Chapter 11 on Magic

"Damn London, it's cloudy again. On January 1, 1988, Joe muttered as he brushed his teeth. "Let me think about what the big things are going on in the year. He muttered to himself as he calmly spat out the toothpaste foam from his mouth. "January 1 - The United States and Canada sign a bilateral trade agreement. January 2 - U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Canadian Prime Minister Mulroney sign the U.S.-Canada Free Trade Agreement. Damn, I've been working on magic and recipes lately, and I almost forgot about it. There must be a movement in the U.S. stock price, so we need to hurry up and let John help make a profit. ”

To add that John was a partner hired by David to help Joe with his business, and of course he was ostensibly working for David

After breakfast, under Joe's repeated requests, David went to help Joe earn extra money. By the way, because of Joe's special talent and mature temperament, David and Anna did not ask him to go to an ordinary elementary school, so at present, Joe has been unemployed at home, and occasionally asks David or Anna to help him make a fortune when he thinks of something, and at first the two of them helped Joe with the mentality of cultivating children, but with Joe's "prediction" ability, the family has paid a lot of attention to Joe's opinion. After all, a casual one is worth a month's salary of David, not counting the shares of Microsoft and Apple, no one will be disgusted with a lot of money, right? If it weren't for the couple's love for their work enough, they would have already helped Joe take care of it himself at home.

"What's for dinner?" said after breakfast, and Joe began to feel his habitual distress again. "Today seems to be New Year's Day, so let's make some dumplings! ”

Joe made up his mind and went back into the basement to begin his magical research.

He first opened a notebook, which was neatly filled with a large number of words, many places marked with red pens for key points, some places with red pens to write: experimental materials and data are insufficient to be verified, and some places were marked with red pens with big crosses. Thanks to the study habits developed by the high school teachers, these solutions are still so useful even when making inductive summaries in another world.

This is Joe's creativity and conjecture, I saw him open the book, and there are words: "The 112th attempt to transform the spell by transforming the magic pattern failed, try a new combination of magic patterns, the magic fusion has made significant progress, and the transformation technique has been initially used to transform some magic spells・・・・・・"

That's Joe's routine, crazy, but happy and fulfilling. Sometimes Joe thinks about running in the sunset, no, sometimes he thinks about his senior year of high school, when he never focused on the tactics of the sea of questions like many of his peers to improve his proficiency in formulas. On the contrary, they prefer to explore the meaning behind the company, and understand the scope of its application by understanding the inner meaning of the formula. Of course, the result is that others are more proficient in doing problems, but Joe's thinking is more flexible, and Joe also derives a large number of formulas in different ranges of conclusive formulas. To put it bluntly, when doing physics problems, other people solve the problem step by step according to the routine, while Joe condenses and simplifies the routine into the simplest formula in advance, and then brings in the problem to draw a conclusion directly. However, because of this, Joe's big questions have always had few pitiful steps, and sometimes he has to deliberately make up the steps (each step of the physics problem has a step score), so he is often ridiculed by the physics teacher that Joe's approach is unique.

As for the reason, there is only one word!

I'm ・・・・・・ (a lot of harmonized words), you actually say it's because you're lazy, it's a public show-off! Invisible pretense! Someone will say that.

But the author didn't write blindly, nor did he pretend to be forced, because it was really because he was lazy, but not lazy in the traditional sense, but just a simple ・・・・・・ too lazy to write.

If you are too lazy to write, you can only use your brain!

Think about how cool it is to spend more time analyzing, and you can algebra directly when doing small problems, without having to write troublesome calculation steps on scratch paper! Of course, there are pros and cons, and the disadvantage is that Joe's big question steps are often a mess (they all get the answer directly, who is still in the mood to write the steps!), so compared with the students who brush the questions, in addition to doing the questions quickly, there is no strong advantage!

Now this habit has been inherited, and it is useful, allowing Joe to do his research happily every day instead of being "forced" to study magic with a bitter face under the threat of Voldemort.

Through research, it has been found that walnuts are rich in DHHA, which helps brain development. Through research, it has been found that magic is mainly through the supernatural power of magic, which has some unknowable resonance with things in the natural world, to produce all kinds of magical supernatural phenomena!

What is a spell that can cause the supernatural just by magic?

The spells in this world originally came from the ancient magic text, the original magic text came from the imitation of the patterns on the body of the magic beast and the image of the magic beast, this magical text is actually essentially a special magic circuit structure, writing words, while injecting magic power, you can cause supernatural phenomena, the size of the phenomenon is related to the accuracy of the magic text and the amount of magic material and magic injected.

Later, people learned to release supernatural phenomena by themselves through their own magic circuits that imitated ancient magic patterns, and later some wizards discovered that imitating the sounds and movements of magical beasts could assist in forming magic circuits with higher precision, which was the original spell.

But humans and monsters are still different races after all, so while people create spells and imitate and learn magic circuits, they are also simplifying and transforming spells and magic texts to make them more suitable for human use.

Later, the wand was born. For wizards, the historical significance of the birth of the wand is absolutely no less than the beginning of the use of fire by apes. And the function of the wand is also very simple, greatly improving the resonance effect of magic and the natural world, and at the same time as a carrier for the release of a large number of spells, such as spells like Avada Suo, if you don't use a wand to release, then the first person to come into contact with the spell is definitely not the enemy, but the releaser. In this way, it is hard to imagine that a person can live after releasing this spell with his finger, and not every mother is named Lily!

The original wand was just a twig, and the increase in resonance effect was negligible, and the effect as a carrier was also very poor, so it was barely able to release a few stun spells. Later, people tried to add some magical items to it, such as unicorn hair or something, and then the wand technology improved by leaps and bounds, and it gradually became the most powerful weapon in the hands of human wizards, who used it to conquer other magical races, and once the limelight was unparalleled.

But then, the Muggles rose, and it turned out that no matter how powerful a wizard was, he was all done in the face of endless crowd tactics・・・・・・

In the long river of time, human beings have created countless powerful spells, but they have all been buried in the dust of history with the passage of time, and some of the magic that has been handed down has become black magic in people's mouths because of its strong lethality, too much cost, affecting the mind and being difficult to control.

As for many fandoms saying that the magic here is weak, although Joe won't scoff at it, he still doesn't dare to agree. The spells here have been developed over the years, and most of them have been reduced to the most suitable version for humans, which is simple to cast, easy to learn, and not weakly powerful.

I say that there must be someone who disagrees, so don't rush to express your opinion, first listen to my analysis in making a final conclusion, everyone who plays online games knows that the output of a character does not depend on the damage of the character's move, but depends on the damage played per unit of time. The total destructive power of Voldemort in "Harry Potter" is probably equivalent to that of a high-level mage in DND, who is a 9-ring archmage, which is not as good as a legendary mage! But if you talk about the output per unit of time, Voldemort's silent spell casting technique can probably release about 30 to 50 "Avada Lives" in 30 seconds (don't tell me that Voldemort's magic power is not so much, after the gold cup was stolen, Voldemort used Arvada to kill in Gringotts, and put a lot of guards in a lot of guards, and it was just gasping.) How many "Death Fingers" can a DND's 9-ring archmage issue at the same time?

The author is in no way belittling DND. The strength of DND Master lies not in the front, but in the grasp of the overall layout and rhythm. If you really let Voldemort and the 9-ring archmage go head-to-head, as long as the archmage doesn't show off his head and play a head-on spell fight, basically Voldemort's win rate is zero.

Every world has its own advantages!" sighed Joe.

He closed his book and rested back in his chair when suddenly he slapped his head.

"Oops! Today seems to be 1988, haha I'm finally liberated!" Joe exclaimed excitedly, "That dumpling・・・・・・ well・・・・・・ just make it for David and Anna, just make their favorite flavor!"

"Let's make dumplings!"
