Hogwarts: The Cat Wizard of the Moving Castle
Chapter 18 Magic and Desire
"Now that you can control your own magic to perform some magic tricks, maybe I think we can try combining spells to release some magic." Mu En's voice slowly appeared in the living room.
"Really?!" Harry, who was reading a book on the table, suddenly became excited. A week had passed since he successfully lit a fire for the first time.
Now, driven by his subjective consciousness, he can make a fire, break branches, or make flowers bloom early.
At first, he was a little proud, but later Mr. Lucifer quietly told him that at this age, Uncle Mu En's magic power had been perfectly controlled and he could cast spells all over his body.
I used to lie on the bed and cast spells with my feet and breathe fire from my butt.
Harry didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
Anyway, since then, he has been able to feel the power of Uncle Mu En even more...
"The first spell - to restore the original state." Moon opened the "Standard Spells - Elementary" and pushed it in front of Harry.
【Reparo】
This spell can repair damaged items and return them to their original appearance.
During this time, Harry had read many magic books, so he was naturally familiar with this spell. The book also has detailed notes on the pitch of this spell and the trajectory of the wand.
He carefully looked up at Mu En, and saw the proud cat face nodding, confirming: "That's right, no wand needed, just use your hands."
Well, that's to be expected. Harry was not disappointed, on the contrary, he was very interested. He just wanted a definite answer.
"You can use your hands as a pointer and your glasses as a target," Muen said.
Harry's glasses were very broken. The temples and nose pads were glued together with tape, and there were cracks on the lenses. A perfect target for restoration.
Harry nodded, took off his glasses, put them on the table, and started trying again.
"Recover as before!" Harry waved a finger in front of his eyes and chanted the spell at the same time.
The glasses suddenly jumped twice on the table, and then calmed down again.
"Don't worry, kid." Mu En smiled, stood next to him, and stretched out his hand.
"Pay attention to my movements." He warned, and then recited a spell: "Recover as before!"
Swish--
The tape on Harry's glasses suddenly turned in circles, and a small silver light exploded in the damaged areas of the glasses. The gaps in the lenses began to shrink and then merged into one.
But in the blink of an eye, a brand new pair of glasses appeared. The metal rust on the temples disappeared, and the original broken places had healed. The old tapes had separated from the glasses and were just lying on the table.
"Wow!" Harry couldn't help but exclaimed in admiration. This was the rare time he observed spellcasting in such detail. The feeling of reality being rewritten shocked him greatly.
"Merlin is the founder of modern magic. He combined runes, Latin, and ancient Greek and Egyptian magic texts to lay a solid foundation for modern magic." Mu En slowly introduced.
"Tell me, what are the three elements of modern magic?"
"Gestures, spells and desires!!" Harry shouted. The books he read during this period were not in vain. In addition to spells, transfiguration and potions, he also read many history books.
What Mu En said, "Lake history as a mirror and follow the past as a disciple." has been written on the title page of his notebook.
"What's the most fundamental difference from ancient magic?" Mu En asked again.
Harry thought about this question for a while, and then he said: "Desire!"
"Yes, before the age of Merlin, except for some black magic in ancient Egypt that required malicious intent, most ancient magic was an absolutely rational subject. As runes, formations, or spells that communicate the origin of the world, etc. , there is absolutely no room for error.
Rigorousness was the basic requirement to become an excellent magician in that era.
After Merlin, he pioneered the combination of many knowledges and simplified the magic spells and runes, allowing people to successfully cast spells by reciting only one word or short sentence. "
As he said that, Mu En put his hand on the table and drew runes.
“These simplified spells and gestures act as a skeleton during the casting process.
And our desire to cast spells is used to drive the laws of the world and let them follow the prescribed path of our skeleton to fill our flesh and blood. "
Harry nodded: "I understand."
Mu En nodded, then waved his hand, and with a flash of silver light, the glasses returned to their previous tattered appearance, and the tape was wrapped back.
Facing Harry's astonished expression, Moon smiled: "There's no better training tool than this, is there?"
Harry agreed with a helpless smile: "That's true..."
Although Mu En was exposed to magic in this world for the first time, his vast theoretical knowledge and spell-casting experience had already enabled him to master many simple magics.
However, he did not choose to repair Harry's glasses before, and he did not even care about the many minor damages in the castle. He was waiting for this day.
Apply what you learn, right?
And he's not a babysitter either.
With that said, Harry started practicing again, chanting the incantation over and over again: "Recover as before!"
It went on like this for a long time, and there was no change in his glasses. Harry looked at Moon with some distress, trying to get answers.
Mu En smiled, took out "Modern History of Magic" from the side, then turned to one of the pages and handed it to Harry.
"The answer is in the book." Mu En said.
Harry was a little confused, but he still started reading word by word, trying to find the answer. After a while, he suddenly discovered a sentence.
"...The integration and development of Latin and English has undoubtedly changed the spells. What is certain is that all the spells at this stage are just imitations of ancient spells.
Modern spells are written using Latin letters that have been developed for many years, which undoubtedly causes deviations in the records and true pronunciation of spells.
Therefore, in the study of contemporary spells, we need to abandon our daily usage habits and find the awkward rising and falling tones, pitch differences and changes of sounds, so that we can quickly master a spell..."
Harry's ears suddenly felt a little hot. He had read this page before, but he didn't notice that there was such a record in the book at the time. He was completely attracted by the thrilling stories in history.
"Recover as before——"
Mu En said slowly: "Raise and lower slowly, L in a low tone."
Harry nodded, then looked at his glasses and tried several more times before finally focusing on the cracks in the lenses.
He figured out that if he couldn't fix his glasses in one go, he would do it step by step.
As he chanted the spell again, a small silver light suddenly appeared on the edge of the crack on the spectacle lens and began to move along the crack.
Wherever the silver light passed, the crack disappeared.
Harry raised his glasses and looked at Moon happily: "Uncle Moon, I did it."
Seeing this, Mu En nodded with satisfaction. He could do this with his bare hands. If he was given a guide, he should be able to repair the entire glasses.
If you give him an amplifier and want to repair something big, that's not a problem.
"Not bad." Mu En praised, and then smiled: "But it's not yet close to the real meeting."
"Doesn't it count?" Harry was a little confused. He noticed the 'good fruit smile' on Moon's face.
"If you can repair those old objects in the castle, I will believe you."
