Chapter 214: The Power of the Legend
Legend should be a kind of soul transformation, the sublimation of will.
For wizards, the importance of soul and will is self-evident.
The soul determines the strength of the magic power, and the will determines the efficiency of the use of the magic power.
Of course, these are all Severus guesses.
This is where the wizarding world gets tangled, and while the study of magic seems to be in place, Severus thinks it's a bit of putting the cart before the horse.
Why?
Because the research of the wizarding world is mainly aimed at the application of magic and the exploration of spell-casting techniques.
You only have to see all kinds of strange magic spells in the movie, not only battles, pranks, but even life magic have developed various categories.
All the magic spells add up to tens of thousands, and there should still be them.
Research into new magic spells is also highly encouraged in the wizarding world.
Many of the students' greatest achievements in school were researching and inventing a few spells, such as Severus. Snape is.
After graduation, my biggest interest besides Quidditch was the study of spells.
And the wizards who died because of studying spells were the most wizards who died in this way before the black-and-white confrontation between Voldemort and the Order of the Phoenix.
However, in Severus's view, while enchantments are important, the nature of magic is obviously more important, isn't it?
And when it comes to the study of the nature of magic, there are not many wizards who are interested.
That's a bit advanced and uninteresting.
However, relatively speaking, as long as they have studied the nature of magic, such wizards are basically famous wizards, and they are strong.
Like Dumbledore, like Gellert. Grindelwald.
Even though the Buddha Demon is a little off, he has his own unique understanding of magic.
However, the results of this research did not reach the wizarding world.
Obviously, like the Muggle nuclear bomb, wizards in the wizarding world obviously don't want every wizard to grow to Dumbledore's level.
Otherwise, the Buddha Demon may not be alone,
Maybe he will have a lot of brothers, Buddha Heavenly Demon, Sun Earth Demon and the like.
This study of the nature of magic is artificially limited, not even much taught in school.
- Except for Transfiguration!
Severus finally knew why the professor of Transfiguration was so important, and almost all of the Transfiguration professors ended up being the principal.
Because Transfiguration is the only course at Hogwarts that explains the nature of magic!
Others, such as enchantments and Defence Against the Dark Arts, are only dealt with in small amounts.
And potions, to be honest, even the current Severus dare not say how deep he knows the nature of potions.
How so?
Potions can be said to be a special manifestation of magic, how can you understand a special transformation of magic if you practice magic without fully understanding it?
It is said that most of the current potions are actually based on continuous experimentation and trial and error, and the experience obtained is still a little bit worse than the theoretical aspect.
It's like the development of chemistry.
In ancient times, even in modern times, chemistry has always been a summary of experience, although there is a certain theoretical basis, but it is not enough to support the formation of chemical system.
But that doesn't stop people from using chemistry knowledge, does it?
It's like the invention of gunpowder, and it came out like that, and I don't know the principle at all, but it still works.
It was not until the discovery of Mendeleev's periodic law, the establishment of the atomic theory, and the valence bond theory that chemistry moved towards the road of science.
And now, the potions are still a little far away.
In other words, the potions are still missing, and the most critical node has not been opened.
Severus was acutely aware of this node, but it wasn't easy to actually find it.
Therefore, Severus must first study the nature of magic, and then he can introduce the essence of potions, find out the laws of potions, and when it comes to developing potions, there is no need to use trial and error.
At that time, it was possible to work out the preparation method of potions in reverse according to the properties of the potions needed, and then look for materials that could provide similar magical powers.
This is just like modern molecular synthesis, which generally designs the required molecular structure on the computer, then simulates the synthesis route, and then conducts a small amount of preparation in the laboratory, that is, a small test, and finally scales up for industrial production.
Compared to that, potions still have a long way to go!
While Severus was still emotionally associating, the dinosaurs around Severus had overcome Severus's intimidation.
Not all dinosaurs had brains, and some were directly controlled by a short temper.
For example, now, in addition to the dinosaurs that are close and feel more deeply, there are many dinosaurs who are eager to try.
They didn't think Severus was a threat with such a small size.
As for the power just now, what is it? Did something just happen?
They have long forgotten!
And Severus was of course paying attention to these undead dinosaurs when he was thinking, and he could just try his hand at them.
So when a dinosaur that was thirty meters tall like a Tyrannosaurus rex began to attack, Severus did not hesitate to slap at the giant mouth.
This trick Severus is most familiar with.
And I used it a few times on the way here, and it can best reflect the change in strength.
And the magic didn't disappoint.
The huge figure that had been enveloping Severus was still running forward, but its mouth was already bleeding, and its originally open mouth closed, and its steps slowly stopped, and finally fell in front of Severus.
There is still a hunger for food in its eyes!
Severus's magic had penetrated its brain, cutting a hole of more than a meter in its mouth.
If his head were smaller, he would have shaved off the top half of his head.
At the same time, other dinosaurs pounced, and even the death of their companions could not make them afraid.
Or rather, they are not companions at all.
Some dinosaurs have already begun to gnaw at corpses on the ground.
Severus, of course, didn't want to fight these dinosaurs.
It doesn't matter if you can win or not.
It doesn't make sense at all.
There is no good in killing.
Figuring out your combat effectiveness is pretty much the same.
Obviously, through the experiment just now, his casting level and magic power have been greatly improved, and his combat power has at least tripled.
And these dinosaurs obviously can't test their limits.
Thus, Severus just escaped from the dinosaurs with a flying charm, and then turned around and unleashed a Transfiguration Charm at the mound behind him.
This spell is even more powerful to the legend!
Under the spell of Severus, the entire hillside began to shake, as if it had been an earthquake, the earth cracked, and then the earth began to roll and swell to the sides, and the buildings hidden by the dirt began to reveal their figures.
A quarter of an hour later, the remains of a monumental building, covering an area of almost 1,000 square meters, appeared in front of Severus.
And the dinosaurs that were still chasing Severus also ran away in the mud waves.
Before they could run, they had already been buried under the dirt, forming new small dirt slopes.
Severus's spell directly changed the terrain of this area, and it already had the power of Moses to divide the sea!
