I made up magic and taught a world-destroying witch?

Based on the current pattern, as long as Mia and Grace master the repair and guidance techniques, he should be able to acquire the corresponding skills as well, right?

One skill is used for repairing things, another for providing stability to others, and with the addition of Tracking Spark and Powerful Purple Line, this skill set, if not qualifying as a Grand Mage, would at least qualify as a novice adventurer with a fairly complete skill set.

I just don't know what will happen after the repair and guidance feedback is applied to him.

But the problem now is that what he just told the students was too simplistic. What's the difference between that and telling someone who's just learning to cook, "Just bring out a Manchu Han Imperial Feast"?

The fact that Mia and Grace were able to comprehend his abstract nonsense into magic only shows that they are indeed very talented, not that he can throw his students into the ocean every time and wait for them to swim ashore on their own.

Therefore, it's best to give them a rough demonstration before they officially start training, at least to let them know which direction the so-called repair and guidance should be directed.

but……

Joseph stared at his empty hands, lost in thought.

He can't repair or guide, and he hasn't even acquired the skills yet, so what is he going to demonstrate?

You can't just stand in front of the students and say, "Look, first fix the broken thing, then guide others properly, and the demonstration is over."

Joseph paced around the training room a few times, his gaze finally settling on the puppet head he had just destroyed.

The wooden head rolled on the ground, a hole burned into the middle of its forehead by red and gold sparks, and the part connecting it to its neck was broken.

He can't fix it, but could he demonstrate the general steps?

Anyway, in many magical stories, the restoration spells basically involve pointing a wand at something bad and then reciting a sophisticated-sounding phrase.

In some worlds it's called Restoration, in others it's called Repair, and in still others it's called Magic: a wave of a wand and a shout and everything is restored to normal, and broken glasses and cups fly back on their own, plus a trick to reconnect broken items with a little magic.

It's not a big problem to copy a little from one place and a little from another, as long as the original author doesn't come across the world to collect copyright fees.

Joseph walked over to the wooden head and first wrapped it with purple thread. Having learned from his previous experience, the purple thread was much more obedient this time. The thin thread went around the wooden head, gently supported it from below, and then pulled it up from the ground, swaying and hanging down next to the broken puppet's neck, not much different from the pork hanging in the market.

However, for a magic demonstration, posture doesn't matter, as long as you can move.

Joseph controlled the purple line to bring the two broken ends together as close as possible.

"The first step in the repair should be to confirm the original location," he muttered to himself.

When something breaks, you need to know where the parts should have been installed and which side of the crack corresponds to which side. Mia should understand this, after all, she was born a blacksmith.

Red and gold sparks emerged from his fingertips as Joseph stared at the severed neck of the puppet, trying to pinpoint the location of the connecting ring.

The sparks flew slowly past. This time, he tried to slow them down a bit. It turned out that the spell could not only lock onto the target, but its strength also seemed to be affected by the thought.

A reddish-gold spark traced a line around the broken edge, leaving a light black mark on the edge of the wood.

Joseph's eyes lit up slightly.

Can control the strength? But before he could be happy for long, the smell of burnt wood wafted out.

  

The puppet's head, suspended by the purple thread, swayed slightly. The broken edges were blackened by the heat, showing no sign of being reattached.

Joseph: "..."

Sure enough, the repair wasn't about baking two pieces together; it involved a piece of wood pieced together. Joseph quickly stopped the sparking, and the purple line loosened.

The puppet's head fell to the ground with a thud, its charred face rolling halfway and facing the observation window.

The recorder, who had just been recording the red-gold sparks and purple lines, glanced down at the board and then looked up at the obviously defeated puppet head in the training room.

A student next to me asked in a low voice:

"This time... it must have really failed, right?"

The teaching assistant on duty stared at the severed head of the puppet for a long time before slowly shaking his head.

"No."

"Not a failure?"

Several people around him looked at him at the same time.

"Look, the professor first used the purple wire to return the break to its original position, then used the red-gold spark dies to work on the connecting area, but he stopped after only a short time. What does this mean?"

One student tentatively asked, "Does that mean... wood is very flammable?"

The teaching assistant couldn't help but roll his eyes at him and said, "That means the professor is testing a new spell!"

In the training room, Joseph was contemplating another genre: restoration could be barely displayed, but what about guidance?

According to what he told Grace, guidance cannot make choices for others; it can only make the things they originally wanted to do a little more stable.

It all sounded even more abstract than repair. Joseph glanced at the two spell slots in his mind, then looked at the moving puppet on the other side of the training room that still hadn't lost its head.

He certainly can't guide someone now, but he can try to guide his own magic; the principle should be similar anyway.

Although it's just randomly combining two existing skills, it's sufficient as a demonstration. The focus of the lesson is to provide the thought process.

If you do all the work yourself, how can the students possibly understand?

Joseph released the purple line again and activated the red-gold spell slot. Sparks quickly touched the vicinity of the purple line.

Following the path of the purple line, shouldn't that be considered guiding?

Joseph tried to gently bring the purple thread close to the spark, and to his surprise, the red-gold spark actually followed the direction of the thread after touching it. The red-gold and purple lights intertwined in mid-air, rushing into the red dot on its forehead and igniting the entire puppet!

Joseph's eyes lit up.

Is it really useful? Isn't this just guidance?

Although he himself cast the guided spell, the principle was the same, and Joseph decided to omit this point when teaching his students in the future.

"Guidance is about first identifying where the goal originally wanted to go, and then giving it a small correction when it deviates from that direction."

With Grace's intelligence, she should be able to easily glean something from this scene.

That should be about right. With concrete visuals, their chances of successfully understanding the concepts should be higher. It's much better than what he said this morning.

He won't go any further.

As for how Mia and Grace eventually turned these actions into real magic, they'll have to figure that out for themselves.

After all, once you write down the objectives, steps, and general direction of a lesson plan, the rest can be left to independent exploration.

Joseph opened the door and went out, only to find a large group of students gathered at the observation window. They looked at him excitedly when they saw him come out.

The teaching assistant on duty quickly walked over and handed him back the receipt for the high-risk training room.

"Professor Grantham."

"Um?"

The teaching assistant hesitated for a moment, but finally said seriously, "I'm starting to understand what this new magic you're talking about is."

Joseph: "..." You understand now too?

However, it was definitely not the right time to ask. Joseph nodded slightly, adopting a calm expression that suggested he was quite perceptive, implying that the fact that Joseph was aware of this meant he was also very insightful.

In such situations, the less you say, the more space others have to interpret your words.

Freedom of interpretation is the most important part of the new magic education!

He took the receipt back from the teaching assistant and left the training tower. Joseph was in a good mood all the way back to the experimental tower.

With two spells confirmed to be usable and a new tutorial demonstration, it was a perfect morning indeed.

Once he gets back, he just needs to organize the repair and guidance steps again and let the two students study them slowly. Then he can consider how to safely arrange the first batch of 100,000 gold coins.

It's best to check with the UnionPay Vault first. Taking all the money out is unrealistic and too conspicuous. You could exchange some of it for another place and then think about what to do with what you have.

The bed in the experimental tower really needs to be replaced. He's now a project leader who has mastered two new spells and has two students with different career paths. Sleeping on an old bed that makes a creaking noise when you turn over is going to affect the sleep quality of a great mage.

There's also the back pain from sitting in an office chair for too long. These are all basic support facilities for project leaders. Only when project leaders are well-rested can they continue to promote the revival of new magic.

So strictly speaking, he spent the money to restore the quality of life that a great mage should have.

Just as Joseph was deciding what to buy, a familiar burst of laughter came from ahead.

"Haha! Professor Grantham! Good day!"
