The Five-Wizard Tournament truly was an interesting occasion. Thanks to this rare research opportunity, Wizet had finally come into genuine contact with the field of "Consensus Magic."
He was undoubtedly fortunate to be able to study such an extraordinary form of magic—"Consensus Magic"—in such an extraordinary place at the bottom of the lake.
Wizet thought of the first question he had heard from the bronze ring after becoming a Ravenclaw: I am within it yet know nothing of it; abandon it, and I shall surely perish.
"Consensus Magic" was so silent and unobtrusive, as gentle as air, as flowing water, as though its existence could not be perceived.
Yet "Consensus Magic" was also so powerful, as immense as a hurricane, as a tsunami, inspiring awe in anyone who encountered it.
For most types of magic Wizet knew, the more freely a wizard could cast them, the better they could bring out their effects.
In other words, such types of magic generally valued the wizard's own understanding and control. A wizard had to be like a hurricane or a tsunami to push their effects to the utmost limit.
"Consensus Magic" was very different; it placed greater emphasis on going with the flow.
If a wizard insisted on emphasizing their own understanding and control as they would when casting ordinary spells, they would be like a boulder in the desert, weathered away into grains of sand.
Thus, when casting "Consensus Magic," one first needed to determine what kind of consensus had gathered together to form this "Consensus Magic."
