Unique Magic Circuits

The Mandrake's Magic Circuit is the most complex of all the Magical Plants that Wizet has encountered so far.

If you only observe it briefly, you can only see a tangled mess of hemp fibers, which seems to be constantly moving and full of indescribable restlessness, making him feel dizzy.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the complexity of the Magic Circuit that it became a part of Ritual Magic.

Compared to modern magic, which is incredibly precise and can be cast using wands, gestures, and spells, Ritual Magic is much broader in scope.

Ancient wizards used Ritual Magic to deal with this breadth, and thus developed multiple steps, constantly eliminating and combining elements to ultimately achieve the desired magical effect.

Wizet suppressed her dizziness and focused her attention even more intently on observing the Mandrake.

This time, his observations were not limited to the tubers, but also included the leaves of the Mandrake.

He made a new discovery by observing the leaves of the Mandrake.

The leaves of the Mandrake contain Magic Circuit, completely different from Magic Circuit in the tuber.

The overall Magic Circuit is extremely orderly, like a series of sturdy and stable nails, firmly fixing the Magic Circuit of the root.

There is a connection between the leaves and the tubers. You can vaguely feel that the Magic Circuit of the leaves also flow and slowly enter the tubers.

The new discovery of Mandrake alleviated the dizziness and gave Wizet more energy to continue studying the special features of Mandrake.

He discovered something interesting: the Magic Circuit between the leaves and the tubers flowed between each other.

Even though the flow was extremely slight, it was still detected through his patient observation.

Sprout looked around and walked over to Wizet's side.

She bent down slightly to carefully examine the Mandrake that had just been transplanted.

The soil in the flowerpot was very even, and the burial position was just right...

She wasn't surprised by Wizet's good performance, but she still had a satisfied smile on her face.

Sprout straightened up, gently patted Wizet on the shoulder, and gestured for Wizet to follow him.

The two went to the Greenhouse Two and waited until Sprout closed the door to make sure they couldn't hear the Mandrake's calls before they took off their earmuffs.

Wizet rubbed her temples to relieve the dizziness. "Professor Sprout, is there anything I can help you with?"

"These are for you..." Sprout opened his hand, revealing a few tender mandela leaves.

"Mandragora leaves that have just been transplanted are the best for practicing Animagus."

"The best effect?" Wizet maintained his Magic Eye, and on the leaf in Sprout's hand, there were still Magic Circuit like nails.

Since the leaves have been picked, their Magic Circuit have stopped flowing and have stabilized.

He pondered Sprout's words, connecting them with the Magic Circuit he had observed, which gave rise to new questions.

"Professor Sprout, does the effect of Mandrake leaves weaken as the plant grows larger?"

"Of course!" Sprout nodded. "Once the Mandrake matures, its leaves will have hallucinogenic properties."

"Especially in the Middle Ages, when Mandrake was still widely distributed, it wasn't as difficult to obtain as it is now..."

"The wizards of that time would keep the leaves and make them into tea, which they believed would inspire their creativity to some extent..."

"Once the effects wear off, in addition to causing hallucinations, it will also dull the wizard's senses and even temporarily cause them to lose their ability to cast spells."

Wizet held the Mandrake in her hand, marveling at the wonder of this Magical Plants.

When Mandrake is young, its tuberous roots are not medicinal and it makes a dizzying sound, but its leaves are useful for Animagus exercises.

Once the Mandrake matures, its tuber becomes a powerful restorative agent and can be added to various Potions to enhance their Potions. However, the leaves become hallucinogenic poisons.

Mandrake needs to be repotted several times to mature.

According to Sprout, the leaves can be picked before the second repotting and used as practice material for Animagus.

Wizet also planned to take advantage of this time to try to analyze the Mandrake through the Magic Eye and study it more deeply.

Sprout led the students to the Greenhouse Two, where they admired several beautiful Magical Plants. After a short relaxation, they returned to the Third Greenhouse to continue their herbalism class.

Mandrake have undergone their first repotting will develop a growing curiosity about the outside world, having already seen it.

Students need to use small wooden mallets to continuously tap the exposed roots of the Mandrake, which feels a bit like playing whack-a-mole.

In this way, their curiosity about the outside world can be dispelled, and they can be made aware of the dangers of the outside world.

It can also stimulate their growth desire, making them absorb fertilizer more actively and shortening the time needed to mature.

Whether it's repotting or tapping the roots, these are special methods developed by Sprout based on the habits of Mandrake, which can enhance the survival rate of Mandrake.

Like Mandrake in the wild, they don't have savages to do these things for them, so it's a rare thing that they can grow to maturity successfully.

After the herbalism class ended, Wizet strolled down the corridor, still organizing the notes she had taken in class.

The notes contain not only Sprout's lectures, but also the Magic Circuit he observed through the Magic Eye.

Taking notes is only the first step; categorizing and organizing them into something you can understand is also an extremely important step.

"There are no shortcuts to success, and hard work is also very important!" Lockhart's voice rang out. "No wonder Professor Flitwick and the others thought so highly of you!"

When Wizet looked up, he saw Lockhart holding a pot of Mandrake, which seemed to be the same pot he had transplanted.

Lockhart smiled broadly. "Professor Sprout said that you personally repotted this Mandrake. No one knows Mandrake better than me!"

"The moment I saw it, I felt it was different from others, more robust and more vibrant, just like you!"

Wizet, took two steps to the side to create some distance between himself and Lockhart, and quickened his pace.

Lockhart seemed completely unconcerned, his smile unchanged, and quickened his pace alongside Wizet.

"Wizet, I'll just call you that! After that first class at the beginning of the semester, weren't you very interested in the Obliviation Charm? Why didn't you come to find me?"

Wizet said, "Professor Lockhart, there are many things to do since the start of the semester, and there is a lot of new knowledge to learn and research."

"If someone else said that, I would definitely think they were just trying to appease me," Lockhart grinned. "But if you say it... then it must be true!"
