"Director Mo, do you know how Divination implements Prophecy?"
He suddenly brought up this seemingly unrelated topic, but stopped Mo Fei from confessing in time.
This question is very profound. Not to mention a Muggle, even many adult wizards who graduated from Hogwarts cannot answer this question.
They study Divination in school, but most of them blindly record the images of Divination, then associate all the images, and then make their own judgments.
If you can get such a result accurately once out of ten times, you already have a certain amount of talent.
This kind of magic with extremely low cost performance and extremely high threshold has been directly forgotten by many young wizards...
They are more willing to learn Arithmancy, an alternative that combines the knowledge of spiritual numbers, Divination, and alchemy. Although this method is also very demanding and has a low upper limit, it has also successfully allowed some young wizards to understand the mystery of Prophecy through Arithmancy.
However, even if Muggle, who can be said to be the most powerful prophet today, directly asked this question, still made Mo Fei a little confused.
He could only rely on his partial understanding of the original work and scattered fragments of his previous life to explain it.
"... I just know some Divination methods, such as the crystal ball Divination, that is, through the intersection of my own inspirations, and then seeing some scattered scenes in it... or tea Divination, tarot cards Divination... They are all similar things..."
Mo Fei The more he talks, the less confident he becomes.
Originally, Mo Fei only regarded Divination as a child's game, perhaps as a means of psychological suggestion. Those so-called psychics are more of a liar.
But Grindelwald is different, he is a real prophet, and there is real magic in this world...
Grindelwald also did not expect Mo Fei to give an answer. He did not express an opinion after listening, but just started his own explanation.
"In Wizarding World, fate is not that kind of untouchable existence. In other words, the reason why Muggle cannot touch fate itself is because of the favor of fate... Ignorance is fearless. This sentence has always made sense..."
"As Divination masters or prophets, our first ability is to have spiritual intuition that is beyond ordinary people..."
"This kind of spiritual intuition is the core of what we can Prophecy. Of course, in fact, this kind of spiritual intuition also exists among Muggle. Therefore, there will also be some guys who use props to Divination in Muggle..."
"With spiritual intuition, it can only help us see some fragments... But these fragments are random, with almost no certainty... At this time, magic has become an important means for us..."
"We wizards use magic power and the connection with the Divination object as an anchor point, and then accurately focus the fragments on a certain person. This also gives us the ability to have a glimpse of this person..."
"But this kind of thing is not absolute. Sometimes these fragments come from traces of the person's past, and some things are possibilities in the future..."
"These are all about how we stir up splashes in the long river of destiny. The bigger the splashes, the more details we see..."
"Also, the stronger our abilities are, the greater the splash we can influence. The stronger the Divination objects are, the harder it is for their fate to make waves, so Divination will depend on many factors in the end..."
"As prophets, we have some unique means, that is, we can accurately see the past, and then we can observe some possibilities in the future as much as possible... Compared with other Divination divisions, our accuracy will be higher..."
Not to mention Grindelwald's humility, but this act of almost imparting Divination's most precious knowledge made Mo Fei completely confused about how to deal with it.
This kind of generous help, even if it is aimed at his own disciples, seems to be too attentive.
Moreover, being able to explain the fundamental principles of divination so clearly makes the originally obscure divination very approachable, which fully reflects Grindelwald's qualities as a master of magic.
You know, the reason why Trelawney in the original book is called a liar is that she simply cannot control herself from making Divination.
The usual credibility of Divination is so low that even the little wizard cannot fool him at all.
If Trelawney could tell these things, no one would doubt whether she has Divination's abilities.
However, Mo Fei is still somewhat concerned about what he just said.
"The river of destiny? Splash? I want to know one thing, that is, does Divination itself have any influence on destiny?"
Mo Fei looked straight at the prophet, Grindelwald twitched the corner of his mouth.
"If the river is big enough, then the tiny splashes may not matter, and fate will always allow some recovery... But sometimes, the huge splash caused by Divination itself will cause fate to branch and go in another direction... But this kind of thing is very rare..."
"The more likely possibility is that with the end of Divination Prophecy, when Master Divination speaks out his judgment about the future, then fate itself will develop in that direction... all other possibilities will also be completely eliminated..."
"Generally speaking, as long as people who have systematically studied Divination make Prophecy, they will not directly tell everything they see, but will vaguely tell many relevant details... This is the way to minimize the impact..."
Hearing this, Mo Fei was silent for a moment thoughtfully.
"Wouldn't that have any impact on Master Divination? I mean, if all the truth is told..."
This question made Mo Fei aware of Grindelwald's gaze. Although he didn't turn his head, he felt the man's gaze.
"How do you think we stirred up the water? It was because a part of our own destiny was wrapped in magic and collided to produce the result. Of course, I am talking about the earliest Divination. Later, under the combing of modern magic, Divination magic also ushered in a reform..."
"We began to allow our own destiny to briefly intersect with the destiny of the Divination object. The advantage of this is that the impact is smaller, but the disadvantage is that it will also be affected by the fate of the Divination object..."
Mo Fei suddenly became enlightened, and he seemed to have a relevant explanation for Trelawney's performance in the original work.
Trelawney As a wizard with the ability to Divination, in order to survive, she then forcibly Divination Voldemort.
But Voldemort's own strength made his destiny very strong, so, with no other choice, Trelawney chose to let his destiny and his destiny briefly intersect.
Then she made the classic Prophecy in front of Dumbledore.
But the problem also arises here, her strength is so different that even a simple contact makes her become a puppet under the influence of Voldemort's fate.
No matter how hard she worked later, she could only make Divination related to Voldemort. Although she entered Hogwarts, she lost the ability of Divination in disguise. I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
After making appropriate guesses about the original work, Mo Fei finally understood what Grindelwald was thinking.
Once you express your judgment about the future, as a prophet, you will most likely be forced to decide the future, which means you will lose all possibilities.
Looking at it now, Grindelwald seems to have other ideas. Is it possible that he can defeat Dumbledore in the future?
Or does he have any other plans?
Mo Fei Suddenly felt that the world in the original work had begun to undergo changes that he had not expected.
