of anger, nor a will of cruelty, but a will of control.

The former has already been proven weak; wizards cannot rely solely on their anger to unleash unstable magic.

The wizarding community may have been ruled by fairies.

Therefore, the answer is quite clear.

The latter refers to the wiser individuals among the wizards who discovered that the power of magic lies not only in extreme emotions.

It also lies in the emotion of order.

If a wizard can manipulate the power of magic once without relying on extreme emotions, then he can manipulate it a second time.

If he can get it working a second time, then there will be a third, a fourth...

If he continues to succeed, then he will believe in himself, and when a wizard firmly believes that he can do it, true magic is born.

The wizard established a powerful force of order within himself, and thus the world had to obey the wizard's order.

Therefore, Ravenclaw frankly stated: Wizards are gods.

This explains the origins of earlier wizarding magic, something that Ravenclaw would readily understand.

But now Sheen has finally figured it out.

Chaos, blindness, order, wisdom...

The quill pen scratched as it recorded Sheen's thoughts in his notebook.

From the very beginning, magic was obscure and unpredictable. Shin, recalling Ravenclaw's memories, named the first century "Chaos."
Later, wizards discovered that they could always use magic under certain special circumstances, which is now known as a magical outburst.

These are the magical laws that were first discovered by wizards, just like how Harry can shatter glass when he's angry, or how Neville can teleport himself when he's panicked.

At this time, the wizards discovered that magic could appear under extreme circumstances. They blindly pursued extreme emotions and unleashed magic... In Ravenclaw's memory, the wizards at this time were extremely insane, and their deaths were varied and bizarre.

Therefore, Sheen named this period before the barbarism "Blindness".

More than a decade ago, wise wizards, perhaps unwilling to become powder kegs that could explode at the slightest provocation, or perhaps unwilling to become cruel, savage, and cold-blooded beings, began to study the laws of magic and use it in a controlled manner.

As they gradually gain control over their emotions and behavior, they receive positive feedback from the magic of success.

True magic, capable of being controlled by wizards, was born.

During this period, wizards used magic according to their own inner order, and faith gradually took shape.

So Sheen named this period of the wizards' arduous journey "Order";
Finally, the wizards created wands and discovered the external laws governing magic—spells.

Wisdom begins to influence the wizard's magical power. At this point, the wizard can draw the necessary "order" directly from external history without relying on the emotional power of the "blind" period.

It's roughly like thinking, "If wizards in the past could cast spells this way, so can I..."

Wizards no longer need to establish "order" from within, but rather rely on a rich magical history to convince them that their magical powers can be realized.

In addition, the correct spells that reduce resistance to the release of magic and the wands that can channel magical power greatly helped wizards. At this time, the wisdom of wizards gradually took shape, and they turned from establishing inner order to exploring the whole of magic as a real power.

Ritual magic, faith... gradually took shape within wisdom.

Therefore, Sheen named this period of flourishing wizarding magic "Wisdom".

At the end of the parchment, Sheen wrote a word somewhat uncertainly: [God].

Then it was wiped off.

If a wizard has unwavering faith in his magical power, and even if everyone else believes in his strength; if a wizard establishes incredibly powerful and profound ritual magic...

So, can he define the entire world?

Does the world have to operate according to his will?

Should such a wizard be called... a god...?

Shaking his head, Sheen shook off these thoughts.

These are his summaries, and perhaps many flaws or even errors have not been discovered.

After all, these are just his feelings and his personal opinion.

……

“Amazing, absolutely amazing, is that why you came to me?”

Oh, my dear Mr. Green, I can sense that you must still have many details to add, can't you?"

Dumbledore held a yellowed parchment as if it were a treasure map.

He let out a soft gasp and cast a pleased glance at Sheen.

"Do you think my guess is correct?"

Sheen asked curiously.

"Not entirely. The history of wizards is too ancient for us to investigate thoroughly."

But that's what we're going to do. If you can find enough evidence to support your theory, it will be the most brilliant theory in the history of magic.

This would be an extremely valuable endeavor, far surpassing the portion of Bathilda Bagshot's History of Magic.

I quietly added...

Dumbledore blinked kindly.

“I think this is very likely true.”

But the evidence, dear Mr. Green, you need to find concrete evidence, which is hidden in the Hogwarts library...

"Ah, I've read most of those books, so I know you're probably right, but you can't expect every wizard to be like me, can you?"

Sheehan nodded, which made Dumbledore even more pleased.

"Afternoon tea time—I've always believed that sweets can bring us a better mood."

Dumbledore directed a cup of lemon tea with a lethal dose of sugar cubes to float to Sheehan's side, then watched with interest as the young wizard took out several large books—he seemed to have already begun doing so.

What are you going to name it?

Dumbledore asked with a smile.

"Hmm... Wizarding Magic Chronicles?"

Sheen thought for a while.

"A straightforward and correct term."

Dumbledore nodded.

"But Professor..."

Sheen suddenly said,
"I came to see you not because of this matter."

Dumbledore's smile froze for a moment. As if he had expected this, he slowly asked:

"That is……"
