Chapter 197： Ancient and modern

Hermione seemed to think of something, "Professor, did you use this magic text in the public class last year?"

"No, what was demonstrated in the public class was the real ancient magic, but with this magic text as the core." Felix said.

He checked the time and said mildly: "Today is almost over. As for how to discover the power of a single magic text, I arrange this part of the content for tomorrow. You can try it yourself after you go back. There is no danger, but it may It will cause you some trouble."

"Troubled?"

Felix curled up his mouth: "If I remember correctly, the effect of a magic text I taught you is very interesting. I wonder if you can find it?"

Hermione felt a bit resentful, and the professor's wicked taste reappeared...

At this point, Hermione almost understood the logic of the entire practical ancient magic text system-if by analogy, she thought of the radio that she had personally dismantled.

Mowen is the foundation of everything, and its status is equivalent to the electronic parts in the radio;

But whether it is a single magic text or electronic parts, they are relatively independent and can show their own characteristics, such as the heating of resistors, the luminescence of small light bulbs, and the magic text that implies light displayed by the professor.

These features are essentially not good or bad, strong or weak, but after adding human subjective judgment, there is a difference: the luminous characteristic is obviously more useful than the heating characteristic...

The magic text circuit corresponds to the circuit in the radio. At this time, the magic text has formed a loop through combination, which has specific magic functions, such as the burst magic text circuit demonstrated by the professor a long time ago.

She still remembered that Professor Haipu described it as "very unstable", which shows that it is difficult for a single magic circuit to be applied stably.

Only when multiple Mowen circuits cooperate with each other can we create a fully functional Mowen creation, just like her beaded pouch.

As for ancient magic, she didn't have much information, so she thought it was the same relationship.

Hermione felt that it would be easy to understand with this analogy. She told the professor her thoughts and looked at him expectantly, "What do you think?"

Felix cast an approving look, "Summarized very vividly, Miss Granger. It is perfectly understandable for you now."

The little witch nodded, she had come into contact with too much new knowledge today, and she needed to sort it out after returning.

...

When Hermione left, Felix sat on the sofa, and his harvest tonight gave him a deeper thinking about the similarities and differences between ancient magic and simplified magic.

His previous thought was that ancient magic was powerful but difficult to control; while simplified magic, its power was not outstanding, but it was completely sufficient. Its greatest advantage was that it was easy to learn, and the probability of losing control was lower.

But in fact, it is almost inevitable that simplified magic will replace ancient magic——

Simplified magic can basically be regarded as a collection of spells + spellcasting actions + magic power mobilization.

"Spell" represents the power of the soul, which can be omitted after being proficient, that is, casting the spell silently;

The latter two—'casting action' and'magic power transfer' can be confused in most cases.

This is because under the simplified magic system, the casting action and the magic power transfer are bound one by one, and one spell casting action corresponds to a way of magic power transfer. This is the essence of the entire simplified magic system.

The benefits of this approach are amazing:

Wizards do not have to spend a lot of time learning how to mobilize and control their own magic power, this part of knowledge is naturally integrated into the Hogwarts teaching system.

Theoretically speaking, as long as you learn regular spellcasting moves, you are qualified to master most spells under the same system.

The reason why not all spells are spelled is because some unpopular spellcasting actions have been deleted from Hogwarts' existing teaching materials, which means that the little wizards cannot master the magical power transfer methods behind these spellcasting actions.

However, if the professor wants to teach extra, he can spend more time on new casting actions when explaining the spell. The little wizard also finds this spell a bit difficult and not very handy.

It is precisely because of the close combination of the casting action and the magic power that many little wizards only know the former and have no idea about the latter, but this does not affect their use of magic in the slightest.

An extreme example is:

Some wizards with outstanding talents can master the corresponding magic by virtue of their spells and casting actions after only seeing someone else's spellcasting once.

What's more convenient is that when you are familiar enough with the spell, the casting action can also be omitted, and everything seems to return to the magical power itself.

It's just that most wizards didn't see this process clearly from beginning to end.

If you are not satisfied with the teaching content of the school, the Hogwarts library also has a lot of materials for reference and in-depth study of young wizards, provided that the right books are selected.

The above thoughts can be regarded as the advantages of simplified magic-simple and easy to learn, self-contained, and still retain the possibility of continuous improvement.

This is far superior to ancient magic.

We must know that ancient wizards did not even have standard uniform casting actions Each learning of ancient magic means an adventure. They naturally tend to the same type of magic to reduce the risk of learning new magic.

In addition, the ancient wizards followed the master-apprentice teaching system, and communication was not as convenient as it is now. This also led to their serious bias. Many wizards only mastered a few flame magic in their lives.

According to Felix's speculation, only when he has mastered the characteristics of a large number of practical ancient magic texts, and the combination of magic texts, can he truly exert the power of ancient magic.

Even with a few flame magic, he can start a prairie fire.

And simplifying magic is not all an advantage-

This approach has resulted in an inevitable result: for today's wizards, the older the magic, the more difficult it is to master.

This is because some ancient magic inherited the ancient wizards' understanding of magic, but this understanding seems out of place under the current magic system.

For example, the patron saint curse, it is more focused on the use of spiritual power.

And its method of mobilizing magic power is not included in the basic spellcasting movements taught by Hogwarts, which means that you have to relearn several, even a dozen methods of mobilizing magic power and controlling magic power, which is almost stumped. More than 90% of wizards.

Felix realized this early, and also thought of getting rid of the shackles of simplifying the magic framework.

He first read books in the library, learning more ways to mobilize and control magic.

He also tried to unearth powerful magic from various ancient books, master and control them.

In fact, this is also the choice of many wizards-in the pursuit of powerful magic, improve their control and understanding of magic.

Later, Felix aimed at the practical ancient magic texts that he thought pointed to the essence of magic, and it has developed all the way to today.
