Chapter 45 45: The Fire Curse! School starts soon!
Time passes quietly.
Like fine sand passing through the fingertips.
Seeing that it has arrived the day before school is about to start.
Ian has also grown up.
The magic in "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" is not difficult to learn. Except for the knowledge about Horcruxes, Ian has already gathered three unforgivable standard bonds.
【Death Curse (Level 1) 11/100】
【Soul Curse (Level 1) 1/100】
【Cruciatus Curse (Level 1) 3 /100】
……
Since he is now in the real world, Ian definitely does not dare to use his wand to practice these serious illegal magics. He basically gained control of magic through theoretical knowledge.
This is aided by Ian's outstanding talent for black magic, and Gellert Grindelwald's annotations and explanations from "The Secret of Advanced Dark Magic" are also indispensable.
Of course.
In addition to the three unforgivable curses, Ian only learned two of the black magic spells such as the [Body Shattering Curse] and [Transformation Torture Curse] and did not go into more depth.
After all.
Learning too much is not as good as learning well.
If you want to improve the level of magic in the future, it will take Ian time to build up proficiency. It is enough for him to be able to control the black magic to deal with most situations.
“Learn slowly, and sooner or later you will definitely have to learn it all in my head.”
Ian is not in a hurry.
He will also study the contents of "Standard Spells: Elementary" on weekdays.
As a break from learning black magic.
The magic that the first-year students of Hogwarts need to learn requires some practice for Ian. Fortunately, his current magic level is not as weak as it was before.
In a few days.
Although Ian has not learned the entire "Standard Spells: Elementary", he is already capable of casting most of the spells that are easy to control.
That is the first level of spell level.
The only magic that was somewhat difficult for Ian was the learning of transfiguration. It was just a needle, but it bothered Ian for several days and he failed to gain any proficiency.
[Transfiguration (Level 0) 17/50]
This can really be called slow progress.
I don’t know if it is inferior to ordinary little wizards.
In fact, Ian can vaguely feel his own problem - just like Dumbledore reminded him before, he may be too focused on the principles and logic of magic formation.
This is especially true under the blessing of [Enlightenment of Wisdom].
This is a fairy tale world.
Imagination and the power of belief play an important role.
Teacher Mara in the trance dreamland also mentioned a similar situation, but her lifelong knowledge was completely unable to match Pandro's belief that I could do it.
Compared to those wizards who are full of imagination and believe that magic is a miracle, Ian's thinking also makes him somewhat trapped in his obsession with logic and principles.
no way.
Be able to realize this.
This does not mean that this can be corrected in a short time.
“The founder of Hogwarts, Rowena Ravenclaw, is also a wizard who advocates reason. Her transformation skills are also outstanding. There must be a balance point that can be found.”< br>
“I went to an extracurricular class to learn painting for a few days. Although the extracurricular tutor said I couldn’t afford it, I still have some artistic talent and imagination, right?”
< br>
Ian didn't question whether he could learn the art of transformation, he just didn't know when he would be able to find the balance between reason and imagination. This takes time.
"Transfiguration shattered my confidence, and only this precious knowledge can help me rebuild it." Whenever trying to do Transfiguration was difficult, Ian would read it again "The Secret of Cutting-Edge Black Magic".
The entire book "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" records many magics, which can be roughly divided into three categories: evil curses, poisonous curses, and death curses, which increase in order according to the danger and viciousness of the magic.
In addition to these three types of black magic, there is also a more special type of magic - curses.
"It turns out that this is where the noseless Voldemort obtained the means of cursing the Defense Against the Dark Arts professorship..." Ian had no intention of studying the curse.
He has always been kind to others.
Where is the enemy that needs him to use something like a curse?
Have that time.
Is it that the Death Curse is not fragrant, or that the valve of the Fire Curse cannot be turned wide? Yes, after returning from the nameless bookstore, Ian of course also studied the famous black magic [Fire Curse].
now.
The Fire Curse has become the black magic with which he is most proficient.
[Fire Curse (Level 1) 76/100]
Due to the same concerns, Ian did not dare to use his wand to cast and practice such a punishing spell. He felt that Maybe I should get myself a spare wand sometime.
I wonder if Knockturn Alley can be customized?
Anyway.
Without practice, it is really difficult to improve your proficiency. [Fire Curse] can achieve such proficiency only because of the records and notes in "The Secret of Advanced Black Magic".
I have to say.
The cruel Miss Grindelwald was not wrong. Regarding the magical attainment of [Fire Curse], Ian could feel the shock of his grandfather Gellert Grindelwald just from the text notes. Unparalleled in the world.
Now this proficiency.
Ian hasn't even finished reading the notes and explanations about this magic.
“I’m going to school tomorrow, and it will be difficult to read this book then.” Ian is looking forward to the start of school, but also regrets that he can no longer freely learn these unique things. magic.
Of course.
It would also be nice to learn other magic.
At that time, you can also learn the alchemy required by Teacher Mara, and Ian really hopes that through the teachings of Professor McGonagall, he can successfully find the balance between reason and imagination.
"It will definitely be a fulfilling life!"
Ian is full of expectations for the future.
He sat at the desk and started tonight's homework.
“Today I learned the last part of the Fire Curse. Grindelwald was actually able to effectively prevent the fire from harming the caster, and even gave his will to the fire.”
"What an incredible improvement!"
Ian lit up his wand and couldn't wait to start the last night of study. He was a cautious man, and when he went to read a book, he decided to bury "Advanced Dark Arts Revealed" under the living room floor.
Hmm.
It has to be placed in the most rancid coffin. Come to think of it, even if Snape came back to live in this place, he wouldn't be so perverted as to want to dig up corpses and have a heart-to-heart talk.
"Is the reflection of the soul particularly important... The more advanced the magic, the more emphasis it seems. Black magic and white magic almost have something in common at a certain stage."
Along with the slow improvement of proficiency.
Ian flipped through the pages related to [Fire Curse].
Outside the house.
The night wind is whispering.
In this book from Miss Grindelwald, at the end of the last note of [Fire Curse], Ian saw a line of text that made him a little surprised.
“May you learn something useful, my friend.”
