Chapter 5: Unbelievable Understanding, Understanding Arcane Magic

"Well..." Levin showed an awkward smile, "Professor, if it's a school uniform, I think second-hand clothing is a good choice based on my financial situation. I just saw a good second-hand clothing store."

Professor McGonagall looked at the boy. There was no reluctance on Levin's face.

He was once an adult, but he has passed the age where he needs to show off in front of his friends through clothing.

"Oh well."

In fact, with the Levin student loan, it is indeed unrealistic to buy a new one.

He calculated very clearly that his student loan for the first year was thirty galleons and would be reduced by half every year thereafter.

The wand I just bought from Ollivanders cost one-third of the price. For the most basic spell-casting tool, this is no way to save money.

If the textbook is bought brand new, it will cost at least ten plus bulges.

For the remaining ten galleons, he wanted to buy a cauldron and glass bottle set for Potions class.

He wants to buy dragon skin gloves for herbal medicine class.

There are also folding telescopes for astronomy classes...

After all, if all were bought new, Levin wouldn't even be able to afford a robe.

So, under the leadership of McGonagall, the two went to a second-hand robe store and bought some slightly larger old robes. After all, he was still growing tall so that he could wear them in another year.

Then I found a set of old glass bottles. They can still be used after washing, but there are a lot of scratches on them.

The easiest thing to get is second-hand books, and Flourishes and Blotts has a lot of them under the cabinet.

In fact, in Levin's eyes, second-hand books are more suitable for learning.

Compared with the new ones, the second-hand books not only have fewer words per word, but also contain many more notes from senior students.

Textbooks with key points drawn in advance - this is very beneficial to lower grade students.

If you are lucky and can choose a second-hand book written by a genius like "Half-Blood Prince", then it will not be a problem to become a top student in this subject.

The only thing you need to be careful about is not to choose second-hand books left by bad students, especially those with comic strips on them.

After buying second-hand goods, Levin still had five gold galleons left, and the only supplies he needed were a crucible and a telescope.

These two things are relatively difficult to find useful second-hand goods.

"How about we buy new ones? If it's just a crucible and a telescope, 5 Galleons is enough." McGonagall suggested.

"No, Professor McGonagall, I want to wait." Levin shook his head when he heard this. "There are still nearly two months until the start of school. Maybe I can find suitable second-hand goods and save some galleons..."

If you just buy a new one, 5 galleons is enough, but you have to spend it completely.

This is not in line with Levin’s consumption philosophy.

In terms of the consumption concept left over from his previous life, no matter how tight he was, he had to leave some money for emergencies.

The so-called Galleons are not everything, but nothing is impossible without Galleons.

After thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall finally agreed with his approach and handed him the remaining student loan.

Based on this short period of observation, Professor McGonagall felt that Levin was indeed a very independent little wizard who could take care of himself.

After apparating again and sending Levin back to the orphanage, she left.

But Levin didn't stay in the orphanage as she thought.

He plans to stay in Diagon Alley and work to make money.

He has discovered that if he wants to become stronger quickly, in addition to studying honestly, he must also rely on his incredible understanding.

If you want to gain some understanding, besides studying honestly, the best way is to observe and experience magic.

But now he is just an ordinary Hogwarts freshman. If he wants to observe more and experience more magic, the best way is to stay in the magical world and participate in the production and life of the magical world.

The most direct way is to work!

Working people, working souls, and working wizards are all superior to others!

So, as soon as he returned to the orphanage, Levin began to fool the director: "...because of my special situation, the school also introduced me to a work-study job before the start of the school year. Not only did I make money, but it also provided me with food..."

The dean was already under a confusion spell cast by Professor McGonagall, and coupled with Levin's [Charming Humans] aura, she easily believed this.

Levin stayed in his room at night, preparing to spend his last night in the orphanage.

First think about luggage.

In fact, there is nothing to bring except some clothes.

However, you can buy more related stationery in the Muggle world.

For example, ink, the Harry Potter world does not need to copy magic scrolls, so no special ink is needed.

Bring more paper, as Hogwarts only requires parchment for homework.

If you use it yourself, you still have to choose high-quality and cheap ordinary paper.

There is also a pen, after all, he has never used a quill at all.

He didn't have much money, so he naturally had to budget carefully and buy whatever was cheap.

If it weren't for the fact that the school uniforms couldn't be made by Muggle tailors, he would have wanted to have the robes made by Muggles.

After all this is done, it’s still early,

"I remember that the rule that little wizards could not use magic outside of school started during the holidays of the first semester. Before that, it seemed that wands could be used in private. For example, Hermione once practiced magic spells at home, which is the so-called trace. The silk was added after school started.”

If this is the case, then you should roll it up yourself.

Hermione can't be allowed to be more beautiful than before!

So Levin opened "Standard Spells: Elementary" in front of his desk.

"A spell, or spell, is a controlled manifestation of magic, usually performed by speaking an incantation, to affect the world in a supernatural way."

"Generally speaking, there are four main conditions for successful casting of a spell: wand gesture, incantation, concentration and intention."

"Spells are usually divided into several categories: transfiguration, charms, breaking spells, and healing spells. Curses are further divided into ordinary spells, jinxes, poison spells, and curses according to the level of malice. It should be noted that among these categories, The lines between are flexible and blurred. Therefore, a particular spell can belong to more than one category at the same time."

"A charm is a spell that adds specific properties to an object or creature. A charm differs from a polymorph in the following ways: A charm adds specific properties to an object or creature, whereas a polymorph changes it into something completely different. thing."

"For example, a Color Changing Charm causes an object to change its color; a Levitation Charm causes an object to levitate; and a Happy Charm increases a creature's mood."

…

[You have read "Standard Spells·Elementary" and have a clear understanding of the magic system of this world. The inspiration from the heavens and the world has made you aware that the magic system of this world still has shortcomings]

[You understand the arcane magic system, and you begin to try to classify spells in the form of arcane magic. 】

[You understand the attribute template in a way that you can understand, and use it to judge the attributes of yourself and others]

As expected of his incredible understanding, he figured out the arcane magic system and attribute panel just by looking at the outline.

Unlike the Harry Potter magic system, which has rough classification and rough system, the arcane magic system is relatively more rigorous.

From a horizontal perspective, arcane magic is divided into eight schools:

The [Protection System] specializes in protection and resistance;

[Conjuration system] involving summoning, teleportation, and creation;

[Prophecy system] that reveals information and predicts the future;

The [Confusion and Control System] that changes the minds of others and controls their behavior;

[Plastic Energy System] that shapes magical energy;

[Illusion] that deceives other people’s senses and minds;

[Necromantic System] that controls life and death;

[Change system] that changes the object itself;

From the perspective of vertical difficulty, Arcane Magic divides spell difficulty from low to high into levels 0 to 9, as well as legendary spells above level 9.

In addition to this, arcane magic also has a [super magic system] that enhances the various effects of a single magic by increasing the difficulty of casting spells.

It can be said that the entire system is quite complete.

Don't know though.

What Levin understands now is just a framework, a prototype.

But he believes that as time goes by, as his research on magic continues to deepen, and his understanding gradually deepens, he will be able to completely merge the spells in the Harry Potter world with this system, and at the same time bring many unique arcane magic systems into existence. to this world.

By then, the entire magical world will be turned upside down!

After closing his eyes to comprehend the new system, Levin continued to flip through "Standard Spells - Elementary" and entered the learning stage of specific spells.

A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you want to transform the magic system in this world, start with every magic.
