Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 472 Abundant Magic (Second Update)

It's clearly impossible to learn the true secrets of this world from a book bought from any random little magic shop.

So Jerry didn't dwell on the so-called great disaster or the many blank historical records that followed; he just needed to have a general idea of ​​these things.

What he was most concerned about was the specific magic system and mage ranks of this world.

Fortunately, the records in this area are relatively complete.

First, regarding the magic system, magic in this world is mainly divided into two categories: holding magic and ability magic.

The "Holding" type is magic that can only be used by combining magical items with one's own magical power. For example, Lucy, the Celestial Spirit Mage we met during the day, who used the Celestial Spirit Key to summon Celestial Spirits to fight, and the "Fire Dragon" who used a magic ring to unleash charm and fire magic.

The characteristic of this type of mage is that they can use the same type of magical items to create magic with different attributes and characteristics.

The stronger one's own magic power, the stronger one's magical artifacts, and the greater one's ability to control and develop magical artifacts, the stronger one's overall strength.

However, its weakness is also obvious. If it loses the corresponding magical items, its strength will be greatly reduced, and it may even be unable to cast magic.

Ability-based magic, on the other hand, is magic that is materialized from one's own cultivated magical power.

Ability-based mages do not need to rely on any magical tools; as long as they have magical power within them, they can cast magic of the corresponding attribute. Their weakness is that their magical abilities are relatively singular and easily countered.

However, there are exceptions; certain types of ability systems can also unleash magic with multiple attributes.

Secondly, in addition to the broad system of magic classifications, each specific type of magic also has different classifications.

Unlike the magical worlds he had experienced before, the magic in this world was not classified according to the attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Instead, it includes things like shape magic, which creates special magical shapes to attack enemies. Classic examples include ice shapes, fire shapes, water shapes, and wood shapes, while special ones include memory shapes.

Costume-changing magic is a type of magic that enhances one's strength by changing armor and weapons of different attributes. In addition to changing clothes, there are also special types such as changing magical firearms.

Receiving magic: Magic that transforms one by receiving the energy of animals or monsters. Enchanting magic: Magic that adds various attributes to people or objects.

In addition, there are ancient script magic, painting magic, telepathy, speed, dancers, magic birds, spells, and so on.

If we break it down further, we can distinguish dozens or even hundreds of types, each with its own characteristics and a very complete lineage.

In addition, there are some types of magic that are mentioned only briefly but not described, such as forbidden magic, super magic, lost magic, and so on.

In short, this world has a lot of all sorts of magic, and it's quite comprehensive. Some of the magic described in the text is quite powerful.

So, after getting a general understanding, Jerry was quite satisfied.

This means he can learn a lot of magic he has never encountered before, or he can learn from some of the magic in this world and improve his magical skills to a higher level.

He wasn't afraid of the strength of the magic or the mages in this world; he was only afraid that the magic in his world wasn't strong enough to enhance his power.

Conversely, the ranking system for mages in this world is very simple.

There are no distinctions like beginner, intermediate, or advanced; it's simply divided into ordinary mages, S-rank mages, and holy mages.

Normally, mages who can join a guild already possess considerable strength and can be classified as ordinary mages.

It's difficult to make a specific judgment about the strength of ordinary mages. It's not that the one who wins a face-to-face fight is stronger and the one who loses is weaker.

Because there are many types of magic in this world, and different types of magic counter each other, some are good at ranged attacks, some are good at melee combat, and some are good at sneak attacks, it is difficult to make a specific judgment.

The same match can have a different outcome depending on the environment and time.

As for S-class mages, they are top-tier mages whose strength far surpasses that of ordinary mages. Normally, there are only one or two of them in a guild, and weaker guilds may not even have any.

Their magical abilities are now largely unaffected by external factors. They have honed their magic to its peak, becoming powerful enough to deal with any type of mage, with virtually no weaknesses.

As for the Holy Mage, it is more of a symbol of honor.

Saint Mages are also S-class mages. For a period of time, the ten S-class mages recognized by the entire kingdom as the strongest will be given the honorary title of Saint Mages.

"How about we go to Magnolia tomorrow?"

After putting away the magic books, Jerry looked at the map of the Kingdom of Fiore that he had bought before checking into the inn during the day, and then decided on his next destination.

According to the map, Magnolia is the oldest magical commercial city in the Kingdom of Fiore, second only to the royal capital, Crocus, in terms of prosperity.

Most importantly, this city is home to Fairy Tail, the only and currently considered the strongest mage guild.

So if he goes to this city, he will not only have the opportunity to buy all kinds of magic books and magic items, but he can also go to Fairy Tail to post some missions to guide magic learning.

Alternatively, you could just add Fairy Tail directly.

After all, it's difficult to hire powerful mages or acquire their magical knowledge just by spending money.

To be specific, we'll have to wait until he gets there and observes things before making a decision.

This time he has enough little red stars and plenty of time, so he doesn't need to squeeze in time like before.

"Huh!"

Just as Jerry was pondering his plans for tomorrow, a sudden burst of intense magical energy on the sea outside the window caught his attention.

Upon closer inspection, the source of the magical fluctuations appeared to be a luxurious ship outside the harbor.

"Isn't that the fire dragon's ship?"

He remembered that the "famous mage fire dragon" had loudly announced when he left that he would be hosting a party on the big ship in the harbor that night, and anyone interested could attend.

"Such powerful magic!"

Before the previous magical fluctuation had even dissipated, an even more powerful magical fluctuation came from near the large ship.

Immediately afterwards, Jerry saw a huge wave sweep over the large ship and rush towards his villa in the harbor.

"Happy, Lucy, and the Little Mermaid?"

As the waves receded, besides the large ship that had capsized on the shore, Jerry actually saw Lucy, the Celestial Mage he had just met that day, and Happy, the little blue cat who could talk, on the beach below his window.

Because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, I have a lot of unavoidable things to deal with at home, so I've only been updating twice a day for the past few days. I'll be able to resume updating three times a day after the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sorry!

(This writer really hates holidays; they're such a waste of time.)
