People are in Hogwarts, and werewolves block the door at the beginning.

"This is because when you used the card, you hardly used any mental strength to use it."

"You can only exercise your 'muscles', that is, your magic power itself. It does not improve your magic skills."

"You may have used the summoning card to peek at the second level of the Devil's Snare that was created when the two powers were used simultaneously."

"But a second-level spell definitely doesn't just increase damage."

"The level 4 spell you added to the echo isn't really level 4 either."

"The level of your card is definitely not capped at level 15 like in the game."

"In fact, a level one spell is already at the level of an ordinary wizard."

"A true second-level spell will create special effects in addition to or based on your wishes."

"Just like my Killing Curse, it can also perform killing spells. This is something the original Killing Curse doesn't have."

"That's what Ron meant by personal."

Baqir was a little confused.

He lay in the bedroom of the dormitory, his mouth open but no sound came out.

The sound was transferred to the secret room connected to Myrtle's bathroom on the third floor, right next to Riddle's ears.

"So what exactly is a second-level spell? According to you, the Stunning Spell I used on Malfoy and his two lackeys, which had the properties of a Banishing Spell, was a second-level spell."

Riddle denied. "You cast a first-level spell with the properties of a second-level spell."

"A true second-level spell is more powerful when you use the same amount of magic power, and at the same time has different characteristics based on your personal wishes."

"You don't need to inject any additional spiritual power to restrain or impose these traits."

“It’s like being alive.”

"By then, your wand will also change and become more spiritual."

Chapter 41 The Properties of Spells

It's a long, dimly lit room.

Many stone pillars carved with coiled snakes stood tall to support the ceiling which melted into the darkness above, casting long and eerie black shadows on the entire room which was filled with green and mysterious mist.

A statue, as tall as the room itself, clings to the dark wall at the back.

However, the statue had an old, monkey-like face, and a long, sparse beard that almost reached the hem of the wizard's stone robes.

This made it seem that the man who was standing in the middle of the statue's legs, with broken pieces of chairs all over the ground, also had a somewhat vulgar temperament.

He has a well-proportioned figure, a dignified bearing, black hair, pale skin and a handsome face that can win the hearts of countless girls.

The gentle, clear voice produced a hollow, loud echo between the ghostly walls, which was particularly pleasant to the ear.

Suddenly, a column of burning hot air came from the upper right side of his head.

A clear male voice was also heard: "Is this considered a level 2 spell?"

The wand in the man's hand automatically raised back, and a green light flashed.

Crack! A sharp explosion sounded where the green light and the air column came into contact.

The man lowered his head and smiled, "Very good, my lord. A pseudo-level 4 unlocking spell, with your mental strength added. This has surpassed the level spell."

Obviously, it was Bagel who emitted this column of air.

Among the Spell Cards made into Echoes of [Fenrir Wolf], the only one related to attack is the Unlocking Spell.

Could it be possible that he was using a healing spell to suck blood?

The predecessor of the unlocking spell was a spell that directly sent out a beam of light to blow up the door lock, and it had the tendency to develop into an attacking spell.

Use [Dragon Knight] and [Magic Book] and mental power to render this +3 unlocking spell.

Treating Riddle as the lock of a door, the strong desire to open it made the spell full of power that seemed to be able to break through everything.

The man is Riddle.

A young version of Voldemort.

As the first intelligent summon in the [Spellbook], he has a unique status.

Since the birth of the [Magic Book] card, he has been subconsciously loyal to Bagir and has a special understanding of the power of the [Magic Book].

He even "remembers" some of the game's mechanism settings clearly.

Rather than saying he is a summoned creature, it would be more accurate to say he is a system elf.

"My Killing Curse, converted into card level, is level 2."

"I have only just mastered this spell at this time, so it is still very awkward."

Bajir asked, "Even if my spell is a pseudo-level 4, the corresponding damage is still at the level of a true level spell. It just lacks the characteristics of three transformations. Why?"

Riddle replied, "There is a huge difference between spells. Level is not the only criterion for judging strength."

"And you underestimate the characteristics."

"Do you still remember the four buffs of the spell "Clear Water Like a Spring" in the game, Golden Forbidden Forest, Deadly Hunt?"

"〖Clear Water Like a Pillar〗 The width of the water column increases by 50%; the number of water columns sprayed by 〖Clear Water Like a Waterfall〗 increases by 100%, and the damage increases by 20%; when 〖Clear Water Like a Spear〗 hits the same enemy unit, the damage increase increases by an additional 20%; 〖Clear Water Like a Barrier〗 The damage increases by 30, and the target unit can be knocked back."

When Bajir heard these familiar words, he first felt nostalgic, then frowned: "Wait, you mean that characteristics are equivalent to the buffs in these limited-time dungeons? Aren't characteristics divided into four qualities: white, blue, purple, and gold? No, there may not be purple."

Riddle nodded. "Actually, the Spring Water Spell has another name. The Water Creation Spell. But the spell is so easy to remember that the name was used instead. Just like its name, the main purpose of this spell is just to create water. It does almost no damage."

"For the same spell, when you are in a state of excitement, change the last slight touch of the wand's trajectory to a straight forward poke. You will find that what emerges from your wand is no longer a stream of clear spring water. Instead, it is a column of water that can shatter a porcelain cup within 5 feet."

"This is one of the characteristics of the Water Creation Spell's advancement."

"Depending on the individual's potential, willpower, and magic power, the characteristics of their birth are also varied. Even the same characteristics can have different powers."

"Maybe, when your card is upgraded to level 2 and its characteristics are born, the card data will really be divided into four qualities: white, blue, purple, and gold."

Baqir burst out laughing when he heard this.

He then thought of another possibility.

"Reality is not a game. You can't spend money to upgrade the quality of characteristics. The number of times my spells can transform is relatively limited. If the first characteristic born is only white quality, will the transformation power of subsequent spell upgrades be wasted on upgrading the white quality characteristics?"

"Should I lay a solid foundation before upgrading like the protagonist in a fantasy novel about cultivating immortals?"

"In other words, in the early stages, you rely on learning more spells to train your magic power, making cards, and upgrading the level of the [Spellbook] to gain bonuses. When you can't hold it back anymore, you can upgrade the cards, so that the new features can directly reach the highest quality?"

"You just said that reality is not a game." Riddle said with a smile, "Although I don't have any memories of the subject after adulthood, I can vaguely feel that the characteristics of my Killing Curse have also changed after creating the Horcrux."

"Characteristics are a reflection of the wizard's self. If you become stronger, it will become stronger as well."

"The collapse and degeneration of the self will also cause the characteristics to change."

"The spell, or magic, comes from our belief."

"Although Adebbe Wafflin's Theory of Magic is accurate, magic is indeed a phenomenon caused by the interaction between the magic magnetic field and the real magnetic field, or the independent operation."

"But the magical magnetic field comes from wizards, and its operation comes from our hearts. In Muggle terms, it is the fluctuation of electrical signals in the brain."

"In short, you don't need to suppress the spell's growth instinct at all."

"Wait," Basil noticed the blind spot, "Spells are alive? What's the difference between a spell and its corresponding spell card?"

"I remember I said that before." Riddle stroked his forehead in distress.

"The two are separate. Unless you use the cards in the [Spellbook] every time you cast a spell."

"When you cast a spell, your wand and your [magic book] are like your two legs when you walk."

"But the difference is that to cast the spell 'walk' you don't need to use both your left and right legs at the same time. You can walk with just one leg."

"Depending on your habits, this could result in your less-exercised leg being thinner."

"What's more, the nature of the two is different."

"Spell cards, or your cards. You might as well think of them as magic weapons in fantasy novels. Simply using them will indeed grow according to the mechanism. But it is minimal. This is why you don't have a second-level card now. When you use it, inject spiritual power into it and transform the released spell. It's like using your mind to refine a magic weapon. This way it will naturally grow faster."

"A spell is like a talisman engraved on the soul. That's why it's also called a spell. After you hone the meaning and form to perfection, it will be engraved in your heart and will gradually 'come alive', absorbing your overflowing spiritual energy to grow. This will in turn affect you, or make you more in line with it. This is why advanced spells, or black and white magic, can affect the mind."

"A spell card with special features after upgrading. It allows you to use a spell with special features without spending any effort."

"And the spell corresponding to this spell card does not mean it is a level 2 spell."

"It's like the right leg with less movement is not as good as the left leg with more movement."

"Of course it will grow rapidly because your card reaches the true level 2. But it won't reach the corresponding level immediately."

Chapter 42 The Power of Ignorance

"I am now very proficient in the Illumination Spell. If I make it into a card, will its proficiency be a blank, or will it be based on my actual proficiency in the Illumination Spell?" Bajir asked hurriedly.

He began to feel fortunate to have this system-like, youthful version of Riddle.

If he wasn't there, to know the answer, Bagir would have to spend 100 gems to make one.

Then compare the power of the spells without using the Wand, [Wand Appearance Component], without using 'Magic Power' and Mana at the same time, and only using the [Magic Book].

Because there is no proficiency displayed on the card.

It is standard for the main character of the system flow, and you can see the data bars of subtle progress of hard study and training.

He doesn't have any.

Riddle thought for a moment and said, "My Lord, the essence of making a card is to take a picture of the magic you cast and engrave it in the [Spellbook]."

"Subsequently, the habit of 'walking' may cause imbalance."

“But in the beginning, the two were equivalent.”

Basil suddenly realized, "So, if I really make a spell card [Illumination Spell], it will inherit my proficiency in that spell."

Riddle smiled: "Yes. If your spell itself is superior to the spell card, you can update the data by taking a photo again."

Baqir narrowed his eyes. "I have another question. You just said that if you hone the meaning and form to perfection, the spell will come alive and be engraved in your heart. But from what I have observed, almost no one is working on this."

"Even Hermione, who is the most serious, is only extremely serious in form."

"Even Dumbledore. From what I've seen in the movies, it's hard to imagine him as the kind of wizard you describe who devotes himself to magic without distractions. He doesn't emphasize the accuracy of technique and the appropriateness of intention like Professor Flitwick does. In short, he doesn't seem like someone who can be changed by magic."

Riddle raised his eyebrows. "It's hard to imagine that this is the observation ability of a college dropout."

"This is the smooth path for wizards who truly learn magic to grow."

"The path that the 'smart people' of Ravenclaw take to learn magic."

"This kind of behavior is called crazy and nerdy by other colleges."

"Like the weak ones in other academies, most of them were infected by the black and white magic that is very active and comes alive as soon as it is cast."

"And the truly powerful ones. Like Dumbledore."

"It is based on the unshakable self."

"Through self-transforming magic. It is not about giving spells a 'soul' and letting them change themselves. It is about having unfounded confidence that makes ordinary spells extraordinary."

"Like your friends, Harry Potter and Ron Weasley. They hardly care about theory. They just believe that when they say the spell, the spell and magical phenomena will occur."

“Sometimes, ignorance is a kind of strength.”

"Like Dumbledore, who believed that love could change everything. His magic was truly unparalleled in power."

At this point, Riddle retched.

"Do you have any more questions?"

"If not, I'm going to go back to my room and talk to my other self."

“It’s a really wonderful feeling.”

Baqir shook his head.

That room refers to the inside of the statue, a room that originally had bookshelves filled with Slytherin's collection of books and materials.

The other him that Riddle mentioned is the original diary Horcrux.
