Kapitel 206: Chapter 205 "Ether Matters And The Black Portal"
Skyler might be the sole individual in the contemporary world capable of deciphering the chaotic and irregular curves within the book "The Fifth Element."
His foray into one of the wizarding world's most mysterious domains, space magic, commenced with the book "The Mystery of Space" located in Ravenclaw's Chamber of Secrets.
Later, he personally encountered the Vanishing Cabinet, possessing a fully functional pair—one placed in Malfoy Manor and the other in his portable suitcase space.
While traversing through the Vanishing Cabinet, Skyler unveiled the secret of space magic, acknowledged as one of the most closely guarded mysteries in the magical realm—the void space, or Limbo.
As elucidated earlier, the term "empty space" pertains to the void between spaces, devoid of light, sound, and the passage of time. Magical disembodiment involves utilizing this void space to connect two transmission points. The transmission route can be established through thoughts (Apparition), pre-linked magical pathways (Floo Network, Vanishing Cabinet), or guidance to the location of an anchored object (a door key).
Upon entering the Vanishing Cabinet, Skyler didn't hastily emerge; instead, he calmly allowed his spirit and soul to immerse in the process of disembodiment gradually. As anticipated, he successfully entered the concealed cavern nestled between the two entrances and exits of the Vanishing Cabinet—an empty space.
He couldn't ascertain if anyone else in the world had managed such a feat. Still, one certainty lingered: no one else could derive as much insight from it as he could.
He possessed magical eyes.
In the void space, the conventional five senses of sight, smell, and hearing were rendered entirely ineffective. Yet, through Skyler's magical eyes, he witnessed a unique spectacle—an entire void space brimming with a distinct energy detached from the world. This energy manifested in chaotic and irregular curves, bearing a striking resemblance to the ghostly drawings found in the book "The Fifth Element."
This revelation suggested that centuries ago, Paracelsus had indeed deduced the existence of forces beyond the confines of "reality."
The elusive fifth element, "Ether," is, in reality, the elemental building block constituting the void space!
Skyler's eyebrows subtly shifted as he focused on the dotted lines in the book, intricately making gestures in the air with his fingers.
After a while, the tips of his fingers emitted a faint warmth. He sensed a peculiar energy, yet couldn't materialize it, as if this energy existed beyond the confines of this dimension or space.
Closing his eyes, Skyler meticulously retraced the steps of materializing the four elements. His initiation into elemental magic transpired prior to his enrollment in school, delving into the secret lore of the Rosier family at Druella's house. Boasting a quarter of the Rosier bloodline, his innate talents resonated effortlessly with the elements.
This persisted until he encountered Ms. Vinda Rosier. After acquiring Grindelwald's elemental ring from Vinda, his proficiency in elemental magic soared, enabling him to restore the elements to their primal forms, unleashing their utmost potential. Yet, a lingering sense of having overlooked something nagged at his consciousness.
With a snap of his fingers, four small orbs of light materialized around his head, exhibiting vibrant red, blue, yellow, and green hues. They exuded a simplistic sense of autonomy, playfully swirling around him.
Another snap, and the light orbs metamorphosed into four diamond-shaped crystals, each engraved with runic symbols representing "fire," "water," "wind," and "earth." Note that runes, a generic term in this context, encompass symbol-based text systems used in occultism for secretive communication among scholars in the shadows, extending beyond the more familiar Germanic and Celtic runic systems in the Nordic regions.
Currently, the runic symbols adorning the crystals differ from the ancient runic symbols Skyler previously employed, such as "Kaunaz" (fire), "Laguz" (water), "Jera" (wind), and "Othala" (land).
These symbols now take on a simpler form, consisting of triangles and straight lines. Even accomplished students in the NEWT advanced class of "Ancient Rune Studies" might struggle to identify the origin of these unassuming graphics.
Recognizing these symbols would be plausible for individuals like Dumbledore, Nicolas Flamel, or other alchemists versed in ancient alchemy.
These symbols have roots in the ancient Greek practices of alchemy, commonly associated with the Seal of Solomon. In the Muggle realm, numerous legends surround Solomon's signet ring.
One prevalent tale suggests that during King Solomon's reign, he amassed immense wealth through successful commerce and the plundering of other nations, reaching unimaginable proportions.
Legend has it that King Solomon, renowned for his immense wealth, was believed to have acquired it through dealings with the devil. The tale suggests that Solomon possessed a magical ring known as the "Solomon's Seal Ring," featuring an engraved six-pointed star.
This star supposedly harnessed the ring's power, containing Asmodeus, the king of demons, within. As a result, Solomon could exercise control over Asmodeus and command other demons to serve him.
The symbol on Solomon's signet ring, a six-pointed star, is commonly referred to as the Star of David, David's Star, or Jewish Star, recognized in Jewish culture. In modern Muggle society, it has become a symbol representing Jewish heritage.
Wizards have long manipulated Muggle history, with figures like the Archmage Merlin being active in the eleventh century, despite a Muggle author crafting a legend about him in the ninth century.
This historical manipulation falls under the purview of the Ministry of Magic's memory editors, shaping narratives to align with wizarding agendas. A similar approach has been taken with the historical accounts of King Solomon.
Similar to Merlin, King Solomon was, in reality, a formidable wizard. However, over the years following his death, societal and religious shifts led to the distortion of his story, gradually transforming it into the Muggle world's widely circulated "history."
Contrary to the myth of Solomon's ring driving demons or devils, it was, in fact, an alchemical tool. The ring symbolized the most primitive form of alchemy, the precursor to the Philosopher's Stone, aimed at transmuting stone into gold—the true origin of King Solomon's wealth.
Four diamond-shaped crystals hover around Skyler, each emitting a distinct brilliance. With a snap of his fingers, each crystal projects a straight line of light, interconnecting with the others. Strangely, when connected, these lines form not a square but a five-pointed star.
A subtle smile plays on Skyler's lips – "I finally figured out the answer to all these questions. I got you!"
Skyler focused his entire mind, crafting lines of "ether" in the air. As his fingers warmed this time, a peculiar ball of light materialized in the mid-air.
"The Fifth Element" merely outlined the "ether" lines, leaving Skyler without guidance for the subsequent steps. Frustrating! Having come this far, he couldn't let his efforts go to waste.
Aware that the light ball marked only the initial phase of materializing the elements, Skyler grappled with the challenge of transforming it into a rhombus crystal inscribed with representative symbols. But on the brink of the final step, uncertainty clouded his path.
"What should I do?! This is way complicated than I thought it would be; even if I focus my hundred percent on this while using the basic principle from Aetherform to try and control it, it just won't work the way I want it to!"
As Skyler exerted considerable effort to sustain the magic circle's operation and prevent its collapse, his mind raced, calculating myriad possibilities like the most advanced computer. Beads of sweat formed on his forehead in this intense moment.
After 15 minutes, Skyler rapidly reviewed the contents of the books from the four major families in his mind, finding no useful information.
As half an hour passed, Skyler's arm, the one outlining the "ether," began to tremble. He had quickly gone through Ravenclaw's book collection mentally, yielding no useful insights.
Forty-five minutes into the process, Skyler's intense focus on maintaining the magic circle and performing ultra-high-frequency calculations took a toll, leaving his face pallid. He exhaustively reviewed the contents of Hogwarts' library and the books obtained from various professors and friends, finding no valuable information.
Skyler closed his eyes and attempted to alleviate the dizziness creeping into his head.
He didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered some memory fragments from his previous life. They were all scattered memory passages, about adventure, about Harry Potter, about mysticism...
Thanks to his previous life, He is a senior occult enthusiast. The most mainstream legend is that when King Solomon was in power, he gained a large amount of wealth by developing commerce and plundering other countries, and the amount reached an incredible level. Therefore, it was said in later generations that his wealth was brought to him by driving the devil. Legend has it that King Solomon had a magic ring called "Solomon's Seal Ring," which was engraved with a six-pointed star that drove the ring's power. Skyler opened his eyes. What he didn't know at that moment was that his pupils had turned completely green!
He snapped his fingers again. The light ball representing "ether" seemed to be touched by something and slowly began to transform. The ball of light twisted around for a while and finally turned into a diamond-shaped crystal.
This crystal, twice the size of the others, bore a dark green pattern.
"Return to your place," Skyler softly urged, and the crystal obediently floated to its designated spot in the empty corner of the five-pointed star.
As the ether completed the star, a dazzling light erupted from the lines, causing the entire figure to spin rapidly, transforming into a swirling black hole.
Wide-eyed, Skyler recognized it from his previous life – the same whirlpool black hole he encountered in Tibet, the mysterious force that facilitated his transition to this world.
Mysterious sounds emanated from the black hole, unfamiliar and otherworldly. Cold sweat formed on Skyler's forehead.
"Is this going to be another journey through dimension once again?" Skyler thought to himself as he scrutinized the portal.
