"I bought some of Uagadou's old textbooks on the market, then personally optimized them and stripped out the unnecessary superstitious parts. This new, unique method of casting spells with one's fingers can't reach the level of our traditional European wandless techniques, but relatively speaking, it's much easier to learn, and its casting speed falls somewhere between Uagadou's and our traditional techniques..." Faced with a question from the professor he respected most, Allen's tone turned respectful. "For most wizards, a wizard who hasn't mastered wandless casting becomes practically a Muggle once he loses his wand. And while our traditional wandless techniques are swift, they're far too difficult to practice. But this different method is easy for young wizards to grasp. If they master one more casting technique like this, and students practice casting each spell in two ways as they learn it, it will be even more beneficial for improving their strength. We wizards shouldn't rely too much on a particular vessel. That isn't a good habit."
"The wand is a European invention. African witches and wizards only began treating wands as useful tools last century, so in Uagadou, many charms are cast with fingers or gestures. Therefore, just as the Daily Prophet reported last year, when Uagadou students were accused of violating the International Statute of Secrecy, they would all use excuses like, 'I only waved my hand, I never meant to dislocate his jaw'... Still, after you optimized it and removed many unnecessary gestures, its practical value has indeed greatly increased..." Professor Flitwick closed the materials in his hand, then raised his voice slightly and said, "Also, Allen, you haven't forgotten, have you? Next term is the International Wizarding Duelling Tournament you signed up for. Remember to prepare for your duels in advance... All right, now I'm not worried
