Power Progression

Chapter	Development
3	Regulus demonstrates exceptional early Magic Power control, manipulating its flow with fine precision rather than simply releasing it in bursts. 3
9	Regulus’s Magic Guidance Cycle steadily expands his capacity, improves control precision, and accelerates natural recovery; repeated practice makes circulation along established pathways increasingly automatic. 9
19	Professor Flitwick explains that the Levitation Charm uses Magic Power to repel gravity and evenly wrap an object, while leaving its mass intact. 19
26	Regulus integrates bodily Magic Power circulation with the movement of his mental star model, creating Star-track Guidance Meditation and making his power more condensed and obedient. 26
50	Star-track Guidance Meditation becomes instinctive, linking Magic Power with Regulus’s body, spirit, and will while continuously refining his physical and mental foundations. 50
59	Regulus begins working with inherited Natural Magic Power, learning to resonate with the magic of plants and blend differing magical attributes. 59
84	Regulus strengthens and stabilizes a Shield Charm through starry-sky imagery, demonstrating that Magic Power can resonate with rational concepts as well as emotion; the enhanced spell consumes about fifteen percent more energy. 84
86	Star-track Guidance Meditation steadily circulates Magic Power through Regulus’s four-star system, tempering his body and spirit while incrementally increasing his total reserves. 86
201	Regulus further considers Magic Power as a living partner that should be guided and allowed to act naturally rather than opposed through force. 201
303	Regulus permits gray polluted magic to enter his Main Consciousness, changing the texture of his Magic Power. 303
319	The gray matter of Dark Enlightenment adheres to Regulus’s Magic Power and noticeably increases its power during his duel with Bellatrix Lestrange. 319
337	Regulus extracts and replicates the Whomping Willow’s oscillating Magic Power, producing a Basic Oscillation model that becomes the foundation of his Disintegration Charm. 337 338
442	Regulus uses the image of Betelgeuse to deliberately alter his normally calm, precise Magic Power into a scorching, restless, aggressive texture for an alternate identity. 443
488	Prolonged use of Geralt’s Betelgeuse-based Magic Power texture leaves Regulus with lingering emotional and behavioral inertia even after he restores his usual restrained magical state. 489
490	Regulus identifies Magic Power signatures as individually distinctive patterns of texture, density, fluctuation frequency, and core structure, then plans a Resonance Disk capable of detecting and identifying them. 491
540	Regulus demonstrates immense Magic Power output and control by using the Disintegration Charm to destroy Rowle Manor and its multilayered defenses. 541
541	Saiph’s illumination transforms Regulus’s Magic Perception, allowing him to discern Magic Power flow, density distribution, fine interactions, and emotional fluctuations in far greater detail. 542
543	Saiph’s parallel processing allows Regulus to switch spell types, adjust output, and calculate trajectories continuously without the brief pauses previously needed to readjust his Magic Power. 543
547	After repeated high-output spells and extended combat, Regulus’s reserves fall faster than Star Orbit Meditation can replenish them. 548
548	A wound inflicted by the Black Mist continuously erodes Regulus’s Magic Power; the Black Wand halts the erosion but reveals its dangerous tendency to consume dark energy and his own power. 549
578	Acting as Geralt, Regulus reproduces Giant-like Magic Power and synchronizes it with his muscles, tendons, bones, and blood flow, temporarily increasing strength, resilience, and force transmission. 578
579	Regulus extends bodily synchronization throughout his right arm and fuses Betelgeuse’s explosive power with Bellatrix’s protection into a unified dark-purple sword by removing their boundary with Saiph and his will. 579
581	Regulus channels immense power into his fused sword during the final battle with Hilder, but Dumbledore effortlessly suppresses its dark-purple energy before the decisive collision. 581
584	Dumbledore explains that Regulus’s temporary bodily infusion imitates, rather than reproduces, Giants’ natural integration of Magic Power and flesh; Regulus also uses Star Orbit Meditation to settle his post-battle magical and mental agitation. 584
589	Regulus observes newborn Nymphadora’s primal Magic Power surging chaotically alongside her Metamorphmagus transformations, with Bellatrix’s Guardian Mark remaining quiet at its center. 589

Nature

Magic Power is the force through which a wizard’s will acts upon the world. In Regulus Black’s formulation, the wizard is the subject, magic is the tool, and the world is the object. 65

• It is not inherently aligned with good or evil; before a wizard uses it, Magic Power has “no color, no stance, no good or evil.” 325
• Its behavior can reflect the caster’s state: Regulus’s Magic Power is precise and stable during calculation, but lively and joyful when he is emotionally moved. 65
• Magic Power and emotion influence one another reciprocally. Emotional changes can agitate Magic Power, while a sustained magical texture can shape the caster’s emotions and habits in return. 489
• Magic Power can carry a caster’s will, direction, and intent rather than being merely uncontrolled energy. 447
• Magic is described as chaotic before it is directed by a wizard; classifications such as Light Magic and Dark Arts arise from the purpose for which a wizard uses it. 325
• Dark Arts are comparatively easy to invoke when a caster has sufficient Magic Power, but their use may exact a cost in reason or emotional stability. 129
• Magic Power can be polluted or altered in texture. After admitting gray polluted magic into his Main Consciousness, Regulus physically senses a change in his own Magic Power. 303
• Long-term contact with particular forms of magic can in turn influence the wizard, including their temperament and habitual responses. 194
• A wizard’s innate magic begins as chaotic, unformed potential that can be shaped into many different applications, unlike the comparatively fixed magical inclinations of many magical creatures. 261 287
• Healthy young wizards naturally develop more stable, obedient Magic Power as they grow. This maturation can make previously difficult spells easier without necessarily reflecting intensive practice or exceptional talent. 209 211
• Many healthy adult wizards gradually gain stronger Magic Power with age, but reserves alone do not establish their actual strength; spellcasting, understanding, experience, and responses to unexpected situations remain essential. 193
• Nymphadora’s Magic Power is already active before birth. During the final stage of delivery, its chaotic fluctuations become intertwined with her innate Metamorphmagus transformations. 589

Spellcasting and Control

Spells function as structured applications of Magic Power. Regulus initially understands them as “code,” with gestures serving as guidance and magical effects as output. 74

• Output — Total Magic Power determines the scale of a spell’s strike. 353
• Precision — The quality and control precision of Magic Power determine whether advanced spells can achieve their intended effects. 339 353
• Will and cognition — A caster’s intent and Cognitive Convergence determine what can be treated as a target by the Disintegration Charm. 353
• Emotion — Certain magic, especially the Patronus Charm, cannot be produced through technical understanding alone; it requires sincere emotion and protective desire. 74
• Wand use — Magic Power may flow through a wand for structured spellcasting, though Regulus can cast the Spatial Warp Charm without one. 119
• Wand amplification — Wands act as Magic Power amplifiers, making spellcasting stronger, easier, safer, and more effective at range than direct magical combat. 173
• Levitation — The Levitation Charm does not remove an object’s mass. Instead, Magic Power repels gravity and envelops the target in a distributed magical support. 19
• Sustained casting — Continuous spells require an ongoing supply of Magic Power; the Constant Shield Charm demands that its caster continuously maintain a thin, body-attached magical film. 263
• Stored spells — Maintaining a Spatial Network and preserving spells inside it continuously consumes Magic Power and concentration; the burden increases with both storage duration and the number of spells held. 209
• Mental state — Mental strength, emotional control, and willpower underpin advanced control, spell enhancement, resistance to interference, and prolonged magical combat. 197 369
• Perception — Advanced combatants can read the nature and direction of an opponent’s forming magic through Magic Perception, making control ability a decisive foundation for dueling. 409
• Signature recognition — Magic Power can be analyzed through its texture, density distribution, fluctuation frequency, and core structure. Regulus’s Resonance Disk concept converts such patterns into visible signals and could eventually identify known sources through signature matching. 490 491
• Conceptual resonance — Rational imagery can alter a spell’s qualities without relying solely on intense emotion. Starry-sky imagery makes Regulus’s Shield Charm stronger and more stable, while supernova imagery produces a destructive white-hot fire spell at three times the normal Magic Power cost. 84 86
• Internal models — A replicated Magic Power structure can be linked to an incantation and gesture, allowing the caster to produce its finished effect without manually rebuilding or modulating the structure each time. 165 338
• Spell transitions — Preparing the next flow of Magic Power before the current spell ends reduces gaps between effects. Regulus applies this principle to his combined movement charms. 112 115
• Direct combat — Highly condensed Magic Power or spell effects can be attached to the limbs and released through close-range strikes, although this demands exceptional control of both power and body. 173
• Changing properties — Making Magic Power move and changing what it is are distinct operations. Regulus’s imitation of Giant Magic Power requires altering its nature, not merely directing an existing flow. 578
• Bodily synchronization — Infusing tissue with Magic Power does not automatically increase strength. The power must contract, bear loads, and move in the same rhythm as the body to participate in physical force. 578
• Fusion — Different magical powers can initially repel one another yet be integrated by changing the boundary between them. Regulus combines Betelgeuse’s explosive power and Bellatrix’s protection through Saiph’s cutting ability and mental will. 579

Regulus Black's Control

Regulus demonstrates unusually fine control over Magic Power from childhood. He can direct its flow with microscopic precision through calculation rather than relying solely on emotion. 3

• His mind models magical flow across multiple dimensions, adjusts its direction, and regulates output frequency. 3
• He can use controlled output to levitate earthworms and arrange them into a stable hexagon. 3
• He can make multiple feathers trace precise circles with trajectory errors below one millimeter, create intricate ripples on water, and sustain those patterns without dispersal. 9
• By circulating Magic Power through his body, he can accelerate its natural recovery after intensive training. 9
• He refines spellcasting by adjusting incantations, gestures, output details, and environmental imitation; this enables his Improved Disillusionment Charm to reproduce surrounding light and shadow patterns. 35
• Star-track Guidance Meditation improves the fluidity of his Magic Power and reduces fatigue, though Regulus expects its early explosive gains to eventually slow. 36
• Within Star Orbit Meditation, his Magic Power circulates along the star tracks; each completed cycle mildly tempers his body and strengthens his spirit while increasing his reserves. 86
• He teaches Alex to develop control through Lumos, varying its brightness across ten levels and holding each level for three seconds. 129
• His precision lets him form numerous miniature Shield Charms around himself almost instantaneously, intercepting attacks from several directions during his duel with Orion. 53
• Regulus can consciously suppress his own heavy Magic Fluctuation to avoid disrupting Sirius’s Apparition. 356
• His magical structures can form first within his Consciousness Space, allowing him to rehearse a spell’s release before visibly casting it. 393
• After Saiph shines, his Magic Perception reaches beneath superficial magical fluctuations and distinguishes individual flows, density distributions, interactions, and emotional states within nearby Magic Power. 542
• His early Magic Guidance Cycle gradually establishes pathways that Magic Power follows naturally, reducing the need for deliberate visualization. 9
• Synchronizing the bodily cycle with his mental star model makes Magic Power more condensed and obedient while integrating the development of body, mind, and power. 26
• By the end of his first school term, circulation has become instinctive. Magic Power continually nourishes his body, subtly strengthening bone density and muscle fibers as part of Star-track Guidance Meditation. 50
• His Improved Disillusionment Charm includes a fine inner layer that neutralizes faint thermal radiation and surface magical ripples, reducing his presence under conventional detection. 35
• He directs Hermes, Avery, and Alex toward foundational wandless Magic Manipulation, beginning with control over the direction and intensity of power released through the fingertips. 369
• Saiph’s parallel processing lets him automatically handle spell selection, power adjustment, and trajectory calculations while maintaining rapid-fire casting. 543
• Against Hilder, he divides his mind into five independently functioning sections for observation, prediction, force calculation and execution, condition monitoring, and central attack decisions. This permits precisely timed Crimson Blasts that compensate for the giant’s physical advantage. 578 579
• He reproduces a heavy, earthy-yellow magical texture and synchronizes it first with his hand, then his forearm, and finally his entire right arm. His enhanced punches shatter granite and break through a large rock without injuring his hand. 578 579
• He carefully withdraws the infused power after each experiment, monitoring for residue, damage, or irreversible sluggishness rather than assuming the method is safe for permanent use. 578
• He can use Star Orbit Meditation to calm unusually active Magic Power and restore mental clarity after intense combat. 584

Attributes and Variants

Natural Magic Power

Natural Magic Power possesses attributes, trajectories, and a living temperament. It must be guided through resonance rather than forcibly extracted. 59

• Wind-like power flows around obstacles, while water-like power follows gullies. 59
• Eldrin’s inherited Natural Magic provides trajectories of magical flow, methods of resonating with nature, and ancestral insights rather than a simple spell list. 59
• Regulus cannot directly see its flow as Eldrin could, but he can perceive a plant’s emotions and condition. 59
• He practices manipulating the Natural Magic Power of Dittany and Thorn Flowers, then mixes differing attributes with his own Magic Power for stronger effects. 59
• Natural Magic Power is also present throughout the Forbidden Forest’s soil, air, plants, and stones; this environmental magic has no individual owner. 261
• Magical plants possess distinct Life Magic Power signatures that can communicate basic states such as pain or distress to sufficiently sensitive perception. 23
• Once the Whomping Willow recognizes Regulus’s Magic Power as harmless, he can blend his Natural Magic Power with its circulation and guide its own Magic Power through its roots and branches without forcing it. 337
• The Whomping Willow’s extracted Magic Power displays active, high-frequency vibrations and an internally ordered instability that causes Regulus’s own Magic Power to reflexively resist it. 337
• Regulus’s early attempt to transfer power from a healthy daisy to an injured one succeeds inefficiently. Eldrin’s methods reveal that establishing a channel and guiding the flow is more effective than simply moving power between plants. 24 59
• Plant magic has characteristic inclinations, including Dittany’s healing, Poison Tentacle’s paralysis, Devil’s Snare’s predation, and the Whomping Willow’s physical effects. Understanding these tendencies improves guidance and utilization. 120
• Directly guiding plant power can bypass the processing normally used in potion-making, but Regulus’s early extraction is inefficient: an entire Dittany plant provides only enough power to heal a tiny cut. 60
• Eldrin’s inheritance points toward much larger applications involving forests, rivers, storms, and lightning, rather than only individual plants. 60
• Excessive siphoning is dangerous. Orion states that Eldrin died after drawing too much Natural Magic Power and being overwhelmed by it. 55

Polluted Magic Power

Gray, polluted magic is associated with Dark Magic and a dominating quality. 303

• When exposed to Regulus’s six Mental Layer stars, Betelgeuse repels it, Bellatrix stops it, the Belt Stars form a closed loop around it, and Saiph shows no change. 303
• Regulus chooses to retain the polluted magic temporarily rather than immediately purging it. 303
• During the duel with Bellatrix Lestrange, gray matter from Dark Enlightenment adheres to Regulus’s Magic Power, substantially increasing its force. 319
• Regulus can condense gray Magic Power into a solid mass capable of deflecting incoming Dark Arts spells. 319
• Gray Matter can enhance Regulus’s attacks against dark entities, producing a corrosive consumption effect against Old Rowle’s Black Mist. 549
• His later reflections reject a strict inherent opposition between light and dark; their separation is presented as an artificial structure rather than a property of Magic Power itself. 325
• The admitted gray substance remains outside the Star Orbit and inside the Mental Barrier, adhering to the outer surface of his circulation rather than reaching his protected Soul Avatar. 303
• Its addition makes his outward power heavier, thicker, and more oppressive without reducing spellcasting speed or precision. A small flame cast from his fingertip acquires a faint gray ring at its base. 303
• After Regulus cuts off its source, the surface pollution can dissipate naturally over several hours or be actively cleared away. 303
• Bellatrix’s boundary protects his independent identity through the definition of self rather than by competing with Voldemort’s power in raw strength. The Belt Stars’ ordered loop supplies a further barrier against the gray substance’s chaos. 303

Magic Power Texture and Concealment

Magic Power possesses a recognizable texture that skilled witches and wizards can perceive. It can be contained, allowed to leak, or deliberately altered in temperature, temperament, and outward impression. 443 447

• Regulus’s usual Magic Power is calm, restrained, precise, and compressed within his body, with little unnecessary fluctuation or overflow. 443
• This natural texture is identifiable enough that Regulus considers it an operational liability while acting under a false identity. 443
• By invoking Betelgeuse’s imagery, he changes his Magic Power into an outward-flowing, scorching, aggressive, and restless presence suited to close-range suppression. 443
• Deliberately projected magical pressure differs from ordinary leakage: uncontrolled leakage is shapeless loss of Magic Power, whereas Regulus’s altered aura remains directed by will. 443 447
• The altered aura is powerful enough that experienced tavern patrons react with caution and fear upon sensing it. 445
• Magic Power may be restrained to conceal one’s presence or reduce interference with another caster’s magic. 356
• Maintaining Geralt’s Betelgeuse-derived magical texture for an extended period leaves an emotional aftereffect even after Regulus returns to his normal restrained state. 489
• A Magic Power signature comprises its texture, density distribution, fluctuation frequency, and core structure. Such signatures are sufficiently distinctive that Regulus compares them to fingerprints. 491
• Even at rest, wizards normally emit faint magical fluctuations. Regulus’s everyday leakage is extremely small but not zero, allowing his preliminary Resonance Disk to register a blurred light response. 489
• Sufficiently skilled wizards can suppress leakage below an instrument’s detection threshold, while advanced alchemical items can shield or weaken Magic Power radiation. 490
• Dumbledore’s Magic Power appears deep, gentle, substantial, and directional, with immense energy beneath a smooth surface. Voldemort’s presence instead produces no readable feedback under Regulus’s conventional Magic Perception. 446 546
• Professor Binns’s Magic Power is nearly nonexistent or nearly impossible for Regulus to perceive, contrasting with the distinct impressions given by living professors. 22
• Uncontrolled leakage can compromise concealment. Sirius’s Disillusionment Charm breaks as his Magic Power spills outward while he prepares to attack. 594

Giant Magic Power

Giant Magic Power is heavy, dense, and closely integrated with the body, contrasting with the flexible, highly malleable power of wizards. Regulus studies this distinction through his battles with Hilder. 578

• In Hilder’s body, power dispersed between muscle fibers synchronizes with their contraction at the instant force is exerted, allowing magic and flesh to produce physical output together. 578 579
• Magic Power can move from the body toward the skin and into armor to reinforce its protection. This active reinforcement increases the strength and clarity of the magical signals Regulus can detect. 579
• Hilder channels Magic Power through his boot into the ground, producing a tremor that disrupts Geralt’s footing and breaks his Sprint Charm. 571
• His later connection with the earth becomes actively synchronized with movement. The ground adjusts to support acceleration, turning, and attacks, and he gathers the earth’s power into his axe for a final strike. 581
• Regulus imitates the texture through imagery of compressed rock layers and immense gravitational weight, producing an earthy-yellow form of Magic Power. 578
• Dumbledore explains that Giants grow with body and Magic Power developing together. A wizard’s starting condition contains a natural separation between them, so temporary infusion does not reproduce a Giant’s innate foundation. 584
• Dumbledore’s reference to Baruk’s successful modifications leads Regulus to consider whether a transplantable magical module could provide a different route to bodily integration; this remains an interpretation rather than a completed self-modification. 584

Magical Structures in Creatures

Magical creatures possess internal structures and circuits that govern how their power circulates and which abilities it supports. Their specialization can make individual traits efficient while restricting the directions in which their magic naturally develops. 261 287 346

• Baruk’s Acromantula structure initially has narrow circuits and inefficient circulation, with much of its power depleted during a single passage through the body. Closer examination reveals independent branches for venom and silk glands and eight parallel visual lines. 261 347
• Regulus proposes loosening this structure with the Severing Charm, introducing environmental Natural Magic Power, and guiding reorganization to widen its pathways beyond racial limits. Without guidance, racial instinct would tend to restore the familiar structure. 261 287
• Some creatures possess multiple coordinated systems rather than one simple inclination. Fire Dragons have intersecting circuits supporting flame breath, hardened scales, flight lift, and heat tolerance. 346
• The Occamy’s size-changing ability involves Spatial Perception and real-time adjustment of its magical structure, while the Phoenix possesses layered, nested loops whose circuits support one another. 346
• Structural complexity is not identical to superiority in every specialized task. A comparatively simple Salamander structure is exceptionally effective for survival in flames. 346
• Regulus’s completed modifications of Baruk include Salamander Fire Affinity and Bowtruckle Plant Perception, demonstrating adaptation through extraction and replication of magical traits. 584

Magic Power and Matter

Nicolas Flamel confirms to Regulus that Magic Power can be converted into mass. Regulus infers that the reverse conversion—mass into Magic Power—should also be possible. 240 241

• Complete conversion of a sufficiently large amount of matter into Magic Power could, in theory, produce force capable of overturning Hogwarts. 241
• Regulus uses this principle as the basis for a proposed self-sustaining Disintegration Charm chain reaction. 342
• The proposed chain requires each layer’s released energy to exceed the loss incurred while transmitting the oscillation to the next layer. 355
• Realizing the theory requires verification of chain conduction, attainment of critical conditions, magic-to-mass conversion, and extremely precise Magic Power control. 342
• While Magic Power can act upon mass, ordinary Levitation Charm applications do not erase the target’s mass. 19
• Regulus’s proposed conversion point would consume the target’s mass and generate Magic Power to drive additional oscillations and fractures, making the reaction independent of a continuing supply from the caster once self-sustaining conditions were reached. 342
• He considers alchemy and the Philosopher’s Stone possible solutions to the conversion problem and the initial energy threshold, but acknowledges that he has not yet mastered the necessary conversion techniques. 342
• Introductory alchemy uses guided Magic Power circuits to alter properties such as hardness, toughness, and magical conductivity; its practical exercises do not provide the deeper principles of mass–Magic Power conversion that Regulus seeks. 485 488
• Extremely concentrated magical manifestations can disturb spatial structure. Old Rowle’s expanded Black Mist pulls local space into fractures and depressions, destroying the conditions needed for Apparition and disabling the Sidestep Charm. 546

Limits

• Magic Power reserves constrain the scale of a spell, even where the caster understands its principles. 353
• Maintaining Transfiguration consumes additional Magic Power as the altered space attempts to return to its original state. 268
• The Disintegration Charm requires Magic Power to converge from a surface into a point in less than one-hundredth of a second; failure causes a surface explosion rather than penetration. 339 352
• Most wizards lack the precision needed for this level of output shaping, as conventional spellcasting does not require conscious control over the form of Magic Power after it leaves the wand. 352
• A self-sustaining magical chain reaction may demand initial output beyond the limit of any individual wizard. 355
• Releasing Magic Power without direction or control produces a scattered, shapeless fog rather than a convincing or functional altered magical presence. 443
• Maintaining stored spells within a Spatial Network becomes increasingly costly as more spells are held or their storage time rises. 209
• Star Orbit Meditation cannot necessarily restore Magic Power as rapidly as Regulus expends it during sustained, high-intensity combat. 548
• Magic-inflicted injuries can directly erode a wizard’s reserves, as the Black Mist wound continuously drains Regulus’s Magic Power. 549
• The Black Wand can halt magical erosion and consume dark energy, but it also consumes Regulus’s own Magic Power and possesses a dangerous will-like nature. 549
• Sustained alteration of Magic Power texture can leave emotional and behavioral inertia after the altered state ends. 489
• Advanced Dark Arts may be technically easy to cast for a wizard with sufficient Magic Power, but repeated use can erode the caster’s reason, emotional stability, or sense of self. 129
• High-level magic depends on more than reserves and technique; inadequate mental strength, emotional control, or willpower limits a wizard’s ability to sustain and safely direct it. 197 369
• Deliberate manipulation of mental states to strengthen magic can cause madness, loss of natural spellcasting ability, or soul damage if mishandled. 84
• Natural Magic extraction can harm its source. Regulus’s experiments leave one Whomping Willow drained and half-dead, while excessive siphoning previously killed Eldrin. 55 337
• Magical perception is not universally reliable: Orion’s darkness suppresses its range and accuracy, and Voldemort’s presence cannot be read through Regulus’s conventional perception. 149 446
• Magical detection devices remain constrained by interference, circuit capacity, material conductivity, display resolution, and the target’s ability to suppress or shield emissions. 490 492
• Greater output cannot automatically overcome an environment’s will. Hogwarts permits certain technical spatial manipulations but rejects the foreign will supporting Regulus’s attempted Spatial Channel. 259 376
• Precise explosive compensation can counter a giant’s force, but sustained use exhausts Magic Power, stamina, and mental energy. Regulus’s initial predictive system prevents uncalculated impacts without allowing him to continue indefinitely. 578
• Simply filling muscles with Magic Power does not enhance them; synchronization is required, and its demonstrated benefits do not establish the safety or effectiveness of permanent integration. 578 579 584
• Regulus treats his bodily enhancement as experimental because he has not established whether it avoids the fatal risks associated with Arcturus I’s physical-enhancement path. 578
• A high-output magical attack can still be neutralized by superior mastery. Dumbledore suppresses Regulus’s fused sword attack with a light gesture, while Hrogar stops Hilder’s empowered axe with his bare hand. 581

Trivia

• Regulus regards Magic Power as something that can be approached through calculation and logic without reducing magic to a cold, lifeless mechanism. 65
• He seeks to combine physics’ certainty and scalability with magic’s flexibility and lack of fixed limits. 270
• The Disintegration Charm is a growth-type spell: its effect changes dramatically according to the caster’s Magical Power, perception, precision, and intent. 353
• Regulus’s view that Magic Power has life is echoed by both Albus Dumbledore and Horace Slughorn, who respectively describe conversing with magic and treating it as a partner. 201
• In high-level potion-making, a wizard’s own Magic Power and emotions can become part of the brewing process alongside the magical properties of ingredients. 201
• Regulus’s preliminary Resonance Disk converts captured Magic Power patterns into light, with line thickness, brightness, and color corresponding respectively to a pattern’s density, strength, and nature. 490
• After studying the Whomping Willow, Regulus distinguishes four sources or paths: death-aligned disintegration, life-aligned restoration, mind-aligned domination, and purely physical destruction through oscillation. 337
• He speculates about additional spatial, temporal, prophetic, and purely magical attributes, but does not establish them as a complete classification system. 337
• Regulus compares early Magic Capacity growth to deepening a well one scoop at a time and automatic circulation to a river finding its channel. 9
• Old Rowle replenishes his Magic Power by draining bodies. Consuming a corpse rapidly restores his reserves, contracts wounds, and strengthens his black shield. 541 543
• A later Fiendfyre blade strike leaves a line without residual heat, Dark Arts, or Magic Power, even erasing nearby background magic. Observers can infer the involvement of intent from the result without reconstructing Regulus’s method. 552
• Dumbledore notes that the unusually active Magic Power and mind Regulus displays after fighting are conditions many older wizards deliberately seek. 584
