Hogwarts: From Little Wizard to White Lord

"It turns out the answer has been right in front of me all along... Memory is the outer garment of the soul. The outer garment's function is to protect it from wind, rain, and dust. When it becomes dirty and polluted, it can be replaced with another one, and the soul behind the garment remains pure and flawless..."

"But how do I weave this coat?"

Now Vaughan has some understanding of memory magic. The so-called emotions and memories are not independent entities that exist independently of each other, but different manifestations of subjective cognition when the human brain is active.

They are essentially one and the same. It is not possible to separate them and create a false memory to produce corresponding emotions.

The emergence of emotions may actually call upon all memories. For example, when a person feels humiliated and angry, he will remember all the humiliating experiences and even trace them back to the beginning of his memory.

If you want to deceive yourself with false memories, it means you have to modify all the memories in your mind and make up a life that is real enough. Otherwise, your own cognitive ability will tell you that everything you think of is fake.

Vaughn opened the system panel and browsed through all the memory magic he had learned.

Legilimency, Memory Charm, Dream Charm, Nightmare Charm, False Memory Charm...

Looking at the spells one by one, Vaughn pondered for a long time and finally came up with some ideas:

"If I were to weave a coat for myself, first, I could use a fake memory charm to create a large enough framework. This framework needs to be able to accommodate the life of a dark wizard and be reasonable, such as the reason why he fell into darkness, why he indulged in dark magic, and why he went crazy..."

"...The Dream and Nightmare spells are responsible for amplifying the effect of the memory, making the beauty profound enough, and then destroying it, making the pain unforgettable, providing a reason enough for depravity to be mistaken for reality. Finally, there's the Oblivion spell, which ensures that once this 'outer garment' is contaminated to a certain degree, it can be 'destroyed with a single click'..."

Legilimency will be involved in the entire weaving process, followed by Occlumency, which is responsible for protecting the real memories!

At this point in the plan, Vaughn was a little stunned.

He calculated that to complete this black magic coat, he would need to use about ten kinds of memory spells, and they must not be the kind that can be mastered roughly, but at least level 3.

This is undoubtedly a huge project, and he has no way to verify whether it is effective for the time being.

Although in his opinion, there is nothing wrong with this idea.

"It seems that this problem cannot be solved in a short time. I need a large number of experimental samples to verify whether my idea is correct..."

Vaughn felt a bit of a headache. If it were an ordinary wizard, he might have to spend his entire life on this. No wonder this method was rarely heard of in the magical world.

The road ahead is difficult, but Vaughan is in a good mood.

No matter how difficult the road is, it is always better than having no road at all. In order to be able to enjoy the big melons in the future, while you are young and can still have fun, no matter how hard it is, it is not unacceptable.

What made him feel better was that after lying in the dark for a while, the time passed midnight, 0 became completely a thing of the past, and it was officially January 1991, 1992.

The system silently popped up a message in front of my eyes:

【Last month's reputation points have been settled】

Vaughn opened the system panel.

[Host: Vaughn Weasley]

[Magic Scale: 456 (500 for an ordinary adult wizard)]

【天赋：魔咒学7、黑魔法6、变形术8、魔药学10、草药学6、占卜学2 (满值为10)】

【魔咒：大脑封闭术LV5(MAX)、飞走咒LV4（11/16）、漂浮咒LV4（9/16）、铁甲咒LV4(9/16)、缴械咒LV4(8/16)……神锋无影LV1（4/6）、美梦咒LV1（3/4）、呼神护卫LV1（4/8）、消失咒LV1（2/6）、摄神取念LV1(3/8)……】

[Potions: "Vaughn Beauty" series, Wolfsbane Potion, etc....]

【Reputation Points: 22】

The last time Vaughn added points was on November 11st, when he kept 1 point. He also kept the 1 points from the previous month when the December settlement was made.

All in all, the wolfsbane potion incident directly raised his monthly reputation points to 15 points!

An increase of 9 points compared to before, one event, exceeded his efforts in the past few years!

Vaughn subconsciously hugged Guo Guo Cha tightly. He suddenly had the illusion that he was very wealthy...

Chapter 76 The Power of the Max-Level Spell

Vaughn was so excited that he couldn't sleep anymore.

He turned over and got out of bed, and the drowsy Guo Guocha yawned and jumped to his feet.

Looking at his double-digit fame points, Vaughn was overwhelmed for a while before he could barely control his excitement.

Take a few deep breaths to calm yourself down.

Vaughn looked at the large number of spells he knew on the system panel and began to think about adding points.

The spell has been chosen before.

He is a person who pays great attention to planning, and he will not be easily shaken by a plan he has decided on. Although the "Dark Magic Cloak" gives him hope of mastering black magic, it itself still needs to be verified for the time being, so he will not consider it.

Still following the original plan, prioritize your current main means of defense and attack.

Armor spell and disarming spell!

Since entering level 4, it has become increasingly difficult to improve these two spells. In the first month of school, he relied on diligent practice and was able to improve 1 or 2 points each week.

By December, there was no improvement for the entire month.

Vaughn could feel that the current level of these two spells seemed to have reached the limit of his spell talent 7. If he wanted to push them to LV5, he would have to invest fame points!

In the system's grading system, a spell reaching LV5 not only represents the maximum level of the spell, but also represents that the mastery of the spell has reached a superb level.

Although he currently only has the maximum level of brain occlumency, and this magic is limited by his attainments in memory, it does not show any magical effects.

But Vaughn felt that a maximum-level spell should do more than just increase power.

He no longer hesitated, invested 15 reputation points, and directly maxed out the Armor Spell and Disarming Spell.

Then he picked up his wand and called out, "Guo Guocha, come on, let's try the spell."

Guoguocha immediately perked up and followed him eagerly.

A man and a cat swaggered around, ignoring the curfew, and found the Room of Requirement, where they met Mrs. Norris and Peeves who followed her.

Seeing Vaughn, Peeves cursed and ran away. Vaughn was too lazy to pay attention to it. He fed Mrs. Norris some supplements and sent it away to cause trouble for other little wizards who wandered around at night.

Across from the tapestry of the troll clubbing Barnabas, Vaughn released his Occlumency, thinking he needed a room to practice his spells.

Soon, the door to the Room of Requirement opened.

The Room of Requirement has several different spell practice rooms, some large and some small.

I was lucky this time and was randomly assigned to a large practice room.

It is almost as big as two classrooms. Scattered in the spacious space are more than a dozen practice puppets with wheeled chassis and holding swords, bows and crossbows and other weapons in their hands.

The large practice room was enchanted so that the puppets would awaken from their dormancy if anyone entered.

Watching the puppets' eyes gradually glow red as they slid rapidly around the field on their wheels, Vaughn, who had been here several times, knew that they were waiting for him to cast a spell.

He didn't use his wand, but instead stretched out his hand and gently passed it in front of him.

A piece of iron armor suddenly appeared around him, and Vaughn immediately noticed the change in the appearance of the iron armor spell.

Its original appearance was an illusory bubble or armor, but now with the maximum level of the Iron Armor Spell, its appearance has completely changed.

Its overall form is now somewhere between a bubble and armor, but in terms of specific details, layers of fine scales appear on the surface.

It was as if a translucent giant beast was enveloping Vaughn, using its powerful scales and skin to protect him from harm.

call out--

In the distance, a puppet shot a crossbow arrow.

This place was probably a training ground built in the Middle Ages, and it still retains the barbaric style of that era. Even when practicing, real weapons are used, and the arrows are sharp and ferocious.

But the lightning-like arrow, the moment it hit the iron armor spell, bounced away with a ding sound.

Vaughn didn't move, and ordered, "Keep going!"

Several melee puppets slid forward, wielding swords and slashing, and the metal weapons collided with the seemingly empty armor spell, sending out bursts of sparks.

The remote puppets in the distance also kept winding up their weapons and shooting.

But these attacks could not shake the spell in the slightest.

It still hung steadily around Vaughn, showing no signs of being consumed.

While being beaten, Vaughn connected with himself through the spell and felt its changes.

After a while, he opened his eyes, flipped his fingers, and as his mind moved, the Iron Armor Curse, which had been uncontrollable after being summoned before, slowly began to rotate.

In a flash, it started to spin faster and faster, and its nature and function began to change. Several flying arrows had just hit it when they were immediately "captured" by the magic spell that looked like a rotating hemisphere, and then reflected back.

In the distance, several remote puppets that were stationary were suddenly pierced by an arrow, and only one that was sliding survived.

"This is the maximum level spell..."

Feeling the armor spell enveloping him, Vaughn secretly sighed that he had blocked so many attacks without consuming almost any strength.

Then he raised his right hand and cast a disarming spell silently and without a wand.

In an instant, a red light as thick as an adult's arm surged out and slammed into a melee puppet, knocking it flying.

At the same time, Vaughn, who already had experience in controlling the Armor Spell, quickly established a connection with the Disarming Spell.

The power of the spell, which would have dissipated after hitting the target, did not dissipate under his will. Instead, it suddenly split into more than a dozen pieces, like swimming snakes, slithering and ricocheting on the ground and in the air.

The whole scene was like a blooming firework display.

Almost every one of them hit a puppet, which trembled and the weapons in their hands flew up uncontrollably and fell to the ground with a clang.

The puppets' eyes flashed red as they stood still.

Vaughn looked at his hands, his expression surprised. "Is this what it feels like to understand a spell to its fullest, to be able to cast it with complete freedom... It's like controlling your own hands!"

He suddenly felt a little bloated now.

I really want to run to the eighth floor, wake up Dumbledore, and fight him!

Reason made Vaughn immediately forget this crazy idea. He was confident that he might have surpassed Dumbledore in the Shield Charm and Disarming Charm, but his magic power was not as strong as that of the old man.

After some testing, although it was not comprehensive, for example, whether the effect of the Iron Armor Charm against spells was as strong as that against swords, and whether the Disarming Charm could still control the splitting in a more intense and complex battlefield environment.

But Vaughan was still happy.

It wasn't until he noticed that his fame points, which had reached double digits, had returned to 7 points that he calmed down again.

Still not rich enough!

After thinking about it, he took out 7 points from the remaining 5 points and invested them in Legilimency, raising it to LV2, as a preparation for the subsequent verification of the "Dark Magic Cloak".

"Well, let's go find Harry tomorrow and try out the Level 2 Legilimency effect!"
