Chapter 527: The Second Step to Surpassing the Limits of Wizards
After the magic transformation was successful, Andy was no longer so anxious. With the pressure in his heart reduced, Andy felt much more relaxed.
At least he was not so tired.
From mid-March to early April, Andy put most of his energy on learning how ancient wizards controlled magic.
There were no wands in that era, and gesture casting was not perfect.
So if ancient wizards wanted to learn magic, they had to train their magic before the age of ten.
Once they were over ten, they could only be ordinary people with magic.
There was a lot of information in the forbidden book area, and Andy spent a few days studying it carefully.
The experience of ancient wizards in controlling magic is actually related to the power of the mind.
After all, the mind controls magic.
If you want to learn magic, you can't escape the hurdle of the mind.
The key lies in how to guide the magic.
Modern wizards need to use wands to guide magic when casting spells.
If you rely solely on your own mental power, you can't activate the magic in a stable state.
But then again, since the wand can guide magic, it means that the magic of wizards is not as indestructible as "ice".
Or, the magic of adult wizards is just not as active as that of young wizards.
The way ancient wizards guided magic was actually to strengthen the control of magic by the mind through repeated practice, and to reach the level of "mind guiding magic".
Let's take a simple example.
Before the start of the third grade, Harry blew up his aunt without a wand in his hand.
It can be seen that even if wizards do not have a wand, they can forcibly guide magic with the violent fluctuation of the mind power and complete a successful spell.
It's just more difficult.
This is what the ancient wizards practiced.
When the magic is unstable, they will use certain specific emotions to guide the magic. In this process, the magic will gradually adapt to this emotion.
When the magic of ancient wizards is stable, they only need to use this emotion to guide the magic to successfully cast magic.
This is different from the way Andy trained his magic when he was a child.
Andy's training is actually just forcibly mobilizing magic power, and does not involve the application of spiritual power.
"It does mean that the mind and magic are initially integrated..."
In the practice room transformed by the Room of Requirement, Andy sat cross-legged on the ground, holding the notes he had sorted out during this period in his hand, with a thoughtful look on his face.
The more Andy studied magic, the more he felt that behind the complex magic theory, many things are the same.
Ancient magic and modern magic seem to be very different, but in fact, the two sides only have different methods of guiding magic.
In essence, the so-called magic is to use magic to turn the thoughts in your mind into reality.
For example, the cleaning spell.
When you identify the concept of something as "garbage" in your subconscious mind, you can use the cleaning spell to clean it.
As for spells and casting gestures, they are just a way to guide magic.
The same is true for ancient magic.
The difference between the two is the different methods of guiding magic.
After reaching this conclusion, Andy felt that his understanding of magic has deepened.
Today is April 9th, Saturday.
After nearly a month of instability, Andy's magic power returned to a stable state.
Although it was only less than a month, Andy felt that he had made great progress during this period.
It was not an improvement in strength.
But a kind of... opening a door to wandless casting!
In any case, Andy's [Mind] attribute has six points.
Compared with the professors and students in Hogwarts, Andy's mental power is one of the best - if there is no Dumbledore.
So Andy learns all the magic theories involving the concept of mind very quickly.
In particular, Andy has completed the improvement of the Patronus Charm and has initially integrated the mind and magic power. In the field of mind, Andy is the authority in the current magic world.
As for gesture casting, Andy did not learn it.
Although gesture casting is also a kind of wandless casting, the casting speed is too slow, even worse than using a magic wand.
"It seems that I can only stop here for now... It would be better if I could have more time."
The magic power in the body has stabilized, and there will not be much gain if I continue to practice.
After saying that, Andy closed the notebook with a "snap", and then raised his left hand slightly, the notebook flew into the air, and then flew into the pocket of the space extension spell.
"It looks good!" Andy said to himself.
It's different from concealed casting.
Concealed casting means that one hand holds the wand secretly, and then uses the other hand to guide the output direction of the magic.
It looks like wandless casting, but in essence, a wand is still needed.
But just now, Andy didn't use the wand.
But that's all.
The wandless casting of ancient wizards is indeed difficult. With Andy's current progress, there are not many magics that can be used without a wand.
Maybe it's just the level of an ordinary little wizard in the third grade.
Of course, Andy is now qualified to learn real ancient magic.
If ancient magic is cast, the power will be greater.
But whose magic pursues power?
To kill people, it's enough to use the Killing Curse.
If you don't want to use the Unforgivable Curse, the Shattering Curse will also work.
There are too many magics that can kill people.
As for the destructive power... blasting spell, fierce fire spell... these magics are very powerful.
To be honest, when I first started learning magic, Andy did complain that the magic power in the world of "Harry Potter" was too weak, and it was completely incomparable with the magic world in other novels.
But after two years of study, Andy no longer pursues the power of magic.
In other words, he no longer simply pursues the power of magic.
The magic ceiling of this world is very high, and it involves many magical fields.
Time, space, concepts, cause and effect, fate, killing, destruction... You can find any magic field you can think of in this world.
It's just that the potential of wizards is limited.
Andy realized this problem a long time ago.
So what Andy has to do is to break the blockade of potential.
The first step is to transform his body into a magical life through magic.
The second step is to complete the fusion of mind and magic.
At present, Andy has achieved the first step.
The system update is a pleasant surprise.
So what Andy has to do next is to complete the second step.
This month of magic practice has undoubtedly given Andy greater confidence.
Ancient magic may not be as colorful as modern magic, but it is precisely because it is difficult for ancient wizards to cast spells that they will return to the essence of casting spells.
That is, mind control magic!
