Chapter 6 Items in the Storage Compartment (Modified, Typos Have Been Corrected)

At the dinner table the next day, Allen saw his elder brother Albert.

After saying good morning to each other, Albert, who was a member of the Quidditch school team at school, was the first to ask: "Alan, I heard you won a handful of Neptune? Can I use it for a test flight later?"

"Of course, Albert."

"Alan performed really well. This morning's "Daily Prophet" also reported on Allen's award-winning process. It's really amazing." Owen flicked the newspaper in his hand, pointed to the actually small area and said—— But fortunately, a photo was added to make it more presentable.

"Father, show me." Lenn took the words and stretched out his hand to his father's newspaper.

"I want it too, I want it too." Emily has turned into her brother's little fan girl, and ran to her father to see it too.

"Emily, can you understand?" Lun teased his sister wickedly.

"I don't understand, but there is a picture of Alan on it." Emily replied confidently.

Owen simply handed the newspaper to Lun and asked him to read it to his sister.

It described how he won the award, and attached a large photo. In the photo, Allen was holding Neptune and smiling, and the freckles on Ron's face next to him were clearly discernible.

"Eat, eat." Mrs. Harris directed the breakfast to everyone in a good mood.

"Roasted tomatoes, soybeans in tomato sauce, fried eggs with ham and bacon, porridge, mom, you even made some Bavarian sausages with sauerkraut, it's very rich!" the little sister Emily sighed contentedly.

Allen viciously forked a mouthful of white sausage with sauerkraut. At least he found it easier to swallow than the local British dishes, but he couldn't help but feel hopeless about his future diet.

After breakfast, Allen returned to his room under the pretext of doing homework, locked the door and opened the storage space.

The storage space was displayed in front of Allen, and there are now four items in it. A parchment scroll tied with a blue string, a wizard's robe, and two books.

Alan already knew that the sheepskin scroll was the "Halo of the Scholar", so Alan chose to take out the wizard robe.

There is no doubt that this is a gorgeous wizard's robe. The black velvet fabric is very smooth, and the mysterious black light is looming.

"What is the function of this robe?"

Just thinking of this, a function introduction appeared under the storage compartment corresponding to the robe.

"Miao Miao wizard's robe!" As soon as he saw the name, Allen couldn't help complaining, it's really a cute name, and there is a risk of being sent a lawyer's letter...

Miaomiao Wizard's Robe: Can automatically adjust to a certain size (adjustable from a medium humanoid figure to a small or large humanoid figure). Change into any clothing you want, with automatic decontamination magic to clean up, invisibility magic (you can use the illusion spell three times a day, and each spell can last for half an hour if it is not actively canceled or canceled by the anti-spell, The number of uses is restored every eight hours), and like the skin of the horned camel and the manticore, it has good resistance to ordinary spells.

To be on the safe side, Allen immediately took off all the clothes on his body, and put on this wizard robe. The smooth touch comforted the skin, and it was as light as if his body was naked, and the empty and free state of his lower body made him a little uncomfortable.

Allen thought for a while, and changed the Miaomiao wizard robe into the clothes he just wore. He poured a cup of black tea on his body. The water stains were very clear. There is no feeling of discomfort, and there is a thin film to isolate the water vapor. This is the same function as Daisy's most expensive robes bought at Mrs. Malkin's Robe Shop, which have been imbued with various spells. They spill on clothing, so the thermostatic feature, which is preferred by most other wizards, is not as important as this ability,

Know that something magical is not so easily cleaned up.

The idea of ​​"cleaning up a new one" changed, and the robe, which was still wet just now, dried instantly, and there was no water stain at all.

The whole body of clothing has become clean and tidy, as if the collar of the shirt that has been ironed stands upright on the neck, and the clothes are properly worn on the body.

Allen chose the Encyclopedia. This book is very thick, and the vermilion cover is decorated with a compass-like decoration. This is a combination disk, which can set a seven-digit password. Allen thought of the number 7 in Harry It is special in the Potter world, so set it to "7777777".

Open the cover, and the first article that emerges is a general introduction to the spell. A row of silver letters with no discernible region on the pale yellow thin parchment automatically changes to modern English spelling.

Spells refer to magical acts that mobilize the magical power of the wizarding world to achieve some effect that ordinary people cannot achieve, such as levitating objects, creating fire out of thin air, or stunning a person. Charms are usually done through incantations. The use of spells usually produces physical phenomena such as glowing, so they can usually be dodged, staggered, or blocked by objects (including another spell). The act of using a spell is often called "casting" or "administering".

Generally, three conditions are required for the successful casting of a spell: waving the wand, the spell, and concentration. If the wand is not swung in the correct way, the spell is said incorrectly, or the mind cannot be concentrated during the casting of the spell, the spell will fail to be cast or will backfire. It should be pointed out that spells can be executed without chanting spells and wands through silent and wandless spells, which is more difficult than chanting spells and using wands.

Allen knew that these methods would not be taught to users at the beginning of the school, but until the students' level reached a certain level. For example, silent spells would be taught when they were in the sixth grade at Hogwarts. Famous users of silent spells include Albus Dumbledore, You-Know-Who, and Severus Snape, who also use wandless spells with no less power and effect, but usually slightly Talented wizards can only use these advanced skills to cast some simple spells.

Most spells in the British wizarding world are of Latin origin, but there are also spells of English origin. Figuratively, the distinction between Transfiguration and Charmology is analogous to the distinction between form and function, or matter and energy. The former focuses on the "what" of the object (its form - Metamorphology), the latter on "what it does" (its function - Charmology). During the casting of a spell, it is usually accompanied by the generation of light, which shoots from the tip of the wand to the target. For example, fainting will emit a red light, and Avada Kedavra will emit a green light. Of course, there are also some spells that have no visible intermediate effects, such as Flying and Silent. Some people cast spells and make noises when they are cast, but this is usually a characteristic of people with lower levels-this reminds Allen of Harry Potter in the original plot. Great work, this is obviously not the style of a master.

Usually, the casting of spells has a certain time limit. This means that the effect brought by the magic will disappear after a certain period of time. For example, a weapon that kills you is only effective at the moment of casting, while stunned and petrified will last for a long time. Counterspells can also end certain spells. Furthermore, the effects of most spells disappear when the caster dies, with the exception of some permanent spells cast in special ways, such as those in Hogwarts Castle that were cast or constructed by the founders.

At the end of this preface, it specifically reminded wizards that although wizards can invent new spells, this is a hidden difficulty and danger. Allen knew that Severus Snape, a student, invented spells during his time at Hogwarts. There are several spells, but Luna's mother, Pandora Lovegood, once died because of a big mistake in the process of magic experiments, so he is not arrogant enough to learn to run instead of walking in a short time to create New spells, even if you want to do this, you have to wait for the foundation to be solid before it will come into being.

After that, the Encyclopedia of Spells entered the main topic, listing the general classification of spells. And note that it should be noted that the degree of independence between categories is still unknown. In other words, generally a spell can only belong to one category, but there may be certain spells that can belong to different categories at the same time. For example, petrification is the most advanced kind of black magic, but it is also a kind of transfiguration; Fiendfyre is both a curse and a curse. And many healing spells are both enchantments and polymorphs.

The catalog is divided into Transfiguration, Charms, Hexes, Hexes, Curses, Counter Curses, and Healing Spells.

The defining function of Transfiguration is to change the form or appearance of an object. This category of spells can be subdivided into true Transfiguration spells, where an existing object is altered, and Summoning spells, where the desired object is conjured out of thin air. . Example: Animagus, a wizard who can transform himself into an animal while retaining his sanity and magical powers.

The defined function of a charm is to change the original properties of an object, that is, its behavior and capabilities. Charms usually have longer-lasting effects when cast by an experienced caster. Example: All Arms - Disarm, the reason for this category is that this spell changes the subject (opponent) from the wand by separating them from "armed" to "disarmed".

The defining function of a jinx is minor black magic; the effects of a jinx are usually annoying but amusing, usually for the purpose of teasing and slightly inconveniencing the target. In addition, some curses can only be maintained by gazing and focusing. Example: Impedimental—an impediment spell that somewhat impedes the subject's movement.

The defining function of a hex is to always have a negative effect on the subject, having more of the same connotations as black magic than a jinx. The main purpose is to inconvenience the target. Example: Grin Hula La - A curse that causes continuous laughter.

The defining function of a curse is the worst kind of black magic, intended to exert a strong negative influence on a subject. Avada Kedavra - Also known as the Death Curse or Killing Curse, kills the victim.

The defined function of a counterspell suppresses the effect of another spell. Counterspells are a mysterious type of spell without much elaboration. There are currently known six types: jinx-breaking curses, curse-breaking curses, spell-breaking curses, restoration, anti-jinxes, and other counter-curses. Although the nomenclature is very complicated, their common feature is to suppress another spell. Example: All Curses End (Curse Standing), a counterspell widely applicable to common spells.

The defining function of a healing spell is to restore or improve the health of a living subject. Example: Healed As New - Heals minor injuries.

After reading the classification of spells, Allen was a little puzzled. According to his previous understanding, among the magic schools in the world, only Durmstrang's is tolerant of black magic and is known for teaching them, but now it looks like it's all petrified. It is also planned as a curse and is black art, why can Hogwarts students learn it? And the normal way of this petrification spell can be found in "Curse and Anti-Curse" by Wendick Wenridian. So Durmstrang's black magic refers to those magics that are more harmful, and Hogwarts is more tolerant of these dark magics that are not strong enough and will not cause serious consequences? (Author's note: After copying the book review from the book reviewer, the author went to the official website and wiki to find additional additional information, and found that JK Rowling actually defined all the petrification that Hermione used against Neville in the first grade as curses. No brainer.)

Randomly clicked on the spell classification, and then chose a spell at random.

It shows: Commonly used lock-picking spells - Alahoo Cave Open.

There are the main points of the spell on it, and on the next page, there is a long-haired woman in a robe who seems to be made of shadows, repeatedly and tirelessly demonstrating the waving movements that the wand should have. The pronunciation of spells is provided, which is convenient for the viewers to master the pronunciation of spells.

Although this woman made of shadows feels a bit weird, this function is really very practical.

Allen pressed the surprise in his heart, and opened the book "Spell Application Strategy" that he got yesterday.

The dark blue leather cover was also transformed into modern English silver text, and the table of contents marked the page numbers of various simple spells.

Interestingly, the page number is not fixed, and occasionally a new spell pops up, and the introduction includes information such as what book this spell comes from, who the author is, and so on. Allen guessed based on the information he read in the newspaper a few days ago and the last few spells in the catalog: someone might have published a new spell book, and this book will be automatically entered.

Allen found the magic spell he just found on the encyclopedia: a commonly used lock-unlocking spell-Alahoo hole opening.

Summary: There are many ways in the wizarding world to get you through a locked door (see Fire, Digging, and Smashing), but if you want to stay out of the way, the Unlocking Charm is your best friend. Also known as the Thief's Friend, it is a spell that can open locked doors and windows that are not protected by magic. This spell can also be used to open doors locked by a locking spell. History: The Lockpicking Charm first appeared in Africa, but it's not clear who first invented it. The spell was brought to England by Elton Esric in the 17th century and spread throughout the world. Esric began to use this new spell to do evil in London. Whether it was a Muggle house or a wizard's house, he robbed it all. Until the Londoner Bragdon Burley invented a new member for the anti-unlocking spell-the anti-alahoo hole opening spell.

Before "alahoo opening", the most popular lockpicking spell was "door opening", which shattered the lock but sometimes left a smoking hole in the keyhole. Earlier, there was "Open Sesame Door", which directly tore the door off the hinge and chopped it into firewood. All of these spells seem very crude, not as subtle as "Arajo Hole".

This spell has been included in several books, including Standard Spells, Beginners. Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry teaches this spell in first year.

The method of using the spell, the waving technique of the wand, and related counter-spells are also marked below in the form of text. Finally, an example is given to tell readers in the form of cases recorded in books on the history of magic, on what occasions someone used this spell.

While reading the case, Allen had a deeper understanding of the magic world.

Not just spells, but also social customs and customs.

In this way, for the rest of the vacation, Allen was eagerly reading these two books, and the words had been firmly remembered in Allen's mind, but Allen still needed to digest and understand those audio-visual materials—— The only thing he feels a little pity is that these two books are more biased towards the application level and have no specific research and development theoretical knowledge.

"Alan, can you dictate some words for me? The Muggle school is about to start, and I won't see you for most of the day." Emily knocked on Alan's door.

"Come in, Emily." As an excellent teacher, Alan is also happy to tutor this Emily who is very close to him.

After dictating the words, Allen tried hard and taught Emily some associative memory methods, whether she could understand or not, instilled some Muggle logical thinking concepts in her, and trained the little guy's memory ability—pure The children of blood wizards almost all receive basic education at home, which makes it more difficult for them to study texts at the beginning of school than Muggles and half-blood wizards.

Sending the reluctant sister back to the room, Ellen also has to prepare for the start of the Muggle school, the first thing is homework.

After reading the books required for homework, Allen took a little effort to read all the textbooks. It is really a simple matter to complete all the homework according to the homework registration book, especially for the difficulty of the British primary school textbooks. explain.

"It should be an easy thing to be a top student among this group of students!"
