Chapter 40 40 Strong Will Drives the Success of Magic

Chapter 40 40. Strong will drives the success of magic

"First, you need to establish the first spell you are going to use on yourself."

Slughorn motioned to Jon to pick up his wand.

"In this half-year, Filius should have taught you two or three spells. Which one do you think you are most comfortable and proficient in using?"

Jon hesitated for a moment and continued.

"Because the first spell I learned was the Levitation Spell, I am most proficient in using this one."

"Then choose the Levitation Spell." Slughorn helped Jon make the decision. "When you first start learning, the spells you memorize on the ring cannot be too complicated. The Levitation Spell is just right. It is almost the first spell that all wizards continue to master when they first learn spells. It is simple and easy to learn, and the effect is very practical."

Jon certainly had no objection to this. So far, he can only use four spells in total, the Levitation Spell, the Wand Illumination Spell, the Mending Spell and the Dancing Spell.

The first three were learned in the spell class, and the Dancing Spell - Tarantella Dance was learned by himself in his spare time.

In addition to the Levitation Spell, Jon couldn't think of what effect the other three spells would have if they were directly applied to himself.

Would the Illumination Spell turn him into a glowing man of light? Would the Mending Spell repair his broken body when he was injured? Or would the Dancing Spell make his dancing skills extraordinary?

Except for the middle one, which sounded a bit reliable, if the other two spells were really like this, what kind of lethality would he have learned besides making his enemies laugh to death?

From these options, the Levitation Spell is indeed the only feasible spell.

This spell can make objects fly, and the more skilled the user is in casting, the heavier objects can be driven.

If it acts on the wizard himself, wouldn't it be possible to have the ability to fly without any external force?

Thinking of this, Jon's eyes couldn't help but become excited, but Slughorn obviously saw his thoughts at this time and poured a basin of cold water on him first.

"Don't think it's so simple. The ring can only help you change your way of casting spells, but it can't change the strength of your spells. If you don't master the levitation spell well, you won't be able to reach the level you expected."

But Jon was not discouraged by what he said. The opportunity was now in front of him. What level he could reach in the future depended on himself.

"Use a levitation spell first, let me see how you learn the spell."

After hearing Slughorn's words, Jon pointed his wand at a book on his desk and then recited the spell.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

The next second, the book seemed to be lifted up by an inexplicable force and suddenly rose into the air.

Slughorn was very satisfied with the effect of Jon's levitation spell.

"Very good, even in the fourth grade, there is no student who can use the levitation spell to your level."

Jon looked at Slughorn with expectation.

"Is this level enough?"

Slughorn did not answer his question, but directly exchanged the ring with Jon and said with a smile.

"Put the ring on your body, whether it is around your neck or on your hand, you can try it."

"You don't need to wave the wand, just recite the spell as you normally do, but think of yourself instead of making other objects fly. This is just a replacement of the target. You should be able to do it."

Jon asked in disbelief.

"Is it that simple?"

"Simple?" Slughorn laughed, "Try it first."

Jon put the ring back on his neck. He restrained the habit of picking up the wand and waving it subconsciously, and directly recited the spell.

"Wingardium Leviosa."

He could clearly feel that the magic power in his body was mobilized, but the power was extremely subtle, much weaker than casting spells with a wand.

And this magic power was not like any spell he had used before, which had an impact on the real world through the wand as the final outlet. Instead, it directly passed through the ring on his neck and quickly flowed back to his body.

At that moment, Jon felt that he seemed to be a little different from a second ago, but on the surface, he had not changed at all.

"Do you feel anything?" Slughorn asked.

Jon did not give an answer immediately, but hesitantly raised his arm, then jumped a few times on the spot, and then hesitantly said.

"I always feel that my body seems to have become lighter? But the change is too small, and I can't really feel the difference before and after."

The smile on Slughorn's face froze, he restrained his expression, and looked at Jon from beginning to end with a serious face.

"Are you sure your feeling is correct?"

Jon had no way to give an accurate answer, because he didn't know whether the subtle change was real or just his illusion.

But Slughorn obviously had the means to determine the changes in his body at this moment. He gently tapped Jon's shoulders and arms with his wand, and felt the magic that had been integrated into his limbs, which was completely different from the normal state. He showed an expression of amazement on his face.

"It's very subtle, not easy to detect, but there is indeed a change. It's incredible, Jon, this is really incredible!"

Jon found his performance a little hard to understand.

"Is there any problem with this, Professor?"

Slughorn came back to his senses from his distraction, and explained to Jon seriously.

"I told you that for any magic, magic power and will are the foundation, spells and wands are just auxiliary, but if there is no auxiliary, even if the necessary conditions are met, casting will become extremely difficult. In the class where you learned the levitation spell, Filius should have told you that a wizard once summoned a cow because he mispronounced a syllable of the levitation spell. This is a typical case."

"And now you have changed the way of casting, which is equivalent to overturning the system of spells and wands. Although the spell itself will not change, the previous levitation spell The pronunciation of the spell is no longer applicable to you. Normally, the spell you pronounce with the wand should not have any effect. The magic will not change you like the outside world. The effect of the spell will be completely changed due to the wrong syllables. It will only work on you if the syllables are right, and it will not work if the syllables are wrong. "

Jon understood what Slughorn meant. He was wrong in reciting the spell according to the way the wand was cast. The pronunciation of the spell on himself would not cause the opposite result of the floating spell turning into the summoning bull, but it would not have any effect.

But now his wrong spell is effective. Although the effect is very subtle, it is a very big leap from nothing to something.

"Why did this happen?" Jon asked puzzledly.

"The auxiliary means are wrong, and the magic that should have failed succeeded. The problem can only be in the magic and will. "Slughorn looked at him seriously, "Your magic is normal, no different from other 11-year-old children, so the only explanation is that the strong will promotes the success of the magic. "
