Chapter 296: Return to the original intention of magic
As a wizard, a spellcaster with magic flowing in his body, what is the original intention of magic, or rather, what is the original appearance of a spellcaster?
These things are not taught at Hogwarts and are not seen in bookstores, not because people have forgotten them, but because they don't want to know about them.
Because uselessness is at least useless to the vast majority of ordinary people.
But in some cases, these seemingly useless things can become an indispensable force for progress.
Harry had only vaguely known that Grindelwald and his Witch Party had started a revolution in magic and a reform of magical education fifteen years earlier, but Harry had no way of knowing what this reform was and what it did.
But with the arrival of the letter, the veil of mystery is also being revealed.
What Grindelwald does is simple: find and return to the original purpose of magic.
The original caster of spells in the world was not the Awakened, the Awakened were created to fight against the Abyssal World, and before the Awakened were born, there were already human wizards in the world.
The original wizards may have been born naturally and with magical powers, or they could have been a hybrid born from the union of humans and magical creatures, but no matter how they appeared, there was something else along with the caster.
That's the medium through which the spell is cast.
Compared to other magical creatures, most human spellcasters are inferior to them in terms of talent, but what humans are best at is the use of tools, and the birth of spellcasting mediums is inevitable and natural.
The casting medium is an extension of the caster's body, which is not only to make up for the lack of talent of human spellcasters, but also has become an indispensable part of human spellcasters in the evolution of thousands of years.
Even the Vagadu casters, who dislike the use of 'wands' the most, have definitely not given up on the casting medium, and cast spells with their bare hands so as not to affect the cast after transformation, rather than deliberately not using them because they don't want to use them, they have an alternative casting medium for wands - they can rub the spell spell on the surface of the body, and use the magic tattoo at any time.
This is true even for awakens who are stronger than human spellcasters and can easily cast spells with their bare hands without the need for any casting medium.
Harry initially thought that the Awakened didn't need a wand, and that casting spells with his bare hands was a more 'advanced' method, but after actually stepping through the Awakened door, he realized that this was the wrong thing.
It's not that the awakened don't use a magic wand-like casting medium, but they don't necessarily everyone can find and make their own casting medium, the quality itself is not high enough to be completely ineffective, and it will get in the way, and the good ones are not so easy to get their hands on, and it is very troublesome to rub their own hands, and some awakened people simply don't tinker, anyway, it's almost enough.
In the photo that Harry watched on Paradise Island, the image left by the unknown awakened wizard has a picture of him taking the Demon Lord's magic core to strengthen the longbow wand, before Harry thought that this person was probably a gambling dog who likes to find excitement, but now it seems that he used the Demon Lord's magic core to strengthen the wand is probably really useful?
If the above is just speculation, then the sword box behind Li Jiannan is the empirical evidence, that is what the Qinglian Sword Immortal used until he died in battle, although it is said that the vast majority of the awakened wizards have entered the abyss and the seven-in-one demon god is dead, but it is an even more terrible thing to let the demons come to the magic world, and the ghost knows if the endless abyss demons will come to the magic world again to suck up the natural magic power, and then hatch a new demon god on the spot.
This kind of weird thing that feeds on magic power and can absorb magic power as a promotion posture really can't let them do it at all, even if it is an awakened person as strong as the Qinglian Sword Immortal, when they can't retreat an inch from guarding the passage, they will fight until they are exhausted until they die, and this is probably the reason why the ant colony bites the elephant to death.
When people in the European wizarding world have taken this 'original intention' for granted and don't study it, Grindelwald picked it up again, the wizards of the European wizarding world should have done this a long time ago, Harry had already discovered it when he was in the Prime, although they were all gun-shaped wands, but the casters of the Prime-Celestial Empire had used the gun-shaped wand that was most suitable for their spell system for I don't know how many times, if they were distinguished by style, they had probably come to the era of 'sci-fi style', which was more than the Muggle World Electromagnetic Rifle, The laser rifle looks cool on the outside, but to be honest, it's fundamentally different from the gun-shaped wand in Harry's hand.
But the backwardness of the version in the wizarding world does not necessarily mean that it will be beaten, the right one is the most important, the European spear-shaped wand was made for the European spell system at the beginning of the design and transformation, and it may be outdated and inapplicable to the spell system of the First Celestial Empire, but it will not seem outdated when applied to the spell system.
Although the number of iterations of the European spear-shaped wand in the past thousand years is much lower than that of the Taishi Celestial Empire, it is also constantly improving, and today's gun-shaped wand can barely be regarded as the ultimate answer to the spell system, although there is room for improvement, but it is not much.
Don't look at the Soviet wizards who came up with a 'new wand system', but this change has not changed the root of the gun-shaped wand in the European wizarding world, but it has strengthened the caliber of justice, which is more suitable for their violent and ferocious style. It can only be said that it is too in line with the style of painting.
It wasn't a good deal for Grindelwald to redesign a new wand, or to make a deep optimization of the current version of the wand, and while he could do it, the input and output were not dominant, and it was better to open up a new track than to dig into this small upside.
To study how to better use wands today, so that wizards can learn how to use their 'third hand', which is used as a medium for the extension of limbs.
The use of tools is an important guarantee for the rise of humanity in the natural world, and learning how to make good use of the medium of spellcasting is one of the few options for European wizards who have fallen behind other regions by several versions, and it is also the only option that is the most efficient and cost-effective.
The letter that came with the notice contained a book that was not too thick, and Harry, who had read it through, chewed on its contents and looked out the window, the black cover of the book with this line of golden letters "New Age Wizard's Guide: Custom Modifications and Upgrades of Firearms".
The first step of Grindelwald's innovation was to completely abandon the ancient name of "magic wand", the gun is a gun, not a burning stick or a wooden staff to beat a sheep whip, that outdated name, let it die in the dust of history.
