Chapter 4 Magic is Spiritual

Leaving Olivan's wand shop, Professor McGonagall took Ike to a second-hand robes shop and a scrap shop to buy books and clothing for new students.

With the fourteen gold gallons left in Ike's possession, he didn't support him to go to places like the Blotted Bookstore and Lady Morkin's Robe Specialty Store to buy new ones.

Although the purchasing power of the Golden Galleon in the wizarding world is okay, books and clothes are just as expensive in any world.

Especially books.

Luckily, there are plenty of second-hand books in the scrap shop, and many young wizards tend to sell them at the end of their first school year, and some of them are even new.

Miranda Goshak's Standard Spells: Elementary, Bathilda Basshat's The Sorcerer, Adbay Wöflin's Theory of Magic, Emory Swich's Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration, Felida Spall's A Thousand Magical Herbs, Arseny Giger's Magic Potions and Potions, Newt Scamander's Monsters and Their Origins, and the Dark's Guide to Self-Defense, which is largely useless.

These first-grade essentials didn't cost Ike much Galleon.

In addition, Ike also bought "Hogwarts: A School History", "Research on the Development of Modern Witchcraft", "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", plus crucibles and robes, although they are all old things, in the end, only one Galleon Basike 124 nat remains.

At this moment, Ike finally understood why the Weasleys could only buy old things for their children.

The cost of going to school is really too much.

"Mr. Stred." Professor McGonagall kindly sent a regular box to Ike, just enough to hold all the books and gear, "This is a Hogwarts Express ticket, you need to be at King's Cross Station 93/4 by 11 a.m. on September 1st. ”

"Hogwarts Express will drive on time, so I hope you're on time, Mr. Stred."

Ike accepted his ticket and nodded, "I will, Professor McGonagall." ”

"Well, then, it's time to send you back." Professor McGonagall held out her left hand, and Ike took a deep breath, pulling the box with one hand and grasping Professor McGonagall's hand with the other.

The next moment, the familiar feeling of squeezing hit again.

Dean Julianne had been waiting in the room until a "snap" was heard, and Ike and Professor McGonagall appeared in the room.

Ike was still very uncomfortable with the phantom migration, and he was still dizzy. Professor McGonagall greeted Julianne and left again.

"Little Ike, you've bought everything, haven't you?" Julianne looked a little excited.

That's magic, after all! Who hasn't fantasized about having some superpowers when they're younger?

Ike reluctantly opened the box, revealing that it was full of contents. Julianne picked up "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" casually, opened it and looked at the moving pictures inside, and couldn't help but let out another exclamation.

"It turns out that the books that wizards read can move." Julianne flipped through it casually and put it back.

"So little Ike, are you buying so many books to prepare for the rest of the holiday and not going out?"

"I guess so." Ike nodded, he didn't want to waste even a little bit of his time.

"Alright, little Ike." Julianne rubbed Ike's hair dotingly, "Except for that...... You have always been my most reassuring child, and you are also the best. ”

"It's just that it's okay not to hide in the house all the time, and to play with other children."

"I will." Ike agreed, picking up the box, "So, I'll go back first?" ”

"Okay......"

Ike walked to the door, stopped suddenly, and turned his head to show a very cute smile.

Julianne

Thank you......

……

Back in the room, Ike locked the door for the first time, then took out his wand, tore off a piece of paper, pointed it at it, and solemnly pronounced a spell he had heard for the first time.

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"

The piece of paper didn't react as expected.

"Sure enough, magic isn't that simple."

Ike took out "Theory of Magic", took off his shoes and half-lay on the bed, slowly looking at it from the beginning.

In this world, many things cannot be done by virtue of the so-called "experience" in his head, especially magic.

And if you want to understand what magic is like in this world, "Theory of Magic" naturally became Ike's first choice.

"Wizards can cast magic in any way......"

The first sentence of the opening chapter shocked Ike, which was very different from his impression. The scene of two wizards holding wands and "Arvada" in each other seems to be just a form of cinematic expression.

However, the next content made Ike frown.

"Purpose, determination, ...... calmness" repeats the importance of this 3D principle almost throughout The Theory of Magic. And between the lines, determination is a little more important.

"For a wizard to cast a spell, four basic actions need to be met: a specific wand movement, the correct spell, the caster's subjective awareness of the spell's effects, and a certain level of concentration......"

The presence of silent spells and non-battle spells shows that to a certain extent, wand movements and spells can be omitted. Of course, this requires the wizard to have a deep understanding of spells and a strong sense of control over their own magical powers......"

"However, no wizard has ever cast a spell unconsciously. It may be able to unconsciously cause a magical effect, but it is only a magical riot, not strictly magic......"

Ike slowly drank "Theory of Magic" and rubbed his temples. As a high-end talent who once scored full marks in reading comprehension, he naturally saw the ideas conveyed throughout the book.

"Magic, the most important thing is the subjective consciousness of the wizard."

Ike thought about it, then picked up "Standard Spells: Elementary", found the casting techniques and detailed details of the levitation spell on it, and read it silently.

Picking up the wand again, learning the gestures and points in the book, he said firmly to the paper on the table:

"Yuga Dim Leviosa!"

Ike only felt an inexplicable force surging from his body, burrowing his wand along his arm, and then saw the paper slowly float, fluttering up and down with the movement of Ike's wand.

Levitation Spell Lv1 has been learned

"It turns out that when a wizard casts a spell, that's how it feels."

Ike knew very well that the power that emerged from Fangcai's body was the legendary magic, and the entire process of casting the levitation spell was also as written in the "Theory of Magic": specific wand movements, correct spells, subjective awareness of the effects of the spell, and a certain degree of concentration.

When all of this is done, it will be able to channel the magic in the wizard's body to work on the target.

After that, after continuous practice and the study of magic knowledge, you can use subjective consciousness to guide magic with common sense, and then achieve the effect through the magic wand.

At this stage, the effect of "spells" is weakened, which is known as "silent casting".

And when the wizard can make the magic in the body directly act on the target without any medium, in order to achieve the desired effect, this is "no battle spell casting".

Thinking of this, Ike raised his arm again and waved his wand in his hand, but this time the paper did not react.

"Sure enough, it's a bit too ambitious." Ike subconsciously scratched his chin, and then practiced his levitation spell according to the standard spell casting method, constantly feeling the way the magic in his body worked, and the subtle differences in each spell cast.

Thanks to the effect of "Magical Affinity", Ike can clearly feel the movement of magic power, and with continuous practice, the level of the levitation spell continues to increase.

After about twenty times, the levitation spell becomes Lv2, and another fifty times, it becomes Lv3.

By this time, Ike was able to make the paper float with just a wave of his wand.

It's just that no matter how Ike practiced after that, the level of the levitation spell didn't change.

"Maybe it's time to change your goals......"

From paper to pens, pens to notebooks, books, chairs, boxes, tables, beds and even cabinets. Ike practiced in his room for five days, and finally managed to make everything in the room float with a wave of his hand, fluttering with Ike's hand.

I just can't hold on for too long, and I feel a little dizzy in my head for ten seconds at most.

If he only controls one item, Ike will be able to hold it for a long time.

At this time, the levitation spell has become Lv6.

"I remember that in this world "7" is a magic number ......"

Ike's fingers moved slightly, and a pen fluttered with the rotation of his fingertips.

"So what does Lv7's levitation spell look like......
