Chapter 192: Mana Measurement
The form contains the data they had given Filch to test before leaving Hogwarts last semester.
Skipping names, genders, and ages, they came to the magic section.
They used the Levitation Charm to measure the level of mana in the wizard's body.
One is the maximum weight that can be suspended in a single [Levitation Spell], and the other is the duration of 125 grams of items.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Since the magic in Filch's body is like a newborn, and the amount is very small, his standards are a little different from Ralph's.
The maximum weight that Filch can levitate in a single [Levitation Charm] is 140 pieces of parchment; The 125-gram standard object holds for a duration of 0 and cannot be lifted; The maximum weight and half mass suspension time is 3.5 seconds.
Looking at these data, Barty Jr. shook his head, it was too low.
"Compared with the last time, there is still an improvement."
Claude pulled out the data sheet that Filch had checked for the first time.
The maximum weight that can be suspended in a single [Levitation Spell] is 75 pieces of parchment; The maximum weight of half the mass is suspended for 2 seconds.
After all, there was only a few weeks between the baptism and the holiday.
It was also surprising that Filch had been able to reach this level in such a short period of time, and his own diligent training was also a big factor, and it was estimated that there was also the legacy of baptismal power.
Hearing their conversation, William and Daniel also got up and looked at Filch's stats together.
Ralph also made his way to the first floor with the help of the Room of Requirement, and some of the freshmen were surprised to see a door appear in the wall, and Ralph walked out of it.
This made them look forward to their future life at Hogwarts.
After the professors' setup, the members of the magic research team can choose to open the door in any public place in the room of requirement, except for the more private places such as toilets, bathhouses, and dormitories.
However, Ralph and the others were also unable to get to their own dorm through the Room of Requirement.
Arriving on the first floor, Ralph glanced at the freshmen with a smile and went about his business.
Ralph threw his wand into the air, thinking about Filch's position, and the wand spun slowly, to the left and right, and was soon pointing at the wall.
Some of the freshmen watched Ralph's movements with curiosity. But they didn't bother, and they always felt that this appearance was very mysterious.
'Lead the way. ’
Ralph said. I feel like my wand divination needs to be optimized.
Sensing Ralph's thoughts, the wand spun and pointed forward.
Ralph followed the wand like that.
'The shortest road. ’
Something came to mind, Ralph said.
The wand spun again, continuing to lead the way.
In this way, the freshmen saw this strange scene, a handsome or cute senior in the intricate castle with a magic wand to guide the way.
In the end, Ralph also managed to find Filch.
At the same time, there were some curious freshmen behind him, and most of the old students were familiar with this, although they were surprised, they didn't dare to be new.
"Ralph, what is this?"
When Filch opened the door, he saw Ralph with his wand pointing the way, and the new students behind him.
When the freshmen saw Filch, they were inexplicably afraid.
"It's fine. They must have been attracted by wand divination. Are you available now? Let's go test it. ”
Ralph said.
"Oh, okay."
Filch replied happily, with an ugly smile that scared away many of the little witches at once.
"Dongdong Dong~"
"Please come in!"
"Argus? Ralph? Borrow the door, use it. ”
Looking at Ralph and Filch as they walked in, Professor McGonagall said.
"Well, trouble the professor."
Ralph said.
"Go, go, go."
Professor McGonagall smiled.
A door pops into the office, Ralph opens it, and Filch walks inside, disappearing.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Filch."
"Y-Hello, little Barty."
Apparently, Barty Jr.'s hello made Filch a little embarrassed.
By this time, Claude had already mobilized the group members to temporarily break them out of their mental loneliness.
"How fast?"
Claude said to Ralph.
"I used a wand for divination."
Ralph said truthfully.
"Huh? Can you still use a wand for divination? ”
Claude looked like he had learned.
"Let's get straight to it. What do you think, Mr. Filch? ”
Claude glanced at his companions and said to Filch.
"Yes, yes, it's all up to you."
Filch nodded.
"Then let's get started. You give Lady Loris to Ralph first. ”
Looking at Lady Loris, who was lying in Filch's arms, Claude said.
"This? All right. ”
Filch hesitated, looked at Ralph and then at the cat in his hand, and finally handed Mrs. Loris to Ralph.
The test begins.
First, Barty Jr. filled in Filch's information again.
"William, take another weigh, and I think Mr. Filch seems to be a lot fatter than last semester."
Barty Jr. said.
"Yes?"
Filch looked at his body, but didn't notice anything.
"Just measure it."
William walked over with a magic scale, and Filch walked up, it wasn't the first time he had used it, and he was familiar with it.
"78 kilograms."
William gave the numbers.
"The weight recorded last semester was 74 kilograms, which is really a lot heavier."
Barty Jr. took out last semester's list, compared it, and said to Filch.
"Ahh Could that have any effect on the magic? ”
Filch asked, worried.
"Huh? I don't know, probably not. ”
Barty Jr. said, looking at his teammates.
The others also shook their heads, indicating that they did not know.
"I'm going to ask Ralph."
Claude said, walking over to Ralph, who was teasing the cat.
They talked for a while and then came over.
"It shouldn't make a difference. Ralph says that it may have some effect on spellcasting, but not on the mana itself. ”
Claude said.
If you look at the professors around you, you can actually know the answer.
Whether it's Professor Flitwick or Dumbledore, these wizards who are good at spellcasting are all thinner and more agile, and Professor McGonagall is the same.
For wizards like Professor Sgrahorn and Professor Sprout, who focused on the art of magic, size was less important to them.
Their combat prowess is largely based on their magical skills, such as potions and magic plants.
If you want to have a good spell casting ability, you should still pay attention to your body type.
Mana is constantly running in the body, just like our blood, if we are fat, doesn't it mean that the path of mana has become longer?
Similarly, there may be a slight increase in the amount of mana reserves. Fat should be the least storable of all tissues.
Soon, Filch's results came in.
The maximum weight of a single [Levitation Spell] is 60 grams; The standard weight suspension time of 125 grams is still 0; Half of the maximum weight lasts for 4.9 seconds, which is a significant increase.
"Mr. Filch, you've made great progress."
Claude said, making Filch happy.
"Are you doing the training we set out every day?"
Little Barty asked curiously, but he knew that constantly casting the [Levitation Charm] was a very boring act, and it was very uncomfortable to drain the mana in his body.
"Of course. I do up to 10 sets a day, thanks to Professor Sgrahorn's Aledford, who has the ability to restore his magic. ”
"Sometimes the shop is a little busy, and I do a group of 2-3. The feeling of running out of magic is truly addictive. Could this be too much to cause other problems? ”
Filch said proudly, but seeing that everyone's faces were wrong, he hurriedly asked worriedly.
"No, it won't. Doing more is only good for the derivation of magic, and there is no harm. Direction, Mr. Filch. ”
Daniel replied thoughtfully.
They were really shocked, they didn't expect Filch to practice so many times a day. In their program, Filch only has to practice one set a day.
It can only be said that only what you once asked for but could not get, after you get it, you will cherish it more and more.
At this point, Ralph also came over and returned Mrs. Loris to Filch.
"Mr. Filch, I think you should take good care of Lady Loris, she's too thin to be as strong as the cats in the Forbidden Forest."
Ralph said.
"Really? So what should I do. ”
Filch gently stroked Mrs. Loris's head, and Mrs. Loris's affectionate response.
"Just ask Professor Sgrahorn. He can raise the eight-eyed giant spider to be white and fat, he should be experienced. Hagrid and Professor Celtic Byrne can also ask if they are experts in Magical Beasts. ”
Ralph said, and the others nodded in agreement.
At the thought of Professor Sgrahorn's eight-eyed spider, everyone was a little silent.
The three giant spiders had grown up, and the last time they were seen in the auditorium, hanging upside down from the ceiling, frightened many young wizards looking up.
Ralph and the others were also the three giant spiders who took the initiative to call them, and they found out.
and Professor Sprout's Ball Bird, which is not as fat as the three giant spiders, and is very obedient and clever.
When Ralph was in the Hogwarts Benefit, she often saw Professor Sprout taking her out for a walk.
Under Professor Sprout's special training, this ball bird is much more daring than her kind.
At the opening dinner, she followed Professor Sprout all the time. During meals, I also stayed with the professor.
"Okay, I'll ask next time."
Filch responded.
"Mr. Filch, did you eat anything strange during your vacation other than training? Like Aleder, light-absorbing fruit, and the like. ”
Claude asked, and Barty Jr. picked up the pen just in time to write it down.
"Eating strange things? Think about it. ”
Filch pondered.
"There is one. Isn't there a spring in the lair of the King of the Forbidden Forest? Headmaster Dumbledore helped me get some spring water from there for me to drink. I don't know if this counts. ”
Filch said.
"Star Spring, that's the name of that spring."
Ralph said.
"Xingquan, well, that's right."
Filch nodded.
Seeing Filch's reaction, Barty Jr. wrote it down.
"Anything else?"
Claude looked at Filch.
"It should be gone."
Filch frowned, thought for a moment, and said not quite surely.
"yes, okay."
Several men asked Filch to sit aside and told him to wait.
They began to discuss a new round of proposals.
This time the changes are a bit big.
Train directly with half of the maximum mass, so that the time will be faster.
At the same time, it can also be combined with Aledud's daily drinking, and can also be paired with absorbent fruit as a daily fruit, and if you can, you can even add star spring water.
Filch then left the Magic Lab with Ralph's training plan and a thousand thanks.
"The problem should be in the Xingquan Spring."
Several people sat on the couch, with a small wooden table in the middle, Claude analyzed.
"Hmm. Professor Dumbledore has said that the effects of baptism diminished over time and eventually disappear. Judging from the data, the increase in magic during the period from Filch's baptism to the holiday is not as large as the magic increase of the holiday, which is obviously not very reasonable. ”
Barty Jr. said.
"We shouldn't be able to get to that level when we set up mana growth training, right? Although Filch practiced many sets in a day. ”
Daniel added.
"You can compare it to ourselves. After training for so long during that time, did you improve a lot? At that time, we practiced no less than Filch. ”
William said, remembering the unforgettable years, and the mana restorative was about to vomit.
"That's not Fairchido. Our premise is to completely deplete the mana in the body as a group. 10 times a day? I probably won't be able to do it once in 10 days. ”
Ralph said.
As soon as these words came out, they instantly attracted the envy and resentful eyes of others.
Listen, is this human talk?
"Don't talk about that. Can we get the water from the Star Spring? ”
Claude hurriedly changed the subject and said.
"I guess so. This spring water is exchanged for magic power. As long as you can get there. ”
Ralph said.
"Mana exchange?"
The others all looked at Ralph suspiciously.
Ralph explained to them a little bit where the star spring came from.
"From the world of the soul? Deathly Hallows? ”
Barty Jr. muttered.
"Probably. I don't know very well. ”
Ralph said.
"What is the Deathly Hallows?"
William asked curiously.
The rest of the four all cast a "Are you Ravenclaw" glance at him, which made William scratch his head embarrassedly, and he knew the meaning of this look after a lot of experience.
The four of them looked at each other, and it was Barty Jr. who explained to William what the Deathly Hallows was.
"O Merlin! How dare they turn the Deathly Hallows into a spring! ”
After learning about the legend of the Deathly Hallows, William was amazed.
"Wizards and Fantastic Beasts have different ideas."
Ralph said in a smug voice.
"Do you remember what the professors said about the trees that were raised with wands? I think the elderberry on the docks might be the Elder Wand. ”
Daniel said timidly.
"You see, Professor Flitwick has made it possible for us to..."
At this point, he remembered something, paused for a moment, and continued:
"Go swap with the elderberry and give it a name."
Except for Barty Jr., everyone else looked at Daniel in shock, as if it really made sense.
Ollivanders' wand shop has been in England for a long time, and his house has always had a wand made of elderwood.
Moreover, the characteristics of the pier elderberry are also very consistent with its cane core, the Thestrals' tail feathers.
