Chapter 17: Comprehending Magic! The Essence of the Panel!
The moon hangs high in the sky.
It shines on the ancient castle of Hogwarts.
It also shines upon the peaceful village of Hogsmeade.
"Fluorescent lights!"
The bright light dispelled the darkness in the cabin, illuminating the minimalist furniture and even making the small spiders on their webs in the corners clearly visible.
It was yet another attempt and practice of magic.
just.
This time.
After the light shone, it did not go out as before—through repeated practice and improvement in proficiency, Ian finally grasped the essence of this beginner-level wizarding magic—the light shining from the tip of his wand was not the radiance of the sun, but the manifestation of the light of the wizard's inner soul.
Yes.
This is the essence of the [Illumination Charm] magic.
At least.
This is the rudimentary essence that Ian has now come to understand.
"A world of idealism."
Even though he was mentally prepared for the unscientific nature of magic, Ian still couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh after actually encountering and learning his first spell.
All magic.
They all originated from the wizard himself.
The power comes from "belief".
This was an explanation of magic that Ian had once heard. Now, the rudimentary essence he had grasped remarkably resembled that explanation.
perhaps.
When Ian learns enough magic and his magic level is high enough, he will be able to truly find the secret of the birth of magic and unravel people's curiosity about the origin of magic that has lasted for many years.
"But I still have a long way to go to achieve this." Ian felt a little dizzy, which could be attributed to the depletion of his magic power.
of course.
In reality, Ian didn't have that clear feeling of overdraft and depletion. The magic power in his body hadn't decreased at all; it was more like the fatigue after staying up all night for a long time.
obviously.
The magic consumption of wizards is not the same as the increase or decrease of "mana value" in video games. The so-called magic consumption is more accurately described as the "weakness" of magic.
It's like the weakening of some kind of activity; it needs time and rest to regain its vitality. Yes, it's similar to how the energy consumed during exercise recovers after rest.
"Fortunately, I've already learned the Illumination Charm. It's getting late, so I need to pack up and get some sleep." This feeling of staying up all night is actually a good thing for Ian.
otherwise.
Given what happened today and the excitement of being exposed to magic, getting a good night's sleep won't be easy, just like many children's first experience with a video game console.
The feeling after the magic "failed" completely replaced the effect of sleeping pills—the bed in the bedroom was very clean and had the unique faint fragrance of lavender.
It must have been changed recently, which saved Ian the time of making the sheets. After a quick shower, Ian pulled the covers over himself and lay down on the bed.
outside the house.
The sound of the flowing stream and the croaking of frogs mingled together. Although Ian felt tired from the depletion of his magic power, he couldn't help but check his panel again.
That feeling.
It's as childish as if they're afraid the magic they've learned will quietly disappear.

……
[Illumination Spell] has been successfully upgraded to level one.
We're one step closer to awakening the [Extraordinary Trait].
Having only level four magic might not be considered exceptional talent, but Ian wasn't discouraged or disappointed at all. As young wizards grow older, their magic generally increases significantly.
Magic is not a problem.
The key to a wizard's excellence lies in the learning and application of magic.
"So, old Bitden, who sells wands, was right. I'm sure I'll become a very good wizard." Ian's ego couldn't help but swell a little.
This is indeed the case.
With such a powerful cheat code, learning all magic will become much easier for Ian, since each improvement in skill proficiency will bring Ian new insights.
And a level increase like the [Illumination Charm] from 0 to 1 allows Ian to experience a wonderful epiphany, as if something that was originally distant and hazy is now within reach.
This is certainly an incredibly powerful ability.
It's a talent that countless wizards wouldn't even dare to dream of...?
Perhaps other wizards who master a spell are simply following the description in the textbook, replicating the "process" summarized by their predecessors through experience in a haphazard way.
however.
Ian's acquisition and learning of magic, however, was different from this method.
After each attempt.
Ian would gain a deeper understanding of the magic behind the spell. Strictly speaking, what he was learning was not the spell itself, but the magic behind the spell.
That's what truly sets Ian apart.
He is studying law.
Most wizards, even adult wizards, only learn the "spell".
It's like learning the [Illumination Charm].
Even after graduation, most wizards' understanding and application of the introductory magic taught to first-year students likely remain limited to the experience of those who came before them.
This is why wandless spellcasting is considered nonsense by most wizards.
"Incantations" are a shortcut.
Once a wizard recites the corresponding incantation, the magic linked to this "shortcut" will be triggered, and over time, the wizard will naturally develop an inescapable dependence on this "shortcut."
However, in order to perform spells without a staff...
It is essential to understand the magical nature contained within spells.
Perhaps many years ago.
Many wizards will continue to seek and explore the true meaning of magic. But in this advanced age, those with restless hearts are clearly not just the so-called Muggles.
Just as Muggles stopped using letters after the advent of telephones, most wizards naturally abandoned tedious and difficult studies once they had the means to easily use magic.
Truth is always explored by only a small number of people.
Magic is the same.
"I wonder what level of enlightenment I need to reach before I can cast a spell without a staff..." With anticipation for the future, Ian slowly drifted off to sleep.
tonight.
He did not choose to control his dreams.
and so.
The bizarre and wonderful dreams were much more exciting than usual.
