Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Wave the magic wand, "Sunshine, flowing water, happiness, all kinds of flavors, and delicious food appear!"

He rewarded himself and Conte with a table of delicious food to relieve the depression of being confined by himself.

Sainz plunged headfirst into the study of invisibility.

He gradually separated the four invisible spells that seemed to be written in layers, just like unraveling all the clues from a ball of wool that was tangled together.

After a long period of comparison and verification, he believed that the invisibility spell he thought of was four instead of one, and it was not a meaningless act on his part.

The successful performance of magic sometimes gives people a somewhat idealistic feeling, as if it is just waving a small stick and making a nonsense wish.

Even without waving a wand or chanting spells, some magical effects can be achieved, which seems even more idealistic.

However, Sainz sees it differently.

He often asked himself this question, "If magic is really subjective, then why am I still so weak?"

Yes, if magic is really subjective, he has made a wish in his heart so many times to become an immortal, why hasn't it come true yet?

There is a widely circulated saying among idealists: "I think, therefore I am!"

They even believe that the entire universe is a world of mind. They believe that if I hadn't been still thinking, the whole world would have been extinguished long ago.

Look, this is idealism.

If magic is truly idealistic, then it should be able to realize all mental images.

Sainz, no, Minko should have become an immortal long ago. After all, that is his state of mind.

But he didn't, the magic didn't fulfill its wish, and it had to obey certain laws that were not "magical" at all.

what is this?

This is a materialistic worldview!!!

Yes, although magic sometimes does not involve matter and seems very mysterious, the way it works is not idealistic, it is a very scientific materialistic discipline.

However, wizards are still in the stage of empirical exploration, just like the craftsmen of the past who accidentally fired a piece of exquisite glass or forged a sword.

It is more like an ancient scholar who accidentally discovered some chemical reactions, and everyone who saw it was amazed, saying, "Oh, this is amazing!"

The same is true of magic today!

Magic is scientific and materialistic, even if it is some magic that seems to come out of nothing, Sainz believes this is also true.

The fact that the invisibility spell can be recorded in a fixed format is even more typical of materialism.

Sainz speculated that the effect of the invisibility spell was like pinhole imaging or the refraction and reflection of light, which was just an application of optical properties.

He wrote in his notes: "I speculate that the invisibility spell may be able to cause light to change its path and take a curved route, which I have tentatively named "light path deflection".

When it comes to the change in the path of light, people like me who have received a certain amount of natural science education will first think of massive celestial bodies. Celestial bodies such as black holes can even completely bind light, making its center unobservable.

The invisibility spell is obviously not achieved by bending the light path using this kind of technical route.

I suspect the way it works might be unimaginably simple.

Sometimes the truth behind many things that seem incredible may be so simple that it cannot be simpler.

I can't help but think of the magic in the Muggle world. Many seemingly incredible magic tricks, after being truly deciphered, sometimes even make people doubt their IQ, "That's it!? I was fooled by this?"

The change in the path of light reminded me of periscopes and optical fibers.

Anyone who knows the principle of a periscope knows that it is made of two mirrors, which allows crew members to observe the environment above the water surface while underwater. Look, the light has changed its path.

In fact, by simply buckling the two periscopes together in reverse, you can easily bypass the objects sandwiched between the two periscopes, and looking through the periscope, you will only see the scene on the opposite side.

To the periscope's eyepiece, things behind it are invisible.

I tried to start from this direction.

It turns out that I guessed it right!!!

The secret of invisibility is revealed to me!!!"

Everything that seems complicated has a simple and clear explanation behind it!

The four runes of the invisibility spell act like the four mirrors in an upside-down periscope, which fold the light fourfold rather than making the path of the light follow an arc like a massive celestial body.

After guessing the working principle of the invisibility spell, it will be easy to find out the order of action of the four runes that make up the spell.

At least I know the direction of the experiment.

This is particularly important in an experiment without precedent.

It is much easier to mechanically count from one to a thousand than to sort out the order of a thousand messy things.

Because the four runes are superimposed on each other and interconnected, they are not really isolated from each other like four characters. Therefore, determining the order in which magic power is injected is far from as simple as the arrangement and combination of four numbers.

Where to start, where to turn, which is light and which is heavy, all of these need to be tested one by one.

The permutations and combinations of four characters are easy to determine. If the four characters are broken down into strokes, the starting and ending points of the strokes, the heaviness of the strokes, and other factors are taken into consideration, the number of permutations and combinations will increase exponentially.

These are all mechanical calculations, and they always make me think how great it would be if there was a magic computer, which could perform all these mechanical calculations.

It’s hard to imagine how helpless and great our ancestors were when they had to use abacus to calculate the data of nuclear bomb explosions.

In this case, who can still say that magic is subjective? ! "

………………

The days passed by in this mechanical testing day by day.

Sometimes when he was really bored, he would flip through other books or practice "Flying to Extinction" to change his mood.

Yes, now his levitation spell can allow him to stand in the air easily, and with the movement spell, he can move back and forth freely in the air.

Combined with the Illusion Spell, the Silence Spell, and the Breath-Hardening Spell derived from the Freezing Spell, he can ensure that he can move quickly in the air silently, colorlessly and odorlessly.

He calls this state "flying extinction"!

Now, at the slow speed of an ordinary person moving, the Disillusionment Charm can ensure invisibility in low-light environments.

But at his current speed of flying with the Firebolt, the effect of the Disillusionment Charm was as ridiculous as a broken CRT TV.

Sainz is now able to fly freely in the air, unlike last Christmas when he could only change direction as limitedly as skiing in the air.

If you want to achieve true disappearance in flight, you need real invisibility skills!

Disillusionment spell? No!

Hi, good things come to those who wait...

There’s nothing we can do. Now that things have come to this, let’s eat first!

“Sunshine, flowing water, happiness, flavors, and delicious food appear!!!”
