Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

Andy: "..."

OK!

Andy waved his wand and summoned the fat cat patronus again.

Mr. Capone looked at the fat cat Patron Saint with fascination, "Filius, it looks like a work of art, right? It's a perfect fusion of soul and magic."

"This is a miracle!"

"I always thought this was a legend, but I didn't expect that someone could actually do it."

Is this person crazy?

Andy and Hermione looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.

"that……"

Andy said, "Professor Flitwick, can I publish my paper?"

Andy is in a hurry to eat!

Mr. Carbone said, "Of course! Mr. Collins, your paper can certainly be published. And I guarantee that you will be the headline of all newspapers in the next month."

Professor Flitwick said with a smile, "Don't worry, Mr. Collins. Carl is very obsessed with spells. In order to explore ancient spells, he went on adventures to many places when he was young."

"If he wasn't old, he wouldn't be sitting in his office drinking coffee."

An ancient spell?

If you say that, then I'm not hungry anymore.

"Mr. Carbon, have you seen a lot of ancient magic?" Andy was as polite as a good boy.

"Of course, of course I've seen it."

Mr. Carbon said, "No matter in which era, the mind and magic are important research topics. The disarming spell you cast earlier used the power of the mind, right?"

"Of course!"

"When you see your Patronus, you will know that your research on the power of the mind has reached an extremely advanced level."

Andy nodded, and then asked, "Have you read my paper? I think the Patronus Charm is a magic invented by ancient wizards based on the Obscurus. Do you think my point of view is correct?"

Mr. Carbon: “…”

This is a bit embarrassing!

Generally speaking, the review work of a magazine is initially done by ordinary editors, and then it is handed over to the editor-in-chief for further review.

So... Mr. Carbon didn't see Andy's paper, he just saw Professor Flitwick's letter and then ran to Hogwarts impatiently.

Because he thought Professor Flitwick would not lie to him.

"Of course, your point is correct."

Mr. Carbone said calmly, "When the magic power was still unstable, negative emotions suppressed the magic ability, thus giving birth to the dark parasitic magic power of Obscurus."

"That is a very powerful dark magic force, and wizards will certainly study it."

"It's just that by the time we were able to use magic freely, our magic power had already completely stabilized, so those ancient wizards only developed the Patronus Charm."

Andy looked at Mr. Carbone with some surprise.

This was the first time someone agreed with Andy's point of view. Even Professor Flitwick only thought that this point of view was reliable.

No! This is not agreement, he has seen the same point of view elsewhere.

As if seeing Andy's doubts, Mr. Carbon smiled and explained: "I have been to many ancient ruins, which are protected by magic... It is dangerous, but also very rewarding."

"I have said before that mind and magic are important research topics in any era."

At this point, Mr. Carbon glanced at Andy.

"As you become more and more proficient in silent spellcasting, do you feel that you can perform some kind of magic whenever you want?"

"You don't need to chant spells or make specific gestures. You just need to 'think' about it and you can complete a magic?"

Hearing this, Hermione turned around and looked at Andy. Is Andy already so powerful?

Andy nodded.

Andy had this feeling a long time ago.

Neither spells nor gestures are necessary conditions for casting spells. There is actually only one real condition for casting spells - that is thinking!

Professor Flitwick said, "Remember the scene when magic burst out when you were a child? Without a wand or a spell, you could do many magical things."

"Learning magic is actually just about regaining our spellcasting instincts!"

Hermione asked the first question, "Professor, if learning magic is just about getting back our spellcasting instinct...then how did we lose our spellcasting instinct?"

Mr. Carbon said, "This is about the relationship between the mind and magic."

At this point Mr Carbon glanced at Professor Flitwick.

After all, Flitwick is the professor, and he can't steal Flitwick's limelight at this time.

"Carl, go ahead!" Professor Flitwick didn't care about this kind of thing.

"OK then!"

Mr. Carbon explained: "The mind controls magic! When magic is unstable, the mind and magic can be more easily integrated together."

"And when the two merge, we can use any magic we want."

"This is the explosion of magic power!"

"When the magic power gradually stabilizes, it will be difficult for the mind to influence the magic power. At this time, we need some other means."

"Like...spells and hand gestures."

"To put it simply... the mind is the wind and magic is the water. The wind can move the water, but it cannot move the ice."

Mr. Carbone finally added: "Of course, this is just a metaphor, you just need to understand the meaning."

Andy nodded. This was so easy to understand.

only……

"Mr. Carbon, why do positive emotions and negative emotions have different effects on magic?" Andy asked.

Chapter 237 Ghost Remnant Soul and Life

In the magic system, emotions originate from the mind, and both positive and negative emotions have different effects on magic power.

Andy was very curious. If he solved this secret, would he be able to explore the essence of magic?

"Aha!"

Mr. Carbone smiled and explained, "Pouring red and black paint into water will of course produce different effects. Mr. Collins, the mind affects the magic, but the magic also affects the mind in turn."

Andy nodded in understanding.

Although Mr. Carbon did not give Andy the answer he wanted to hear, the nature of magic has been an unsolved mystery in the wizarding world for thousands of years, and Andy did not have much hope.

Andy also discovered that Mr. Carl Carbon was very suitable to be a professor. His explanation of magic was easy to understand, even poor students could understand it.

It would be nice if Mr. Carbon could come to Hogwarts to teach.

"I know what you want to ask."

Mr. Carbon continued, "As we delve deeper into magic, we find that the mind, will, and even thinking can affect the performance of magic."

"These concepts actually come from our thoughts, or... from our souls."

"Well...there are a lot of ghosts living in Hogwarts, right?"

Andy nodded quickly, as if he had grasped something in his mind, but the idea flashed away.

This made Andy eager to hear Mr. Carbon's next answer.

"Have you ever seen a ghost perform magic?" Mr. Carbon asked with a smile.

"No!" Andy shook his head.

Having said that, Andy knew that Voldemort's soul could actually use magic.

"But ghosts have magical powers!"

Mr Carbone said: "Without magic, ghosts wouldn't exist."

"If you have ever communicated with ghosts, you will find that ghosts have memories, they can think, they can talk, they can even be happy, angry, and sad..."

"Except for the lack of a body, a ghost looks no different from a living person."

Andy frowned slightly, thinking about the difference between ghosts and living people - judging from memory, emotions, and thinking alone, there seems to be no difference between ghosts and living people.

This also confirms what Mr. Carbon said before.

Concepts such as mind, thinking, will, and memory all originate from our soul.

Hermione was also concentrating on thinking about what the difference was between ghosts and living people.

"Yes, there is no difference!"

Mr. Carbone smiled and said, "It's just that... they are already dead. Yes, the ghosts lost their lives. And life is the most important thing to the living."

That feeling came back.

Andy seemed to have grasped something, but also seemed to have grasped nothing.

life……

Compared to the ghost, although Voldemort only has a remnant soul left, he is not actually dead in the true sense.

The Horcruxes prevented this.

Voldemort only lost his body, and his current state is between life and death - that is a very special state.

Voldemort did not lose his life...

So, is that why he can use magic?

But what is life?

Physical life?

Obviously not, since Voldemort has lost his body.

Is a wizard's spellcasting ability related to life?

Professor Flitwick smiled at this and said, "Well, Carl. These questions are still too early for them."

"I don't think so, Filius."

Mr. Carbone said seriously: "Mr. Collins is an excellent wizard. Even if I don't tell him, he will soon study this field."

Andy quickly said, "Yes, Professor Flitwick, I want to know the answer to this question."

Mr. Carbone glanced at Professor Flitwick complacently, and then said, "Then I'm afraid I'll disappoint you, Mr. Collins."

“Because I don’t know what the answer to the question is.”

Andy: "..."

I've taken off my pants, and you're just going to show me this?

But I have to say that today's topic gave Andy a new understanding of magic and magic.

life!

What influence does this attribute, which is not on the system panel, have on magic?

Ghosts and Voldemort's remaining soul...is also a topic worth studying.

Mr. Carbone said, "Your Professor Flitwick stopped me because he was afraid that what I said might interest you."

"There are too many great wizards in history who wasted their time on this problem, but in the end achieved nothing."

"Ghosts have magical powers but cannot use magic. What an interesting research topic!"

After a pause, Mr. Carbon continued, "Actually, I have a guess: it is magic that replaces life and maintains the existence of ghosts."

"Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You can just listen to it casually, but don't take it as a golden saying. Hahaha——"

Magic replaces life and maintains the existence of ghosts?
