Chapter Eighty-Five: A Meteor
The threads tightened, and Brandi gasped in pain, writhing desperately to break free. But the little boy just laughed at him loudly, and the little boy's body was like ice cream exposed to the sun in summer, escaping blue steam visible to the naked eye, and his facial features began to melt.
"Put me down...... I can't breathe, uh-"
"Brandy~"
"Quick... Put me down—"
"Brother, stop ......"
Brother!??
With a familiar shout, Brandi, who was in the clouds, fell back to the ground with a hard blow, and he suddenly woke up from his dream. He found himself leaning limply under a large tree, still holding his wand tightly in his hand. A delicate figure was leaning on her shoulder, nodding her head for a while, and her mouth was talking strange dream words, even if she was confused, she still did not forget to tug at his sleeve in her hand. The other guy was crouching mischievously in front of him, pinching his nose softly with his fingers.
So I can't breathe in my dreams because of you...... He flicked the hand that was pinching his nose in disgust, and received a chuckle like a silver bell.
By this time, the sky had become dark, and it could be completely dark at any moment, and the woods were full of shadows, mixed with the sound of trampling leaves, and Brandy could even faintly see something speeding into the bushes in the distance.
The thought of sleeping in such a dangerous place for so long made him feel a cold sweat break out on his back.
Thank goodness that he hadn't been eaten by the beasts, and he was able to sleep so deeply—the night in early May wasn't a warm night, and Brandi should have woken up from the cold, but he still had warm heat on his body, and he looked down at his robe, and found that there was still some brownish-black fluff on it. It's as if someone had just slept and put on a thick cashmere coat for themselves.
"Selph, Luna? You are ......."
He sat up straight and said, somewhat dazed. But before he finished speaking, his still confused brain immediately made him realize the situation he was in, and hurriedly opened his mouth anxiously. "Why did you get to the Forbidden Forest, didn't Hagrid tell you to go back sooner?"
"I don't want a slacker sleeping in the Forbidden Forest to say that, Brandy." Luna was eating and laughing, and Yale was lying at her feet, sprinkling joy. "We were all about to go back to the castle, but Selph had to come and see you, for she was afraid that you would catch a cold if you slept too heavily here—you see, we've been with you for a long time!"
"Well, that's right......" Brandy muttered, and when he heard that it was Salf who had come to care for him, a warm current welled up in his heart, but—was there something wrong?
"Isn't that right?" He looked at Luna suspiciously. "I didn't tell Hagrid that I was here, how did Sorph know where I was, and besides, she knew I was sleeping here?!"
Luna hummed a dizzy tune briskly, and pulled the still confused Self into her arms, not knowing what to think, as if she had interpreted Brandi's question as a compliment. "Don't underestimate Sharf, she's the person in the world who knows and cares about you best."
The intense action finally woke Sralf, who rubbed her eyes, sat up from Brandy's side, and greeted her softly. "Phew~ Good morning, brother."
Do you think it's the next morning...... Brandi thought to herself.
The situation was a little strange now, and he couldn't figure out why the Forbidden Forest was so gentle to everyone here today, but given the safety of Selph and Luna, it was obviously more important than any doubt to get out of this still dangerous forest as soon as possible. He got up from the ground with a carp, and without saying a word, he was about to send the two little girls back to the castle.
Who knows, he didn't take two steps before he was stopped by Sharf.
"Brandi ......"
He turned his head, and Sharph's eyes sparkled in the dim forest.
"Brandi." Seeing that Brandi was stunned and unresponsive, she timidly repeated it again.
"Ah, what's wrong?" Brandi said.
"Can I help you? It's so hard for you to look like this—"
"Help?" Brandi said confusedly, his gaze away from Sharf's body and into the incantation-baptized ground behind him...... "You mean this?" He pointed to the glass crystals burned by the Magic Fire Spell, and Salph nodded as if a chicken pecked rice.
"Well, I'm actually experimenting with a more dangerous magic." Brandi said, "I discovered it by accident, and if I could unleash it in its entirety, it would be much more powerful than what you see." But......" he scratched his head a little awkwardly, "it's still experimental—"
He thought he had explained it clearly, but Sharf was still looking at him expectantly. Brandi began to panic, "Eh, Sharf, you want to tell me that you want to help me with this spell??? ”
Sorph didn't speak, but the look on her face certainly showed it.
………………
Brandi admits that Self is indeed another version of Miss Jack-of-all-trades, or rather, she is somehow much more powerful than Hermione. Because as far as Dumbledore had shown him, she would have been able to do nothing other than the practice of magic and transfiguration, and all of Salph's other theoretical courses had so far achieved perfect grades.
This is a rare achievement, even since the founding of Hogwarts.
Listen, full marks in all academic grades in theory classes? Is this something that a normal person can do? Academic performance is not comparable to any quizzes and exams, and its scores are based on their usual classroom performance and homework for a long time, and generally speaking, no professor will give students perfect marks...... Like Hermione, her usual performance was also perfect, but she never got a perfect score in any subject. What's more, there's also Potions in there...... With Snape's hostility towards the other three houses, Brandi couldn't even imagine what kind of immortal operation Salph had done to completely conquer the heart of such an old bat.
But no matter how strong your theoretical knowledge is, it's unlikely that you'll be able to develop spells after a year. Especially since Brandi's magic is not just an ordinary spell.
So Brandi struggled for a moment, and in order to be able to smoothly fool the matter through on the premise of making Self happy, he simply changed the simple way of saying the problem he had encountered - "Alright then, Self...... yes, I've been trying to ...... lately Hmm, how to make spells more powerful. So I've been trying to infuse more magic into the spell, which is also mentioned in the spell book, called overcasting. However, the book also mentions that once the excess mana reaches a certain level, the magic link between the spellcaster and the wand becomes very unstable, if it is not controllable...... It's going to be like this—"
He was a little farther away from Salph and the others, and after applying the Iron Armor Charm with his glove, he summoned a golden fireball, in fact, with Brandy's mental control, it was easy to exceed it by three or four times. But in order not to be injured by mistake, he deliberately relaxed his control over the magic power, and as soon as the golden fireball was shot, it immediately exploded and disintegrated in the air, turning into a bright firework in the night sky.
Luna and Yale, with their heads stacked on top of each other, looked excitedly at the flames flying in the sky.
"I wondered what else could I do to break through this boundary and greatly increase the power of the spell, other than to increase my control over the magic?" Brandi feigned regret and spread her hands to Sralf.
Although he asked this question, Brandi didn't have much hope for Selph, if this question was really so easy to solve, it wouldn't be the content of the spell book as an exam in 1992.
In fact, Sharf's first words were also in line with Brandy's expectations. "If it's just 'Flame', if you want to inject more than the upper limit of magic power required by the spell itself, there is no good way to force and maintain the spell itself by relying on spiritual power."
This answer was a surprise to Brandi, because the Charms class in the first year would only briefly mention that maintaining a high level of concentration and calm thoughts would affect the success rate and effectiveness of magic, and would not mention what kind of effect mental power would have on the spell itself. From Sharph's answers, it can be seen how many books she usually reads that are beyond the scope of freshmen.
However, what Brandi didn't expect was that there was a follow-up to her words.
"But—"
But? Brandy's mouth opened unexpectedly.
"Since this restriction is due to the upper limit of the spell, why not just change the spell?"
…………
hat! Spell Change???
Brandi watched as Sorf pulled out her wand, thinking she was lucky enough to see Sorve's magic. Unexpectedly, she just used her wand as a stick to scratch something on the ground. Brandi graciously went over to light her, and found that Salph had written all the familiar symbols. He swore he didn't know any of them, but he always felt as if he had seen such symbols somewhere......
"Wizards cast their spells with chanting and wands, and even silent spells must be chanted in their hearts. This is because a complete spell contains the three foundational elements that support the construction of magic...... How much magic is provided, in what way, and in what effect. She was casually talking to Brandi as she drew strange symbols. The function of the wand is to activate the core of the wand according to the three elements of the chanting spell, and transform the magic into the complete magic that the spell caster intended. Of course, this can be done without a wand, just by the wizard's own magical control, but at a cost of more time and mana - from The Making and Dismantling of Simple Spells, Chapter 4, Section 7. ”
“…… Are you endorsing? Brandi watched her movements stunned, and he felt that Salph's tone was dry, and a little reluctant, as if he had memorized an elementary school text. Where did this book come from, and how come I had never seen it in the library? Is it a forbidden book zone? ”
Salph's wand paused, drawing a circle over the last word. "The Composition and Dismantling of Simple Spells," by Rowena Ravenclaw, 1022. The book is in the Ravenclaw Plane Library, third row, eleven columns. ”
Looking at Brandi's incredulous expression, Luna kindly explained beside her. "It's the Ravenclaw treasure, the one that opens as long as the knocker is satisfied. The knocker seems to be particularly fond of Salph......"
Brandi suddenly realized, and couldn't help but start to envy Selph's good luck. It turns out that moe is not only effective for people, but even the door knocker eats this set.
"Fire Charm, basic magic, full length of seven syllables, a set of gestures. consumption, three standard units instantaneously, one standard unit per second thereafter; mode, spherical, trajectory guidance; Expected effect, burning, diffusion. Sharf said, tapping a few times on her symbol, and of course, Brandi could only watch the play the whole time. She paused for a moment, and then suddenly said:
"Just change it to a consumption of six units?"
"Huh?" Brandi realized that he was talking to him, and he hesitated. "Well, Salph, if you can't reach that consumption, can the spell be unleashed?"
Salph nodded. "But the actual effect will be unpredictable...... But the spell will certainly be complete. ”
"That's it......" Brandi thought in his heart, if he wanted to reach the previous level, he needed five times the amount of the super magic fire spell, and the consumption of his own super magic state was very objective, so how many magic spells would there be... Three-five-one-fifteen, five-five-two-hundred-six... He mentally calculated for a long time, and found that this problem seemed to be a little difficult for a male wizard with a primary school math level, so he thought about his bottomless magic reserves, and confidently and casually reported a number. "Then let's get a nine-hundred?"
???
Salph tilted her head, looking at Brandi with a strange look. But she struggled a bit, and didn't alert Brandi...... Ten minutes later, she stopped what she was doing and pronounced an unfamiliar string of syllables.
"Do you want to try it? Blondie. She leaned forward, her eyes a little complicated.
No one could refuse the fluttering eyes, and Brandi nodded uneasily, "Sharf, have you ever transformed any spells before?" Death was on the verge of death, he asked with some trepidation. Like the simplest, fluorescent spell or something? ”
Salph shook her head, looking at her wand with a slightly frustrated expression. Brandy remembered that Self seemed to be a squib, and he quickly shut his mouth honestly.
"Okay, then you must stay away from me, I can't say what big basket will come out." He stood far away at the other end of the clearing with the will to die and not to live, his nervous hands shaking. Brandy's mouth was just shining, but now that he thinks about it, if Salph's spell had been modified correctly—the one he was about to cast was three hundred fire spells stacked together!
Merlin Bless ......
Brandi prayed in his heart, and he raised his wand and pointed high up at the sky.
"Wow!" Luna exclaimed in surprise.
Brandi sensed something was wrong.
The furious mana immediately boiled and rampaged through their bodies, and they all flowed towards the wand where his right hand was, and in his mind, the wand core had completely turned into a huge vortex, swallowing up the magic all over Brandi's body in just a few seconds. The fiery runes unfolded in an instant, and a large magic array of three or four feet appeared on the head of the wand, which was obviously a fire spell, but in the center of the magic array, there was an ominous white light.
(Cheng... It worked?! )
Brandi relived the experience of magical exhaustion again, I don't know if it was due to age, this powerlessness and weakness were far more painful than in the first grade. The significance of that white light was obvious—the sheer amount of mana input successfully activated the Luminescent Spell Delayed Sign, and there was no doubt that it was a composite spell!
“Inmeteoricendio! (Heavenly Fire Divine Judgment)"
That night, all the Hogwarts students who were gazing at the night sky saw a magical scene, albeit only for a few seconds, but it was dawn.
Brandi sat quietly on the grass, the side effect of the spell that prevented him from even lifting his legs, and now he was completely in pain and happy. "This spell... I guess I can only use it when I want to fight to the death. It's—"
"Salph." He limbly called out his sister's name, "You created the spell, come and name it." ”
"Shall I get up?" Sharf walked over and sat down beside him. "Flame, light, devotion and sacrifice...... Brandi, can you call it a 'Shooting Star'? I love the name. ”
