Name: Ian Prince Class: Bloodline Sorcerer Magic Power: Level Seven (Explosive Leap in Progress) Skill: Enlightenment of Wisdom [This skill cannot be upgraded] Potions Mastery (Level Two) 23/200 Sectumsempra (Level One): 5/100 Fear Curse (Level One): 18/100 Inferi Control Charm (Level One): 2/100 Rune Mastery (Level One): 14/100 Killing Curse (Level One): 7/100 Lumos Charm (Level Two): 3/400 ...

The information displayed on the panel was as simple and intuitive as ever.

Apart from the string of spells Ian had learned either through self-study or from others, two changes had appeared on the panel. The first, and most obvious, was his Magic Power Level.

"My Magic Power Level actually rose three levels at once!"

Ian had fully experienced what it meant to possess power from legend.

Golden Apple.

This miraculous fruit, mentioned in Ancient Greek mythology and certain fairy tales, actually possessed the powerful effect of directly raising a wizard's Magic Power Level!

Level Seven Magic Power!

A leap of three whole levels!

And this was not even the limit of what the Golden Apple had bestowed upon him!

"Explosive Leap in Progress..."

No matter how he looked at it, the suffix on the system panel indicated that the Golden Apple's effect on his Magic Power had yet to finish raising Ian's Magic Power Level.

As for how much higher it could go, that was impossible to tell for now. Perhaps one more level, perhaps two. No matter what, it was an unimaginable benefit.

After all.

Most Young Wizards only gained some increase in Magic Power as they aged after their first magical outburst. Aside from the Elder Wand, which most people regarded as a legend and only a few knew was in someone's possession, the Wizarding World had almost never heard of anything capable of increasing a wizard's Magic Power.

Even the powerful and incredible Philosopher's Stone could not increase its user's Magic Power. It could be said that a wizard's innate Magic Power Level almost determined that wizard's future.

In such an environment.

Ian truly Didn't Expect that the so-called Golden Apple possessed such a peculiar effect, capable of changing that "fate determined by heaven."

"No wonder it can be used as the main ingredient in brewing a potion that reverses life and death!"

He somewhat understood why Golden Apples had gone extinct.

Even if Teacher Mara had not cut down the last Golden Apple Tree, such a treasure would surely have vanished from later generations. Well, perhaps it had gone extinct, or perhaps something else had happened.

"Pandora really gave me an incredible gift. The next time I return to the Misty Illusion, I should prepare a return gift he might like."

Ian sincerely felt grateful toward his friend from the Misty Illusion. He picked up the wand placed by his bedside and could sense the existence of his Magic Power more clearly than before.

"Fire..."

Ian had just wanted to test how much power his current Magic Power possessed when he suddenly realized he was inside a wooden house.

Even the bed he slept on was made of wood.

Wizards in the Wizarding World probably did not know much about Fireproof Paint, did they?

"Close call!" After swallowing the Golden Apple, Ian's thoughts had become incomparably clear. This was likely the ability brought by the skill Enlightenment of Wisdom.

It was the only skill Ian had ever seen that could not be leveled up. Also bestowed by the Golden Apple, its effect was to grant Ian a constant state of rationality.

Yes.

It did not grant Ian Extraordinary Wisdom.

It merely allowed Ian to make better use of the intelligence he already possessed. In most situations, he would not be affected by Negative Emotions, and it could significantly improve the efficiency of all kinds of learning.

Perhaps it could be considered a lesser version of Ravenclaw's Diadem. As a Passive Ability granted by a Golden Apple, this skill was equally astonishing in its effect.

"Lumos!"

Ian switched to his most commonly used spell.

The next moment.

As Magic Power surged in like a torrent, a Light Source lit up at the tip of his wand. The edge of the light silently spread outward, and the entire quiet wooden house was instantly illuminated brightly.

Brilliant Light.

It was far more magnificent than the light that had previously only been able to illuminate one room.

"No, I have to test a powerful spell!"

Ian's heart surged with excitement at this enormous improvement. In the middle of the night, wearing only his underwear, he leaped out of bed, slipped on his homemade Flip-flops, and dashed out of the Small Wooden House with a clatter.

The Night Curtain hung low.

Beneath the stars, everything was silent.

Ian gripped his wand and aimed it at the open ground.

"Incendio!"

This was the only legal Offensive Spell Ian currently had command of.

As he used the incantation to connect the Magic Circuit of the spell, a burst of explosive sound rang out, and a strand of blazing fire surged from the tip of his wand like a tide.

"Not enough!"

Ian felt utterly at ease. He increased the Magic Power Output through the Magic Circuit. Then, tongues of fire danced through the night like a raging fire dragon.

The firelight shone upon Ian's face, and his expression was fervent with excitement.

"The Magic Circuit limits the Magic Power Output. But if I slightly alter the structure of the circuit and add several more passages through which Magic Power can flow..."

After his explosive increase in Magic Power, Ian could now clearly sense that the Magic Circuit of Incendio had a Passage Upper Limit for Magic Power Output.

Riding his current excitement and exhilaration, aided by his clear-headed state, Ian cautiously began trying to add Magic Power Passages to Incendio's Magic Circuit.

"I can't allow the framework of the spell to be affected in the slightest. Otherwise, the Magic Power will only collapse." After several attempts, the tip of Ian's wand merely Spurted Out several streams of firelight as though it were vomiting.

He seemed to gain some insight.

"As soon as a passage is established, the framework of the spell will inevitably be damaged. This seems like an unsolvable problem..." Ian tried again, but still gained only failure.

The firelight "vomited" for a little longer this time. It might have looked decent if treated as Fireworks, but that was clearly not the effect Ian wanted.

"Perhaps..."

Ian gripped his wand as his mind raced wildly.

"I shouldn't be trying to add Magic Power Passages to the spell's initial circuit."

"Perhaps the moment just before Incendio's Magic Circuit is complete is the most stable, yet fleeting, opportunity!"

Sudden Realization!

Ian raised his wand once more.

"Incendio!"

With the aid of the incantation, the Magic Circuit was steadily constructed.

And just as the spell was about to take shape.

"Now!"

Ian Seized the possibility he had glimpsed.

"Hiss!"

The flame, which had originally only resembled a long snake, suddenly became as if it had been Poured On with gasoline after its Magic Power Passage expanded. Surging firelight was Nurtured at the tip of the Elder Wood wand.

"Rumble!"

It was practically an explosion!

Towering flames lit up the entire field and swept violently in all directions—scorching heatwaves that seemed ready to devour everything around them completely!

"Oh No!"

Ian had completely Didn't Expect such terrifying power.

He could not help but panic.

The Giant Wave of flames roiled fiercely. The fences, Trees, and the Small Wooden House Snape had Arranged for Ian all seemed about to Turn to Ashes in the blaze.

"Done for!"

Just as Ian searched through his Little Head and could only think of summoning a Group of Corpses to Carry Water and Extinguish Fire.

"Utterly brilliant, overwhelmingly Pleasing to the Eye, this truly is..." An aged voice Sounded with Full of amazement as an old man in a White Robe Walked Over from the cobblestone path.

"Hall-level creativity."

He gently waved the ancient wand in his hand.

And so.

It was as though everything happening at that moment had been forcibly paused.

The scorching heat, the flames, the burning earth and house.

Everything.

Came to an Abrupt Halt.

Thank you for yesterday's tips. Typing hard!
