In the preparation stage before entering school, any little wizard is extremely excited.
They got the wand and could finally cast spells. They always stared at the content in "The Standard Book of Spells" to learn some practical magic, and then surprised their friends who were enrolled at the same time.
But Tom has already passed this stage. He is also experimenting with magic, but it is not an attempt on the edge of the threshold.
Instead, start practicing more realistically.
From Charms in the first grade, to Charms in the second and third grades, he is trying them all.
So many years of general education in magic give Tom a great advantage in getting started with Charms.
After just a few attempts, Charms in the book seems to have achieved good results.
However, thinking of the mastery of Charms that the professor once mentioned, he wanted to study a magic in depth to verify it.
Among the Charms at this stage, it is best to experiment with two Charms, one is Levitation Charm and the other is Lumos.
Levitation Charm He was able to release it without the wand. Now that he has the wand, he can use it much more easily.
Originally it could only make feathers float, but now, even teacups, basins, and even some heavy furniture can be made to float.
This Charms is actually not difficult at all. As long as you master the stress of the mantra, the rhythm of the pause, and preferably the light and airy feeling, there is almost no possibility of failure in this Charms.
But...
Tom ran into trouble when he planned to further increase the weight of the floating object.
For a huge stone in the backyard, he wanted to make it float, but he couldn't. Moreover, even if it was heavy furniture, he could make it float, but it was much more difficult to make it move flexibly.
This feeling of clearly knowing something, but not completely mastering it, makes Tom a little distressed.
So he began to reorganize the details of magic, intending to research specific methods on his own that would allow him to further master this magic.
Originally, if Grindelwald was here at this time, just give him some instructions.
However, during this period, Germany's matter became more and more serious. In addition, Grindelwald seemed to have his own considerations, and then unilaterally informed Tom that the magic teaching was temporarily suspended. In the future, it may be explained from time to time, or it may not be...
Such an ambiguous answer leaves even Tom speechless.
Fortunately, Magical Theory has already talked about many of them, so now I just think about them myself and integrate them.
Tom Because there are Zane's books in the orphanage, he also has some understanding of some of Muggle's subject theories.
For example, in Muggle's theory, objects naturally have the force to fall toward the ground, and they call this force gravity.
So, if you want to float an object, does the magic power offset the gravity at this time, making it become an existence without the influence of gravity?
If you follow this theory, then the reason why you can't lift heavy objects will be very clear, that is because the magic output is not enough to offset more gravity.
But what about controlling objects to move through the air?
Is it necessary to add more magic power to control the movement of objects in addition to the original ability to offset gravity?
He was a little excited just because there was a hint of this speculation.
This is very likely to be correct. You should know that such a point of view was mentioned in Magical Theory described by Grindelwald.
When casting Charms, your emotions and will are the key to magic output.
Putting it on top of this Charms is, when you imagine the object starting to float, imagine that the lighter it is, the higher it will become in the end.
Does this mean that when the wizard inputs enough upward magic power, the object can offset more gravity?
With the idea in mind, Tom started experimenting. He continued to improve his control over magic power, and at the same time increased his thoughts about ascending. His wand pointed directly at a small stone not far away.
The moment he recited the incantation, the stone flew up into the sky.
This can't be called floating anymore, it's more like a launching spell.
And the most important thing is that Tom lost the perception and control of the stone.
After waiting for a few seconds, the stone fell again.
Tom, with his quick eyes and quick hands, pointed his wand at the stone. This time, he did not offer the idea of ascending, but just let it float in place.
Finally, the speed of the stone falling to the ground stopped instantly, and the amount of magic power that could be consumed was more than twice as much as before.
Is it possible that magic really counteracts gravity, and can even counteract the downward impact?
To this end, Tom carried out experiments again and again.
Mo Fei looked at Tom like a mad scientist, and finally realized again that it was really different from the original work.
You know, in the original work, Tom is obsessed with Dark Magic, especially about the magic of death.
Of course, these magics are also the magic that the power in his bloodline can provide the greatest help to.
The price/performance ratio is terrible.
With just a little bit of effort, you can get returns that are several times greater. Who knows?
If these Dark Magic were not too precious and the magic in Hogwarts were stored in Restricted Section, and he needed the professor's note, he might have started researching the magic of Horcrux long ago.
Even those rare collections among the Pure-blood nobles are not easily obtainable.
This is also the reason why he adopted friendly and charming tactics as soon as he entered Hogwarts.
He gradually penetrated into Pure-blood wizard through his personality charm, and inadvertently revealed his identity as Heir of Slytherin. With the natural filter of Parseltongue, he was able to obtain the initial start-up funds...
Later, like a snowball, he continued to win the favor of Professor Slughorn and gained a lot of knowledge about Dark Magic from him.
Only in this way can he master Dark Magic and become Dark Lord.
But...
Now, Tom has abandoned the most convenient shortcut and instead studied this most basic magic.
However, even so, he still achieved good results.
Mo Fei is very satisfied.
This research lasted for a month, and after he got the best results at this stage, Kyle also came back.
It wasn't because I was taking a break, but I came back specifically.
In order to send Tom to start school.
"You really don't have to come all the way back, we can send him off..."
"That's different. You can't enter Platform Nine and Three-Quarters in King's Cross Station. When I was in school, I envied those parents who could send their children to the train, so it was not so much to send him off as to commemorate my childhood..."
Since Kyle said so, Mo Fei has nothing to refute.
"Tom is still experimenting with his magic? A Levitation Charm, what is there to study? There are many interesting magics that can be learned in Hogwarts..."
"If you don't like Charms, there are also Herbology and Potions who can learn..."
Kyle doesn't quite understand Tom's choice.
Tom does know that only those who are calm can do great things, and Kyle can only be completely calm when making clothes. Therefore, in other aspects, Mo Fei has already known this.
"Don't say that, he will definitely be a big shot in the future..."
"... Only for this point, I agree..."
While they were chatting, Tom ran out excitedly. When he saw Kyle, his eyes lit up, "Kyle, you are back, that's even better... Come..."
