Hogwarts: Wizards of Eternity

Those who have deeply understood history know that there are no coincidences in history.

All seemingly accidental events have hidden connections behind them, foreshadowing for miles, every drink and peck, predestined.

Before every 'result', there must be a 'cause'.

Why did the combination of a Boggart and a nuisance fly give birth to a Fear Demon, and not some other creature like an invisible Boggart?

Why didn't the combination of a magical creature and a magic mushroom give birth to a mushroom with flesh, or a special species like a cordyceps fungus parasitic on ants, but something so similar to a Warhammer Greenskin Orc?

A moment of doubt stirred Roger's past memories.

The book 'Ritual Magic is Far More Than Blood Sacrifice' mentions that some wizards have verified that the sun, moon, and stars have magical mystery because people believe the sun, moon, and stars are special.

Magic and the thoughts of all living beings are intertwined. Under the construction of the sea of subconsciousness, world-class rituals last forever, thus giving birth to many magical creatures.

Dragons have magical resistance because people believe they can resist magic to a certain extent.

Various alchemical artifacts also possess power far exceeding ordinary alchemical items because of the belief of all living beings.

Around 1400 AD, the global population was only 400 million. In 1900, the global population was only around 1.2 billion. Now, in 1991, the population exceeds 5 billion.

It is known that the mass thought of 400 million people is enough to support the emergence of many magical phenomena.

What about after the appearance of ten times, twenty times the population?

Could it be…

Roger thought of a possibility.

He glanced at Hagrid, the three-and-a-half-meter-tall half-giant, who was obviously not an expert in ritual magic theory.

Discussing this with Hagrid was not a good idea.

Eager to learn, Roger roughly explained to Hagrid that Warhammer 40K was a tabletop wargame developed by the British game company 'Games Workshop' in 1987, and then hastily bid farewell.

By the time Roger left the vicinity of the Forbidden Forest and returned to Hogwarts Castle, it was almost midnight. Theoretically, as a student, Roger was violating school rules by wandering around the school at night during bedtime.

But Roger had a handwritten letter from Dumbledore, allowing him to act as he saw fit. Argus Filch, the caretaker, saw Roger and didn't dare to interfere.

Of course, Roger wouldn't take a feather as an arrow, wantonly destroying the rules. On the battlefield, Roger had had enough of chaos and didn't want to return to it.

Only in special situations like the previous Fear Demon and tonight would Roger use the power Dumbledore had lent him.

As the saying goes, 'If I hear the Dao in the morning, I can die in the evening.' Although Roger wasn't that exaggerated, it was really uncomfortable not being able to get an answer when inspiration struck.

After returning to Hogwarts, Roger didn't return to the Gryffindor common room, but went directly to the Room of Requirement on the eighth floor.

That was one of the few places within Hogwarts that could support him in conducting various magical experiments.

Entering the Room of Requirement, Roger drew his wand and began a magical development that he had never done before.

Roger's idea was very simple.

Magic is the miracle of belief.

The 'belief' of all living beings has power.

So, is there a possibility that as a certain perception is accepted by the public, when magic is 'exerting force' in that direction, it will receive special assistance?

To put it more bluntly.

After the lightsaber of the Jedi Knights in Star Wars becomes a well-known thing, will it be easier for wizards to develop spells related to plasma light blades?

Or, after Hidetaka Miyazaki releases a game, will wizards be able to more easily develop magic that 'allows doors to only be opened from one side' than before?

Because everyone has subconsciously accepted the existence of such things.

Warhammer still has a lot of voice in the tabletop game world. Roger suspects that it may be a certain trend of thought in the dark that increased the corresponding probability, and then affected the final result of Hagrid's magical creature breeding.

And at this moment, Roger is verifying this conjecture.

He chose a more special trend of thought. Now it is December 1991, the last moment of the Cold War.

In recent years, the most prevalent trend of thought is, of course, the fear of all mankind for global nuclear war!

The breakfast at Hogwarts was not bad, and if you really couldn't get used to it, you could talk to the kitchen and slightly adjust the taste and dishes.

But today's breakfast time was a little different from usual.

It wasn't that someone had received a 'Howler' from their parents.

But…

The small wizards of the four houses dining in the Great Hall looked in astonishment as a huge 'metal coffin' floated over.

The 'coffin' passed by the small wizards and went straight to where the professors were dining.

“…Roger, what are you doing?” Professor McGonagall recognized who it was at a glance.

Such clever levitation charms were probably only possible for this worrisome little Seer among the students.

“Uh, the magic experiment had a slight problem. Professor McGonagall, could you please contact someone outside the school? I want to buy something.”

“What?”

“A Geiger counter.” A muffled voice came from the metal coffin made entirely of lead.

The direction of Roger's experiment last night was slightly related to nuclear energy.

The fear of nuclear war is a huge trend of thought at this time, and the development of nuclear war-related spells is relatively simple in two directions: one is a powerful explosion.

The other is the terrifying…nuclear radiation!

You need to know that Chernobyl was only 5 years ago, and everyone is very afraid of this thing.

Roger's choice was a radiation spell.

Anyway, with his modification technology level, ordinary radiation cannot kill him. Sealed in a lead coffin, it doesn't matter if he tries it casually.

But explosions are different. He's still on school grounds, so he has to consider the safety of others.

“You…never mind, you are a Seer, you don’t need me to tell you, you know what things you can’t do, but you better be careful.” As a half-blood wizard who lived in the Muggle world for a long time, Professor McGonagall certainly knew that a Geiger counter was used to measure radiation.

“I understand.” Roger responded while recalling what happened last night.

After a night of experimentation, Roger's spell creation was not successful.

He could only create radiation with magic, but he couldn't control it.

But his test had already yielded results.

Roger, who conducts a large number of magical experiments every day, is very clear about the approximate level of his magical development talent.

He has clearly felt that the development of radiation magic is indeed much easier.

The magnitude of this bonus is not particularly heaven-defying, but it does exist.

Thinking of this, Roger said, "Professor McGonagall, will you have time later? I have some magical things I would like to ask you about."

.

What Roger wanted to discuss with Professor McGonagall was his new discovery.

“Alaya Magic?” Professor McGonagall raised an eyebrow looking at the manuscript in front of her.

“That’s right.”

“The collective consciousness of mankind, in a way, is also called the Alaya Consciousness. This is a way of using the power of collective consciousness to develop magic, right?” Roger explained.

“I know that under the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy, we cannot reveal ourselves to the world.”

“But the interference of collective consciousness doesn’t actually require us to come forward ourselves. We can fund some entertainment industries such as games, movies, and anime to make an impact.”

“If used well, although it can’t create completely unreasonable things out of thin air, after some thought guidance, it can still greatly reduce the time required for wizards to develop various magics, which is of great benefit.”

This is almost equivalent to accelerating the overall development of the wizarding civilization to some extent.

And the risk is not considered high.

“What do you think, Professor McGonagall, do you think this idea is feasible?”
