40- Mana Control?
"Huh... ha..."
The mist rolled in again, bringing Daphne, who was still in shock, back into the secret chamber.
After her feet landed on the solid marble floor, Daphne's legs softened and she collapsed directly onto the ground.
After taking a breath, she touched the hem of her robe and found that it was very dry and showed no sign of being wet by the seawater. She gradually regained her composure.
The scene just now was actually Slytherin's memory?! What kind of monster was he fighting back then?
At this moment, Daphne's respect for Slytherin, the founder of her house, reached its peak.
According to the last fragment in the memory, Slytherin won the battle, which is outrageous!
Anyway, Daphne felt that if she were in such a condition, she would be able to boast about it for the rest of her life if she could escape alive.
'What are the other three founders doing at the time? Was it because Slytherin hadn't met them yet?'
A small doubt flashed through her mind, and then was thrown away by Daphne, because Rhys asked her what she thought after reading/watching that memory.
'Of course, it was extremely shocking!'
For the first time, Daphne saw what "the ultimate magic" is. A wizard who can practice magic to the extreme can be called a "moving natural disaster."
"He changed my understanding of magic." Daphne said, "Before this, I never knew that magic could be so powerful."
Rhys nodded with satisfaction: This is the purpose of what he did, to open Daphne's eyes and let her understand where the upper limit of magic is. Before teaching students, you have to let them know what this industry is really like, right? Especially students like Daphne who can choose their own "major".
"So what type of spell do you want to learn?" After laying the groundwork, Rhys asked Daphne what type of spell she wanted to learn.
"You can teach me anything?"
"Yes, there are almost no spells I can't teach."
"I want to learn how to refine the Philosepher's stone. If I can refine that magic stone, my sister's illness may be cured."
Compared with a thousand years ago, the modern magic world has made great progress in wand-making and magic spells, so much so that some seemingly outdated concepts have been eliminated.
Such as mana control.
Just as the emergence of calculators in the non-magical world has swept calculations and abacus into the garbage heap of history, the improvement of wands and spells has also made mana control no longer a required course for wizards. Wizards hadn't even heard of the concept.
Why use your brain when you can simply follow a formula? You only need to follow specific gestures, intonations, and sentence fragments to cast a charm or curse.
And after a long time, no one will think deeply about why after he/she waves and shakes his/her hands and chants "Wingardium Levi-O-sa" it makes the feathers float.
Knowing what to chant and how to move, but not knowing why such movements and chants are done is a common problem in the modern magic world. It is also the reason why in such a large modern magic world, very few wizards can fly without a broom. The one who is best at flying is actually the Dark Lord Voldemort! Well, Rhys doesn't know this.
Think more, wizards.
So they just follow the formulas, Rhys sighed: "I think we should start practicing by controlling your magic power first."
Fearing that Daphne would be impatient, he also explained: "If you don't understand mana control or the principles of magic, you can't become a wizard like Slytherin even if you master 10,000 spells."
Then he began to explain to Daphne how to mobilize the magic power in her body and release it.
Because the content he talked about was too basic, Rhys was quite awkward when talking about it - he really didn't expect that one day he would talk about something this basic to a young witch from a pure-blood family.
Fortunately, he had listened to a few enlightenment lessons about patience from Helga Hufflepuff, otherwise, he would have been in trouble.
With Rhys's guidance, Daphne succeeded after a few tries.
A tingling warmth flowed in her left arm, eventually gathering at the fingertips of her palm, and then——
puff!
A small cyclone was born from Daphne's palm and then dissipated.
"Congratulations, you have learned how to release your magic power." Rhys praised her from the side.
