This was Yi Xiao's first encounter with magic. Fortunately, due to his proficiency in various academic disciplines, this did not pose much of a challenge for him. Having already reached the highest level in traditional subjects, Yi Xiao, apart from things like military technology that are hard for ordinary people to access, was familiar with anything that had information available on the internet.
With his remarkable insight and extraordinary intellect, Yi Xiao quickly grasped the basics of wizardry.
According to the book "The Origin of Wizards," a wizard's magic is not as difficult as imagined. Most wizards see their magic grow as they age. Apart from a few wizards with exceptional talent, many wizards have similar levels of power. Therefore, the emergence of a powerful wizard immediately makes them a target of admiration, simply because the growth of a wizard's strength is minimal.
The book points out that the biggest difference between wizards and Muggles is magic, but it does not clearly explain why wizards have magic.
Yi Xiao is no stranger to D&D or World of Warcraft, so he is familiar with various magic settings. In the Harry Potter world, magic is more of a vague force passed down through bloodlines. He remembers that in the original story, many pure-blood families are descendants of ancestors who married magical creatures, thus acquiring magic and giving rise to the wizard race.
Therefore, as one ages, the power of the bloodline grows stronger, and so does the magic. Occasionally, wizards with exceptional talent have bloodlines closer to magical creatures, which is why they possess great power. This makes perfect sense.
Yi Xiao has also considered his own strength, which is definitely due to his Law Body. He never thought of himself as the protagonist of a world; the Law Body in the world is like the source code in a computer. As long as the corresponding data is written, it can form a program, while ordinary people need to take many detours.
Although he has no bloodline of magical creatures, he has a Law Body. The successful construction of the Law Body has opened a new door for him in the world. As long as he masters certain techniques and transformation forms, his body can adapt to that power.
Thanks to the Merlin Ring, Yi Xiao successfully used mental power, so he now needs to successfully cast any spell from the Harry Potter world.
...
London, beside the Thames. A sunny Sunday.
The air in London is not as good as one might think. Yi Xiao couldn't help but shake his head when he thought about the environment here a few hundred years ago. However, because of the Thames, the morning fog brings a different experience, and the nickname "Foggy London" is not given in vain.
Yi Xiao frowned; the heavy fog would bring many variables to his plan. On the other hand, the fog would also bring difficulties to the other side, so they are unlikely to act on a foggy day.
During this time, Yi Xiao not only studied spells but also planned his next move. He always acts with a plan.
"Scatter," Yi Xiao muttered, and the fog disappeared completely from the window.
A few days ago, Yi Xiao successfully cast his first spell. After multiple failed attempts, he angrily threw his hand and blew up his fridge. Although he lost his dinner that night, Yi Xiao had an unexpected gain.
"Mental power loaded successfully."
"Wizard bloodline loaded successfully."
The second message appeared when he successfully shattered his body, while the first one should have appeared when he put on the ring at Dave's house. However, he was too panicked at the time to notice it. These messages, like memories, are imprinted in his mind.
"Endless flow doesn't give a panel, what's going on?" Yi Xiao was unhappy, frowning and muttering to himself. After the current crisis, he finally had some free time to do other things, whether it's the next plan or why he ended up here, both need careful analysis.
He has a plan, yes... mostly just follow the actions and adjust as needed. However, Yi Xiao still can't understand why he ended up in this world. He doesn't daydream about crossing over, nor did he click "Yes or Yes." He just suddenly crossed over, and it's a crossover similar to an endless flow, though there's no time limit or danger of being erased. But he only got a vague hint of becoming famous.
"Ah." There's too little information to refer to, Yi Xiao sighed. He will definitely need to reach a conclusion about the research on supernatural forces in the real world. No clue can be overlooked. As for the possibility of not being able to return if he fails to achieve his goal, Yi Xiao doesn't want to think about it.
...
Yi Xiao has already learned most of the common spells. More advanced magic is not abundant in the pile of books he bought, but practical spells like Apparition and Memory Charm are available, and "The Transfiguration Textbook" is also in the stack.
"Scourgify," Yi Xiao extended his hand and tidied up the house, which was a mess from practicing magic. He looked at the beam of light emitted from his fingers, feeling conflicted. Any spell must be cast from the hand, although some are invisible magical waves, but this feeling is not good, like a different color version of the Killing Curse.
He considered whether to get the Elder Wand, even just for aesthetics. Otherwise, pointing and gesturing all the time would make him feel like a lich. In the future, he would rather use mental power to level up than point and gesture all the time.
Regarding mental power, Yi Xiao has also experimented. After taking off the ring, the power to easily move a bookshelf to the door was gone, and it became difficult to levitate a vase, but the power of the spells did not change.
It seems that although he has opened the application of mental power, his own mental power is still weak and needs the ring's enhancement. If he gets the Elder Wand, the power of the spells should be greatly increased.
This gives him another reason to get the Elder Wand. In the future, if he encounters something that can enhance his own mental power, he must not let it go. If it's a potion or some edible treasure, that would be even better. Yi Xiao decided to study movies and TV shows when he returns.
...
The only spell he hasn't mastered is the Animagus transformation. This spell is not necessary for escaping or killing, and Yi Xiao doesn't think he will be foolish enough to need such an escape. However, being able to transform into an animal and experience the animal's perspective is very interesting.
He heard that the first transformation is irrational and dangerous, and he doesn't know if his Law Body can handle it. Yi Xiao walked into the basement, turned on the camera, and prepared to learn the Animagus transformation.
Now, Yi Xiao spends his days repeatedly practicing spells, mastering the power of magic, and waiting for the right moment.
