Chapter 852 Can You Feel the Warmth Too?
Magic is a very idealistic thing, even if it makes sense, it is the truth of the soul, not the general truth of things.
For example, the 'Arrow Deflection' developed by the Order of the Phoenix, its magical effect turned out to be a palace lantern suspended in front of the head.
Anton asked Lupine about this, hoping to understand the principle, but Lupine's reply was full of wizard-like content.
— because everyone grew up listening to wizard fairy tales.
Well……
In wizard fairy tales, there is a very classic story about a child strayed into a dark forest. The forest is full of strange rocks, the trees look like ghosts in the dark, and the wind howls like a beast.
The child got a magical lantern. After lighting the lantern, the light gave him strength, allowing him to overcome all the things that frightened him, avoid harm from ghosts and beasts, and come to an uninhabited palace full of treasures.
The content of fairy tales is very simple, but the power given by light has become a concept in the hearts of many wizards since childhood.
This has great implications for studying the collective consciousness in the field of gray magic.
But the collective subconscious is the collective subconscious. Anton has a way to leverage this power, but it is difficult to reverse this inherent consciousness with his own will.
The light gives power to resist harm, and the light comes from a lantern, preferably a palace lantern.
This is the law of the wizarding world.
Unless someone can consciously guide other cultures to prevail in society, everyone thinks so. Moreover, such a concept will be passed on from generation to generation orally, and the quotations in fairy tales and adult books will be strengthened in people's hearts over and over again.
Thus, a powerful collective subconscious is formed.
Based on this concept, Anton was keenly aware of a super treasure!
Muggles!
Yes, they are Muggles. Muggles have magic power, they just don't have the ability to perceive and guide the release of magic power.
Their influence on the collective consciousness is definitely far beyond that of wizards.
Compared with the poor population of wizards who may disappear in the long river of history due to a world-class war at any time, the population of Muggles is too much.
So……
An interesting conclusion came about like this: the "Bone Shield Curse" invented by Anton, and the "Arrow Deflection Curse" of the Order of the Phoenix, the effects of these two spells will become more powerful in the future, and the learning threshold will be lower. Low, wider range of applications.
Because, the images and effects of these magics will form a cultural definition among the huge population of the Muggle world due to carriers such as online games and novels, thereby enhancing the overall amount of collective consciousness.
This is the magical gray magic theory!
"So, the war of wizard forces in the new era will spread to the field of cultural wars, and compete for the right to define?"
Anton laughed happily, and suddenly felt that it was very interesting to interpret magic from this angle.
Gray magic is very fun, it seems that he has to find a way to prepare a newspaper to run some magazines and periodicals.
"Huh?"
He suddenly froze for a moment.
"It seems... I seem to already have one?"
Lucius Malfoy sold nearly half of his property to Rook Wood, the silent man, to start a newspaper in France...
The lake of the mind surged, the past memories were quickly screened, and the related pictures jumped into the mind, and a letter picture of Rookwood reporting information to himself appeared in front of him.
The content is probably that he started to fund some cultural hooligans, intending to resell stories among Muggles and wizards in the way of "witch translating hemp" and "ma translating witch". He also asked Anton if he needed to sort out "Anton's 3,650 Bedtime Stories" for him, but Anton refused.
Anton's evaluation at the time was that Rookwood really deserved to be born as a Death Eater, and he was evil enough.
With such a foundation, Anton seems to be able to form some new wizarding cultural symbols in the Muggle world based on the principles of gray magic without the wizarding community paying attention, and 'invent' some new wizarding cultural symbols based on these wizarding cultural symbols. magic.
Think about what kind of magic you want first, and then go to the Muggles to create momentum!
"Quack quack..."
"This is too much fun!"
"It seems that we need to find a time to discuss this issue with Luke Wood face to face."
"Don't just focus on text books, comics, animations, games and movies with pictures should be the main force!"
"Oh, yes, you can also set up a website that seems to promote some pseudo-culture of wizarding society. Wizards will think this is nonsense, and Muggles who know wizards will laugh it off after confirming it, but in the end, quack quack ...they will find out, oh, Anton actually made it out?"
Anton was beaming with thought, and felt that this matter was promising.
"etc!"
The surging memories in the lake of mind jumped into his mind one by one, and Anton took a sharp breath.
"Website...newspaper...bookseller..."
"Good guy, these Grindelwalds are all there!"
Do prophets play like this? Ma Dan, the magic of these people is so easy to use, it's as if they are all on the hook.
Of course, these things don't mean anything. Anton doesn't believe that Lao Ge can also do "grey magic". If he could do it in New York, he would definitely be able to see the clues.
Anton was able to spread "Wizards are Gods" generously because he had begun to step into the deeper realm of 'grey magic', and he didn't think about something and eagerly shared it.
"It's not a big problem."
Compared with these calculations, Anton preferred magic, and slowly walked out of the Thestral habitat, thinking about new magic in his mind, walking around the campus at will.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of the society, the school is very quiet and comfortable, very suitable for magic research.
Anton's eyes narrowed slightly in response to the light, moist breeze blowing from the surface of the Black Lake.
The field of collective consciousness also needs to be based on the excavation of individual spiritual power.
But there is a huge difference from the previous direction of individual spellcasting: individual spellcasting pays attention to 'characteristics', while collective spellcasting pays attention to 'commonness'.
The more unique, the more strongly biased, the more distorted, paranoid, and strongly self-conscious mind, the more powerful magic can be released.
And the magic at the level of collective consciousness will even call on the lowest level of spiritual power, which is more primitive and closer to the instinct of animals.
But after all, this is the wizard's spellcasting, not the collective consciousness' influence on the magic power of nature on a wider level, so the spellcasting in the field of 'grey magic' needs to find a point of convergence between the individual and the collective.
Only in this way can the most powerful magic power be leveraged.
There are too many directions to study, such as leader-type spellcasting, where a powerful wizard casts a spell that affects all individuals around him.
For example, collective spellcasting, all individuals cast spells together and gather together into one magic.
Thinking on this scale is not so easy to grasp in terms of performing magic in practice.
"a ray of sunshine!"
The wand in his hand tapped his left hand lightly, and in an instant, a ray of sunshine radiating warm light appeared in his palm.
That kind of warmth, like a temperature, made the whole body warm up. It seems that there is no temperature, permeating the heart, and the soul becomes extraordinarily relaxed, tenacious, and full of vitality under the light of the warm sun.
As the sun filled the air, the creatures near Anton seemed to be agitated.
The lake surged, and a green horse-shaped water monster rose from the lake, looking at Anton curiously with its huge eyes.
"Hello~"
Anton looked at it with a smile, and looked at an orange light cluster floating above its head, "Can you feel the warmth too? Mr. Water Monster."
"The law of the law~~~"
The horse-shaped water monster stretched its long neck and yelled upwards. It jumped out of the water happily, and plunged into the lake again, splashing high water.
"Whoa, whoa~"
Anton dodged the splashing water, laughing loudly.
The horse-shaped water monster may think this is very amusing, constantly jumping out of the water, and diving in again, splashing and splashing.
"Quack quack..."
It is very strange that although Anton is not a magizoologist, he can always get along well with these magical animals in Hogwarts Castle.
