Regulus of Hogwarts: Lord of the Stars

For example, would infusing the calming magic of the calming flower into the Fiery Blaze reduce its ferocity?

Or conversely, could we add the magic of a certain volatile plant to enhance its power?

He mentally reviewed the magical plants he had learned about.

Calming Flower, soothing and calming; Babo tuber, irritating to the skin; Poisonous tentacles, corrosive and paralyzing; Moon Orchid, dispelling darkness; Sun-blooming Ebony Shrub, purifying evil.

Each plant possesses unique magical properties; if these properties were combined with Fiery Blaze...

Adding the calming properties of the calming flower might quell the fierce fire, making it easier to control.

With the addition of poisonous tentacles, the Fiery Blaze may have a corrosive effect, burning through not only matter but also magic.

The addition of the light-giving properties of the Sunlit Ebony Shrub may allow Fiendfire to produce a purifying effect.

If I add white cinnamon and then burn it with scorching fire, will it hinder the healing of the wound?

As for the Willow Tree, it might make the Fiery Blaze even more powerful.

But how do we fuse them?

Natural magic and Fiery Blaze are two completely conflicting properties. Forcibly fusing them could directly trigger an explosion. A balance needs to be found, or some kind of medium can be used for transition.

He then thought of the imagery of the starry sky.

The imagery of the starry sky can enhance regular spells, and by incorporating the calm and vast imagery into the Ironclad Spell, the barrier becomes more solid.

By incorporating the imagery of explosive destruction into the Shattering Spell, its power is multiplied.

Is there any starry sky imagery that would be suitable for binding Fiery Blaze?

Regulus thought of the stars.

Stars also burn, but their burning is stable, continuous, and regular.

The immense mass generates gravity, restraining the violent fusion reaction and allowing energy to be released smoothly in the form of light and heat.

The concept of gravitational constraint might be worth considering.

Of course, this is only a borrowing at the level of imagery.

He couldn't possibly simulate stellar gravity; that's the realm of astrophysics. I don't know if magic could do it, but he certainly couldn't.

However, he can use the two core concepts of constraint and stability to construct a mental image to help control the Fiery Blaze.

Regulus decided to give it a try.

He resummoned the Fiery Blaze, shaping it into a bird, while maintaining control and shaping it, he also invoked the imagery of the constellation's restraint.

An image appeared in my mind: a blazing fireball, enveloped by an invisible gravitational field. The flames were raging, but were confined to a fixed area, burning steadily.

He projected this image onto the firebird.

The Firebird's body trembled violently.

The flames began to flicker erratically, double images appeared at the edges of the shape, the wings lengthened and shortened, and a cluster of sparks burst from the tail.

The overall shape began to evolve in a certain direction, but instead of becoming more refined, it became more regular.

It's as if some force is compressing the flames towards the center, making them more concentrated.

But then, the raging fire began to become unstable.

The restraining imagery and the expansionist tendency of the fiery instinct clashed fiercely.

The temperature at the core of the flame soared, its color shifting from orange-red to incandescent white, and the air in the training room began to distort.

Regulus felt his control rapidly slipping away; Fiery Blaze was about to break free.

He immediately extinguished the flames.

The imagery of star-based constraints is indeed useful, but he may have used it in the wrong way or not controlled the intensity properly.

Fiendfire is a cursed fire, not a stellar fusion; forcibly applying the concept may backfire.

But this is indeed a direction, using the imagery of the starry sky to assist in control, rather than simply relying on brute force.

Conversely, if he really needed a raging fire to burn everything to ashes, what imagery could he incorporate?

A supernova explosion is a violent explosion at the end of a star's life, releasing energy equivalent to the total radiation emitted by the star throughout its entire life.

That instantaneous, extreme burst of light, a light that destroys everything.

Or a black hole, a gravitational trap from which even light cannot escape, devouring all matter and energy in its path.

These images cannot truly simulate celestial phenomena, but they may enhance the destructive properties of Fiendfire.

When necessary, use imagery to guide the raging fire to burn in a more extreme and thorough direction.

Of course, he can't do that yet.

The mental strength and control provided by the four-and-a-half-star star trail meditation are not enough to support this level of image projection.

Perhaps it will be possible once all seven stars of Orion are fully illuminated, and once the star trail meditation system is truly mature.

At that time, the Fiery Curse alone was enough to be considered powerful.

Regulus is still far from possessing the level of control that Dumbledore and Voldemort had.

But he has a direction and time; if he can't do it now, he'll keep practicing.

He actually wanted to try sending a Fiery Bird through the spatial passage. If he could teleport a Fiery Bird behind an enemy and suddenly appear to attack, it would be a deadly surprise attack.

But after thinking about it, I gave up.

The Fiery Blaze is irrational; it has its own biases and tendencies.

In case, the moment Li Huo crosses the spatial passage, he thinks, "This passage is pretty good, I want to burn it down too," and then tries to burn another path through the spatial structure.

Then we don't know where it will fly to. It might be teleported to a predetermined location, get stuck in a spatial rift, or directly cause a spatial collapse.

Then we don't know where it will fly to. It might be teleported to a predetermined location, get stuck in a spatial rift, or directly cause a spatial collapse.

The risk is too high; we cannot try it at this stage.

At 2 a.m., Regulus left the Room of Requirement and returned to his bedroom.

The corridor was quiet, with only the sound of his own footsteps echoing between the stone walls.

The moonlight outside the window was bright, casting colorful spots of light on the ground through the stained glass windows.

Exam week is coming to an end, and the holidays are just around the corner.

He needs to make some careful plans.

......

Arnold Belmont didn't return to Hogwarts until after his exams were over.

This incident caused some discussion within Slytherin, but it was limited to a few lame jokes among the upperclassmen.

The Belmont family's business probably wasn't big enough; they couldn't even buy an exam opportunity.

Maybe they're planning to move their whole family to Bulgaria.

Almost no one in the other houses cared; after all, there was always something new happening at Hogwarts, and the Thorne family attack was no longer being discussed.

Orion did not write a letter explaining the specifics, and in the Black family's view, this matter probably fell into the category of being handled casually, and there was no need to mention it again after it was dealt with.

Regulus heard the rest from Narcissa: the Belmont family had handed over all their properties and smuggling channels in Britain, and the family had moved to Eastern Europe with their accumulated Galleons.

It didn't specify which country.

The Black family didn't touch their money, firstly because it would seem unseemly, and secondly because how much of that money would remain outside depended on Belmont's abilities.

"They're fighting over food." Narcissa said this with a hint of sarcasm: "Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria... the xenophobia of pure-blood families there is no less than that of the British."

If the Belmont family wants to establish itself, they'll have to give away most of their Galleons as toll fees; the rest, well, that's up to fate.

Regulus listened, then simply nodded without asking any further questions.

This is no longer his concern, nor does it require his attention.

When exam week ended and the results were announced, the auditorium bulletin board was packed with people.

Regulus didn't join in the fun; he already knew the outcome.

Avery squeezed in, looked around, and came back with a calm expression: "All O's, you're all O's."

Regulus grunted in response, not taking it seriously, and continued packing his luggage.

Tomorrow is a holiday, and tonight is the end-of-term dinner.

The young wizards went completely wild, their pent-up emotions from the entire exam week exploding out, with figures running everywhere in the corridors.

In the common room, someone was using a levitation charm to toss pillows around, and several Hufflepuffs were having a picnic on the grass by the Black Lake, their laughter audible from a great distance.

Avery took Alex and Hermes to the lake and asked Regulus if he wanted to go.

Regulus shook his head, picked up a few books that were due for borrowing, and headed towards the library.

At times like this, the library is practically empty, and even the most studious Ravenclaws are enjoying the relaxation after their exams.

Mrs. Pince was dozing off behind the counter, her head nodding off.

Regulus walked to his usual window seat, and just ten minutes after sitting down, footsteps approached.

He looked up and saw Lily Evans standing by the table.

She wasn't wearing her school uniform today; instead, she wore a light blue dress, and her red hair was tied in a ponytail at the back of her head, making her look much more refreshed.

"There aren't many people in the library at this time of day," Lily said casually.

"You've come too." Regulus nodded.

Lily sat down opposite him, placing the book she was holding on the table; it was an advanced book on potions.

She didn't open it immediately, but looked at him and asked the question she had been pondering for almost a month.

"Regulus, can you tell me why you treated that person that way?"

Regulus knew she was asking about Arnold Belmont.

When he last met her and Snape at the library, he noticed the curiosity in Lily's eyes. She had been holding it in for so long, and finally asked.

Instead of answering directly, he asked in a gentle voice, "Then why do you think I did that?"

Lily blinked, looked at his expression, and suddenly laughed.

She didn't know why she wanted to laugh. Maybe it was because she remembered how Regulus had taught her that making friends was a two-way choice. He was serious, logical, and like an adult.

Now that he's asking her again in that same tone, she finds it kind of funny.
