Hermione seemed to remember something, "Professor, did you use this rune in the public class last year?"

"No, the public class demonstrated real ancient magic, but it was based on this rune." Felix said.

He looked at the time and said gently, "Today is almost over. As for how to explore the power of a single rune, I will arrange this part tomorrow. You can try it yourself after you go back. There is no danger, but it may cause you some trouble."

"Trouble?"

Felix raised his mouth: "If I remember correctly, the effect of a rune I taught you is very interesting. I wonder if you can find it?"

Hermione felt a little resentful. The professor's bad taste appeared again...

At this point, Hermione almost understood the logic of the entire practical ancient rune system. If she made an analogy, she thought of the radio she had disassembled herself.

Runes are the basis of everything, and their status is equivalent to the electronic parts in the radio;

but whether it is a single rune or an electronic part, they are relatively independent and can show their own characteristics, such as the heating of resistors, the light of small light bulbs, and the rune that means light that the professor showed.

These characteristics are not good or bad, strong or weak in nature, but after adding human subjective judgment, there are differences: the luminous characteristic is obviously more useful than the heat characteristic...

and the magic rune circuit corresponds to the circuit in the radio. At this time, the magic runes have been combined to form a circuit with specific magic functions, such as the explosive magic rune circuit demonstrated by the professor a long time ago.

She still remembers that Professor Hepp described it as "very unstable" at the time, which shows that a single magic rune circuit is also difficult to be used stably.

Only when multiple magic rune circuits cooperate with each other can a magic rune creation with complete functions be created, just like her beaded bag.

As for ancient magic, she didn't have much information, so she assumed that it was the same relationship.

Hermione felt that it was easy to understand with such an analogy. She told her thoughts to the professor and looked at him expectantly, "What do you think?"

Felix gave him an approving look, "It's a very vivid summary, Miss Granger. For you at the moment, you can completely understand it this way."

The little witch nodded. She was exposed to too much new knowledge today and needed to sort it out again after returning.

...

After Hermione left, Felix sat on the sofa. What he had learned tonight made him think more deeply about the similarities and differences between ancient magic and simplified magic.

His previous idea was that ancient magic was powerful but difficult to control; while simplified magic was not powerful, but it was completely sufficient. Its biggest advantage was that it was easy to learn and had a lower probability of losing control.

But in fact, it was almost inevitable that simplified magic replaced ancient magic

. Simplified magic can basically be regarded as a combination of spells + casting actions + magic mobilization.

'Spells' represent the power of the mind, which can be omitted after proficiency, that is, silent casting;

while the latter two, 'casting actions' and 'magic mobilization', can be confused in most cases.

This is because in the simplified magic system, casting actions and magic mobilization are bound one by one, and one casting action corresponds to a way of magic mobilization, which is the essence of the entire simplified magic system.

The benefits of this approach are amazing:

wizards do not have to spend a lot of time learning how to mobilize and control their magic, and this part of knowledge is naturally integrated into the teaching system of Hogwarts.

Theoretically, as long as you learn the regular casting movements, you are qualified to master most of the spells under the same system.

The reason why it is not all spells is that some unpopular casting movements have been deleted from the current textbooks of Hogwarts, which means that the young wizards cannot master the magic mobilization methods behind these casting movements.

However, if the professor wants to teach extra, he can spend more time on the new casting movements while explaining the spells. The young wizards will at most feel that the spell is a little difficult and not very handy.

It is precisely because the casting movements and magic mobilization are very closely combined that many young wizards only know the former and have no concept of the latter, but this does not affect their use of magic at all.

An extreme example is:

some wizards with outstanding talents can master the corresponding magic by relying on the other party's spells and casting movements just by watching others cast spells once.

What's more convenient is that when you are familiar enough with the spell, the casting movements can also be omitted, and everything seems to return to the magic mobilization itself. It's

just that most wizards have never seen this process clearly from beginning to end.

If you are not satisfied with the teaching content of the school, the library of Hogwarts also has a lot of information for young wizards to refer to and study in depth, provided that you choose the right book.

The above thoughts can all be regarded as the advantages of simplified magic. It is simple and easy to learn, self-contained, and retains the possibility of further improvement.

This is much better than ancient magic.

You must know that ancient wizards did not even have standard and unified casting movements. Every time they learned an ancient magic, it meant an adventure. They naturally tended to learn the same type of magic to reduce the risk of learning new magic.

In addition, the ancient wizards followed the master-apprentice teaching system, and communication was not as convenient as it is now. This also led to their serious bias. Many wizards only mastered a few fire magics in their lifetime.

According to Felix's speculation, only when he mastered a large number of practical ancient magic runes and the combination of magic runes, could he truly bring out the power of ancient magic.

Even with a few fire magics, he could set the prairie on fire.

And simplifying magic is not all advantages.

This approach has led to an inevitable result: for today's wizards, the more ancient the magic, the more difficult it is to master.

This is because some ancient magic inherited the ancient wizards' understanding of magic, but this understanding seems incompatible with the current magic system.

For example, the Patronus Charm focuses more on the use of mental power.

Moreover, its method of mobilizing magic power is not within the basic spellcasting actions taught at Hogwarts, which means that you have to relearn several or even dozens of methods of mobilizing and controlling magic power, which almost stumps more than 90% of wizards.

Felix realized this very early and thought of getting rid of the constraints of the simplified magic framework.

He first read books in the library to learn more methods of mobilizing and controlling magic power.

He also tried to discover powerful magic from various ancient books, master and control them.

In fact, this is also the choice of many wizards to improve their control and understanding of magic in the pursuit of powerful magic.

Later, Felix targeted the practical ancient magic runes that he believed pointed directly to the essence of magic, and developed it all the way to today.

But now it seems that magic runes are the essence of magic?

In just one year, he has seen Slytherin's blood magic, Ravenclaw's memory magic, and Dumbledore's faintly revealed transfiguration.

Everyone is on the right path, although Felix has no doubt that the path he has chosen has the greatest potential.

If he is allowed to judge now, there is only one essence of magic, and that is the magic that magic wizards are born with.

With magic, there is a colorful and flourishing magical world.
