Society is developing and times are progressing. This sentence applies to Muggle society as well as the magical world.
After the Dark Ages, the separation of the ordinary and the extraordinary made Muggles more determined to embark on the path of science and technology. Since then, society has been changing rapidly, and changes that were unimaginable by previous generations have taken place.
The magical world seems peaceful and has been following the old traditions, but in fact, spells, potion formulas, etc. have been updated for countless generations.
This can be seen from the selection of textbooks at Hogwarts - except for the history of magic, most of the textbooks on other subjects are not as old as the school's professors, and those old books from tens of hundreds of years ago are more of a supplement. Readings allow students to learn from the wisdom of sages.
But if we had to use one word to summarize the development process of more than three hundred years between the two, the most suitable word for Muggles is undoubtedly "innovation", but wizards can only call it "update".
This was of course due to the low level of technology at that time, and even steam power had not yet received people's attention. The following industrial era, electrical age, and information age were each step that set a precedent in history. The gap between before and after is naturally quite huge.
At that time, the magic system was already relatively complete, including spells, alchemy, transformation, herbal medicine, etc. Wizards did not need to create new disciplines, they only needed to continue to add to the existing buildings.
In addition, due to the existence of extraordinary power, the conservative forces among wizards have an overwhelming advantage. Compared with the Muggles, the development of the magical world seems tepid, which feels reasonable.
But... is that all?
No!
Just as Muggle technology blossomed in all directions, wizards also had a brilliant era. At that time, the magical world was far less peaceful than it is now. Humans and humans, humans and magical creatures, and magical creatures fought with each other.
Occasionally, there are some foreign figures involved. Generations of people cannot even understand what peace is. For them, it is just a strange word that only exists in prayers but has never been experienced.
What's more, the language of certain races does not have this word at all, but uses certain phrases to express similar semantics - most of them call peace a "gap of strife."
It must be said that surviving in that chaotic era was a challenge for any creature, regardless of strength or weakness.
Even those who are naturally powerful, such as dragons and ancient giants, completely faded from the sight of other races before the Dark Ages. To this day, no one can prove that they still exist under the same blue sky as us.
Only when facing the fire dragons and the remaining subspecies of giants, will some people sigh and wonder what kind of adversity it was that allowed such a powerful species to disappear in the smoke of history.
From the standpoint of various races, it was undoubtedly a bad era, but for magic, it was the most brilliant golden age.
The lurking crises make people dare not stop moving forward. While modern wizard students are drinking black tea and thinking about whose homework they are going to copy, the magic seeds from thousands of years ago can only carefully avoid the aftermath of the teacher's battle, longing for the teacher. If you can save some energy, teach him more knowledge tonight so that you can have the power to defend yourself against the enemy as soon as possible. ….
After leaving the ivory tower, the young wizard sat bored behind his desk, imagining what kind of novel and interesting life those students who applied for jobs as dragon trainers or other "stimulating" jobs would have, but he didn't know that thousands of years ago After a puff of dragon fire, what did the scattered embers look like?
Just like many old aristocrats with a long history, when they brag about the glory of their ancestors and talk about the great achievements of the sages of the past generations, they also don't think about themselves, their families, the source of all glory. In that era, they wanted to spend all their spare time every day. They all devoted themselves to the study of magic. Wisps of ink blurred under their pens and penetrated into the gaps of the leather, guiding generations of successors to embark on different paths.
There are many such people, many such roads. Sometimes they intersect, sometimes they run in opposite directions. Some of them merge together while walking, and some of them just walk... and no one comes after them.
With more people traveling together, the roads have names - magic, alchemy, divination... and so on.
Today
, later generations added the prefix "ancient" to them and continued to move forward in the tributaries derived from them.
In ancient times, there were no world rules to help "cheat". Every wizard had to study magic alone. No one would randomly use spells that they did not understand well against the enemy. Otherwise, like those children today, they would dare to recite spells even if they are not good at it. Losing Qi randomly during a duel will most likely cause various magical accidents of varying intensity.
But precisely because of this, ancient wizards were closer to the essence of magic. At that time, children first had to learn the theory of magic, and it would probably be a few years before they started to really come into contact with magic.
Modern Charms is safer and more stable, but rather than saying it is magic, in Aini's opinion, it is more like divine magic, at least until you understand enough about magic theory.
Those wizards whose personal ability is not enough to construct spell models recite the spell, imagine how it should work, and then click on a link to guide the spell model burned into the will of heaven and earth to produce corresponding results. magical effect.
The spell is like a prayer, and Blue Star's will of heaven and earth is the god who gives them strength.
In ancient times, people who used magic without relying on their own abilities were not qualified to be called wizards.
From the ancient fragments scattered among the piles of old papers, future generations can occasionally appreciate the power of those top ancient wizards. If Dumbledore were to return to a thousand years ago, he would not be obliterated by everyone, but he would be able to dominate the contemporary world for decades as he is now. But it is absolutely impossible.
"I'm really curious as to what kind of drastic changes allowed none of the legendary and famous wizards to survive the Dark Ages."
Aini whispered, not paying attention to the fluctuations coming from behind. With a wave of his hand, the hot dragon's blood that had just been flowing in his palm turned into moist rain and spread to the surrounding woods.
Then he waved again, and a few drops of water flew back, quickly gathering on his fingertips and burning into a warm yellow flame.
Seeing the flames running through the fingers like a small snake, Aini's mouth opened in a comfortable arc.
This transformation is not the effect of the prayer spell, but...
"Pah~pah~pah~"
The old man who had just Apparated applauded gently.
"Amazing transformation technique. I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few days, you have reached a point that in my estimation, you will only touch in a few years."
Seeing the flames turning into rain again and dripping down Aini's palms, and the grass on the ground suddenly growing, Dumbledore's eyes became brighter.
"I was lucky enough to get something lucky this time. Speaking of which, I just picked up a bargain."
Aini's words are not entirely modest. Today's breakthrough is not only due to his hard work and talent, but also thanks to the gift of Blue Star.
The greatest use of the wishing technique for him is not just to exchange for various rare materials!
