Section 348

When helping Weizet correct his pronunciation, Weizet could see an extremely complicated look in Dumbledore's eyes.

Weizet has a certain knowledge of various types of spells. He wants to learn this spell and ensure that the pronunciation is accurate and it does not take too long.

"These are all things of the past." Dumbledore exhaled softly, took the macaron from Wizette, and swallowed it directly with some boldness.

After he swallowed the macaron, his expression returned to normal, "Actually... the point of this armor is not the spell."

"Of course, for you, spells and spell-casting gestures can play a good guiding role. There is no doubt about this."

"You need to use spell-casting gestures to guide your 'soul'..." His eyes wandered between snacks and tea sets.

Dumbledore's hesitation was very short, probably only a moment, before he decisively chose the tea set;

The tea set was held in his hand, and with a slight movement of his fingers, the tea cup flew up and floated in front of Weizet.

"As your first time casting a spell, it will be easier to complete this magic if you make proper use of some props. Just cast the spell on the tea cup!"

"You need to inject the 'soul' into this teacup through a spell... The role of the spell is to guide you and help you to show the appearance of the armor as it should be."

"It should be noted that... we are wizards, not Boggarts... so having a complete 'spirit' and 'soul' is the key to our ability to control the armor!"

…

Following Dumbledore's instructions, Wizette slowly waved his wand and used it to draw the shape of a water droplet while guiding the "soul".

Just as Dumbledore expected, after understanding the nature of Boggart, it is not difficult to learn armor magic.

"Knight of the Blood Alliance!"

Vizette strictly complied with the requirements of the incantation, making a soft and melodious sound while placing the tip of the wand against the teacup;

The teacup changed rapidly and suddenly turned into a shining armor;

There are many similarities in appearance between this armor and the armored giant composed of a soul labyrinth.

Especially the breast mirror in the center of the armor emits an extremely soft light, like the bright and warm moonlight;

At the joints of the armor, there is a silver-blue light that is not dazzling, adding a different charm to the armor.

Wizette tried to make the armor move. As expected, the armor lifted his arm according to his movements, and there was no dry feeling.

"See! It's that simple!" Dumbledore said with a smile, "It only takes one spell to succeed!"

Chapter 182 Moving with the Soul

Watching the armor turn back into a teacup, Wizette closed his eyes, and all the details of the armor's magic slowly emerged for him to recall.

Through such recollections, he realized an important point. The water droplets drawn by the spell casting gesture may not be water droplets but blood drops;

As for further conclusions, he still needs to cast this magic again to get more feelings and verify his idea;

After all, it was his first time to cast armor magic, so he focused more on "casting the spell" to ensure the success rate.

It's not because he doesn't believe in Dumbledore, but it's his long-standing habit to first ensure that the magic can succeed, so as to avoid the possible consequences of failed spell casting;

This is an example that Flitwick told them in their first year - remember the lessons of Wizard Balufio, be sure to recite the spell correctly to avoid having a bison standing on your chest.

Wizette raised his wand again and drew an imaginary trajectory with the outline of a water droplet, "Knight of the Blood Alliance!"

The armor reappeared in front of him, and this time he used armor magic, which also gave him more feelings and verified his own ideas.

Combined with the knowledge related to blood magic, he felt that the guidance of this spell-casting gesture was to guide the "soul" out of the wand through the blood, thereby transforming the armor;

As Dumbledore said, humans are different from Boggarts in that they have a "spirit" and a "soul". Therefore, the role of blood is not only to guide, but also to serve as a bridge between the "spirit" and the "soul";

Using blood and the body that contains the blood as a bridge, the "spirit" can communicate with the "soul" and achieve smooth control of the armor.

Weizet now somewhat understood why Dumbledore said "the point of this armor is not the spell";

The inner principles and processes of armor magic are the most important content, because it involves the wizard's use of the soul.

…

After analyzing this, Weizet had a new idea and asked: "Principal Dumbledore, can I understand this?"

"This is just the first stage of armor magic...that's why it's just armor...it has more possibilities, can I think so?"

Hearing Weizet's question, Dumbledore stroked his beard, nodded slightly and said, "It's very keen. Of course it has more possibilities."

"Armor is just a form of expression. The reason why I cast this magic and presented it as armor was just a whim."

"Being able to actively use your soul is not a simple thing... If you have to classify wizards into different levels, this is a relatively appropriate way to distinguish them."

He didn't hold the wand, but waved it casually, and the whole principal's office started to move.

The silverware on the table flew into the air, flowing like a river. In the blink of an eye, the silverware had completely disappeared and turned into a river of silver;

The same was true for everything around him, whether it was furniture or books, they all flew up, stacked and reorganized, and turned into new things;

The entire principal's office seemed to be dim, and the river formed by silver scattered into the air, turning into stars in the sky;

And those furniture and books that were reorganized and fused with each other have now turned into Hogwarts Castle, bathed in the bright stars.

"This is the process."

Dumbledore's gentle voice sounded, and Vizet was just in a trance, and everything around him returned to its original state, as if everything that had just happened was just his illusion.

But he also understood that everything just now was definitely not an illusion, but the use of the soul, which is an extremely obscure and difficult to record field.

With a gradually deepening understanding of the soul, Vizette could understand how difficult it would be to do this so effortlessly;

Compared to deliberately casting magic, the feeling presented by Dumbledore was more like a "heart moving at will", and he could do whatever he thought of.

Vizette closed his eyes and recalled what he had seen and felt just now;

He even recalled that in the distant past, Voldemort once mentioned to him that the so-called "free" casting of magic actually also involved a little use of the soul.

Vizette would not be surprised at all about this, after all, Voldemort was called "the most dangerous dark wizard in history", and his magical ability was naturally beyond doubt.

Dumbledore returned to his seat, waved his hand to make the cold tea disappear, and refilled the two teacups with tea.

He ate snacks leisurely, blew on the steaming tea, and took a sip of the tea, enjoying this comfortable feeling.

…

When the sun outside the window was brighter, Vizette slowly opened his eyes.

He exhaled lightly, looked at the teacup still on the tea tray, and tapped the table with his fingers.

The teacup trembled slightly, as if it felt some kind of call, and it jumped directly from the tea table like a standing long jump;

The teacup in the air drew a beautiful arc, and then fell in front of Vizette.

The tea rippled gently, but did not spill at all; the teacup moved lightly, without much movement.

"So that's how it feels..." Vizette rubbed his eyebrows and said with emotion.

He did not cast a levitation spell or a summoning spell, but according to the principle of armor magic, through the connection between "spirit" and "soul", he thought that the teacup and tea should come to him;

The tea and teacup responded to his idea, so they jumped over, the teacup did not make a sound, and the tea did not spill on the table.

There is no doubt that it is an extremely difficult thing to use the soul well;

Even if he just wanted the teacup and tea to come, he spent a lot of energy, and the effect was almost the same as the levitation spell or the summoning spell.

"Principal Dumbledore, I now feel even more that... the wizard who can invent the Levitation Charm and the Summoning Charm is truly amazing!"

"Oh?" Dumbledore murmured, with a rather unexpected look on his face and a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"There shouldn't be many wizards who can use the soul like this..." said Vizette, "After all, there are too many things to consider!"

"But the Levitation Spell is different from the Summoning Spell. As long as wizards practice diligently, they can master it anyway... I think maybe this is the meaning of magic..."

"It's not for showing off, but for more people... to have a more convenient life and to save some people from troubles... Creation is the meaning of magic."

"Yes, creation is the meaning of magic..." Dumbledore nodded with satisfaction, "Destruction is too simple, even a glass of water may become the cause of destruction."

"But if you want to use a glass of water to brew a potion that can drive away the curse... If you want to achieve this goal, you have to consider many things, it's not a simple thing!"

Chapter 183 Neville and Hannah's complementarity

In October in the Scottish Highlands, autumn is coming quietly, and the chill is getting stronger.

Most students have a feeling that perhaps due to the influence of Dementors, this year's autumn is gloomier than in previous years.

October in the Scottish Highlands always seems to be full of rainy weather;

Although not as fierce as last year, it feels much colder than last year's rain.

Accompanied by a fluctuating footsteps, the Weasley twins stumbled into the hallway.

Fred turned sideways weakly and collapsed on an armchair, "The rain now is like hail."

George raised his right hand and pointed his index finger, saying viciously: "Needless to say, it must be the Dementors!"

This sentence seemed to drain all his strength, and he collapsed on another armchair like Fred.

Neville ran up to the two and asked nervously: "Fred...what's wrong with you? Were you attacked by Dementors?"

Fred's eyes seemed to lose their spirit, and he looked up at the sky blankly, "Maybe being attacked by Dementors...will make it easier?"

George felt the same way and said slowly: "We were attacked... The one who attacked us... was an extremely terrifying creature..."

Neville's eyes widened and he subconsciously held his breath, "Is there a creature more terrifying than... than Dementors?"
