Chapter 196: Memory Magic Part 1 (Second update)

On the other side, Wright, who was in the Ravenclaw boys' dormitory, after enjoying the Chinese breakfast carefully prepared by Gaga, the house elf in the kitchen, also began to prepare for his today's task: to comprehensively sort out his memory magic-related abilities.

After the Quidditch match between Gryffindor and Slytherin yesterday, Wright returned directly to the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office on the third floor of the castle and told Lockhart that he was willing to join "Raven's Paw" ” and the decision to become one.

While Lockhart was overjoyed, he later told Wright about some rules and regulations that seemed to be what the organization should have, but were actually made up by him (because Professor Flitwick had never told him about it) this thing).

Then, Lockhart directly asked Wright what advanced magic he wanted to learn.

Although it was unclear why Lockhart seemed more anxious than himself, this did not prevent Wright from directly telling him his request to learn memory magic.

"Huh? Memory magic, right?" Lockhart looked at Wright and raised his eyebrows in surprise, "I thought that the first thing you wanted to learn, Wright, would be Apparition! You know, almost all little wizards Everyone likes this kind of space moving magic with gorgeous appearance and cool effects.”

"Actually, I can apparate, and I'm pretty good at it." Wright said generously.

Anyway, Wright, who has now joined Raven's Claws and consciously regards Lockhart as half of his own, doesn't mind if he knows about such innocuous things.

However, despite saying this, Wright's favorability towards Lockhart still hasn't improved much. It has only gone from a low level of 50 to a passing level of 60.

"Although I think many people have said it, I still have to say it again here, Wright, your magical talent is indeed very high." Lockhart's expression looked even happier, and he said excitedly, " You know, even though Hogwarts has introduced Apparition classes in the sixth grade, there are still many adult wizards who don’t know how to do this magic!”

There was a reason why Lockhart was so cheerful.

Because the higher Wright's talent is, the faster he can learn magic. In that case, Lockhart can quickly train Wright to be a qualified member of Raven's Paw, and then run out of this hellish place called Hogwarts!

In this ghost school where the Dark Lord and the White Lord coexist, Lockhart doesn't want to stay here any longer! Yes, Lockhart had already decided to nickname Dumbledore the White Devil when he met Jerry Green. The greatest white wizard alive? I bother!

Wright smiled inexplicably. He really couldn't understand why Lockhart was so excited now.

"Ahem!" Lockhart cleared his throat and readjusted the expression on his face, "Wright, you should have nothing to do this afternoon, right?"

"Yes." Wright nodded.

Chang Chu and Roger went to discuss the Quidditch tactics of Eagle Yard after the game, while Villita and Snape also had something to talk about. They didn't know how long it would take. The two people who are most likely to look for him in Hogwarts will not come at this time, so Wright naturally has a lot of free time.

"Then let's start teaching directly." Lockhart said without delay, "I wonder what you know about memory magic, Wright?"

"Memory magic is a type of spiritual magic that has the magical effect of manipulating, influencing or even controlling other people's memories." Wright said, "The two most famous memory magics are the obliviate spell and the psychedelic spell (the spell is unknown). ).”

"The Forgetting Curse is a spell that can be used to erase personal memories. Since this spell was invented by Ms. Nemorne Radford, it has often been used by magical government departments in various countries to eliminate ordinary people who do not understand magic. "About the memory of the wizarding world." Wright said eloquently, "The psychedelic spell is a spell used to blind other people's perception, memory and even spirit. Many people use it to modify other people's memories and call it false memory. But there are also a few people who like to use psychedelic spells to create illusory feelings, and they name it love spells. But anyway, the name psychedelic spells is very appropriate.”

"Yes, yes!" Lockhart nodded, "The power of the psychedelic spell can be seen clearly. Professor Flitwick is more proficient in psychedelic magic than any wizard I have ever seen..."

Um? Was I fooled into "Raven's Claw" by Professor Flitwick using psychedelic magic? Lockhart suddenly seemed to realize something. Otherwise, how could a genius like me join this strange organization?

"Is Professor Flitwick best at psychedelic magic?" Wright asked with some surprise. "I thought he was better at attack magic! Everyone said that he was the subject of a large-scale duel when he was young. The winner of the competition.”

"Of course!" Lockhart came back to his senses and spread his hands towards Wright, "Professor Flitwick is also very good at attacking spells. For old wizards like him who have lived for so many years, who knows what they are really good at? What spell could it be? They are like endless holes in the ground. Whenever you think you have dug to the bottom, you will soon find that there is something deeper underneath.”

A very reasonable statement. Wright nodded in agreement.

"Let's not talk about Professor Flitwick, let's go back to memory magic!" Lockhart said, "As you know, Wright, the two most famous spells in memory magic are the Forgetting Curse and the Confusion Charm. Illusion spell. And what I am going to teach you is the forgetfulness spell. The spell is to forget everything."

"But I believe that it is not very difficult for you to master this magic spell." Lockhart said with some certainty, "What is difficult is how to sort out other people's huge and complicated memories, and how to hide the things you want to delete. to remove that specific memory without causing damage to other parts.”

"Yes." Wright nodded.

These two points Lockhart mentioned were where Wright had always found it difficult.

The Forgetting Spell is usually good for erasing specific memories, but when it comes to deleting some particularly profound memories, the spell needs to be cast repeatedly.

And if the spell is cast incorrectly, or the power of the forgetting spell is too strong, it can easily erase other important parts of the memory of the person being cast, and it may also cause permanent damage to his/her memory, and in the worst case, It can even cause irreversible brain damage!

In addition, the effect of the Forgetting Curse is not permanent. It can be broken by other spells. Dark wizards often use torture to cause strong mental stimulation in order to break the Forgetting Curse cast by others. The so-called forgetfulness only suppresses a specific memory, rather than actually completely deleting it.
