  Chapter 4075 4077【The Origin of Magic】

 “What are you going to do?” Best looked at Xiang Nan disapprovingly.

"Do you still dare to fight against the two of us?" Samoel also said provocatively.

"Hang the golden bell upside down!" Xiang Nan recited a spell silently, and after a flash of light, Best and Samoel were suddenly hung upside down in the air with their heads down.

 Their feet seemed to be hooked by an invisible hook, and their robes hung down. They were completely unable to move, with a look of panic on their faces.

Everyone in the classroom looked at Xiang Nan in surprise. They didn't expect that he subdued two people in one move. It was really powerful.

 Other students in Slytherin House did not dare to step forward when they saw this. However, Gregory took out his magic wand, stood next to Xiang Nan, and made a precautionary move.

Joy and Benjamin also took out their wands when they saw this.

 Slytherin students didn't dare to move when they saw this.

"Next time you dare to say bad things about me, I won't forgive you." Xiang Nan said, and then waved his hand, and Best and Samoel suddenly fell down and fell backwards.

They finally got up and were about to say something to Xiang Nan, when the door opened and Professor Flitwick walked in. They both could only keep silent.

 …

"Hello, classmates, I am Professor Filius Flitwick, responsible for teaching your Charms class." Professor Flitwick stood on a pile of books and said to Xiang Nan and others, "Charms is a It is a very profound and great knowledge. To learn it well, you must have a focused will, a hardworking spirit and a disdainful effort.

And if you want to learn magic spells well, you must lay a good foundation. Today I will not teach about magic spells. I will first talk about "Magic Theory" and the origin of magic. "

 When the students heard this, they all looked disappointed. They really want to master a few cool spells as soon as possible, and have no interest in boring magic theories at all.

 But Xiang Nan was very interested in it. Because only by understanding the principles of magic can he truly master magic and finally create his own magic.

 So unlike other students, Xiang Nan listened very carefully. This also made Professor Flitwick very satisfied.

 …

Magic spells originated in ancient times. Magic already existed in the ancient Egyptian era in 3000 BC and is still functioning today.

 Many ancient Egyptian ruins and tombs still have powerful protective spells to prevent any outsiders who dare to break in.

 During the ancient Greek period, a group of powerful wizards appeared in Europe. For example, the despicable Herbo, who cultivated the first basilisk and made the first Horcrux; the invincible Andros, who released a Patronus curse as big as a giant; the witch Circe, who was good at transfiguration and could transform people into monsters. Humans transform into pigs; Falco Esalon is the first recorded Animagus to transform into a falcon.

At the same time, the Chinese wizard Zou Yan perfected the theory of the five elements and yin and yang. He was also an outstanding alchemist.

However, although the magic spells in BC were powerful, they were relatively primitive, wild and difficult to master. Therefore, in the Middle Ages, wizards began to set up magic schools to teach children with magical talents so that they could better control magic and release magic.

Hogwarts in the UK, Wagadu in Africa, Beauxbatons in France, Durmstrang in Eastern Europe, etc. were established one after another during this period. Magic was also better inherited and developed, and the system became better and better. It is becoming more and more complete and its functions are becoming richer and richer. For example, Ignatia Wildsmith invented Floo Powder in the 13th century; Grover Hipworth invented a refreshing potion to treat colds; and the flatterer Gregory invented a flattering potion that allowed people to take medicine. Man considers himself his best friend; Felix Summerby invented the Happy Spell…

 …

"Due to the incomplete documentation in ancient times, the specific origin of the curse is unknown." Professor Flitwick further explained, "Wizards from various schools have different opinions on this. They even believe that the history of the curse is far earlier than the origin of mankind. It appeared at the beginning of the universe. For example, ancient Indian wizards believed that the first word "Om" at the beginning of the universe had powerful magic power.

However, various sects generally believe that writing in ancient times was created and used by wizards and contained magical powers. For example, the holy books of ancient Egypt, the cuneiform writing of ancient Babylon, the oracle bones of China, and the runes of Northern Europe...

The magic spells we use today also evolved based on these combinations of words and pronunciations. For example, the incantation for 'lumoshine' is 'Lumos', which is derived from the Latin word 'lumen', which means "light". Latin comes from ancient Greek, ancient Greek comes from ancient Phoenician, and ancient Phoenician comes from ancient Egyptian holy books..."

Xiang Nan was greatly inspired after hearing this, and thought that what Professor Flitwick said was very reasonable.

For example, the holy books of ancient Egypt were created and passed down by priests and monks; Chinese oracle bones were also used by wizards for divination; the legend of runes was created by the priest Odin after he understood the mysteries of the universe...

"These words were created by ancient wizards and contain magic power, so all kinds of magic spells born in later generations are combinations of these words." Xiang Nan thought again.

For example, to invoke divine protection, the incantation is "ExpectoPatronum". Patronus means protector in Latin. Ex is the root of outward, and the root of pector- means front chest.

The meaning of the complete spell is to generate a silver-white animal-shaped patron saint from the wizard's body to protect the owner.

For example, the disappearing spell, the spell is "Evanesco", E means outward, van- means empty, so it means "disappear without a trace".

“That’s it, that’s how the spell was created.” Xiang Nan suddenly realized.

 After knowing the origin and principle of the magic spell, he can try to develop his own magic spell in the future. Just like after learning C language, you can try programming.

 In fact, in the original work, it is not inconceivable that even students can develop powerful spells.

For example, when Finnegan Seamus cast "Clear Water Like a Spring", he waved his wand too hard, and turned a clear spring into a water dragon, knocking Professor Flitwick away. Therefore, Professor Flitwick punished him for copying, "I am a wizard, not a baboon swinging a stick."

 But actually thinking about it, he could try to increase the power of the spell, from "clear water like a spring" to "water dragon coming out of the hole", making it as powerful as a high-pressure water gun or even a high-pressure water jet.

 In that case, I'm afraid it would not be much different from the power of magic spells such as Divine Blade Shadowless, Shattered Bones, Thunderbolt Explosion, and Thousands of Bullets.

  Another example is the Weasley brothers’ Wizarding Wheezes, which has launched many creative products. There is a kind of hat that can make your head disappear after you put it on. This is a very powerful invisibility spell. Not to mention a hat that automatically releases the Iron Armor Curse.

Of course, developing magic spells is not an easy task.

 With Snape’s talent, the development of the magic spell still needs to be revised. I don’t know how many versions it will go through before it can be finalized. And Luna Lovegood's mother also lost her life because something went terribly wrong while testing a new spell.

In order to test new products, the Weasley brothers also went out of their way to test them on themselves. As a result, they were often left bruised and bruised.
