Studying magic must go from easy to difficult, especially since the spell system of DND is quite different from the magic world.
So Ted thought to start with level 0 spells.
In the spell book of the three-ring red-robed wizard, the 0-level spells are:
Mage's hand, repair, forbidden light, adhesion, arcane mark, magic trick, detect magic, reading magic, communication, freezing ray.
For example, like the communication technique, I have already developed similar abilities through spiritual energy, so I don't need it anymore.
There is a similar adhesion spell in the magic world, called the "Permanent Adhesion Spell", which has a more powerful effect than this.
Some wizards with profound magic powers and proficient in spells cast spells that can make two things stick together for dozens or hundreds of years, just like they were born together, and ordinary magic cannot do it.
Repair spells are also compared with repair spells. Level 0 repair spells can only repair some simple minor injuries, while repair spells can even restore things that have been broken into pieces. Complete victory!
The rest is that it has a unique effect. For a while, there is no magic with similar effects in the magic world.
The hand of the mage can use magic power to form an invisible magic hand. The specific effect depends on the spell proficiency and the strength of the magic power. It is a very practical and necessary spell for mages.
The forbidden light technique can turn a small area black, making it impossible for light to penetrate.
The secret mark is also necessary for spell casters. Everyone will form their own unique secret mark, which is a "magic ID card".
Detect Magic is used to detect magic effects.
For example, if you find a magic item and don't know what the consequences will be, you can use this to detect it. You can also detect whether a spell has been cast in a certain place.
Reading Magic can decipher magical writing on objects—books, scrolls, weapons, etc. This interpretation generally does not trigger the magic contained in the text.
For example, there is a dark magic book with a curse that will make you blind if you look at it. You can use reading magic to see the actual words on it without triggering the curse.
Freeze ray can emit a frost ray, which will cause frostbite or even freeze on the target hit.
A weakened version of Ice Arrow? It loses its penetrating power and its lethality is greatly reduced, but the freezing effect is preserved. And casting the spell is simple, only a simple word or a gesture is needed to cast the spell.
Ted finally decided to start with the "Freeze Ray".
Because he is now very proficient in freezing magic. After all, he has studied frost armor and ice arrows. It should not be difficult to get the freezing ray.
Once a breakthrough is made and the mode of casting spells is successfully studied, it will be much easier to study other spells.
The spell model of the Freeze Ray is a very simple three-dimensional model, mainly trying to use magic power to construct it, and how to activate it quickly without the magic network.
Ted tried for two days to successfully cast the freeze ray, but it was far from a success. Because the casting time takes a full eight seconds, it has almost no use value.
The next step is to streamline the steps and optimize the process of running magic and building spell models.
…
In about five days, Ted completely cracked and "localized" the Freeze Ray spell.
All he needs to do is stretch his fingers and play the simple musical scale "ice", without even using a wand, to shoot out a blue-white ray with a range of up to seven meters, which can make a wooden pile covered with a thin layer of ice.
In terms of actual combat value, it is indeed not great. But mostly it’s a process of learning and hacking.
After Ted successfully cracked the freeze ray, he devoted himself to cracking and developing other magics.
The subsequent secret magic mark and mage's hand only took four days in total!
This feeling of learning and mastering magic is really addictive~
But soon, his research was interrupted.
His ghost friend has arrived.
"Helena? Why are you here?!"
Seeing Helena enter the abandoned classroom through the wall, Ted put down the wand in his hand.
It seems that the last time I met Helena was the last time.
Well, it’s been two weeks. I was so focused on studying new magic that I completely forgot about it. Guilty sin.
Helena saw the messy books and notes on the table in front of Ted, as well as the training dummy in the distance, and nodded slightly: "I have already checked some information left by my mother. Maybe my mother did leave some information in the last stage of her life. What happened?"
"Statue?" Ted asked.
"Yes. Mother should have cast magic on her statue, a special kind of magic related to the mind and soul..." She looked at Ted's expression seriously, not missing a single bit.
In fact, she had found many clues a week ago, but she hesitated for several days before coming to Ted.
The boy is excellent, understanding, intelligent and eager to learn. At the same time, you can also see his obsession with magic.
But this is also a problem for Helena.
Because the last boy who looked like him really deceived her so much that she even developed post-traumatic stress disorder.
This is also the reason why many Ravenclaw students have felt that the resident ghost, Ms. Gray, was inhumane in the past thirty or forty years.
At this time, she observed Ted carefully because she was worried that she could see the ambition and fanaticism she had seen in his eyes.
But for Ted, the thought magic studied by Ms. Ravenclaw did seem interesting, but for him, he had completely different magical knowledge every month, so he didn't particularly care.
Not like Voldemort, who started to be afraid of death at a young age. In order to escape death, he became obsessed with Horcrux magic.
"So, it's possible that Ms. Helena left something for you in her statue?" Ted asked.
Helena breathed a sigh of relief, "Maybe, I don't know. I'm a little scared..."
Her mood at this time included longing for her mother and guilt that she dared not face.
That "I'm sorry" that I haven't been able to say in a thousand years is so heavy.
The two chatted for a long time, and finally decided to solve the mystery left by Ms. Ravenclaw and see what she left behind in the last moments of her life.
Because there are almost no people in the common room during the day, it is very inconvenient.
Ted and Helena went out at night.
To this end, Ted even studied the level 0 spell "Detect Magic" in advance.
But the fact that Ms. Ravenclaw's magic can be hidden in the statue for thousands of years already speaks volumes.
This is not the broad sense of magic + will = magic, but a completely different system.
At least on the statue, no magic can be detected other than that provided by the castle to maintain cleanliness and integrity.
Helena said to Ted: "In her last few years, my mother has begun to study some concepts proposed from ancient magic. That is a field that no one has ever touched. Mother said it is about the mind and soul. Topic..."
Helena took out a few of Ms. Ravenclaw's original notes. The thousand-year-old books were even written in Old English. Ted used "reading magic" to understand.
The notes recorded some of Ravenclaw's ideas and inspirations. They did not mention the specific methods and principles of spell casting, but mentioned many related effects.
After reading it, Ted only understood that Ravenclaw had abandoned the route of magic spellcasting and instead delved into the depths of the soul, regarding the power of thinking and will. But what exactly it is and how it is done, I have no clue at all.
Now, using his psychic powers, he could vaguely feel a group of vague thoughts. Other than that, no magical means could detect anything abnormal about the statue.
Research has stalled, and there is nothing we can do about it.
After all, Ted was only a first-year student and had almost no in-depth research on magic.
It would be strange if he could untie it immediately.
Helena also calmed down after being impatient for a day or two. Thousands of years have passed, and to her, a ghost, time is the least valuable thing. take it easy.
Saw it in mid-December.
Professor McGonagall and the others began to take a piece of parchment and register the list of students staying at school for the holiday.
Christmas is coming in one week, and the deans of each college will write down the list of students who are staying at school and not going home for Christmas.
There will be a holiday in a few days, and the Christmas holiday will last until the beginning of January, which is half a month.
Most students and teachers will "go home".
Hermione persuaded Ted again: "Are you really not going to my house for Christmas?"
Ted thanked again: "Thank you Hermione, if I have a chance in the future, I will go. This time I will spend it at school!"
"Oh well!"
