With infinite visions for the future, Andy opened the book "Standard Spells: Elementary" with great anticipation.
"Lumos!"
Andy gently waved his wand according to the standard gesture described in the book and whispered the spell. The tip of the wand suddenly emitted a faint light.
"Is this the Luminescent Charm? It's surprisingly simple!"
The Luminescent Charm is the basis of all spells. The young wizard only needs to strictly follow the steps described in the book to cast the spell, and there is basically no possibility of spell failure. Even if a little wizard has a brain like a troll, he can almost succeed by trying a few more times.
However, the description of the Luminescent Spell in the textbook is not just about gestures and spells. The book's explanation of the Luminescent Charm is very comprehensive, covering the principles of magic, applicable occasions, and changes in magic after becoming proficient in it - including but not limited to throwing the Luminescent Charm. In short, as a first-grade textbook, this book is undoubtedly qualified.
"Haha! Andy, you're done!"
Isabel suddenly laughed with glee and said, "I heard that young wizards can't cast spells outside of school. You will be expelled from Hogwarts soon."
"Let me think, Andy. You should be the first little wizard to be expelled from Hogwarts before entering school, right? Congratulations, you have made history."
The little girl rolled around on the sofa with joy.
"Silly!" Andy complained, thinking his little sister had fish lips. In order to prevent underage wizards from casting spells outside of school, the Ministry of Magic first established the "Law on Reasonable Restraint of Underage Wizards", and then set up "Tracing Threads" to monitor the casting of spells by underage wizards outside of school.
According to the Collins family's constant testing of the laws of the wizarding world for generations, the so-called 'trace' is naturally not a secret. First of all, only the young wizards who enter Hogwarts to study will be monitored by Trace. Andy has not yet officially enrolled. Secondly, the function of 'Tracing Thread' is not perfect. It is a range monitoring, mainly targeting young wizards of Muggle origin, in order to prevent them from being exposed to the magical world. As for young wizards who come from wizard families, as long as they are accompanied by adult wizards, the trace thread will completely lose its function. Of course, if there are no adult wizards around, even if a young wizard from a wizard family casts spells outside, the Ministry of Magic will detect traces of the casting.
Without paying any more attention to Isabel, Andy silently turned on the system and waved his wand.
"Lumos!"
The amount of red liquid in the ball seemed to have increased a little compared to a month and a half ago, but Andy still hadn't figured out the principle behind the increase of red liquid. Andy had a guess, but it was difficult to verify before.
"Is it related to the attribute prompt?"
With this question in mind, Andy waved his wand continuously.
"Lumos!"
"Lumos!"
After trying more than ten times, Andy keenly noticed that the red liquid in the ball seemed to have risen slightly. It was a very small increase, and Andy might not have noticed it if he hadn't looked carefully.
For five years, Andy has never stopped researching the system. The system has a total of ten attributes. On the left are: Charms, Transfiguration, Dark Arts, Alchemy, Divination. On the right side are: magic, soul, heart, mind, and will.
Andy's previous guess was that only by training and improving the abilities of the five attributes on the left side could the red liquid in the sphere be improved. Over the years, Andy has tried various methods but has only achieved one potential point. Practicing magic control is not actually considered part of the "magic" category, and Andy was not allowed to read books related to spellcasting before. But the red liquid in the ball still increased and was full once, giving Andy a potential point.
It was just speculation. Now it has been confirmed. In the past five years, Andy has improved two attributes in total.
The [Magic] attribute went from [1] to [2], and the [Soul] attribute went from [3] to [4]. They are all passive enhancements. In addition, the originally unstable magic power gradually became stable. The gradual stabilization of magic power is actually equivalent to a disguised improvement of related abilities such as spells, transfiguration, and black magic. After trying countless methods, these are the last possibilities Andy can think of.
"So the next step... is to learn the spells and start practicing a lot." In other words…
"If the ability of the left attribute is improved, it can really increase the red liquid in the sphere, then black magic must be considered within the 'learning range'." I want to learn all the magic in the world. Learn the truth about magic. Quest for immortality and power. My wand represents isolation, seclusion, longevity, and rebirth.
"This character is really familiar."
Andy was thoughtful.
"If I were in Slytherin, I would get a bunch of poisonous snakes as pets, and when I got into a fight I would let the snakes bite people..."
Am I the snake uncle of the magic world? Is there ambition that cannot be hidden in my eyes?
"Actually, if you think about it, the Snake House seems pretty good."
The original symbol of Slytherin House is: focus on ambition, leadership, cunning, determination, and resourcefulness. But as some rumors about Slytherin himself emerged, Slytherin House became a symbol of pure-bloodedness.
"Forget it. For things like the Sorting House, it's better to just go with the flow."
In fact, in Andy's opinion, the greatest treasure of Hogwarts is the library's collection of books that has been stored for thousands of years. Perhaps, this is also the greatest treasure in the magical world. As long as you learn the magic above, you will naturally become a powerful wizard.
In the evening, when Kyle got home from work, Helen had already prepared a sumptuous dinner, and the living room was filled with a faint fragrance.
"Andy, are you very happy today?"
Kyle said excitedly, "I haven't asked yet, what is your wand made of?"
"Pine wood, phoenix tail feathers." Andy practiced magic for an entire afternoon and was now exhausted.
"Not bad. Wands made of phoenix tail feathers are very rare, but pine wood is just ordinary." Kyle is just an ordinary wizard. He judges the quality of a wand based on the wood and the core.
Isabel complained quietly, "Mom, Andy cast a spell at home today."
"Be careful yourself."
Helen looked at Andy and said, "If I'm not at home, you should read by yourself instead of waving your wand around."
"Got it!" Andy nodded.
"Speaking of which..."
Kyle suddenly suggested, "Andy is old enough to go to school now, so we have to celebrate at home. The last time Andy and Isa saw their grandfather was last Christmas."
"What do you think?" Kyle turned to look at Helen.
"Well! Then I will write to them tomorrow." Helen agreed.
Andy looked at the three family members at the table and suddenly felt that there was still some gap between himself and Uncle Snake's personality.
