Hogwarts: I am Voldemort.

Chapter 199 Almost Became a Squib
The control and vibration of magic power by ancient magic is surprisingly similar to Botu.

Not exactly the same, of course, but conceptually, they have the same characteristics:
control, shock.

The control of magic power by ancient magic is to let it swim in the body, but it is different from the meridians and acupuncture points of the East.

Most of the time, the body is regarded as a special space by ancient magicians, and the magic power swimming in this space is more for twisting into a special form.

Like the Stunning Curse.

In the magic power control of ancient magic, it needs to make the magic power as thin as a gossamer, and then weave it chaotically in the body, and finally become a ball of magic power that cannot be untied.

As for the shock, it is also different from the wave map, and it has a specific meaning:

Look for "Ether".

Even in modern magic, "ether" is a very frequently seen word.

In the sixth grade Charms class at Hogwarts, the textbook [The Fifth Element: Exploration] used by Professor Flitwick has a lot of relevant content.

Wizards believe that the four basic elements that make up the world are air, water, fire and earth, and the fifth element is "ether".

They also believe that in the Muggle world, the great power, divine power, power of faith, etc. mentioned in different myths and legends can all be described by "ether".

Therefore, "ether" is not a simple point, it is very complicated and represents many things.

For example, in the stun spell in ancient magic, "ether" specifies the spirit.

Find an "ether" shock pointing to the spirit, and then shoot out the combed magic power like a chaotic ball, let the magic power enter the other party's spiritual world, and make the other party's consciousness fall into a mystery...

This is how the ancient magic Stunning Spell was formed.

When Voldemort thoroughly understood the operation method of the ancient magic of the Stunning Spell, he felt that this method was to build a mental maze for the other party, so that his consciousness could be trapped in it, and he could no longer control his body.

To be honest, he felt that the efficacy and formation mechanism of ancient magic were far better than modern magic.

Compare the two.

Ancient magic has very clear steps, and you can even modify the specific structure in the casting according to your personal preferences without affecting the effect.

For example, Voldemort himself changed the thread-like magic circuit into a maze, which had the same effect, or even better.

But modern magic is different. It only has spells and wand waving rhythms, and it is difficult for the caster to change anything.

"Ancient magic is more like craftsmen before the industrial revolution, omnipotent and slow to produce, while modern wizards, like modern craftsmen with the help of various high-tech, are machine-operated and no longer pursue principles."

Voldemort thought about it like this, and quickly denied his thoughts.

[Fifth Element: Exploration] This book has obviously stepped into the field of ancient magic.

"Reduce the difficulty of learning basic knowledge, and still maintain the ancient magic method when it comes to more advanced spells... It's a good choice."

So far, Voldemort has glimpsed a process of simplification between ancient magic and modern magic.

This process is long, but among them, there are many characters familiar with Voldemort, such as:

Miranda Gosack.

This senior, who is five years higher than Voldemort, has made outstanding contributions to the simplification of spells.

Her standard spells make magic easier and make her famous.

Although I don’t know which year it started, Dean Flitwick chose her book for the Hogwarts Charms book in the 90s:
【Standard spell】

This is a series of books covering all grades of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

But she did not involve higher theories, which may have something to do with her original intention.

As we all know, the reason why she chose to write school textbooks for a living was her hostility to the obscure content in "old-fashioned textbooks".

According to her, when learning those things, she felt that she was in a state of "struggling".

Because of this, what she writes is more accessible, and this is part of the simplification.

"But going to a higher level requires a deeper understanding of the 'ether'."

Voldemort thought about it, put down his books on magic manipulation, and began to study "Ether".

"Ether" is extremely complex, it can point to the spirit, it can also point to the soul, and it can even point to emotions.

Voldemort's previous lack of knowledge of it did not prevent him from using powerful magic.

The reason is that the subconsciousness of the remnant soul is at work.

But now Voldemort began to personally intervene in this part, and he suddenly discovered the power of "ether".

Many times, "ether" cannot be defined because it represents too much.

But if it is not defined, it becomes too illusory to let people grasp the point.

This feeling is like facing the "double slit experiment".

There are results, but you can't figure out why.

When Voldemort was deeply researching this issue, he began to try to let Lin Zuo's consciousness occupy the main body, hoping to find a different breakthrough through the "Muggle perspective".

But he never expected that this would cause him a big trouble.

When the in-depth study reached No. 15 days, he fell into the dilemma of "real and unreal".

The ability to control magic power began to weaken, and the power of magic declined significantly.

That feeling, as if his magical talent was about to leave him, and he was about to become a squib.

He decisively began to suppress the growth of Lin Zuo's consciousness, so as to avoid the embarrassing situation of being a squib.

"Magic requires a freer mind, and Lin Zuo's consciousness is too rigid."

In this crisis, Voldemort realized Lin Zuo's disadvantage.

Although he can bring himself the perspective of the Muggle world, but at the same time, there are also old-fashioned thoughts in his mind, which almost leads him into a dead end.

From this, he thought a lot, such as the formation of Squibs, and his own mother:
Merope Gunter.

Under the suppression of her father and brother, she fell into the predicament of squib, and finally recovered the ability to use magic after her father and brother left.

"The in-depth study of magic is indeed full of dangers, but..."

Voldemort, who had almost suffered a big loss, had excited gleams in his eyes, "If we can discover the difference between a squib and a wizard, it may not be impossible to achieve a breakthrough in magic, and this will also have a great impact on the wizarding world." Impact."

It was a good idea, but he didn't dare to try again.

It's not that he is afraid that he will really become a squib, that must be impossible.

What scares him is the living environment he lives in.

Even temporarily losing the ability to use magic is not allowed at Hogwarts.

There are too many enemies here, obviously not suitable for research.

"Give up part of your thinking and read through these books first."

After clearing his mind, Voldemort once again indulged in the ocean of knowledge.

He frantically absorbed ancient magic knowledge, and slowly, a new idea formed in his mind.

This is a brand-new way of casting magic constructed with the help of Lin Zuo's thoughts and ancient magic instructions.

"If it can be done, the power must be extraordinary."

He thought excitedly, and couldn't wait to take action.
