The Three Great Ancient Magics

After breakfast, Mu En didn't rush Harry to work. Instead, he turned and asked, "How have you been studying the books I gave you?"

Mu En had given those books to Harry in August of the previous year. Now, in early July, he should have finished reading all of them.

Harry would occasionally take books to him to ask about key points, so Mu En wasn't too worried about the boy's reading attitude.

He was just unsure about the progress.

Harry said seriously, "I've finished them all."

Mu En nodded. "Do you remember what I told you on the street when you first started school last year?"

Harry nodded. He would never forget that day.

It was also from that day on that Dudley stopped bullying him.

"You said then that my next step should be brain development, but after that incident, it was changed to physical training," Harry said. Then his eyes lit up, and he said with slight excitement, "Uncle Mu En, can I start the next stage of training?!"

"That's right," Mu En nodded. "You have a sufficient foundation in modern magic, so now I'll teach you a spell that can accompany a wizard throughout their life!"

Afterward, Mu En didn't immediately tell Harry what the spell was. Instead, he asked, "What are the paths of the three major ancient magic systems?"

Harry tapped his forehead lightly, organized his thoughts, and slowly began, "The three major ancient magic systems are Ancient Greek Magic, Ancient Egyptian Magic, and Germanic Magic."

Harry tapped his head, his tone calm and unhurried. "Ancient Greek Magic was the first magic system to break away from primitive sacrifices.

Due to institutional reasons, a large number of spellcasters began to contemplate natural laws, the essence of heaven and earth, and the human heart. At the same time, some spellcasters attempted to seek breakthroughs in ancient mathematics.

After hundreds of years of development, Ancient Greek Magic forged a casting approach dominated by [Abstract Logic].

This path has extremely high requirements for brain computing power and casting logic, characterized by calculation, logical construction, and spatial geometry.

Its most outstanding branches are Charms and Alchemy.

However, it is a pity that after Pope John XXII of Rome ordered the prohibition of Alchemy. A large number of Ancient Greek Alchemy achievements were stolen and integrated into 'The Book of Abraham.'

This book is currently in the possession of Nicolas Flamel. He also used this book to refine the Philosopher's Stone, lived for over seven hundred years, and even had a close relationship with Dumbledore."

Mu En nodded. His primary field of study was the Ancient Greek system. Including the Trident of Poseidon he obtained from the Caribbean Sea, Poseidon's trident also originated from this system.

This was why he was so overjoyed to obtain Thales's manuscript from Borgin.

"Continue," Mu En said, waving his hand.

Harry nodded. "Ancient Egyptian Magic, due to the culture's unique worship of death and its high-pressure slave system. It became the best soil for Dark Magic.

[Concrete Desire] is the path of Ancient Egyptian Magic. Wizards cast spells by imagining the effect they want to achieve.

This path emphasizes high spiritual power and extreme desire.

Its most outstanding branches are Dark Magic and Transfiguration, which was explored through the lives of slaves. For example, ancient Transfiguration – the Charm to Create Beasts!"

After speaking, Harry looked at Mu En, waiting for him to add anything. He wasn't sure if he had missed anything.

"Curses are also a flourishing branch of Ancient Egyptian magic," Mu En said.

"The development of curses stemmed from the Ancient Egyptians' desire not to have their eternal sleep disturbed. Pharaohs, in particular, would set up intricate and malicious curses in their pyramids.

Of course, the magical world is now working on deciphering them. After all, who wouldn't want to obtain the vast collection of ancient texts and dark magic burial objects stored in the pyramids?"

As he spoke, Mu En took out a large wand from his left arm. He caressed the Raven Skull at the tip.

"This old friend is a powerful wand from Ancient Egypt."

Hearing this, Harry felt goosebumps rise all over his body. He had never known this wand had such an origin.

Was this... dug up from a grave?!

Mu En clearly guessed what Harry was thinking and gave a smile that implied Harry didn't appreciate its value. He then pointed the wand at Harry, displaying its properties:

"Standard spellcasting effectiveness 150%, desire-based spellcasting effectiveness doubled, malevolent intent spellcasting effectiveness tripled."

After speaking, Mu En shook his head and sighed, "If Voldemort saw this wand, he'd probably be so happy he'd fly.

Just letting him touch it would be enough to make Slytherin's tombstone smoke."

Harry was astonished, finding it hard to believe, "This wand... is it really... that powerful?!"

"Of course!"

Harry's head was lightly tapped by the wand.

"But you must remember, whether it's a wand or a magic ring. They are always subordinate to the wizard. Of course, we can pursue more powerful casting implements, magical equipment, and even potent potions," Mu En said solemnly.

"But what truly allows a wizard to stand firm is always this!"

Saying that, he tapped his head.

"I know," Harry said, rubbing his head and nodding quickly.

Mu En stood up and waved his hand. "Come with me."

"Uncle Mu En, Germanic magic..." Harry said as he stood up.

"No need. You explained the first two points quite clearly.

As for Germanic magic, it relies on runes. It's a magic system born from the frequent wars in the Germanic regions.

Enchanting longswords and armor, various combat buffs and equipment, as well as potion and herbology studies are its strongest aspects."

Harry nodded, then thought for a moment before suddenly saying, "And the study of Magical Creatures!

Magical Creatures started as a branch of Potion-making, and later became its own subject!"

Mu En was a little surprised that Harry had actually added to his explanation.

He wasn't the type to stubbornly deny his mistakes, and said with satisfaction, "You brat, I completely forgot about Magical Creatures, but you reminded me."

Harry smiled cheerfully and followed Mu En into the study.

"My studies are a mixture, so in the future, I won't teach you too many things that are exclusively mine," Mu En said.

Harry was suddenly a bit lost upon hearing this, "Then... I... ah..."

"I don't need you to become me, and you shouldn't become me," Mu En said, ignoring Harry's thoughts.

"Although the modern magic here is a bit extreme, with great pros and cons, it's indeed very suitable from a learning perspective.

So, before you build your own modern magic system, I won't teach you any extra spells, as that would be more detrimental than beneficial."

Harry finally understood what Uncle Mu En was trying to convey and let out a big sigh of relief, nodding repeatedly, "I will work hard."

Mu En nodded, "Of course, except for the spell I'm about to teach you."

Harry's eyes lit up with anticipation at this.

It was a spell that Uncle Mu En had praised as "spanning a wizard's entire life."
