What happened just now?"
"It suddenly got very bright."
Ivan ignored the chaos among the other young wizards. He turned to Professor Flitwick and said, "There was a sudden burst of bright light that was almost blinding."
"..."
Flitwick looked at Ivan in confusion. He felt as if he was facing a fake young wizard.
Is this something a young wizard would notice?
What is magic, anyway?
Magic isn't just energy, and you can't simply make spells stronger by adding more magic.
The power of a spell comes from emotions—essentially, the mind.
The angrier or more determined you are, the more powerful the magic will be.
When Ivan mentioned "ten times the magic power," it was like using ten times the strength to lift a stone.
If you use too much strength, the stone could fly away uncontrollably.
"Oh, little Ivan."
Flitwick, realizing what Ivan was experimenting with, became very anxious. "This is too dangerous! You can't just change the magic of a spell at will."
"No, how did you change the magic?"
This was something Flitwick couldn't comprehend.
Most wizards in this world can't even feel magic; only a very few can.
Flitwick didn't know how to explain what "very few" meant. He didn't understand how important the "soul" is for perceiving magic.
In short, most wizards cast spells based on instinct or intuition.
But what about Ivan?
Because of his exceptional soul, Ivan can sense how a spell relates to magic while casting.
He identified the illumination spell as one of the basic forms of magic.
Through precise practice, Ivan learned many spells and compared their differences.
In this way, like practice makes perfect, he relied on incredible instinct and intuition to master controlling magic power, allowing him to change how a spell manifests.
"Oh my God, you are so brave!"
Professor Flitwick knew the connection between magic power and spells; it's a very advanced theory.
Wizards can be roughly categorized into four stages: young wizards, adult wizards, magic masters, and great magicians.
These stages refer only to magical skill, not strength or status.
For example, Nicolas Flamel is a great magician, but due to his old age, his magic power is like that of a frail old man, and he can't do much anymore.
Similarly, most magic masters are either professors at various schools or spend their time in labs exploring the mysteries of magic.
Luna's mother, Pandora, is a magic master who studies spells.
What she was doing was similar to Ivan's current work—experimenting with spell changes by adjusting magical strength.
This kind of research is very dangerous; one small mistake could cause magic to spiral out of control.
Pandora lost her life during a spell experiment.
"You can't conduct research without taking precautions!"
Flitwick trembled, feeling worried. The emotional little professor was nearly in tears.
He didn't know whether to call Ivan bold and reckless or simply ignorant and fearless.
But Ivan had succeeded.
"I'll be more careful in the future."
"In the future?!"
Flitwick started to protest, but Ivan interrupted him: "Professor, would you like to see my research results?"
Since Ivan was willing to take such risks to explore how magic could change, he felt confident in his work.
Ivan was part of a quiet group.
Even in real danger, he could merge with the quiet part of himself to avoid threats.
The quiet part of him had incredible resilience.
In a dangerous situation, even if someone tried to destroy Ivan, he could recover from what was left of his body.
Even if he couldn't react in time, this quiet part would protect him.
It was similar to how Gaara's sand works in Naruto.
The quiet part of him was like a parasitic life form. It didn't have self-awareness but could sense danger and had its own emotions.
With this double protection, Ivan felt fearless.
"This…"
Flitwick was genuinely curious.
Seeing this, Ivan smiled and waved his wand. "Let there be light!"
Ivan had learned this spell at the beginning of the school year. It creates a golden light that shines ahead and leaves glowing footprints, making it easy to see the way forward.
"Oh, what a beautiful transformation of the spell!"
Even though Flitwick had warned Ivan to be careful, he felt thrilled and wanted to jump for joy at the sight of this magic, which combined several spells.
Ivan quickly explained the principle behind the magic to Flitwick.
Flitwick's talent was undeniable; he quickly grasped the secret of Ivan's spell.
The spell to light up the way wasn't difficult. With Flitwick's skill, he could master it in just a few days and likely do it even better than Ivan.
This was understandable.
As a Hogwarts professor, Flitwick's experience far surpassed Ivan's at that moment.
Ivan's advantage lay in his five points of magic and soul, which served as the foundation for his creativity.
"If you adjust the magic power to around three and think about using it more efficiently, it will turn out like this."
"Firefly Glimmer!"
As Ivan finished speaking, the students noticed no changes around them.
The class was actually over, but none of the young wizards wanted to leave.
The Gryffindor students looked at Ivan with admiration.
With their lion king present, they felt they couldn't leave.
The other students were simply eager to learn and wanted to see more of Ivan's new magic.
"Professor, can you help me?"
Noticing Flitwick looked puzzled, Ivan said, "Can you make the classroom darker?"
"Oh, okay."
Flitwick waved his wand, and all the windows in the classroom closed tightly.
However, instead of darkness, the tables, chairs, floors, and decorations glowed with a soft blue light.
This gentle, mysterious glow made the young witches gasp, feeling as if they had entered a fairy tale.
Even Professor Flitwick couldn't help but feel excited by this magic transformation. "What an amazing change! Even though it requires more magic, it's distributed beautifully."
