Another two weeks passed.
Cypher also broke the seal on himself.
Just like the Icy Soul Hammer, which he previously needed to charge before casting, he could now cast it directly!
It could be said that Cypher's combat strength had greatly improved.
In these turbulent times, he had gained a little more confidence in his ability to protect himself.
But learning had no end. Standing still meant falling behind, and on the battlefield, enemies would not show mercy.
It was the weekend.
By a small stream on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest.
Cypher was using the Imperius Curse to control a group of toads, making them tap-dance in rhythm atop a stone slab.
Since he was not controlling just one or two, but an entire team.
Cypher had to expend a great deal of focus to make every toad move in sync.
As the toads' movements grew faster and faster, beads of sweat began rolling down Cypher's cheeks.
When practicing the Imperius Curse, the more fiercely the target resisted, the more the caster's magical control could be trained.
Of course, that applied when using the Imperius Curse on a single individual.
Toads did not possess much intelligence.
Even if they resisted... how could creatures without logical thought resist?
With no other choice, Cypher had to choose quantity over quality for his control training.

Without the clash of minds.
This method naturally progressed more slowly and was almost more trouble than it was worth.
But Cypher had abundant magic, the formidable stamina of someone who had lived two lives, and Luna's stamina potions.
Every day brought visible gains. He could also take the opportunity to familiarize himself with multitasking.
After all, he could not exactly run into Muggle
