Chapter 43: 43: Self-Created Spells

"What... what just happened?"

"It suddenly got super bright!"

The group of young wizards was in a state of confusion, but Ivan ignored the commotion. He turned to Professor Flitwick and calmly explained, "So, by doing this, for a brief moment, a blindingly bright light burst forth, enough to hurt the eyes."

"..."

Flitwick stared at Ivan, utterly dumbfounded. He felt as though he was dealing with an impostor, not a normal first-year student.

Is this something a young wizard should be figuring out?!

What is magic, really?

Magic is not energy, and there's no conventional wisdom that suggests pouring more magic into a spell will increase its strength.

The true force behind magic comes from emotions—specifically, the caster's state of mind.

The more intense the emotions, like anger or desperation, the stronger the magic becomes.

The concept of "ten times the magic power" that Ivan mentioned was akin to using ten times the force to lift a stone. Because of the excess force, the stone would fly uncontrollably.

"Oh, little Ivan…"

Flitwick, who now fully grasped what Ivan was experimenting with, was deeply concerned.

"This is incredibly dangerous! You... how can you alter the magic of a spell so recklessly?"

"No, wait—how did you even manage to change the spell's magic in the first place?"

Flitwick couldn't wrap his head around it.

You have to understand, most wizards in this world can't actually sense magic itself—only a select few can.

Flitwick wasn't entirely sure how to define this "select few," as he didn't realize how crucial the "soul" attribute was in perceiving magic.

To put it simply, wizards in this world cast spells based purely on instinct or intuition.

But what about Ivan?

Because his soul was far more advanced than the average person's, Ivan could feel the connection between a spell and the magic behind it while casting.

It was as if Ivan could assess the magic of the Illumination Spell and determine that its "standard magic power" was 1.

Through constant and precise practice, Ivan absorbed a wide array of spells, comparing the differences between them.

In this way, Ivan honed his control over magic power by relying on a near-perfect "instinct" and "intuition," allowing him to alter how magic manifested in his spells.

"By Merlin's Beard! You are incredibly brave!" Professor Flitwick exclaimed.

Professor Flitwick was well aware of the delicate relationship between magic power and spells, which was considered a highly advanced theory in the study of spellcasting.

Wizards in the wizarding world can be roughly divided into four stages: young wizards, adult wizards, magic masters, and great magicians.

These stages reflect a wizard's understanding and mastery of magic, not necessarily their strength, status, or power.

For instance, Nicolas Flamel was a great magician.

But due to his old age, Flamel's magical power had waned, making it difficult for him to cast more powerful spells.

Similarly, most of the magic masters around the world either teach as professors at various magical institutions or retreat into their laboratories, continuing their solitary exploration of magical mysteries.

Luna's mother, Pandora, was a magic master specializing in spells.

Pandora loved to study various spells, and what she delved into was exactly what Ivan was now experimenting with—exploring how spells change when the strength of the magic behind them is altered.

This kind of research is incredibly dangerous. A single mistake could lead to magic spiraling out of control.

Pandora, in fact, lost her life during a spell experiment.

"You—you dare to conduct such research without taking any proper precautions!"

Flitwick's whole body trembled with fear, and the emotional, short professor nearly teared up from worry.

He didn't know whether to call Ivan bold and reckless or ignorant and fearless.

But Ivan had succeeded.

"I'll be more careful in the future."

"In the future?!"

Flitwick was about to say something more, but Ivan quickly interjected, "Professor, why don't you take a look at the results of my research?"

Ivan wouldn't have risked experimenting with the changes in magic power within spells without having full confidence in his abilities.

After all, Ivan was an Obscurialist—a wizard capable of harnessing and controlling an Obscurus.

Even if the magic truly went out of control, Ivan could merge with the Obscurus in an instant to avoid any danger.

The vitality and resilience of the Obscurus were astonishing.

In the state of the black storm, even if Ivan were blown to pieces, he could recover through whatever part of his body remained.

Even if Ivan couldn't react in time, the Obscurus would automatically protect him from harm.

It's similar to how Gaara's sand works in Naruto.

The Obscurus is a parasitic entity. It lacks self-awareness but has independent emotions and can sense danger.

With these dual layers of protection, Ivan had no fear.

"In the future, yes, hehe.. ehm. Professor. I've also experimented with constructed something out of scratch."

"This..."

Flitwick, however, remained deeply curious.

Seeing this, Ivan smiled slightly and waved his wand. "Lux in via praemisit!"

This was a spell Ivan had created at the beginning of the school year. It summoned a glowing ball of golden light that floated ahead, leaving a trail of shimmering footprints to show the path clearly—The one he had used when arriving behind Hagrid.

"Oh, what a beautiful spell transformation, absolutely brilliant!"

Although he had advised Ivan to be cautious, Professor Flitwick couldn't help but get excited, almost bouncing with joy when he saw the magic—a fusion of multiple spells.

"It translates to Light up the way ahead!"

Ivan briefly explained the principles of the spell to Flitwick.

With Flitwick's deep knowledge of spells, it didn't take long for him to understand the essence of Ivan's magic.

The spell Lux in via praemisit wasn't particularly difficult, and with Flitwick's mastery of spellcraft, it would only take him a few days to master it fully, possibly controlling it even better than Ivan.

There was nothing unusual about this.

The experience of a Hogwarts professor far surpasses that of Ivan at this stage.

Ivan's advantage lies in his 5 points of magic and soul, which serve as the foundation for his creativity.

"If you adjust the magic power and keep it around 3, focusing on more efficient utilization, it turns into something like this."

"Firefly Glimmer!"

As Ivan spoke, the students initially noticed no changes around them.

Class was actually over at this point, but none of the young wizards wanted to leave.

The Gryffindor students gazed at Ivan with admiration.

With their "Lion King" present, how could they just walk out?

As for the Ravenclaws, it was their thirst for knowledge driving them—they were eager to witness the birth of more unique magic from Ivan.

"Professor, could you help me with something?" Ivan asked, seeing that Flitwick was also puzzled.

"Could you make the room darker?"

"Oh, of course."

With a wave of his wand, Flitwick shut all the windows tightly, blocking any remaining sunlight from entering.

Yet, despite the darkened room, the desks, chairs, floor, and decorations began emitting a soft, blue glow.

The light was gentle and mystical, causing the young witches to gasp in awe, as if they'd been transported to a fairytale world.

Even Professor Flitwick was impressed by the magic's effect. "Incredible understanding and transformation," he remarked. "Though the required magic power has increased, you've managed to distribute it across the entire room."

____

A/N: In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Credence Barebone is an example of a wizard who became an Obscurial (the person hosting the Obscurus) but showed remarkable control over the Obscurus, more so than typical Obscurials. However, the series doesn't provide a specific name for someone who can fully control an Obscurus, so Obscurialist seems a fitting term based on the lore.

Chapter 44: 44: I'm Famous

"How did you come up with this idea, Ivan?"

"This was inspired by a Muggle amusement park," Ivan replied.

"Amusement park?" Professor Flitwick tilted his head, clearly unfamiliar with the term.

But his lack of understanding didn't stop him from admiring Ivan's creativity.

Including the original Illumination Charm, this was the third new spell Ivan had developed based on the same concept.

With such talent on display, Flitwick couldn't help but ask eagerly, "Ivan, would you be willing to share the secrets of these spells with others?"

Flitwick's ethics as a teacher were impeccable. If Ivan considered these spells to be his exclusive creations, the professor wouldn't push for an explanation.

He would only explore the spell if Ivan willingly shared its details and allowed others to learn it.

"Of course!" Ivan's answer surprised Flitwick. He responded casually, "These spells aren't dangerous. They're just like other spells—only they're new."

"Perhaps the firefly spell might be a bit tricky to learn," Ivan added, glancing at the other students, especially Hermione. "But if anyone's interested, feel free to ask me privately."

"I—I want to learn!" Hermione exclaimed enthusiastically.

"That firefly spell is so beautiful!" another student chimed in.

"Ivan, how did you even come up with it? It's amazing!"

For a moment, several Ravenclaw girls crowded in front of Ivan, their admiration clear.

When it comes to beautiful things, even a spell can captivate and draw attention, especially when it comes from a genius like Ivan, who seemed to shine like a beacon in the dark. His charm was irresistible, attracting their curiosity.

"Ugh..."

Only Hermione, who had been pushed aside, stood there fuming. Her eyes were full of dissatisfaction as she glared at the others: 'I was here first! Get away from my Ivan!'

Fortunately, Professor Flitwick intervened and cleared the students away just in time, leaving Ivan alone, as he clearly had something to discuss with him.

"Ivan, have you heard of the wizarding magazine The Future of Spells?" Flitwick asked.

"Uh..." Ivan thought for a moment. "I've seen it in a bookstore, but I haven't read it."

"This is a publication dedicated to people worldwide who enjoy studying spells. It holds the same status in spell theory as 'Transfiguration Today' holds in Transfiguration," Flitwick explained.

Flitwick then suggested that Ivan publish his research on the three new spells in The Future of Spells. "Of course, this is just my suggestion," he added.

"I'd be happy to!" Ivan responded. He wasn't the type to hoard magic for himself. Unless a spell was extremely important or needed to be kept secret, he saw no reason to withhold it.

And these three spells were certainly not in that category.

Rather than keep them to himself, Ivan felt it would be better to share them openly.

Firstly, publishing the spells would enhance Ivan's reputation. Secondly, it would also earn him a reward from 'The Future of Spells'.

Most importantly, it would help Ivan expand his network and build good relationships with world-renowned magic masters.

After all, who wouldn't admire a talented and generous young wizard?

During lunch, Professor Flitwick invited Ivan to the Great Hall, where they discussed the three spells and the finer details of getting them published.

This scene naturally caught the attention of many students.

The older students didn't recognize Ivan; they only knew that he was a new student assigned to Gryffindor. However, the first-year students from the three Houses—Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff—quickly shared news of Ivan's latest achievements.

"I know him! Ivan Ambrosius!" said a first-year Hufflepuff enthusiastically at the House table, recounting Ivan's impressive performance in Herbology class to the older students.

"He protected us," the student continued. "He just raised his hand and told the mandrake to be 'quiet,' and it stopped crying immediately."

"I also heard he used three spells of his own creation in the Charms class," added another, recalling the demonstration Ivan gave in Flitwick's lesson. "Including that one spell he used to lead us when we arrived at school!"

"That's incredible! Is he really just a first-year wizard?" marveled a senior Hufflepuff.

Meanwhile, at the Ravenclaw table, the first-year students were also buzzing about the Charms class.

"He can already create new spells, and we've only just started school! Look over there," said one of the excited Ravenclaws, pointing to Ivan and Flitwick having lunch together. "I've never seen Professor Flitwick talk to a first-year student during lunch like that before!"

Compared to other Houses, Ravenclaw students have a deep admiration for wise individuals.

They take pride in their intelligence, and Professor Flitwick, being one of the best, is a source of great respect for them.

But now?

Seeing Professor Flitwick's expression when speaking with Ivan—his excitement so palpable that he seemed ready to break into a celebratory dance—made it clear just how remarkable Ivan was!

On the Gryffindor side, a crowd had gathered.

"I-I haven't talked with him.. much.. I.." Neville sat with red cheeks, feeling quite overwhelmed.

Being Ivan's roommate had suddenly made him the center of attention, and everyone was bombarding him with questions.

But how could Neville know anything?

Even if he did, his shy and introverted nature meant he wouldn't have the confidence to share.

"Hmph, that's Ivan, he is…"

Hermione, sitting nearby, saw everyone letting Neville off the hook and spoke up, clearly a little displeased.

"He's what?"

Seeing that Hermione seemed to know more, the older Gryffindor students quickly gathered around her, eager to extract any useful information.

Gryffindor loved heroic tales after all.

Ivan had performed spectacularly, and the young lions were eager to celebrate their newfound hero.

"..."

Hermione paused for a moment, remembering the truth behind Ivan's identity.

Ambrosius, the Eternal Family, the immortal descendant, the heir of Merlin.

These titles were far too dazzling. Hermione didn't want Ivan to stand out too much, so she carefully chose her words, avoiding the key details and didn't reveal Ivan's true identity.

"Tsk."

Meanwhile, over at the Slytherin table, the atmosphere was tense and quiet, a stark contrast to the excitement and admiration at the other three tables.

The praise and admiration for Ivan grated on the Slytherins' ears.

A mudblood from the Muggle world had already created and enhanced multiple spells, as soon as he entered Hogwarts. Why?!

The older Slytherin students might not have openly voiced their displeasure, but they were undoubtedly unhappy.

Normally, the Slytherins took pride in their superiority, but now this mudblood was stealing all the attention and praise.

Ivan's exceptional performance felt like a slap in the face to those pure-bloods who believed family lineage and heritage were paramount.

"Ambrosius—have you ever heard of that family in the wizarding world?"

Malfoy, still bitter from the 'lesson' Ivan had taught him on the train, didn't dare provoke him directly, but he couldn't resist belittling him in private.

However, even Malfoy had to admit that Ivan was truly remarkable.

Malfoy was arrogant, attention-seeking, and always liked being in the spotlight, but he wasn't blind to the gap between himself and Ivan.

In the original story, Malfoy had a love-hate relationship with Harry. Aside from their initial rivalry, the most significant reason was that, in Malfoy's eyes, Harry wasn't living up to his "savior" reputation.

Compared to the legend of the Boy Who Lived, after meeting him in person, Harry seemed to Malfoy like just a lucky boy with a scar.

The same thing was happening with Ivan in Malfoy's own little twisted world.

Malfoy, who had not yet experienced the humbling lessons life could offer, refused to admit that Ivan might actually be better than him.
