Hogwarts Card System.

Chapter 51 [Penny the Red-Robed Wizard of the Third Ring (Blue)]

DND is a worldview, and there are several worlds with similar worldviews.

And the red-robed wizards are members of the Cel Red Robe Wizarding Guild, which is the world of Faerûn.

In this world, mages are subject to a limitation called spell slots.

It can't be called a restriction, because the magic network and spell slots actually reduce the difficulty of learning and casting spells; they are more like tools.

Those powerful legendary mages have many ways to bypass the limitations of spell slots, and there are also super-powerful legendary spells, making them no weaker than mages from other worlds. In fact, they are often much stronger!

Because many mages in that world successfully became gods!

By their standards, the vast majority of wizards in the magical world are sorcerers.

Only those who have mastered all the information and details of magic through study and research can be called magicians.

Those who rely on instinct and inherited bloodlines are sorcerers.

Wizards are born with magical blood, so they are undoubtedly warlocks.

However, many famous wizards in the magical world are also researchers, like Dumbledore, so they can be considered to be both magicians and sorcerers.

In the worlds of D&D, a mage's potential cap is determined by their intelligence, while a warlock's cap is determined by their bloodline.

The archmages of Netheril, for example, have an intelligence level as low as 17 and are considered to have poor aptitude.

Those famous archmages all had an intelligence level of 20 or higher, some even 22-24.

If we were to use today's Muggle intelligence tests, the average person's intelligence would be 90-110 points.

A score of 120-140 is considered intelligent, while a score above 140 is considered genius. The higher the score, the more intelligent the person is, with a maximum score of 200.

The great arcane mages' intelligence exceeded the test range, possibly reaching 220-240!

Ted felt that his IQ test score should be between 150 and 180 after the buff.

Without buffs, with his intelligence, he can only learn up to the third level of ninth-level spells.

A third-circle mage who has mastered the iconic Invisibility and Fireball spells is considered a beginner-level mage with little future potential.

As for areas before the Third Ring Road, those were merely low-class and not worth mentioning.

Of course, Ted's intelligence increases with leveling up, so his future prospects are bright!

Ted quickly went through the spells recorded in the magic book and found that he had unexpectedly gained a lot!

Although this red-robed wizard Penny was only a third-circle mage, he had collected and studied an unexpectedly large number of spells, ranging from 0th to 3rd circle, more than sixty kinds of spells!

My God, is this guy that rich?

You should know that learning magic in Forgotten Realms is extremely expensive. Even if you learn from a teacher, you still have to pay. Or you can buy scrolls to study on your own, which is just as expensive.

Moreover, the magic system of that world is so vast, with countless spells like stars in the sky. You can't just learn whatever you want; you have to be able to access that spell first.

Some sorcerers who live in remote areas may not know more than twenty spells in their entire lives!

Based on Ted's understanding of the Red Robe Wizarding Society, it was an organization known for its evil and oppression.

The mage is the father of that country!

All activities revolve around the mage, even going so far as to use magic to alter the weather and promote agricultural harvests.

This organization's oppression of lower-level mages is also terrifying. It emphasizes mass training followed by survival of the fittest, forcing apprentices into vicious competition. If someone dies, they die; those who survive are the elite.

They even created a production line for magical items!

Therefore, this country is known for exporting food and magical items.

In this situation, the Third Ring Mage could only be said to have reached the mid-level of the organization. But the fact that he was able to collect so many spells is amazing!

Ted even suspected that this guy might be the lover of some high-ranking mage above!

I learned the spell through back channels!

This guy is even eclectic, dabbling in spells from various schools. Prophecy, transmutation, incantations, evocation... aren't red-robed wizards supposed to specialize in a particular school?

One of the third-circle spells, which Ted had never even heard of, was called "Animal Moe"!

Animal Moe Transformation: Transforms a single animal or magical beast into a smaller, cuter version of itself for a short period of time.

What kind of strange magic is this?!

The sheer complexity of these spells, encompassing all aspects of magic, demonstrates just how powerful the mage truly is.

A well-prepared mage is invincible.

Because an infinite number of spells can always provide you with a suitable solution.

With limited spell slots, the key to a mage's success lies in how well they prepare their spells to deal with potential situations.

Those guys who fill all their spell slots with Fireballs definitely won't survive past chapter three.

Ted was getting excited!

This is 400 experience points exchanged for a whole bunch of amazing magic!

While converting the spell slot spell model of Faerûn into the spell casting method of this world is certainly not simple, it is still a great asset.

……

During his history of magic class, Ted was lost in thought—even the spellbook contained as many as 10 zero-ring spells.

Ted was suddenly overwhelmed with indecision; where should he begin?

Hermione nudged him with her elbow. "What's wrong with you? You've been so distracted, daydreaming the whole time. You haven't even taken any notes!"

Ted cleared his throat: "I was thinking about some magical things, and I got distracted, I got distracted."

Hermione glanced at Ted with a puzzled look. This guy was like this at the beginning of last month... no, at the beginning of the month before last!

Hermione: There's always something going on at the beginning of the month. What's wrong with you?

Hermione was still agonizing over this issue even at breakfast the next day.

The boys, who had just finished running and changed their clothes, were all joking and laughing on the side.

Neville said very quietly, "I always felt that Hermione's pursed lips and stern face gave me a very familiar feeling."

Ron nodded emphatically. "Navi, you're right, because Hermione is known as Little McGonagall!"

Jerry chimed in, "You're talking nonsense! It's Professor McGonagall, also known as Hermione!"

Hermione was instantly enraged, hands on her hips, eyes blazing with fury!

"You three!"

Neville: This has nothing to do with me!

Just then, the messenger owl appeared on time, its wings flapping erratically overhead.

If you're unlucky, bird feathers might fall down.

Ted suddenly extended his wand, instantly casting a levitation spell: "Yugadilem Leviosa~"

He was so quick-witted, chanting the incantation so fast that Ron couldn't even hear him.

Then he saw his own old owl hovering about a foot above the soup bowl in front of him.

Their family's owl, Errol, has been serving the family for over twenty years, delivering mail to them even before Bill, the eldest Weasley, was born.

I'm really starting to feel overwhelmed right now.

If it weren't for Ted, it would have plunged headfirst into the steaming creamy corn soup.

Ted: I don't want to drink a bowl of Scottish round-faced fat chicken soup.

Hermione gently moved the old owl aside, fed it some pumpkin juice to help it regain its strength, and complained, "Ron, your family should retire it. I'm really worried that one day the weather gets bad and you'll never see it again."

Ron rolled his eyes: Easier said than done, our family would need that kind of money!

The Weasleys had many children, and Mrs. Weasley was a full-time housewife, so Mr. Weasley was the sole breadwinner. They faced considerable financial pressure and were never well-off.

Ron unwrapped the letter, read it, and then shrugged.

"Looks like I'll have to stay at school for the Christmas holidays. My parents are going to visit Bill in Egypt during Christmas, so George and I will both have to stay at school."

Although there are still about twenty days until Christmas, the Weasleys have already made their plans.

Christmas?!

The group immediately started discussing the Christmas holidays.

Needless to say, Ted has nowhere else to go. He'll definitely stay at school.

Jerry is the same; staying at school helps ease his mother's burden.

Ron also has to stay at school.

Hermione, Harley, and Neville are the only ones left who are going home for the holidays.

In the West, Christmas is a very important holiday, just like our Spring Festival. It's best to spend it with family as much as possible.

Moreover, this is their first year away from home and living at school, so their families must miss them very much.

……

On their way to class after breakfast, Hermione cautiously suggested to Ted, "Actually, you could come to my house for Christmas. You know, my dad really likes you. He's been saying he'd find a chance to thank you!"

She also had to pretend to be nonchalant, worried that she might hurt Ted's pride.

"Thank you, thank you Hermione. I appreciate your kindness, but I want to spend Christmas at school this year and see how Christmas is different in the wizarding world. Besides, Ron and Jerry will be with me! Don't worry about me. Thank you, Hermione..."

"Alright! Then remember to write to me often."

"There are still three weeks left in the Christmas holidays!"

"Ah! That's right!"
