From Hogwarts to Strixhaven

Ivy's research on the Philosopher's Stone can only be described in four words - no progress.

Because every time he took out the Philosopher's Stone, he couldn't help but bite off a little from it and swallowed it into his stomach, so after two or three times, there was no Philosopher's Stone left.

Just like the first time he ate the Philosopher's Stone, the next few times he ate brought Ivy a total of 2 points of physical attribute growth, and he grew taller, even taller than the 16-year-old body more than a hundred years ago, and even almost caught up with Dumbledore.

In addition, new changes appeared on Ivy's character panel.

His wizard career level has reached level 16, and there is now a fourth item below the original three professional characteristics - the Philosopher's Stone.

The Philosopher's Stone is the highest masterpiece of wizards in alchemy, with all kinds of extraordinary special abilities.

Ivy can now spend 8 hours to create a Philosopher's Stone with magical power. He can get the benefits of this stone himself or give it to another creature. As long as a creature holds it, it can get all the abilities it brings.

According to Ivy's current wizard professional level, carrying the Philosopher's Stone now has the following effects.

First, Ivy can see in the dark as if it were daytime.

Second, Ivy is completely immune to toxins.

Finally, Ivy's transfiguration is endowed with outstanding talent by the Philosopher's Stone. As long as he wants, he can even permanently transform an object.

In addition, Ivy can also choose to destroy the Philosopher's Stone and fully release the magical power contained in it to complete several miraculous magical effects.

The first is to turn stone into gold, which is one of the abilities of the Philosopher's Stone. Ivy can convert ordinary metals into gold of the same mass, but the maximum value of gold that can be converted by a Philosopher's Stone is capped at 10,000 gold coins, which is equivalent to 10,000 gold galleons in the wizard world.

Then there is the panacea. Ivy can use all the magic power of the Philosopher's Stone on a single creature to remove all curses, diseases, and toxins from it and restore it to a completely healthy state.

Next is resurrection. The Philosopher's Stone has the ability to break through the boundary between life and death. Ivy can use all its magic power on a dead creature, just like releasing a 5th-level necromancy spell to awaken the dead. When doing so, Ivy will not consume spell slots, and does not need to know this spell.

Although awakening the dead is a 5th-level necromancy spell, Ivy has never seen it in the spell list of the Destruction Grimoire before. Because it does not belong to the spell table of the mage profession, and its regular release method is different from when the mage releases arcane magic, Ivy cannot learn it through the Destruction Grimoire.

The spell of awakening the dead can revive a creature that has been dead for no more than 10 days and has not lost any body parts or organs necessary for survival.

After successfully resurrecting a creature, Awaken the Dead will completely neutralize or cure the toxins and diseases that once affected the creature, but it is ineffective against curses and magical diseases. If the effects of curses and magical diseases are not invalidated or terminated before casting, then after the creature returns from death, he will still suffer those curses and magical diseases as in his last life.

For the resurrected creature, the process of returning from death is quite difficult, so he will suffer this pain for a long time after resurrection, until after a week of complete rest, he can live and fight as before.

Although the spell of Awaken the Dead has many restrictive effects, it is still the least consuming one among the spells that can achieve the resurrection effect. For wizards like Ivy, it is an extremely important backup method.

The last effect of the Philosopher's Stone is rejuvenation, which can make a creature rejuvenated and reduce the target's age by up to 30 years, and the minimum cannot exceed 13 years, but it will not increase his lifespan accordingly.

The only limitation of the Philosopher's Stone is that Ivy cannot make multiple Philosopher's Stones at the same time. Only after one Philosopher's Stone is completely exhausted can the next one be made.

In addition to bringing new professional characteristics to the wizard profession, the magic of the Philosopher's Stone is even linked to Ivy's personal expertise.

After confirming his attribute panel in the Destruction Grimoire, the first expertise Ivy chose was "Material Free Spellcasting", which can exempt some of the materials required for spells, but for some spells with high materials or special requirements, this expertise will not work.

For example, the Soul Cage that Ivy used to imprison Tom's soul fragments before, that spell required a small silver cage, and Ivy melted a lot of silver Sickle to get it done.

Now there is a bracket with Philosopher's Stone written behind the expertise of Spell Free Spellcasting, and the effect has changed from exempting some low-value materials to consuming Philosopher's Stone to replace spell components, which can replace materials worth less than 10,000 gold coins at most, or up to 5,000 experience points.

The only thing that Ivy felt sorry about was that this effect could not be used to exchange for new spells in the Destruction Grimoire.

In any case, Ivy was very satisfied with the new changes brought to him by eating the Philosopher's Stone. If it was regarded as the salary Dumbledore gave Ivy as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, it was equivalent to a job with a daily salary of 10,000 gold galleons, and it was paid daily.

Not to mention that this job also brought Ivy many miraculous effects, which was equivalent to a monkey version of wishing.

And Ivy's wizard career level has reached level 16, which means there is a new specialty for him to choose, and he has long had an option that he has been looking forward to.

With almost no hesitation, Ivy obtained the specialty of "Multi-talented Spellcaster" in the Destruction Grimoire.

The effect of the multi-talented spellcaster is only one, that is, it allows Ivy to combine two low-level spell slots into a spell slot that is one level higher than them.

Combined with the large number of low-level spell slots that Ivy has obtained by relying on the ancient magic affinity feature, he can call himself a high-level spell turret in the future!

Because the work of the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is too busy and too miscellaneous, Ivy can't find more than 8 hours of free time to make the Philosopher's Stone except for the time to sleep at night.

So on Friday morning, everyone who came to the auditorium for dinner saw Professor Victor walk into the auditorium with bloodshot eyes and a pale face.

Ivy even heard some students discussing his identity: "Professor Victor looks really bad, is he a vampire?"

"You don't know?" Another student was fussing over his companion's ignorance, making Ivy a little curious about what rumors about him were circulating in the castle.

Ivy slowed down and heard the Hufflepuff say: "Professor Victor is the vampire who has been chasing Professor Quirrell! Remember? At the beginning of last semester, Professor Quirrell told everyone that he was being chased by a vampire!"

No mistake, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

"What?" This sentence completely expressed Ivy's thoughts, "Then Dumbledore also hired him as a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts?"

"Oh, that's Dumbledore after all, the most famous white wizard of this century. Even if he lets a centaur or a zombie teach us one day, I won't be surprised." The Hufflepuff who rumored that Professor Victor was a vampire shrugged and said.

"Centaurs and zombies? What can they teach us?" Another student sounded terrified.

"Astronomy, right? Or how to crawl out of a coffin after death?"

Ivy sat down at the staff table, calmed down, and finally decided to give all grades an extra lesson on how to identify vampires.

Just as he was trying to recall the content about vampires in the textbook, an owl brought him a message.

It was written in a rough and sloppy handwriting: "You are going to be a grandfather!"

Ivy immediately understood that the message came from Hagrid, but his handwriting was so big that even Professor McGonagall, who passed by behind Ivy, saw it.

She said in surprise: "I didn't expect your children to be married, Professor Victor, do you need me to ask you for leave for Dumbledore?"

Ivy's face twitched, and he shook his head and said: "Don't bother, I can handle it."

Professor McGonagall nodded in understanding, and said gently: "Oh, if you need anything, please be sure to tell me. Okay, Professor Victor?"

"Of course... of course." What else can Ivy say besides this sentence?

This was all because he forgot to block the magic of the Calling Spell, which resulted in the owl carrying the letter to "Ivy Doom" being able to easily find "Professor Victor".
