Chapter 25: Exercises
That night, Linde pushed open the door of the Room of Need. Now he's going to start practicing the squirting spell.
He doesn't need a puppet to help him practice the squirting charm, he just needs to stand by the pool and release it.
So far, he has also understood the various elements of the practice phase to successfully cast a spell.
Wand wielding, spell pronunciation, and spell casting desire.
Both wand wielding and spell pronunciation are used as aids to make it easier and more powerful to use magic. Therefore, advanced techniques such as silent casting and wandless casting will also be derived in the upper grades.
And desire is the most important thing, and if you want to release a good spell, this must be missing.
When desire is strong, even a young wizard like Harry can cast some small spells silently and without a wand. One of the most famous scenes is when Harry Potter blows Aunt Maggie into a balloon.
The Balloon Spell, a small spell learned in the first grade, is classified as a joke spell, in fact, this spell is still very easy to crack, but unfortunately the spellcaster is a little wizard who is extremely angry and can't master his own magic well, and the spell recipient is an ordinary person who has no magic power at all.
At the same time, the accuracy of desire is also a very important issue.
In the fifth battle of the Ministry of Magic, Harry unleashed the Piercing Heart on Bellatrix for the first time due to Sirius's death, but Bella was not affected by the spell at all.
The reason for this was that Harry's mood didn't match the mood of the Piercing Bone Curse. Piercing the heart requires a heartfelt desire to see pain, to enjoy the moment of pain inflicted on others, to listen to the wailing and rejoice in it.
At that time, Harry was simply venting his anger, so even if Bella was hit by this spell, it was only painless.
Of course, if a spell is mastered deep enough, emotions are no longer so important when casting a spell.
Lind adjusted himself and took out his wand and pointed it at the pool below.
"Clear water is like a spring!"
With a flick of the wand, the magic flowed into the wand like a rushing river, and then erupted from the tip of the wand.
Something is wrong –
The massive recoil sent Linde straight backwards. The water gushing from the tip of the rod rushed all the way to the other side of the pool.
Andersen was also so frightened that he flew up.
"How is that possible!" Linde sat on the ground and stared blankly.
The Water Squirting Spell was indeed successfully cast, but it was too powerful.
There was a salty smell in the air, the smell of seawater.
Just now, his magic power poured out like a flood of sluice, and it was not under his control at all, and the magic power turned into a huge stream of water gushing out at the tip of the staff. And this is not clear water at all, but salty seawater.
Visually, the power is no less than that of the water gun spell in Professor Flitwick's photo.
And the magic power in his body was also consumed by a small half, which was caused by the sudden recoil that pushed him down, interrupting the spell casting.
"It's a high-pressure water gun! Why is it seawater?" Lind sighed.
In the past, there was also a theory of the "five elements" in the wizarding world. Wind, earth, water, fire, and the fifth element.
In different myths and legends, the fifth element is said differently, but in Japan it is considered to be "Okura", while some believe that it is "mercy" and so on.
There has never been a unified argument in the wizarding world about what the fifth element is, some people think it is "magic", some people think it is "blood", of course, with the emergence of various kinds of magic, there are few people who care about the so-called elemental theory anymore.
But Linde now had to think about the elementalism.
It's the first time I've used the spell of clear water, and then it's far more powerful than I expected, and my wand is the nerve of a horse-shaped water monster, and I'm a half-fish man (I think).
He still remembered the magic he had unleashed from his heart when he got the wand—a man's rainstorm.
"In other words, I have more 'affinity' for the water element?" Lind was skeptical.
Feeling the remaining magic in his body, he thought back to how he felt the first day he got his wand.
Waving his wand unconsciously, Linde faced the sky with one hand, and there was no desire to cast a spell in his heart.
He tried to control his thoughts: cast—
That's all, there is no fixed cast content, cast target. Of course, deep in his subconscious, there is another layer of desire to be safe.
The wand waved unconsciously in the sky, and he could make a half circle if he wanted to, and half a circle when he wanted to.
With the pull of the magic, thick layers of smoke emerged from the tip of his staff. An idea popped into him.
As if blessed to his soul, he remembered a spell he had seen earlier in Practical Charms: III.
"Ethereal mist—"
Dumbledore had used this spell to shroud the whole of London in a thick fog in an instant.
Suddenly, a large amount of white mist erupted from the tip of Linde's staff, and in other corners of the room, there were places where the mist slowly poured out.
After a while, the entire pool was shrouded in white fog, and the visibility was only one meter.
Lind felt the magic of her near-bottoming out and withdrew her wand. Look at the scene in front of you.
Practical Spells: III. is an old book, and one of the descriptions of this spell is that it is a water elemental spell.
"Whew!" Linde breathed a sigh of relief, groped his way to the edge of the pool, signaled that Andersen was okay, and slowly slipped into the pool.
He needed to think hard about the elementalism, even though it had been rejected a long, long time ago.
And in addition to these, the fact that the water that spouts out of his clear water like a spring is seawater also puzzled him.
In the water, his field of vision is much higher than in the fog.
"What a short finger, the food has been so good lately?!"
Lind looked at his hands.
Wrong!
This is, webcast?
It's not that his fingers have become shorter, it's that a thin membrane has grown between his fingers.
Linde sighed, he must not be flooded in a crowded place in the future, in case any of the blind boys want to use clear water like a spring to make a joke with themselves, and as a result, he grows gills in the eyes of everyone because of the bathing water, it will be very troublesome.
These wizards are extremely exclusive, and the Fish-Man is considered to them to be a more inferior creature. This is also the reason why Madame Maxime is reluctant to admit that she is a half-blood giant.
Perhaps she herself hated the giant blood that flowed through her - because she grew up in an era of wizarding supremacy.
Linde himself lived in a diverse social environment in his previous life, and he naturally did not have much species discrimination, but not necessarily others.
Tomorrow was Sunday, and he was going to go to the library to look up the information on elementalism.
And he didn't simply think that this must be in line with the elementalism. After all, his own clear water is like a spring, and what he releases is seawater.
There must be something different about me.
Now he's not so sure about his half-fish-man ancestry at the beginning.
Unless there are also ethnic classifications of freshwater and saltwater in the fish-man kingdom.
