Chapter 249 Snake and Wagadu
"Andrew, what are you doing?"
Kevin, who had just won a poker game, was proudly walking around the dormitory when he suddenly spotted Andrew tinkering on the side.
"An interesting experiment... very interesting kind of thing."
Andrew used his wand to direct the smoke and let it change into the shape he needed. "It will be done soon. Don't worry about me."
"I'm not worried at all, especially after everyone in the sixth grade started calling you a pervert..."
As Kevin spoke, he stared at the dancing smoke - it gave Kevin an unusually familiar feeling, as if he had seen it somewhere just now.
"This," he was stunned for a moment, "is Malfoy, yes, yes, is it the snake Malfoy used?"
As a promiscuous spell enthusiast, he is not keen on improving performance. He prefers to collect a variety of spells and then use them one by one - but carefully studying a few spells will make He felt that his whole life had lost its meaning.
Even a legend did not quell his curiosity about the magic of the duel not long ago, but he had no place to ask - the Malfoy obviously regarded this spell handed down by Professor Snape as his own. Magic is not spread to anyone else.
Without magic skills and professional gestures and wand waving methods, it would be extremely difficult to reproduce this spell. Although he had always been obsessed with it, he obviously couldn't get it started.
"It's almost the same, but I thought wrong at the time. This is not a traditional magic spell. Rather than conjuring a snake, it's better to summon a snake..."
Andrew waved his wand, and the smoke was still shapeless, but he was not anxious at all - because the door to this magic was already open for him, it just depends on when he can fully master it.
To be precise, this is another spell-casting system of magic, but it has been well integrated by Professor Snape.
When a legend caused commotion, Andrew had tried several times to imitate Malfoy's spellcasting, but unfortunately, the dark magic-like curse that was easily used by the second-year student was more difficult to imitate than he thought. much higher.
After many failed attempts, he decisively chose to ask Professor McGonagall for help - a lifelike snake that could even follow orders. The skills contained in this were a difficult problem in transfiguration.
However, the answer was extremely simple - Professor McGonagall told him that this was another spell-casting system, a specialty of Wagadu Magic School in Uganda, and Professor Snape, after learning and understanding it, innovated Andrew saw the spell.
‘Uganda, Wagado… it’s such a magical and outrageous system…’
Andrew silently recalled the information the professor gave him - Wagadu is the only large-scale magic school in Africa. The students there are good at astronomy, alchemy, and self-transformation.
It was a completely new system. It was so new that they did not use wands to cast spells, but used hand gestures, which was more cumbersome than wand casting.
Yes, there is no need for a wand. You can directly use gestures to communicate your own magic power to achieve the prerequisites of magic and successfully cast the spell.
Professor McGonagall even told Andrew that if he had not completed touching the rules in advance, he would not have been able to access these materials - because once a new spellcasting system is learned, it will inevitably cause confusion and a huge waste of time.
The function of the wand is to stabilize the wizard's magic power, reduce the backlash of spell casting, and use the resonance between the wand core and the wizard to strengthen magic. Under such protection, the progress of magic and black magic is almost rapid, because the sequelae of simple spells are all eliminated. The wand is gone. In the Wagadu system, because there is no magic wand, the backlash of magic power is attributed to oneself, and the development of magic spells and black magic is slow. However, precisely because it is attributed to oneself, the wizard distributes magic power more easily and delicately, and is more responsible for himself. The casting bonus of Transfiguration is terrifying.
Basically every qualified graduate of Wagadu has advanced human transformation skills. They can easily transform into a cheetah or an elephant...
The learning time for similar spells is - fourteen years old...
A surprising existence, although it is not a more advanced and lasting transformation like Animagus, it is still scary.
This achievement even surpasses the method of wandless spellcasting. As for the reason why Malfoy's Oolong came out of the hole and was not cast again, it is very simple. It was a summoned thing.
Use magic to communicate with snake spirits, and then use smoke to build the body. The front part was actually completed by Professor Snape, and the back part was the smoke added by Malfoy himself...
But this is hard to explain clearly. Andrew really can't tell that Professor Snape has actually completed most of the spells without a wand - he just bullied Professor Lockhart for his lack of knowledge...
The main thing is that Slytherin lost so hard that there was nothing he could do...
Wagadu's unique spellcasting has only become popular in recent years, and it is unknown how long the analysis and integration will be delayed - the integration of the two magic systems is much slower than expected, just like the wizards in Uganda are now Not many people are used to wands, so it is extremely difficult to learn to cast spells with those gestures.
However, because of the advanced transformation technique, the relevant information has been given to Andrew - the reference for self-casting transformation can be gradually referenced as long as he starts learning human transformation this semester. The transformation of foreign objects is even like a spell summoning. Now he is studying it. Did it.
But the laboratory cannot be used - although there is no risk of explosion, once the transformation is out of control, others need to discover it and notify the professor. This is why he studies it in the dormitory.
"It failed again. It's really interesting." Andrew gathered the smoke and looked at Kevin who was very interested next to him. "This is a variant of Transfiguration. Don't think about it. Unless Professor Snape teaches you how to do it, others can at most imitate it." ”
"As usual, Slytherin's spells are really..."
Kevin shook his head, completely ignoring his huge arsenal of spells, "It's you, you've been using this spell for a long time, haven't you figured it out yet?"
"I've figured it out. The main reason is that the most convenient method is difficult to use and the magic power is insufficient..."
Andrew sighed - although wandless or silent casting is a common way of casting spells, just like the weapons used in attacks, the weight of the weapon itself limits the importance of strength and skill...
'But fortunately, the professor said that I can try to study my magic power next year. I can wait...'
'The vibration of one's own magic power drives the magic power of the spell to vibrate, thus making the results of the transformation technique come alive and become the so-called spirit... Then it can be filled at will...'
Just these two days...
