Chapter 21 Pandora's Magic Theory

"Modern Spell Theory?"

Andy has a book called "Basic Spell Theory" at home, but the two books are not written by the same person.

Andy looked at the author's name.

Pandora Lovegood!

Surprisingly, she is Andy's neighbor.

When Andy was eight years old, Pandora Lovegood died accidentally in a spell experiment, and Andy went to her funeral with his parents.

Andy flipped through it casually, "Then I'll read this one first. What about you, have you chosen the book you want to read?"

Hermione took a big book from the bookshelf, "The history of magic will start in the afternoon, and I want to learn about the famous wizards in history first."

Andy glanced at it. It was a book introducing all the famous wizards in the past thousand years, and it was the type that Andy would never look at.

"Let's go!" Hermione tilted her head.

Perhaps because the school had just started, there were basically no people in the library. The two found a quiet place and sat down to read quietly.

After flipping through a few pages, Andy found that the library of Hogwarts was really a treasure.

There are many books on the market that introduce the theory of spells. Different authors naturally have different views on spells, and they also focus on different aspects of spells.

The book "Modern Theory of Spells" can be regarded as the general outline of modern spells. It does not specifically explain a certain spell, but explains it based on the things involved in casting spells.

The beginning of this book talks about the influence of emotions on the power of spells.

The use of spells not only requires the recitation of spells and specific gestures, but also requires the emotions of the caster as a match.

In many cases, extreme emotions can even greatly enhance the power of spells.

And the Obscurus mentioned in the book "Study on the Development of Ancient Witchcraft" that Andy had read before is the product of the fusion of the little wizard's negative emotions and magic power.

"It seems that it is necessary to improve the [Mind] attribute." Andy thought to himself.

Many people say that Voldemort is the most powerful dark wizard in a hundred years, and some even call him the most powerful dark wizard in history.

Of course, the statement of "the most powerful in history" is somewhat exaggerated, but Voldemort's power is beyond doubt.

"Is his dark magic so powerful because his mind is completely evil?"

Andy guessed, "The evil mind combined with dark magic can make the power of dark magic stronger."

I'm afraid it's more than that.

So far, Andy only knows that Dumbledore and Voldemort are the ceiling of the magic world, but what is the secret of their power? Andy still has no clue.

But one thing is beyond doubt, their powerful secrets can be found in the restricted area.

Maybe those secrets are hidden in a corner of the book.

Andy calmed down and continued to read the book, and an hour and a half passed in a flash.

"Andy, class will start in fifteen minutes!" Hermione reminded.

"Got it." Andy closed the book.

If possible, Andy even wanted to skip this history of magic class. Unfortunately, this is a required course, and skipping class on the first day of school will leave a bad impression on the professors.

After completing the borrowing procedures with the librarian, Madam Pince, Andy and Hermione left the library.

…

The History of Magic classroom is also on the second floor, so there is no need to deal with those restless stairs.

Ravenclaw takes History of Magic together with Slytherin.

Slytherin College has a bad reputation, and it is all related to Gryffindor.

Not only in the Voldemort incident, but in many major events in the history of the wizarding world, Slytherin has played the role of villain, while Gryffindor is the representative of justice.

This leads to frequent quarrels between students of the two colleges.

Black Slytherin is the daily routine of all Gryffindors.

In Gryffindor's values, if you lose points for fighting with Slytherin students, then you are the hero of the entire college - provided that you must win.

The result of this conflict is that Slytherin generally does not offend Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students.

Because being targeted by one college is enough, they don't want to be targeted by two colleges.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, a pearly white, translucent ghost floated out of the wall.

Professor Binns is a ghost, and he looks very old. According to the official statement: when Professor Binns was still alive, he went to class one day and accidentally left his body in the staff room.

Andy was extremely disappointed with this class.

Many ghosts in the castle are actually quite interesting, but Professor Binns is obviously not like that.

His voice is dry, and he reads the contents of the book in a low and monotonous voice. Everyone in the class is drowsy, occasionally coming back to their senses, writing down a date or a name, and then falling into a semi-sleep state again.

Even Hermione, who loves to study on weekdays, can only force herself to stay awake in Professor Binns' class - Andy has seen her pinching her thigh.

It's really a spirit of hanging the head on the beam and piercing the thigh with a needle.

Andy decided to give up this class.

History of Magic! Give me a pen and I can make history.

This class has no effect on magic. It's enough to read the book before the exam and pass it.

Andy took out the Modern Theory of Spells that he had borrowed from the library and started reading it.

In addition to mentioning the influence of emotions on the power of spells, the book also mentioned a refreshing point of view.

Modern spells are magic invented based on modern language, so what about ancient magic?

Not only that, each country has its own different languages, but different languages ​​can use the same spell.

Does this mean that language and gestures are not necessary factors for casting spells?

The magic power of the little wizard is unstable, but he can make his wishes come true when the magic power bursts out-they don't even need a wand.

Many powerful wizards can cast spells without spells, and can even use some simple magic without a wand.

Does this mean that learning magic, or even using magic proficiently, is just to find our casting instinct?

Of course, the book only mentions this theory, and even the author of this book can't cast spells without a wand.

Andy unexpectedly discovered that the author of this book is similar to himself in many concepts, but it's a pity that the author of this book is dead.

Pandora...

Andy has heard the story of Pandora's Box.

"Is this reminding me not to try it easily?"

There are many things destined in the magic world, and even many prophecies are unexpectedly accurate.

Andy decided to trust in the guidance of fate and never try dangerous magic experiments before his magic level reached a certain level.

"But I can visit Lovegood's house at Christmas!" Andy thought.

"Uh... forget it!"

After all, it is somewhat impolite to rashly mention someone else's dead wife or mother.
