When the curtain of light transmitted the video to this point, the magical world plunged into deep silence.
Not because they were shocked or surprised, but because everyone was confused. Their expressions seemed to ask:
Who am I? Where am I? What should I do?
In the Great Hall of Hogwarts, students from all years exchanged glances, acting out a grand play together:
"Have you understood anything since Harry Black started practicing the Alohomora spell?"
"Uh... but of course I did, actually. It's very simple to understand."
"Great! Then start explaining so we can all clearly understand."
"Ah! That's not something a child like you could comprehend yet. Wait until you're an adult."
These situations weren't limited to the younger wizards. Even older wizards like Dumbledore had perplexed expressions.
If before he could somewhat understand Harry Black's method of enhancing magic, now, what was before his eyes was like a heavenly book, something simply incomprehensible for humans to understand.
Since the magical world separated from the Muggle world in 1692, 299 years had passed.
It's known that disciplines to understand nature and science began take shape during the Renaissance period.
Disciplines like Physics and Chemistry emerged at the same time as the International Statute of Secrecy was not yet implemented, and they may have helped wizards innovate their spellcasting and potion-making abilities.
However, Biology, one of the main fields of human knowledge, only began to take shape in 1859 with the work of scientists like Charles Darwin and the publication of The Origin of Species.
Even the term "concept," originating from ancient Muggle philosophy, was not widely accepted by the wizarding society.
The growing connection between the term and Muggle science eventually weakened this area of knowledge among wizards.
Perhaps that's why there is no "true doctor" among wizards. Anyone who can cast a healing spell or brew a fever potion is accepted as a doctor in the wizarding community.
Now, in the face of unknown knowledge, it's fair to say that their reaction was dull because they had no idea how shocking the type of power Harry Black was trying to manifest truly was.
But that doesn't mean everyone was completely ignorant. There were still those who came from the Muggle world.
Mr. Granger: "This… Is this the kind of concept I imagine it to be?"
Minerva McGonagall: "Mr. Granger, it seems you know something about what Harry Black is thinking. Why not share it with us?"
Mr. Granger: "I can't explain it well, but… I'm pretty sure that what Harry Black is trying to do shouldn't be something possible for a mortal."
To help everyone understand better, Mr. Granger gave a brief philosophy lesson, recalling his years of study and explaining a bit about the term "concept."
After his explanation, it was as if a bomb had exploded in the wizarding world. Shocked and frightened expressions appeared on the faces of all the wizards. Even dark wizards were no exception.
Gellert Grindelwald: "Define existing meaning, control that meaning throughout experience… how could something like that exist!? Besides, these are Muggle fundamentals who have never experienced the power of magic. How could magic do that!?"
Albus Dumbledore: "Dear friend, I'm afraid you're a little mistaken. If I'm not wrong, what Harry did by using the cleaning spell already exceeds the limits defined by the creator of cleaning magic. But if this magic involves concepts, why would it have such a weak effect… could it be the magical structure?"
As expected from the greatest white wizard, Dumbledore quickly identified the problem. The reason Harry was able to use the cleaning spell combined with his thoughts about concepts was simply because his thoughts were strong enough.
Almost every wizard knows famous spells like the Killing Curse: Avada Kedavra, or the Patronus Charm: Expecto Patronum.
But is simply knowing the correct pronunciation enough to successfully perform the magic? If that were the case, even a child could compete for the title of White Demon or Dark Lord.
In the magical world, there are many factors to learning magic: Theoretical Knowledge, Correct Pronunciation, Proper Wand Movement, Intention, Practice, Magical Power and Emotions.
In the execution of Harry Black's conceptual cleaning magic, he barely passed in terms of intention, magical strength, and emotion.
Not to mention "cleaning" a human being; even a fingernail could instantly deplete his magical power, and there would still be risks of the spell backfiring.
The most important factor in spell creation is, without a doubt, theoretical knowledge and the structure of magical circulation.
Therefore, when Harry successfully cast the Lumos spell and memorized the magical circulation structure, he was already qualified to cast the spell silently. This is the secret behind silent spells.
However, Harry only had access to second-hand knowledge about spells and theories which pure-blood families disdained to keep in their private libraries.
Without the opportunities or the magical secrets of these families, it would be impossible for him to create a truly powerful spell.
There is no doubt that the books from these families could help Harry advance quickly in his reflections on conceptual magic.
Perhaps... it was even possible to expand his [Magical Training Method], but that would be something for the future. For now, returning to the present...
All the wizards were still stunned by Mr. Granger's revelation. What Harry was trying to do wasn't just ordinary magic, but something unimaginable, like manipulating concepts that only a god could master!
Are you kidding me? We honestly just use simple spells, but you're already thinking about creating conceptual magic?
However, as shocked as they were, the curtain of light would not wait for them. It began transmitting the parallel world once again.
[After spending several minutes reflecting on the creation of conceptual magic, Harry finally calmed down.
He had discovered that conceptual magic was possible, but he realized that, with his current theoretical knowledge, It would be impossible to create a spell of this caliber.
Harry then obediently began studying the spells recorded in the books and set aside his ideas about conceptual magic. However, his satisfaction was short-lived, as he soon encountered an obstacle.
When he finished learning the third-year spells and prepared for the fourth-year ones, he was perplexed to see that the book only mentioned the name and provided safety instructions for using the spells, without detailing the learning process.
Stunned, he checked the books for the following years, and the same situation repeated itself.
It was then that Harry finally understood why Professor McGonagall had said it was still too early to teach him Transfiguration techniques for living beings.
Only fourth-year students could learn them, and under the supervision of a professor. The same was true for other spells considered dangerous for young wizards.
Despite this, Harry was not discouraged. He simply adapted his plans, beginning to read the books he had previously ignored, such as those on Potions and Herbology.
Thus, time passed, and before he knew it, there was only one week left before boarding the Hogwarts Express.
All his books had been read for several days. Even though he couldn't fully practice the knowledge beyond the fourth year, at least he mastered the theory.
With the remaining week, Harry dedicated himself even more to the newly learned spells, as learning does not mean mastery, and one powerful spell is enough to make him strong in any battle.
Before he knew it, the day to board the Hogwarts Express had arrived.]
