Transformation magic was something that took Noah a while to master.
Of course, this kind of transformation is different from the transformation you are currently learning in school. It is a more interesting magic that can change freely. The most basic manifestation is "illusion". After learning it, you can change your appearance at will, which is very practical. Spell.
Now Noah no longer needs to rely on illusions to look like he is in his twenties, although he is still used to using illusions.
In addition, Noah can also transform into other animals, but only if he knows enough about the animal he wants to transform into. He cannot transform into a creature he does not understand rashly, otherwise he will risk harming himself. After all, he is still flesh and blood.
In fact, when he first learned this spell, Noah's first reaction was to change Keya's horns. Fortunately, his reason stopped him. It was time to let Keya adapt to his own horns instead of letting Keya lose his horns.
And now he is not unable to cope with Keya's destructive power.
Tonight, Noah plans to study star magic in depth. Who doesn't like infinite blue bars? It's nothing more than the need to pray to the stars every day.
Although Noah's own magic power is still in the stage of rapid growth, it is still not as good as those powerful wizards. Star magic can help him solve this problem in advance. It just consumes a lot of mental power. The time of the infinite blue bar is related to the amount of mental power and proficiency. Persisting in "praying" to the stars every night can effectively increase mental power and improve the compatibility with the magic of the stars. Reduce losses to a certain extent.
Although it takes a long time.
Tonight is a rare clear night sky, because there is no moon, and stars are dotted on the night sky, reflected on the black lake. The black lake is like the night sky, the stars are like treasures, and the starlight is the best gift.
The dementors wandering in the courtyard raised their heads as if they were aware that the starlight tonight might not be friendly to them.
…
At dawn, the stars were gradually obscured by the sun's light. Noah opened his eyes, and the starlight in his silver-gray eyes was gradually replaced by the intertwined colors of gilt and crimson. He closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, there was something strange in his eyes. It slowly faded away.
He sat up in bed. The dormitory was still very quiet. Keya was sleeping soundly with his belly turned over. His roommate was also sleeping soundly. Noah, who had meditated all night, was not tired. Instead, he felt energetic, not sleepy and not close to dawn. Early in the morning, Noah simply took out a book, lit up a fluorescent spell and started reading.
As expected, Noah received an owl package from the Ministry of Magic in the afternoon. Inside was a parchment roll and a small box.
Written on the parchment were the restrictions on the use of time turners and the relevant regulations of the Ministry of Magic. The small parchment turned out to be a hundred feet long after being unfolded. There were various usage conditions and relevant laws densely written inside. There are more than 700 articles, and the related penalties for violation are also quite severe, and most of them are even cursed.
Following the instructions on the parchment, Noah signed his name on the parchment. The parchment instantly ignited with light blue flames, and the entire paper burned up. The contract has been reached. Violation of the contract will be noticed by the Ministry of Magic and directly punished. You may even directly suffer the curse effect.
However, the spell on the small box that came with the contract was lifted. Noah opened the box and found a shimmering golden pendant. The pendant was a double ring with a small golden pendant inside. Hourglass.
Noah stared at the hourglass for a long time, then took out his own hourglass from his pocket.
It is also a golden hourglass, but Noah's hourglass is larger. The color of the sand inside is gilded, and it will faintly reflect silvery white light in the sun.
The hourglass of the time converter is more delicate, there is not much sand in it, the color is darker, and it only has an inexplicable heavy texture in the sunlight.
But the magic on the time turner is stronger than the magic on the time hourglass, showing a very active state.
Noah thoughtfully compared the differences between the two. Speaking of which, although he could recognize the magic of the time hourglass, he had never activated it. The only time he tried to learn time magic was before. Since that failure, the magic in the hourglass has become even more silent. It was only slightly active yesterday. So until now, except for knowing that this is a time magic item, Noah knows nothing about it.
Got it.
Turning the hourglass over will have no effect, and finding a way to stop the quicksand inside will have no effect. This has led to Noah still not being able to figure out how to activate the hourglass.
After dinner, Noah went directly to the Room of Requirement and began his own research on time magic.
The time turner is made very precisely, it is a magical skill that the Ministry of Magic will never spread to outsiders, and the quantity is limited. The method of use is also very simple, just hang it around your neck and turn the hourglass, and each turn can go back one hour.
Although there is no limit to how many turns the time turner can make, according to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, the time cannot go back more than twenty-four hours, and it cannot interfere with the fate of others. Moreover, Noah borrowed this item on the pretext of "study alchemy", so he cannot use this item for anything other than that. Not to mention other regulations, they all restrict the abuse of this prop.
Noah will not abuse this item, he only intends to use it as a medium to learn time magic.
He installed the time hourglass and turned the time converter over. The moment the small hourglass in the time converter stabilized, Noah suddenly felt a pulling force pulling him back and flying backwards. Patches of various colors They passed by one by one before his eyes, as if they were falling face-down on the back of a cloud. The sounds disappeared in his ears, leaving only a heart-stopping silence.
Noah couldn't help but stumbled back a step. The real feeling of stepping on the ground broke the falling feeling, and at the same time, hearing also returned to his senses.
The moment just now was just an illusion of his senses being stretched. He didn't fall or lose his hearing. It was just the sequelae of reversing time.
He took out the time hourglass. The hourglass had been affected again, and the golden gravel inside was flowing abnormally from bottom to top. It looked quite magical.
Noah raised his feet and walked towards the center of the room. As he stepped forward and then fell, the huge magic array instantly unfolded and stuck to the ground, leaving imprint-like traces on the floor. Layers of rings and runes were grasped in turn. Carvings, curves and straight lines are intertwined, and finally an irregular pattern is intertwined within the four-fold circle.
Dark red crimson marrow liquid dripped from Noah's wrist, replacing the required alchemical solution and filling the gaps in the magic array. As the magic energy and medium for the operation of the magic array, Noah held the hand holding the hourglass flat in front of him. , as he let go of his hand, the time hourglass fell and landed steadily above the magic array.
The dark red solution blended with the color of the magic array itself, and was quickly rendered golden with the addition of the golden hourglass.
