Hogwarts doesn't need a savior

No one knows where it comes from or where it goes, it is just like air, naturally spreading around everyone.

"The Light Mantra of the Persian Plateau originates from Ahura, the god of light in Persian mythology. It is said to have once possessed terrifying power, but it has now been lost, leaving only the power of light."

Lin En spoke in a gentle voice without any emotion, and then asked:

"So, can anyone tell me what the difference is between this and Lumos?"

Chapter 71: Wisdom

"It's composition, professor."

Luna raised her hand lightly. She was the only one who anticipated the strong light and covered her eyes in advance.

"Fluorescence."

She picked up the wand and waved it gently in the air. A bright ball of light condensed at the tip, small but solid.

This is one of the simplest magics, the lighting spell.

The young wizards around looked at her, wanting to hear the opinions of this youngest schoolmate.

"The Illumination Spell turns magic power into light, which then illuminates the surroundings. The Light Spell is not magic power, it is like a certain rule."

These silvery eyes can always see things that ordinary people cannot perceive, as if they were in another perspective.

The melodious tone expounded concepts that the little wizards had no idea of.

"Rules?" Penelope beside Percy frowned and looked suspiciously.

"Luna has a pair of eyes that all wizards would envy." Lynn said approvingly, "But this spell is not the rule itself, at least not now."

"What is it then?" asked Hermione.

"It's matter, matter masquerading as rules."

Lin En waved his finger in the air, and countless points of light were absorbed by the magic power and gradually dimmed.

It turned into dust that is difficult to see with the naked eye.

“It lights up the dust?” Doris asked curiously. “Like turning on a light?”

"No, that involves its origin."

Lynn crossed her hands on the table and spoke softly.

"It is the magic of a wizard community that still maintains the custom of traveling when I traveled to the Persian Plateau five years ago."

"This is one of their only remaining heritages, passed down to this day along with the mythological stories."

"In the eternal struggle between the gods of good and evil, the gods of good created matter and tinted it with light."

"like this."

The ball of light condensed again, but did not rise into the air, but landed on the parchment where Hermione was taking notes.

In the gentle fluctuations, the parchment seemed to become a light source, radiating golden light.

"Is this... paint?" Hermione blinked, recalling the scene when she was a child watching her father paint the exterior walls.

"It's not paint." Luna shook her head. "It's an initiator, like a flame and firewood..."

Lin En smiled brightly and said appreciatively, "That's a good metaphor, Luna. This is the form of magic I want to show you today, a higher level of magic use."

Boyce raised his hand and asked, “I’m sorry, professor, I don’t understand how this is so advanced.”

"Boyce... I remember I suggested that you review the fourth-year Charms textbook carefully." Lynn's smile became a little more bitter. "There is a very important point in it, Percy."

Percy immediately repeated it word for word: "Magic power is the source of magic, the basic condition for the realization of spells, and the basic condition for the strength of spells."

"Using Luna's example again, your magic should be both a flame and firewood. Usually, Transfiguration is the only exception, so Transfiguration is called the most complex and sometimes the most powerful magic."

Lynn looked at Boyce with helplessness yet partiality and explained patiently.

Boyce is not stupid, otherwise he would not have been called to the duel arena by Lynn to receive guidance.

He simply used his intelligence completely in the practice and application of magic, just like one of his second-year classmates.

After hearing Lynn's explanation, the Hufflepuff prefect immediately clapped his hands in sudden realization.

But soon, he had a new confusion: "But this spell looks very ordinary? Since it is a power of this level, there should be more... more..."

"More significant," Cedric said for him.

"This is exactly why I chose it as the first spell." Lin En said with a smile, "Because it is incomplete, or even just a fragment of ancient magic, so you can learn and understand it quickly."

"Oh..." The little wizards groaned in frustration. They were hit hard by the truth.

"It is normal to learn magic from the basics to the advanced. This applies to everyone, including the strongest geniuses." Lynn said seriously, and then he snapped his fingers, and the hanging lamp lit up again.

"Is that true for you?" asked a fifth-year Slytherin.

"I feel the same way, but this example is from a Gryffindor senior." Lynn's tone was full of reminiscence. "Her talent for ancient magic is one of the only ones I've ever seen in my life. It can even destroy the most powerful wizards."

His words aroused the curiosity of the young wizards, but no matter how hard they thought, they could not find any information.

Even Hermione and Percy had no clue.

But Lin En didn't intend to tell a story. He collected his thoughts and said calmly: "If you are interested, you can look for it yourself. The purpose of telling you this is to let you understand that magic exploration should be carried out step by step. And... who said it is really ordinary?"

Doris asked excitedly, "Does it have other forms?"

"No." Lin En denied it straightforwardly, and when the little witch was dejected, he changed the subject, "But the function of light is not as simple as you think."

As he spoke, he stood up and walked to the other side of the spacious room - a fully equipped training ground.

"The use of the luminous spell has always been very narrow. It's just lighting. At best, it can suddenly emit strong light during a battle to catch the opponent off guard. What other uses can it have? You all think so, right?" Lin En asked loudly, standing next to a tall dummy.

The young wizards nodded repeatedly, especially Boyce and Doris, the two dueling maniacs. Only Luna held her chin with one hand, looking thoughtful.

"This is a fixed mindset." Lin En patted the dummy. "It's not a mistake, but sometimes it makes you lose your divergent thinking."

"Om-"

Before he could finish his words, the dummy's body began to tremble as he hit it, and its dull eyes suddenly lit up.

"ah!"

Doris screamed, hurriedly covered her eyes, and instinctively leaned against Boyce.

Her eyes were just facing the dummy.

The fake eyes seemed to contain some kind of magic, causing her eyes to sting.

Then, the little wizards cried out in pain. Everyone felt the "power" of the dummy's gaze, as if a ball of fire passed by their eyes. There was no harm, but it was painful.

They looked at Lin En in confusion, not knowing what he meant.

"Sight can sometimes be a medium for magic. It can travel through space silently and is difficult to resist. For example, Legilimency, a mental spell that many people fear, relies on the intersection of sight. Luna, you should have seen that, right?"

Facing confused looks, his eyes fixed on Luna.

From the beginning, this girl seemed calmer than everyone else.

"Yes, Professor." She slowly stood up, looked around at the people sitting around the round table, and said softly, "The Light Charm can disrupt this kind of magic hidden in sight, because it happens to appear in the trajectory of all sights."

As she spoke, she raised her wand and a tiny ball of light floated up with some difficulty.

As the light dissipated, the stinging gaze gradually softened until it returned to complete calm.

After just two observations, she was able to master the secret of this simple magic without any instruction.

"Well done, Luna!" Lin En clapped her hands in approval. "This is another use of the Light Spell, invisible protection. Perhaps one day in the future, you will realize its effect. Now, I think we can try it together, and... explore some new knowledge about the use of magic based on it."

He gave Hermione a meaningful look, and then greeted everyone who was still seated.

Chapter 72 Quest

The Light Spell is not a complicated spell. There are no incantations, and even the operation of magic power is simple and direct.

As a broken ancient magic, it might be simpler than many modern spells and has almost no learning threshold.

This is also the reason why Luna was able to figure out the principle and reproduce it in a short period of time.

Under Lynn's personal guidance and demonstration, every little wizard mastered it within half an hour.

A dozen or so light balls of various sizes floated back and forth, and the soft light illuminated everyone's face.

The dummy was also surrounded, its eyes flickering, and the little wizards who were never tired of trying it out were having a lot of fun.

Under the interference of the Light Spell, the weakened version of the Eye Disease Spell no longer poses any threat.

Restless Doris and Boyce even began testing the limits of interference - with their own eye-sickness spells.

As expected, the beginner-level Light Charm was completely unable to stop the spell when it was cast at full power.

Spells were fired at each other, and both men fell to the ground, covering their eyes and rolling back and forth, causing a lot of laughter.

Lynn, who was explaining the principle of luminescence to Hermione and Luna, was also startled and looked up.

-----------------

"Hurry up and get up. You are too old to be ashamed." Lin En lifted the eye curse for both of them. He was angry and amused. "Doris, why are you trying to die with him?"

"It's just an experiment. It's not dangerous anyway." Doris curled her lips.

The slightly aggrieved look was very lethal, and Lin En could only say helplessly: "What if I'm not here? Are you guys so careless to use yourself as an experiment?"

"Aren't you right next to us? You're just giving them special treatment and are biased!" Doris stuck out her tongue, looked away, and stepped hard on Boyce.

Boyce understood immediately and said seriously: "We have learned the spell, but there is no follow-up task, so we will just... give it a try!"

"You two... I didn't give them special treatment. They came to me on their own initiative." Lynn sighed and pointed at Percy and Penelope who were talking to each other in the corner. "Look, this is the state of research. Find the problem by yourself and think of countermeasures."

"Oh……"

"But you are not idle either. It is equally important to understand the limits of spells." After tapping their heads, Lin En changed the subject and said, "The Light Spell is an incomplete spell. It is missing many key parts, so the upper limit is not high. Even if you master it, you cannot completely block those truly advanced spells."

"Then isn't it a bit useless?" Boyce touched his nose, "You won't give us useless magic... In other words, is there a way to fill this gap?"

"That's true, Boyce." Lynn said approvingly, "but it's more than that. The Light Spell is just a start. I want you to understand the mechanisms of ancient magic more deeply and truly master them."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands gently, and the little wizards around him immediately put down what they were doing and gathered around him.

"Everyone has already mastered this magic, but has anyone ever thought about the unique way it uses magic?" Lin En asked with a smile.

"It consumes less energy." The fourth-year Ravenclaw girl said without hesitation.

"Miss Field is right. Anything else?" He looked around encouragingly.

“It’s easier and more direct to cast.”

"More flexible and more sophisticated than the Illumination Charm."

“It is more adaptable to the environment and can be effective anywhere.”

The answers came out one by one from the mouths of the little wizards. They started as individual answers, then turned into a discussion, and even a small debate caused by differences.

The collision of viewpoints is also a source of inspiration. Lynn stood aside silently and observed quietly.

Rather than one-way teaching, he prefers the process of constant interaction and finding answers.

In his last two years at Beauxbatons, many of his students had already acquired this quality.

The young wizards at Hogwarts still need some time to accumulate and train.

The club is the right occasion.

-----------------

The lively discussion soon lasted for more than half an hour, and the excited little wizard was completely unaware of the passage of time.

When the topic became more intense, they simply sat on the ground and picked up their wands to demonstrate on the spot.

New and interesting ideas emerge in an endless stream.

Some are well-reasoned and well-cited, like Percy and Hermione.

Some are fanciful, like Luna and Boyce.

Some also incorporate novel thinking, taking into account the myths behind the spells.
