Hogwarts Mystery Sequence

[Before learning magic theory, you must first have a clear understanding of magic. This will save me a lot of detours when learning magic——

Magic is an extension of the wizard's spirit. Through magic, the wizard can rewrite the world according to his own wishes. In other words, magic is idealistic.

In the magical world, spirit is the origin of the world.

What is the nature of magic or wizards?

--It's magic.

Only those with magical powers can become wizards; only wizards with magical powers can cast magic.

So, what is the nature of magic?

Looking at the various miraculous magics in this world, I think magic can be regarded as a "god" who is omnipotent and can easily achieve miracles;

Spells and waving wands are rituals for wizards to communicate with "gods", and the sacrifice is their own magic power and spirit. Some black magic may also require other costs, such as life;

So if you can "connect with the gods" anytime and anywhere, does that mean...casting spells without a wand?

Maybe that's the limit for wizards?

This notebook was written when Amon was seven years old. The front is filled with some reading notes and "random thoughts". It seems quite confusing until the page breaks - "On the Past and Present Life of a Magic Curse".

It was a book Amon was reading about how to create a new spell.

The appearance of the book is very old and worn, and the footers are heavily damaged. The content inside is garbled and confusing, and it is more like a notebook than a book.

Well...just like Amon's.

The book takes the Flying Spell as an example, and does not clearly describe how to create such a summoning spell that can make distant objects fly to the hands of the spell caster.

The later part also has a theoretical discussion on how to further integrate some magic spells with similar or complementary properties to create more perfect new magic spells.

At the end, the author mentioned that he/she conducted some tentative experiments using several magic spells such as hiding spells and invisibility spells, and recorded the experiments.

Finally, there are words of advice to the successors, especially those extremely dangerous parts of the attempt.

At that time, Amon realized that the book was the research notes left by Nott's ancestor.

It was also from that time that Amon suddenly became interested in exploring the history of the Nott family.

According to the family records he later found, the Nott family was actually not a native wizarding family in England—

Nott is the name of the goddess of night in Nordic mythology. The Nott family named after this is naturally from Northern Europe, but they have settled in England a long time ago, and they are no different from the local wizard families.

The unique magic skills of the Nott family were not magic potions at first, but some special spells related to the title "Goddess of the Night". That was Nott's unique magic skills before coming to the British magic world. The family's foundation in the Nordic magic world!

However, on the one hand, it may be that those magic spells are too old, at least several hundred years old;

On the other hand, in the British magical world, the Nott family's specialty is potions, so from generation to generation Nott may have changed the direction of research and gradually shelved the family's old craftsmanship.

For this reason, Amon spent a lot of time wandering in the dark underground library, just to find the road hidden by history.

He is not only curious about the mysterious magic spells that are closely related to family mottos and family names, but he is also interested in the process of ancestors tapping the potential of magic spells, integrating the characteristics of magic spells, and creating new magic spells.

If he could get a little inspiration or two from it, maybe many of his fantastic ideas would be possible to realize. Isn't magic supposed to be such a magical thing?

But what Amon didn't expect was that, according to records found in some predecessors' notes later, until the previous generation of the family head, his grandfather, inherited the family, there were still people in the Nott family walking that ancient path.

In other words, the Knott family has never given up on their old business.

I just don’t know what happened. Half of the inheritance was broken down to Grandpa Amon’s generation. I tried old Nott and got no results...

At that time, Amon inexplicably thought of Grindelwald, the Dark Lord of Voldemort's previous generation...

But before Amon could go further to confirm his guess, an unexpected discovery diverted his attention - he found a darkroom hidden by magic in the library. The dusty parchment scrolls in the darkroom were actually larger than the bookshelf outside. There are so many books!

A question has been circulating in the wizarding world: Who knows how many secrets of the wizarding world Master Cantankerus Nott, who wrote the "Pure Blood Directory"?

Amon knew the answer to this question when he saw those parchment scrolls: enough to fill an entire library!

At the same time, Amon also suddenly understood the motto of the Nott family: What is nobler than the starry sky and longer than eternity is the mystery of the wizard.

How long has that darkroom been there?

How many secrets are sealed inside?

How much secret and forbidden magical knowledge is there?

Amon didn't know, but he knew he would never let himself down.

From then on, his notes became more organized, as if he had suddenly found his goal.

In addition to his family's ancient spells and summarizing the various experiments of his predecessors, Amon's research was to explore his own way to create spells - since he lives in such a magical world of magic, of course he needs to find the miracles that once only existed in fantasy. All came true one by one!

But the more ancient manuscripts and information Amon found in the darkroom, the more he discovered a problem through research: most new spells were born very randomly.

That’s right, that’s the adjective: casual!

Even the wizard who creates a new spell has little idea how he/she created that spell at the time.

Maybe it was just a certain venting of extreme emotions that led to the birth of a new curse, or maybe a wrong spell was recited in excitement...

In other words, the creation of a new curse is almost based on chance. From the accidental results, the process is reversed, experience is summed up, and it becomes inevitable. A new curse is born!

This is the main reason why there are fewer and fewer new curses in modern times - with the popularization of education and the standardization of curses, the possibility of accidents has been greatly reduced. Instead, it is necessary to enter ancient tombs and ruins to face dangerous curses. Spellbreakers became the main force in creating new spells.

Of course, if a very talented wizard can practice a spell to an extremely advanced level, he may be able to create the same type of spell by analogy, but to create a spell subjectively requires a lot of luck.

Probably only wizards like Dumbledore can do it without relying mainly on luck, but when they reach that level, the path of magic has already been determined, and the magic spells are enough. The rest is just study, and there is no need to spend any energy. Go fix those bells and whistles...

During that time, Amon was at a loss. Since he wanted to realize all his wild fantasies, he needed to find a practical way to create new spells.

He didn't want to walk along the existing road and then randomly piece together a bunch of "little red flowers" he got along the way.

In Amon's view, that was putting the cart before the horse, and the existing magic simply couldn't reach the level he wanted.

At that time, while opening his notebook, Amon saw the essay he had originally written.

When he saw the information again, he felt as if he had been enlightened.

It was then that Amon suddenly realized that in addition to being a trainee wizard, he was also a true prophet.

"You must never take any of your actions and intuitions lightly again!" He emphatically noted in his notes, "Also, review is a good habit and needs to be maintained!"

Then, Amon quickly sorted out his flash of realization——

He first drew a circle in his notebook that symbolized "the omnipotence of magic";

Then use a vertical line to penetrate the circle, which represents "the magical power of wizard communication";

The combination of the two symbolizes "magic can achieve all the miracles you believe in";

Finally, Amon wrapped this eye-like pattern in a triangle, which means the trinity of magic, wizard, and magic, forming a ring on its own.

In the process of painting and calligraphy, Amon followed his inspiration completely, and what appeared on the paper was such a very familiar pattern to him - the symbol of the Deathly Hallows!
