Chapter 14: Talent
No way? Looking at the newcomer like this? Is it such a lofty topic in the first place?
"Magic ......," Professor Flitwick said, waving his wand indiscriminately, in a reverent tone, "an unpretentious name, but with all-encompassing power." β
"As the name suggests, magic, with magical magic and power. It keeps everything in the wizarding world running. Professor Flitwick paused and stroked the frame on the bridge of his nose, "You should know that every wizard has a unique talent, which is the most important condition for them to become a wizard. And when you can perceive the presence of magic is another indicator of talent among wizards. β
Speaking of this, Professor Flitwick pointed at Norlin, and his tone was a little vicissitudes and some relief: "Obviously, your talent belongs to the top among wizards. β
"Don't lie to me if you don't lie to me if you don't read much magic books," Nolin said with a touch ......of his nose as he was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Professor Flitwick glanced at him and said to himself: "Every beginner wizard, when he first releases magic, only relies on the power of spells and wands, with spells as the carrier and wand as the guide, and the most important magic to complete magic is the object that is carried and guided. When they can recognize the existence of magic - maybe three or five years, maybe ten years, maybe a lifetime, maybe ...... In two or three days, their magic level will move to another level. β
"So, the advanced level of a wizard is to be able to perceive and use magic without being aware of it?" Norin asked with a deep groan.
The light in the office was dim, and the young wizard's eyes were shining.
"Use ......," Professor Flitwick looked at him thoughtfully, and did not answer directly, "After perceiving the magic power, the wizard's casting strength will become controllable, and there will be no excessive or too small magic power, and the total amount of magic power in the body will be clearly visible, try to avoid the mana drying up." Once they reach a certain level, they can cast spells silently and without a staff. β
Norlin nodded knowingly, looking beneficial.
"Obviously, you have a great advantage of being able to sense magic as a beginner, you can control the spell with precision, see the trajectory of the magic, and more importantly, you can practice it now."
"Lying ...... Oh my God, can you still practice magic? Norin forced a foul word, in his memory, there was never a single mention of magic cultivation in the original book.
"Of course." Professor Flitwick was a little surprised by Nolin's strange tone, "Generally speaking, the total amount of magic power increases with the age of the mage, and after perceiving the magic power, you can carry out targeted practice, which we call meditation. This is a wizard powerful at the root. β
Hearing this, Norin looked down at the "Magic Analysis and Meditation" in his arms, and said, "So, this book is ......"
"That's right, that's your guide to initial meditation." Professor Flitwick affirmed, "Of course, don't meditate for too long, just an hour or two a day, otherwise it will damage your spirit very much." β
"Okay, thank you, Professor Flitwick. Then I'll go back first? Nolin couldn't wait to go back and try the meditation experience.
Professor Flitwick understood his little idea and smiled in response.
When Norlin returned to his dorm, Smith hadn't returned, and it seemed that the food in the restaurant had made him linger. Norlin remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch yet, but he had no idea of going to the cafeteria again. Not to mention that he was not hungry for the time being, the book "Magic Analysis and Meditation" in his arms was exuding an alluring fragrance, eagerly waiting for Norin to open it.
The book is divided into two parts, namely the interpretation of magic as mentioned in the title and the meditation method. The analysis was not long, and it was not much different from what Professor Flitwick had explained, and Norlin quickly flipped through it.
"Meditation is one of the most precious techniques in magic, and it is a way to improve the power of magic. The fundamental purpose of all true magical meditations is to guide the mage to a state of communion with magic. The true meaning of meditation is to concentrate the mind, spirit, and spirit in the sea of magic ......"
Norlin took a closer look at the meditation section. When you're done, put the book on your desk, lie down on the bed, and close your eyes.
He tried to empty his brain, as the book says. However, when I first closed my eyes, all the chaotic distractions came to an end. The mysteries of time-traveling, the doubts and surprises of the world, daily life, etc., these thoughts are not usually deliberately remembered by Nolin, but at this time they are infinitely magnified.
Norlin shook his head, trying to shake the thoughts out. His breathing gradually stabilized, and his attention was focused on the depths of his brain.
After a long time, he felt his mind slowly rising into the air. His eyes were closed, but he found himself in a strange space. There was a formless and colorless force around him, just as his mind was formless and incorporeal. The forces wandered cautiously around the mind, cautiously approaching.
Norlin was startled, and his mind moved. However, after this move, the strange space suddenly disappeared.
Norlin snapped open his eyes, revealing a familiar dormitory scene. Smith was sitting in his chair, looking at the class schedule and muttering to himself.
"You're awake. I'm going to call you when I go to bed again, and there's a flying lesson in the afternoon. Seeing Norlin wake up, Smith said with anticipation, "That's flying lessons, flying in the sky on a broomstickβwow!" It's cool to think about! β
"How long have I been asleep?" Norlin scratched his head with a headache, the roommate's words were as much as ever.
"I don't know. It's been over an hour since I got back, though. Smith thought for a moment and said.
More than an hour? Norin was secretly speechless. He felt that time had not passed, only a few minutes at most, but he didn't expect that more than an hour had passed.
"How long do you have until class?" Norin's stomach deflated, and a feeling of hunger came over him, making him very uncomfortable. He remembered that he hadn't eaten lunch.
"About half an hour to go. Is there something wrong with you? Smith asked, leaning sideways.
"A trip to the restaurant. I didn't eat lunch, I don't know if it's still there. Norlin put on his shoes, "Are you going with you?" β
"I've had my fill...... Smith's eyes lit up, "but I don't think it's a problem to settle for half a roast chicken!" Let's go! β
The once bustling restaurant is now deserted, with only a handful of people dining. Smith excitedly shouted "half a roast chicken", and a plate of fragrant roast chicken appeared on the table out of thin air.
Norlin casually called out a sandwich and a cake as she reflected on how she felt during the meditation. That strange space, the sea of magic mentioned in the book? How should the magic be improved, is it absorption? It's very feasible, after all, he doesn't know what else to do. The question is, how do you absorb it?
Smith tried to talk to Norlin while eating roast chicken, but found that Norlin ignored him at all, eating his sandwich carelessly, his face confused and confused, knowing what he was thinking and not daring to disturb him.
After eating the roast chicken, Smith shook Nolin's arm: "Let's go, let's go to class." β
"Oh." Norlin swallowed the last bite of the sandwich, hurriedly shoved the cake into his mouth, and followed Smith out of the restaurant.
