Skyrim System In Harry Potter World

〖Skills〗

Void blanked my vision for a second before a starry night sky appeared before my eyes. When I looked around most of the sky was still covered by darkness. It appears that there are plenty of more skills to discover.

Anyway, 2 new constellations were in the view. I looked at the bright stars, which represented which abilities I can currently open. There were no new possible abilities in old constellations, as for new ones, there were 2 brightly lit stars.

I ignored them for now and decided to level up.

『 Level 2 ➔ 3 』

[You get one skill point and one characteristic point. Which characteristic you wish to improve?]

'Magicka!'

『 Level 3 ➣ Not enough experience 』

『 Health ➣ Improvement : 0 』

『 Magicka ➣ Improvement : 1 ➔ 2 』

『 Stamina ➣ Improvement : 0 』

『 Number of skill points: 2 』

I also noticed that there was a new row of information about the number of skill points I currently have.

'Why do I see it only, now?'

'You can do that?'

[You can change some settings in the system, yes.]

'Yeah, I want to always see skill point number in skills window,'

[Settings were applied.]

Now let's look at new abilities.

『 Wand Making 』

〖You will serve me 0/3〗

〖Knowledge of how wands are made gives you greater control over wands. Wands that did not accept you as their master will be easier to handle and they will have less resistance to you casting magic through them〗

'Hm? Numbers? The system, why abilities have a number near it?'

This gave me thought.

'Do other abilities previously shown have such levels, but were hidden by you as well?'

[Indeed. You had only one skill point, so it was pointless to show such information. The simplicity of an interface and interactivity will make your acclimation to system usage faster and easier. Moreover, you are free to customize some parts of the systems after opening new settings.]

'Are you hiding a lot of capabilities from me now?'

[Yes. But for most of them, you can't use for now, and for others, your body or mind is not ready to accept hidden functionality. Knowledge of something that you can't use will bring only frustration.]

'Well… that does make sense.'

I decided to look at other previously lighted stars.

〖Strong argument 0/4〗

〖Focused mind〗

'So, from now I can always see levels of my ability if it can be upgraded, right?'

[Indeed.]

'And during my progression, you will have new functionality in store for me?'

[Indeed, I will.]

I was excited by the thought that there is new stuff that is yet to be opened to me, that I want to uncover and make use of. It makes me want to progress more and use the system to its full potential. I think that is why the system is designed in a way to entice a person to progress and improve.

But, from another perspective, I do not think everyone will be happy with the fact that the system inside of them hides something from them. It heavily depends on the mentality of a human. Some humans are a bit paranoid, and others are more easygoing. Some are even prideful enough to think that the system purposefully mocks them by hiding its full potential, saying they are not ready.

This design works for me fine and makes me work harder, but it is my subjective view and feel. Does it mean that the system was handmade by somebody to suit my character? Or am I lucky enough to have a system that suits me perfectly?

*2 minutes later*

Well, anyway no point thinking about it now, I suppose. It is not like there is much I can do about it. Plus, I am living a second life right now, so I am grateful no matter who gave me that chance.

〖Remarkable Comprehension 0/3〗

〖Your digestion of new information and its comprehension goes easier and much faster. It helps acquire more knowledge in less time. 〗

This ability can make my reading time more useful. Reading a book can increase my skill experience and if my comprehension will increase it means I will get more information from this book that can be used later.

I was thinking if I should pick an ability now or later.

I had 2 skill points and thus could acquire 2 abilities or upgrade one ability to level 2. Although, I am not sure about upgrading. Probably to upgrade an ability I will need to raise skill tree to an appropriate level like it was in the game where the system came from.

All abilities have their merits. Sneaking ability can help me a lot in exploring Hogwarts and spying on some characters. Alchemy one will make my brewing process smoother. Speech ability can save me in a dangerous situation or just improve character interaction with me. And studying ability will make my reading more time-efficient and useful.

The only ability that is relatively useless now, at least at its first level, is the one from Wand Making tree. It will bring me no benefits in the short term.

Ah, I will need to strongly consider all sides, but before that, I need to save. No matter what choice I will make, I think progress so far is something I won't be able to repeat. After all, it is mostly thanks to speech buff, I even got a level 3 so fast in the first place.

'Save progress!'

*20 minutes later*

〖Strong Argument 1/4 (25) 〗

〖Remarkable Comprehension 1/3 (30) 〗

I decided on those 2 abilities. So far speech is the highest and the most useful out of all my skills. And studying I think soon will become the most used skill. After all, I am in school, right now.

As I thought previously, I can't upgrade abilities for now. To upgrade them I need to reach level 25 and 30 in skills respective skills.

Abilities acquired.

I have one more lesson today, so I better get going. Thanks to inventory my school bag is mostly empty. I just keep some stuff for the looks of it. Whenever I need to pull something out, I just put hands in it and call for whatever item I need. Therefore, I did not need to put in or pull off anything from the bag for the upcoming lesson.

The system makes life really convenient. After getting to the common room of Gryffindor I met a few other first-years. I came up to them to ask if Hermione already left. They said they haven't seen her yet. I decide to wait a little bit and maybe go with her. After all, I am her first friend and she is mine in this school, so I would like to stay together with her. Plus, she is a part of the main story, so I will be able to be part of it as well. And there is not much danger, as long as I can load fast enough.

After 5 minutes, she entered the room, and I waved to her. After seeing me waiting for her, she was apparently happy, and we together went to class while chatting about magical stuff.
