Magic Array

It was 7:15 a. m., in the Headmaster's Office.

"Harry, today's lesson is a follow-up to the last one."

In the last lesson, you learned unique tactics for dealing with large, Care of Magical Creatures other than Phoenix and dragons.

"In this lesson, I'll explain its principles to you." Dumbledore paused. "You should know I'm very well-informed."

Harry nodded.

However, he didn't know how this had anything to do with what he was going to talk about today.

"So I've also heard your speculations, Draco, Ron's speculations."

That was in the Forbidden Forest (Harry's heart skipped a beat at first, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard about the Forbidden Forest), and you guessed that the person who killed the Unicorn was Voldemort.

And he recovered very well.

Because it easily killed the powerful Unicorn.

After all, the Unicorn's rating of XXXX (dangerous/requires specialized knowledge/skilled wizards to deal with) is only because of its Gwen.

However, you guessed wrong.

Voldemort had not recovered well at that time.

He simply employed advanced combat tactics targeting the magical powers of Care of Magical Creatures.

Almost all Care of Magical Creatures have too one-dimensional magic.

The wizard's magic is like a universal key.

No matter how strong the lock, a wizard can transform it into the corresponding key to unlock and destroy it!

Today is my class.

"It's to tell you how the 'locks' of Care of Magical Creatures were discovered." Dumbledore said, waving his wand.

Strands of silk appeared in mid-air, outlining a simple Magic Array.

"As I just said, Care of Magical Creatures don't have the same singular magic as wizards."

It is precisely because of this that some irregular magical patterns appeared in their bodies.

As an aside, there are no wizards.

Our magic is complex yet possesses a consistent quality.

This results in the absence of a single magical pattern within our bodies.

Instead, his entire body was filled with balanced magic.

The Magic Array in mid-air was broken apart. It changed from a two-dimensional shape to a three-dimensional shape. Then it transformed into irregular magical patterns.

"Historically, it was first recorded that an unknown Ancient Greece wizard-scholar discovered this."

After studying a large number of Care of Magical Creatures, I assembled these patterns one by one.

Just like I just showed you, do it backwards.

The Magic Array was then discovered.

We discovered that when these Magic Array are infused with magical power, they produce the same effect as spells.

Therefore, all our existing Magic Array originate from various Care of Magical Creatures.

Another method involves us wizards separating ourselves from the Fantastic Beasts themselves. These deciphered Magic Array were created after being disassembled, reassembled, and tested one by one.

The combat tactics you learned in the last lesson for dealing with ordinary Care of Magical Creatures also originated from this.

Through a concise Magic Array, the wizard can more clearly find the weakness of the Fantastic Beasts represented by the Magic Array.

What you are learning is the method of forging the key to the 'lock' formed by the overlapping parts of Care of Magical Creatures arrays.

However, not all Care of Magical Creatures have been deciphered.

Some of the Magic Array they represent have not even been deciphered yet.

Unicorn are one of them.

"How did Voldemort— "

"Isn't this contradictory?" Harry asked, puzzled.

"It's not contradictory at all."

Voldemort relied entirely on his own perception of magic.

Its superior magical abilities were used to deal with the Unicorn.

He did not go through the complicated steps of studying Unicorn, combining, testing, translating into a planar array, testing again, and then cracking it.

He treated the Unicorn like a lock.

His magic spread swiftly like water through a keyhole, then froze.

It was forged into an 'ice key'.

Moreover, destruction is easier than creation.

"I see. So, does Fawkes, the Phoenix, have Magic Array?" Harry looked intently at Fawkes.

This caused Fawkes to shake his head from side to side in displeasure.

"Phoenix don't have Magic Array either."

It is singular to the extreme.

Just like the Nether Dragon.

It doesn't either.

I had a feeling about it during the summer vacation.

After all, it would be a shame not to give it a try when you encounter such a powerful Care of Magical Creatures.

"Perhaps we can use a Magic Array to break down his talent into interesting spells." Dumbledore winked mischievously.

Why is that?

"I've had this idea before."

Perhaps every Care of Magical Creatures possesses this potential.

When their single magical properties are trained to the extreme.

The traces of magic within them will disappear.

Then, like us wizards.

"What was the order in which the Care of Magical Creatures and the Magic Array appeared?"

"The magic came first, then the Magic Array, Harry."

I just said that.

Complete magical patterns are often not found inside a Care of Magical Creatures.

That is, Magic Array.

We usually study the patterns inside hundreds of the same Care of Magical Creatures and combine them into three-dimensional stripes.

Then it was converted into a flat surface, and after testing, it became Magic Array.

Oh, and I should remind you of something.

I know Hagrid has already provided you with the competition details for the First Task—

One-on-one uniform service.

However, dragons are also creatures that Care of Magical Creatures tactics cannot deal with.

Because you can only temporarily reduce its magic.

However, dragons rely more on their powerful physical bodies.

Moreover, Dragonfire is not just a magical effect.

"Its body also has specialized organs for breathing fire," Dumbledore said solemnly.

The eyes hidden behind the half-moon shaped lenses were full of concern.

"Wait a minute." Harry suddenly remembered Professor Riddle, who was absent today. "I've been observing him lately; he looks like a humanoid Unicorn."

And every Saturday and Sunday.

It will disappear.

Almost no student at the school saw him during that time period.

Could it be because of his magic experiment?

Weakened?

While possessing the powerful magic of the Unicorn.

It also inherited the weaknesses of Care of Magical Creatures.

So you're constantly looking for ways to make up for it in your free time?

Upon hearing Dumbledore first waved his wand, and the magical patterns in mid-air disappeared into the air.

Then he put the wand in his pocket, crossed his arms, and his facial muscles stiffened, as if he was trying hard to suppress a laugh.

However, he couldn't help but laugh out loud in the end, "You have a very keen eye for observation."

However, you've got the cause and effect wrong.

It's not that he resembles Unicorn. It's that the Unicorn resembles him.

He simply relinquished the so-called original sin.

The evolution of magic resulting from extreme purity.

His transformation contains the secret of the birth of the first Unicorn.

In your terms, he absorbed the advantages of Unicorn while maintaining his own omnipotent magical abilities.

If you're really curious about it.

You can continue your research.

This is a very good topic.

As an elderly person, I want to remind you of something.

In the long years to come, these interesting topics will also be good companions for passing the time.

Lemei is a prime example.

The study of magic is an eternal subject.

I think you and I are a perfect match.
