Chapter 3 Development and Research of Ancient Witchcraft

Research on the Development of Ancient Witchcraft

Andy took the book out of the bookshelf and turned to the part he had read last night and continued reading.

The Collins family is not an ancient family of magicians. According to the family tree, the earliest magician in the family appeared two centuries ago.

According to current sayings, the Collins family can be regarded as a mixed-blood wizard family.

Therefore, there are not many magic books in the family. Most of them are popular goods that can be bought in bookstores. A small number of unique books were also obtained by the ancestors from their friends.

Since the magic power of the little wizard is not stable, the family strictly prohibits Andy from reading books related to spellcasting to prevent Andy from accidentally casting spells, or being unable to control, or causing harm to himself.

Those magic books are cursed. As long as Andy touches them, the alarm will sound in the house.

"It's really like guarding against thieves." Andy habitually complained, but his mind was completely immersed in the content described in the magic book.

The original human wizards did not have magic wands, so it was difficult for wizards of that era to cast spells, and many wizards even knew only one or two magics. If you are not skilled in casting spells, or if you lose control of your emotions, you may even cause magic to go haywire.

"So... emotional control is important for casting spells?"

"Or should I say... mind and will?"

Andy turned his eyes to the side, and under the interference of his strong will, the quill on the desk slowly flew up.

A few years ago, Andy was already able to do this skillfully.

At first, Andy thought he was a rare magic genius, and as long as he learned to cast spells, he could step on Voldemort and punch Dumbledore.

But this idea was eventually ridiculed by his mother Helen.

The most important reason why Andy can cast simple spells is that the magic power of the little wizard is not stable enough.

As he grew older, Andy also found that his "wandless casting" became more and more difficult. Every time he concentrated his mind to cast a spell, he would have a strong sense of stagnation.

But Andy has been consciously practicing his "wandless casting" skills, even though it has become more and more difficult.

According to Helen's explanation, the emergence of this stagnation is mainly because Andy's magic power has gradually stabilized, and the emotions when casting spells are not strong enough.

When Andy has a magic wand in the future, it will be much easier for him to cast spells.

Andy also found the same answer in the book.

"So is Obscurus born in this way?"

In the book "Study on the Development of Ancient Witchcraft", there is a full chapter about Obscurus.

According to the book: When a wizard child is forced to suppress his magic power due to physical or psychological abuse, they will have extremely painful emotions, thus creating a dark parasitic magic power called "Obscura".

When the Obscurus reaches the point of emotional and mental collapse, they will lose control of their bodies and then release their "Obscura".

The book says that the power of Obscurus is extremely powerful and uncontrollable.

"So, emotions - or mental power, can be integrated with magic power to make magic power stronger?"

However, according to the book "Research and Development of Ancient Witchcraft", Obscurus can only be born in young wizards under the age of ten, and they will not live beyond the age of ten.

When the young wizard is over ten years old and the magic power in the body becomes relatively stable, no matter how strong the emotions are, Obscurus will not be born.

"The integration of mental power and magic power can be used as a research topic in the future."

The current system seems to be of no help to Andy, but the data above can help Andy better understand his abilities.

The data on the right side of the system has five attributes: magic power, soul, mind, thinking, and will.

Magic power and soul are not mentioned for the time being. According to the system's division, mind, thinking, and will are obviously three different powers.

"Forget about mind, will - is it about some magical defense? For example, Cruciatus Curse and Imperius Curse?"

Andy continued to flip through the book.

Andy has read the chapter about Obscurus several times in a row. After confirming that there was no missing information, Andy continued to read the following content.

Half an hour later, Andy closed the book.

"Rubbish book!"

Ancient magic and modern magic are completely different things, and the explanation of ancient magic in this book is completely an introduction to the 'development history', without any substantial content.

Well! This is actually a history book, and has nothing to do with magic.

"Is someone coming?"

Andy looked out the window to relax his eyes, but saw a small black dot appear on the distant mountain, and the small black dot quickly approached the direction of his home and gradually became clearer.

"Oh my God, it's him again!" Andy was a little sad.

Acquaintance with Ron Weasley was definitely a major mistake in Andy's future planning.

There are four mountains between the Weasley family and the Collins family. Andy once rode a children's version of a flying broom to visit neighbors everywhere, and the Weasley family was no exception.

What Andy didn't expect was that the Weasley family actually had a kid of the same age as himself.

Well, Andy was actually a little surprised at first, after all, Ron was a character in the original "Harry Potter" and one of the three protagonists.

Ron in the first movie was still very likable, especially his self-sacrifice in the chess scene.

However, after Andy and Ron became familiar with each other - that is, after a few words, Andy would rather have never met this person.

Because the two sides have no common language at all!

Andy wanted to talk to Ron about magic. After all, Weasley is a famous family of wizards with a long tradition in the magic world - although they are now down and out, they will never sell the magic books collected at home.

But Ron always wanted to talk to Andy about Quidditch, or bragging.

If he was really eleven years old, Andy would not mind being friends with Ron, but Andy was not really eleven years old after all.

In just a moment of reminiscing, Ron had already landed in front of the Collins family on a children's version of a flying broom.

"Andy!" Ron looked up and waved at Andy who was standing in front of the window.

"Wait a minute, I'll go downstairs to open the door for you."

Putting the book back on the bookshelf, Andy sighed and ran downstairs.

In his previous life, Andy was a Muggle, so Andy had an almost fanatical passion for magic.

But Ron was obviously not like that.

He was just an ordinary child in the magic world.

Just like Andy's previous life, everyone knew that technology was amazing, but learning math, physics and chemistry was also a huge torture.

However, perhaps it was precisely because Ron was born in the magic world that he only had Andy, a little wizard friend of the same age.
