Chapter 5 "The 4 Elements of Magic"
·
Bai Bai Le Kai Shui
Eleven o'clock in the evening is already very late for wizards who lack nightlife.
But for Tver, this is only his second stage of reading time.
I habitually stayed up late and took out a book from my collection - "The Origin of Cursed Magic".
After returning home from Durmstrang, it seems that the only difference is that I read in a different place?
Finally realizing this strange phenomenon, he decided to change his taste.
The Foley family's collection of books was still very rich, perhaps not as good as the library at Hogwarts where he was about to go, but there were more books on ancient magic.
This is also because in modern times, the family has become more and more indifferent and no longer delve into magic.
Fortunately, there was no prodigal son, and the family business was booming, so there was no sign of decline.
Tver left the bedroom, the house was quiet, only some candles were still lit in the corridor.
The study is not far from his bedroom, or in other words, his bedroom is specifically chosen to be in a room close to the study.
Because among the three members of the Welfare family, he is the only one who likes reading.
"Crench."
The study door is rarely opened. In the past two years, Jeff has only come in occasionally when he comes to clean.
Inside, Bitwell's room is larger and stores more books. The two bookshelves, one large and one small, on the left and right are filled with all kinds of books.
So the whole room smelled of old books, like freshly cut vanilla, waiting for Tver's visit.
There are two types of books here, one is written in English or Latin and is placed on the bookshelf on the left, and the other is recorded in ancient magic script and is placed on the other side.
Tver finished reading the first type of book two years ago, so his target today is books on ancient magic texts.
Durmstrang has a course to teach ancient magic script, and many records of black magic are recorded in ancient magic script.
It can also be said that compared to modern magic, ancient magic is more powerful and can be used in more eclectic ways, so it is often considered black magic.
There are fewer books here, and they are obviously more shabby. Some books even have no covers, and the titles are simply revealed——
"The Four Elements of Magic".
Very weird title.
The idea of elements does not hold true in this world. Tver can use clear water like a spring or a fire spell. The power of the two depends on his understanding of these two magics.
In other words, although the elements exist, they do not affect the release of magic.
The idea of four elements is even more bizarre.
In the eyes of Muggles, the four elements are the understanding of the world by ancient Greek scholars. They believe that the world is composed of four elements: air, water, earth, and fire.
But in the eyes of wizards, it is the naive concept of ancient wizards trying to understand the origin of magic. This is a required question in Durmstrang's history of magic, something Tver learned in the first grade.
So this book actually appeared here, which made Tver very curious.
You managed to get my attention.
This book is not thick, only a dozen pages.
Pulling out the book, Tver specially lit the candle in the study and sat on the floor.
If the book is bullshit, put it back and pick the next one.
Turning over the first page, sure enough, it was completely written in ancient magic script, with some magical reactions lingering on it.
It's not that ancient magic texts can store magic power for such a long time. That's impossible. After such a long time interval, the day lily is cold.
The magic on this is because some ancient magic texts have the effect of absorbing magic. When Tver reads it, his magic will be absorbed, protecting the book from being destroyed.
This is why ancient magic texts can still be preserved for so long.
Of course, this protection has limits.
Tver was in a daze for a moment, and read through the ancient magic script knowledge in his mind.
Because it doesn't improve his strength much, he is not good at this aspect and only treats it as a tool for reading.
Fortunately, the above is not complicated.
"The release of any magic is nothing more than four criteria: magic power, shape change, continuous effect, and release speed."
"The power of magic is called earth, and there is no thicker composition in the world than the vast earth.
The earth under your feet is no longer a bondage, but your loyal servant. Every spell cast can be as heavy as the earth. "
"The change of form is called water. Water has no fixed shape, it is all in one thought.
Magic is ever-changing, and its shape changes are like water that can be shaped by you. As long as you are willing, fire like water, earth like wind, are all under your control. "
"The lasting effect is called fire, the fire of the soul, endless.
People who have achieved this level are no longer bound to the body and have an almost permanent soul. "
"Release the speed and call it wind, and everything will move with the wind and go wherever you want.
Those who achieve the ultimate in this aspect can make their thinking a hundred times more active and return to the essence of magic. "
This was the first time Tver had seen this theory.
These four principles are like the foundation of the foundation in the magic world. These four aspects all depend on the wizard's understanding of a magic.
The deeper the understanding of magic, the release speed, form changes, effect duration and magic power will all increase simultaneously.
No one has ever thought of splitting these four foundations and improving them unilaterally. It would be a waste of time.
But what this book says is more like mastering one of the key points can improve an aspect of all magic, and there is no need to understand individual magic.
Just like if you understand that 1 plus 1 equals 2, then you naturally understand that A plus A equals 2A.
But the problem is, 1 and A in magic are different!
Curious, Tver continued to turn the pages.
However, the subsequent content did not explain it, nor did it say how to break the differences in understanding between different magics.
Basically, it introduces the power of these four aspects, and also mentions that after reaching the extreme of the four aspects, you can break the constraints of time and space and become a god free from the world.
Tver suddenly lost interest. He basically concluded that this was a nonsense book, full of ancient wizards' superficial understanding of magic.
If it were given to a professor of the History of Magic, it might be able to come up with an exam question, but for him, it's not even considered recreational reading.
Yawning, he regretted wasting time on this book, and it was better to go back to sleep.
He stood up and rubbed his aching thighs. The candle on the table was extinguished at some point, and the sunlight outside the window also poured in, casting a golden veil over the room.
But Tver shuddered.
He clearly remembered that he only read one page carefully, and only briefly browsed the rest of the content. There was no way he had spent a whole night!
"Master?" Jeff opened the study door at this time and laughed happily when he saw Tver.
"I didn't see anyone in your room. When I came over to take a look, it turned out that you were in the study, but you should pay attention to your health -"
"Jeff, what time is it now?" Tver searched the memory in his mind, which was easy for a Legilimency master.
Jeff was stunned for a moment, "It's seven o'clock in the morning. I get up at this time every day."
Eight hours.
I spent eight hours reading just one page of the book.
The last time I felt like this was when my teacher controlled my brain.
At that time, his thinking was extremely slow, but the knowledge taught by the teacher was deeply remembered in his mind, as if he was born with that magic.
His brain was controlled again!
Tver once again picked up this book.
The title above has not changed, but there is an extra line below.
"This is valuable information worthy of my lifelong study. I leave this line in the hope that the next person who can understand will appear. - Rowena Ravenclaw."
But for Tver, this is only his second stage of reading time.
