Chapter 13 Magic Perception and Meditation
Mike lay on his bed in the dormitory with his eyes open. The fire spell that Professor Flitwick showed him before shocked him so much that he didn't even know how he walked out of the office and back to his dormitory. Magic
can actually reach that level! It's ridiculous that he used to think that casting magic was as simple as waving a wand and chanting a spell. Now thinking back, he was completely a frog in a well.
Today he saw the power of magic for the first time, and finally understood the pride of wizards.
Just imagine, a group of "supermen" who can cast spells comparable to the power of heavy artillery by waving their wands casually, how can they treat them equally when facing a group of "mortals" who have no talent and are like ants.
Mike even thinks that it is a miracle that humans were not treated as slaves or killed by wizards before nuclear weapons were invented.
At that time, wizards faced Muggles just like Americans faced local natives when they were pioneering the American continent. They were not on the same level in terms of strength.
And I believe everyone knows the fate of those natives. They were almost killed to extinction.
You have to know that Flitwick released a purple flame. Mike remembered that his master when he was a "chef" once told him that the temperature of red and orange flames is about 3000 degrees, which is also the most common flame we usually come into contact with.
As the temperature of the flame increases, its color will also change, until it finally becomes ultraviolet light that is invisible to the naked eye. At that temperature, the flame is at least tens of thousands of degrees high.
Although Mike doesn't know the exact temperature of the purple flame, it must be above 3000 degrees. A flame of this temperature can almost melt steel instantly.
A mere flame spell can achieve this degree, so what about the more terrifying Fiendish Fire Curse? Without using the Breaking Curse, it will almost never go out, and the increasingly powerful devil flames are comparable to nuclear weapons in destructive power under certain circumstances!
Mike longs for this kind of power!
Compared with this great power, his original ideal: to become a superior person. It is simply worthless.
Thinking of this, Mike was so excited that he couldn't sleep.
But Mike had no idea about the meditation and feeling the flow of magic that Flitwick said.
The first thing is to feel the flow of magic.
Professor Flitwick meant that he should feel the flow of magic power when casting magic, but when Mike cast magic, he always waved his wand and chanted the spell, and he never felt any magic power.
Mike thought that he might not have noticed it when he cast the spell, and he cast a fluorescent flash casually, but just like before, he didn't feel anything.
Now Mike was a bit of a muggle. According to Professor Flitwick, to increase the power of magic, one must be able to completely control his magic power, but Mike couldn't even feel his own magic power, so how could he control it? After
several more experiments, Mike almost cast all the magic he knew, but the results were still disappointing.
In addition to being exhausted, he didn't even feel the so-called magic power. Gradually, Mike began to doubt his talent.
Sensing magic power may be a talent, just like he was born very lucky. People without talent can't sense magic power no matter how hard they try.
But Mike didn't give up. Mike was so lucky that he could be reborn even if he was beaten to death. If feeling magic power really requires talent, then he must have this talent.
After all, good luck can really do whatever you want.
Mike began to search his memory carefully, trying to find the so-called magic in the past casting process.
As his memory was turned over bit by bit, Mike once again confirmed that he had never felt the so-called magic in the process of casting spells. Just as he was grabbing his hair frantically, he suddenly thought.
It doesn't have to be when casting spells!
Compared with the formulaic release of magic with the help of spells and wands, the supernatural phenomena caused by the explosion of magic power are caused by oneself without any external force. So is the magic fluctuation during the explosion of magic power easier to detect?
Mike immediately thought of his most recent magic explosion, which was the one in the Leaky Cauldron.
Although Mike was very angry that time and wanted to kill the wizard, he vaguely remembered that there seemed to be a force released from his body at that time. That feeling was like flowing water!
Mike, who found hope, almost immediately wanted to have a magic explosion to experiment, but reason stopped him. If the magic power exploded in the dormitory, it would definitely be a big trouble.
You know, Professor Flitwick had clearly warned him not to experiment with magic in the dormitory. Although Professor Flitwick's tone at the time was a bit like a joke, Mike didn't think it was a joke.
Teachers prefer students with good grades and obedience. He had just caused trouble for Flitwick during the day, but he ignored his warning and caused a big explosion in the dormitory that night.
This would undoubtedly cause Flitwick's dissatisfaction.
Let's put the experiment aside for later. Mike has a perfect place for the experiment: the Room of Requirement!
Mike, who restrained himself, decided to go to the Room of Requirement for the experiment tomorrow. Although finding the Room of Requirement so quickly might attract the attention of Dumbledore, the old bee, time waits for no one.
As he grows older, magic riots become less and less. The original Mike even needs to actively suppress his emotions to ensure that magic riots do not occur.
In the many days since entering Hogwarts, even if Mike let go of his control of emotions and even used emotional spellcasting techniques, he did not trigger even one magic riot.
At this time, Mike was very skeptical whether he could still trigger a magic riot.
But all this can only be known through experiments.
Mike, who has decided on the itinerary for tomorrow, began to think about another key word mentioned by Professor Flitwick: meditation.
Mike knew absolutely nothing about meditation. He had only heard of this word for the first time today.
No! He remembered! He had heard the word meditation before, from his wife Amanda.
He remembered that his wife was very obsessed with yoga for a while. During that time, she sat cross-legged on the yoga mat without moving, except for cheating on her with her damn yoga instructor. When Mike asked her about it, her answer was that she was meditating.
Could it be that meditation is to sit cross-legged with eyes closed?
Mike sat on the bed like Amanda did in his memory, but it didn't take long before he felt sleepy.
His head with short golden hair moved up and down in the air, and finally, with a heavy nod, Mike fell asleep.
