How to Trigger a Magical Outburst

"Is the tallest only black?" Cedric raised his hand.

He didn't really want to ask questions; he just knew the identity of the wizard who had appeared at both Harry's and his wedding— Tom Riddle.

Because of his spiritual connection with the other Tom Riddle, he unconsciously wanted to communicate with and befriend this Tom Riddle.

He didn't consider the previous exchange in the Staff Room a true exchange; it was mixed with interests and not pure.

"Of course not." The masked wizard, Riddle, shook his head. "It's just that the highest color right now is black."

He looked at Harry and Cedric, who were Champion, with anticipation in his eyes.

He hoped to see a new color in the two of them.

He then added, "As for the maximum number of [Magic Ring], the current maximum is seven."

("Seven, the most magical number." Even as Voldemort was adjusting his current body, he still said it subconsciously.)

"But you only have two?" Harry exclaimed in shock.

He also knew that the masked wizard was Demon Man, and that the [Magic Ring] was invented by the Demon Man Riddle!

"Witches," Riddle, as if recalling some painful memory, "Have better ways to increase their magic."

"If the color of the [Magic Ring] emphasizes the quality of magic in terms of both quality and quantity, then the number of [Magic Ring] emphasizes the quantity."

("As expected," Dumbledore. "However, in this case, even if a witch possesses a [Magic Ring], she cannot steal the magic within a wizard's [Magic Ring].")

"May I know who that witch is?" Gingley asked directly, completely oblivious to any hint of unease. "Is it Dumbledore?"

"Alastor Moody," Riddle pronounced the name, word by word.

(Mad-Eye Moody wasn't surprised at all by his gender in this world; he simply twirled his blue demonic eyes with interest. "Oh, so this version of me has a grudge against the Demon Man and has left such a deep impression on him.")

"A regular at 'The Hunger Platform' Demon Man, the Turret Moody!" Kingley exclaimed!

The masked sorcerer's expression darkened further, and he fell into a long silence.

Despite the fact that the victim was right in front of him, Harry couldn't help but ask Gingley about the Turret Witch's cannons and how she spent her days firing cannons.

A minute later, Harry's pupils dilated in shock. "A witch who, relying on her own seniority, can skip the queue, extract Demon Man from witches every day, and thus possess unprecedented magical power, like a cannon turret, capable of creating a scene of cannon fire with a single Stunning Spell?"

(Many male wizards unconsciously trembled. What grudge could they have? Even a diamond-forged penis would wear down eventually.)

(In that instant, they understood the true value of the male witch bloodline and the Demon Man in that world.)

(Voldemort's lips twitch.)

(Ginny turned pale. She was relieved that she was still young and had three witches to share the burden, otherwise she would definitely have died on Bede.)

(Mad-Eye Moody stroked his chin. "Did I not go insane in that world because I had a man to satisfy my desires? Was it a mistake for me to choose to be single?")

(Bellatrix's hands emitted green plasma-like magical phenomena; her hatred for Moody in that world allowed her the Cruciatus Curse to break free from the wand requirement. Unfortunately, she still had to go to prison. The guardians of Azkaban in that world— the Dementor —were derivatives of Death, only vulnerable to the Patronus Charm.)

(Dumbledore exclaimed, "I am indeed not as great as the Demon Man, yet he was willing to teach Moody [Magic Ring], what a magnanimous heart he has!")

(Professor McGonagall said she couldn't understand it.)

Cedric, without interrupting, asked, "Every day? With that kind of frequency, she doesn't have children?"

Gingley frowned. "I haven't had a chance to say it yet, but she is also the first and only witch to give birth to Slytherin boy."

(Professor McGonagall suddenly realized, "I finally understand. Moody is the mother of her son. His only son.")

Harry and Cedric gasped.

Riddle on stage finally broke free from his painful memories and this time chose to get straight to the point.

A blackboard appeared out of thin air, covered with dense text. Amazingly, even the little wizards in the last row, dozens of feet away from the blackboard, could clearly see the bottle cap-sized text.

(Dumbledore, beginning to guess what spells Riddle had just used.)

(The most obvious advantage of spellcasting is that the spell cannot be determined by the movement of the shoulders and hands, or by the spell inscription. It can only be deduced by looking back at the phenomenon it creates, making it very difficult to counter or interrupt the magical phenomenon in advance.)

(Ultimately, they got caught in a vicious cycle of exchanging spells.)

(Dumbledore facing the same problem.)

(His extensive knowledge ironically became a constraint; he could conceive of over a dozen combinations of incantations that could achieve this effect.)

(Unlike Dumbledore, the other audience members paid more attention to what was written on the blackboard.)

The same goes for Cedric and Harry.

"It's Magical Outburst!" Harry exclaimed in shock.

"After the Magical Outburst, just keep drawing a circle in your mind until you faint." Cedric was shocked. "It's that simple? No, how did the Demon Man find out! Well, that makes sense, the Demon Man did seem to have been knocked unconscious several times in prison."

"I doubt any wizard has fainted more times than him!"

"But how do we get so many people into a state of Magical Outburst again?" Harry frowned.

Magical Outburst refers to the unconscious use of magic by young wizards before the age of 11, when they do not yet possess magical abilities, resulting in various strange phenomena.

Many strange things happened to him: overnight, his almost bald head returned to its original hairstyle; he once flew onto the roof while being chased by his classmates; he accidentally turned his teacher's wig blue; and on Dudley's birthday, while visiting the zoo, he made the glass window containing the python disappear, startling Dudley.

Only after enrolling in the school did he realize that this was due to the instability of his mind during childhood, which made his magic unstable.

This situation is not impossible to recur in adulthood.

In times of emergency, a person may unleash magic they never dreamed of, causing their magical power to surge uncontrollably.

Harry could easily do this by using his "Mystic Eye" to hypnotize himself.

But with so many children learning the [Magic Ring] right now, how did the Demon Man put them in a state of crisis, causing their own magic power to become unstable and erupt?

It wasn't written on the blackboard either.

Potions? Or some unique spell?

At that moment, Riddle seemed to hear Harry's thoughts and said, "Making one's own magic go wild is easy for a wizard whose magic is chaotic. He can achieve this by just casting spells until he is exhausted."

"But since magic is more about order, and many witches can learn it due to special reasons, there must be a faster and more convenient way."

"First, a tiny Dotty despair."

"Because of the invention of spell cards, we have easier access to the spiritual world than ancient wizards."

"If we have a rich enough imagination, just as we can draw spell cards out of thin air, we can also simulate other objects, environments, and even people."

"At that time, as long as you materialize what you fear most, face it, and then draw a circle, the [Magic Ring] will be constructed."

("Boggart." Dumbledore's eyes lit up. "It can transform into whatever people fear most.")

(Neville, sitting at the Gryffindor table below, disagreed, saying, "We just need a Snape to stare us in the face.")

"At this point, we need a Boggart, a non-existent thing that can let you know what your greatest fear is."

Riddle paused here, but did not explain what the Boggart was or what non-existence was.

Harry instantly understood that the shortcut they were about to take today was not the first one.

"Second, find a girlfriend."

"This girlfriend must be a witch, simulating the state of being exhausted from casting spells."

"Literally, but that doesn't apply to most of you."

(Countless viewers sighed; this didn't apply to them either.)

(Their world doesn't have witches as defined in this world; Phoebe counts, but...)

(Krum sighed. Even with a witch, his elven magic wouldn't be drained.)

"You are still children."

"Relying solely on words to extract magic is too slow."

"Third, mathematics."

"Our magic has been clearly proven to be related to our brains."

"Constantly doing math problems, overcoming one difficulty after another, until your brain feels swollen is like casting a spell until you're completely exhausted."

("Mathematics? You might as well kill me!")

(A large portion of the audience seemed to hear some kind of demonic language.)

(People can do anything when pushed to the limit, but not mathematics.)

(Mathematics, if you don't know it, you just don't know it.)

(It also tests logical thinking the most.)

(For wizards who rely on intuition when casting spells, logical thinking is something they need to discard.)

(This is why many of the greatest wizards lacked any ability for logical reasoning.)

Cedric clearly shared the same thought, raising his hand. "Does it have to be math? Can't we use our brains to think about other things?"

"Can I memorize it? Like the dry A History of Magic?"

Riddle chuckled. "Of course you could, but you'd be more likely to be drowsy."

(Ron nodded in agreement. In every A History of Magic class, only Hermione could stay awake, and now Basil had joined the ranks.)

(Some of the young wizards who chose Arithmancy agreed, as falling asleep in arithmetic class is much harder than other subjects.)

"Okay, continue."

Fourth, Legilimency.

"Simply shut down the brain, abandon all thinking, and keep drawing circles."

"When you wake up, you will find that the [Magic Ring] has been successfully constructed."

(Snape's eyes instantly seemed to turn into two dark tunnels; he had begun to act.)

Fifth, the Venom of the Pygmy Puff.

(Newt frowned; he also had Pygmy Puff in his Fantastic Beasts box.)

(It looks very strange and beautiful, Magical Creature with a pair of blue-green wings. Its shape is like a reptile or a giant butterfly. When it does not spread its sharp wings and wraps itself up, it looks like a green, thorny cocoon.)

(But contrary to its beautiful appearance, it has a strange habit—it feeds on human brains. This makes it a rather dangerous and Fantastic Beasts.)

(However, according to Newt's research, the nutrients that the Pygmy Puff need in their brains are pleasant memories.)

(As long as there are pleasant memories—that is, regenerative thought fibers extracted through Legilimency —it is possible to feed a Pygmy Puff.)

(Perhaps for this reason, the Venom of the Pygmy Puff —a luminous liquid extracted from the egg sacs of the Pygmy Puff —has the ability to erase bad memories when properly diluted.)

(However, the creation of the [Magic Ring] requires fear and despair, which clearly contradicts the effects of the Pygmy Puff's Venom.)

"It has the ability to erase painful memories. It's a kind of poison that works on the mind."

"Before it is diluted, it can even destroy a person's mind, so that the prey will not feel any pain when being devoured by the Pygmy Puff, and may even feel pleasure and happiness."

"Let every person or animal whose brain has been sucked out by its green straw die with a smile."

"But few wizards have explored why this liquid can erase painful memories."

"And Sif Snape discovered its principle."

(Dumbledore sighed. In his view, while Snape was excellent, he hadn't shown any innovation or investigative spirit in Potions since Lily's death. He certainly wouldn't have studied Potions ingredients like Snape had, thus discovering the principle Pygmy Puff's Venom's ability to erase painful memories.)

(However, I guess this is the method these young wizards will be using today.)

(Otherwise, Riddle wouldn't have said so much.)

(After all, the very concept of light not existing is enough for him to explain for an hour.)

"The Venom of the Pygmy Puff can absorb and fuse with painful memories, then vaporize and disappear along with them."

"And what we're going to use today is the gaseous Venom of the Pygmy Puff."

"It can drive those who inhale it to despair, and plunge their brains and magic into chaos and turmoil."

As Riddle spoke, he pulled a huge glass jar from his pocket that looked like it could fit inside.

The green gas with a blue glow swirled inside.

A rubber straw with a spout is attached to the side of the glass jar.

After placing the glass jar on the table, he took out a list.

"Next, everyone whose name is called should come forward and take a breath."

"Oh, and remember to change the suction nozzle."

He then pulled a large bag of mouthpieces from his pocket.

"After taking a puff, remember the next steps and circle them in your mind."

"Okay, I'll start reading the names now."

"Colin Creevey!"

"Arrive!"

To Harry's surprise, a familiar face appeared and took the sucker.

(Colin's camera, while regretting that it couldn't take pictures, also wondered, "What is Harry surprised about?")

(The Gryffindor boy, annoyed by his interruption, said irritably, "He's shocked that you're a boy.")

After inhaling the gas, Colin collapsed backward amidst gasps of alarm.

His eyes turned blue, and upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the greenish-blue gaseous substance had entered his pupils and was swirling inside.
