Concept

Although he had run into some difficulties at first, Eli refused to believe that he could not master a few spells.

For several days, he shut himself in his room.

Aside from the waiter delivering meals on time, Eli barely left his room.

"Lumos!"

At last, his wand lit up with a steady, gentle glow.

Delighted, Eli tried increasing his magical output, and the glow slowly brightened.

Eli suppressed the urge to cheer and waved his wand, extinguishing the light.

He had succeeded!

Of course, he was not this excited simply because he had mastered a spell. It was because he could finally control his magic properly!

The Lighting Charm itself was an extremely simple spell, one that Eli did not need to deliberately practice.

His magic was enough to support him in casting many spells.

In other words, while many young Wizards were still learning how to release magic and cast spells,

he might be able to cast a spell successfully just by reciting the incantation.

But magic had brought him success, and magic had brought him trouble.

The greatest difficulty he currently faced came from his absurdly powerful magic.

Magic was actually a very scientific thing.

It sounded strange, but that was the truth.

To cast a spell successfully rather than merely trigger it, one needed to truly understand its structure.

In other words, magic was merely the foundation for casting spells. To control a spell, one also needed to use one's brain.

Magic was highly dependent on the mind.

Eli's exploration over the past few days had confirmed this as well.

At first, he had only wanted to cast the Lighting Charm.

Instinctively, he thought: recite an incantation, then make light.

The result was just as he had imagined. His magic poured out uncontrollably, causing the spell to go out of control.

It had nearly blinded both him and Mr. Tom.

But while practicing, he had constantly thought about casting a Lighting Charm steadily.

The facts proved that the stronger his intent was, the more his spells conformed to his wishes.

In the end, he could even freely control the amount of magic he released.

This was indeed something worth celebrating.

It was also his greatest gain over the past few days. With such a foundation, he would find it much easier to learn other spells in the future.

Back to magic.

The amount and strength of one's magic said a great deal about a Wizard's talent.

To cast a large-scale spell, one needed an enormous amount of magic to support it.

The same spell, driven by different amounts of magic, would produce different effects.

Yet even today, Wizards had not found a way to accelerate magical growth.

A Wizard's magic could only grow with age.

Eli found that a little hard to accept.

Had Wizards never invented any cultivation techniques?

Look at China in his previous life. In novels, all cultivators could rely on cultivation techniques to accelerate their growth.

Was there not even some sort of meditation method?

Eli had indeed tried quite a few so-called meditation methods.

They had been completely useless.

That was normal, too. Wizards were not fools. Anything Eli could think of had probably been tested by Wizards long ago.

Eli could only give up on searching for a way to increase his magic.

However, one thing was certain: during one's growth, releasing large amounts of magic could indeed stimulate magical growth.

It was crude, but it was the only method.

But the problem he faced now was not having too little magic.

It was having too much magic and being unable to control it well.

Young Wizards all experienced magical outbursts. This was actually because children were too immature to restrain the magic within their bodies.

And according to Voldemort's memories, the soul was the key to controlling magic.

The more powerful a Wizard was, the stronger his soul had to be.

Thanks to the soul fragments of Harry Potter and Voldemort, Eli's soul far surpassed that of ordinary people.

But likewise, his magic also far surpassed that of ordinary people.

His current magical reserves might not be much lower than those of the academy professors!

This was a burden on his soul.

So, although he had not suffered a magical outburst, he still had trouble controlling his spells.

If the growth of his soul could not keep up with the growth of his magic in the future, he might be in danger.

A magical outburst could easily destroy the body.

This could also be considered a hidden danger.

Fortunately, Voldemort's memories contained some methods for cultivating the soul, and Eli planned to try them later.

It had to be said that when it came to research into souls, Voldemort stood unmatched in the world.

Even Dumbledore could not compare.

This was a good thing for Eli.

So, Eli now had several tasks.

Study Voldemort's memories and find ways to strengthen his soul.

Train hard to control his magic and improve his control over spells.

There was one more task, one that concerned the foundation of Eli's future development.

That was making money!

Not pounds, but Wizarding World Galleons.

China had summarized the four essentials of cultivation: wealth, companions, techniques, and location.

The same applied to magic.

Without money, he would not have the funds to support magical experiments that consumed materials.

If he wanted to take some potions, that would cost money too, would it not?

Speaking of potions, that was exactly the path Eli had thought of for making money!

Over the past few days, he had visited potion shops.

It counted as market research, more or less.

And he discovered the greatest problem with the Wizarding World's potion market.

That was that every potion currently on the market relied entirely on potion makers to prepare it by hand.

This left the potion market severely undersupplied, and potion prices extremely high.

They said potion makers were filthy rich, and that was absolutely true!

To Eli, this was a business opportunity!

Coming from the Muggle world, he had plenty of ways to solve production problems.

What if the supply of potions was insufficient?

When it came to mass production, one had to mention the assembly line!

It was the ultimate tool of commodity production in the Muggle world.

Assembly lines could not only greatly increase production speed, but also solve problems of technical difficulty.

To make a potion from start to finish required a potion maker.

Naturally, he could not hire potion makers.

But if the potion-making process were divided into individual steps,

then each workstation might only need to chop ingredients or add them in the proper proportions.

That would perfectly solve the technical problem.

Moreover, if he opened a potion assembly-line factory in the Wizarding World, he might not even need to hire assembly-line workers.

When in doubt, use magic!

Would it not be enough to use magic to create a few puppets capable of performing simple, repetitive tasks?

In the Muggle world, that was called fully automated mechanical production.

Just imagine it: once his potion factory was established and vast quantities of potions continuously entered the market,

he could dominate the potion industry in a short time!

You needed potions when you were sick, right? You needed potions when you were injured, right? Magical experiments might consume potions too, right?

As long as he controlled the potion market, he would possess tremendous influence!

Of course, these were still only ideas.

Magical puppets might involve alchemy and Transfiguration, and he would also need to grow stronger to protect his business.

So, the road ahead was long and difficult!

Knowledge was power!
