Capítulo 248: Modifying rituals
Nick shrugged "It came with the race , though I did have a choice to stay human but this is just too good to pass up in my opinion." he said seriously. "What else can you do thanks to your race? What about children? Will they also be a member of your new race?" Helena bombarded Nick with questions and he had to quickly stop her. "Besides immortality I only got three changes from when I was human. First is that all of my senses are extremely sharp now. Second is that I am technically able to magically walk without leaving a footprint or sinking into snow."-
"Finally I am very sensitive to spiritual matters now. As for children I am not a hundred percent sure on that one but they should in theory be the same race as me. That's everything important I think." he said and Helena looked like a kid in a candy store. "The immortal Ravenclaw clan , I like it." she said with a smile. "Enough about that I really need to modify these rituals for my plans so lets focus on that." he said but Helena shook her head. "Just give me a list of the rituals and I'll make the adjustments myself after I figure out what your races figures are." she said and Nick trusted her not to mess up and did so.-
She raised an eyebrow when she saw the list but didn't say anything about it as there wasn't anything wrong with his choices. She may have told him to add a ritual for strengthening the soul but his soul was already stronger than any wizard his age by miles so that wasn't necessary. Instead she began to run calculations with a quill and parchment as she looked at him carefully.-
Nick didn't know much about arithmancy but he could guess that deducing a new races magical nature with it was a difficult thing. If the rapid numbering and scribbling on the parchment she was writing on was anything to go by he wasn't wrong. Since this was clearly going to take awhile he chose to transfigure himself a chair and relaxed while pampering the definitely chunky niffler in his lap. The poor creature had been getting so many treats from various sources that he was in serious need of a diet as he was starting to get fat.-
This unfortunately made him seem even cuter so he ended up getting even more treats in what can only be described as a vicious cycle. Nick completely gave up on trying to save the niffler from the cycle as it was a pointless endeavor. About an hour later Helena finally finished her intense arithmancy deductions and complained about how hard it was. She of course double and triple checked to make sure she didn't miss anything but after verifying that it was all correct began to work on modifying the first ritual. She of course started with the simplest of the lot , the ritual of reflexes.-
For those who have forgotten this ritual gives one the reflexes of whatever they personally hunted with the more powerful creature to better the result. Nick had long since hunted down an acromantula for this purpose and was keeping the heart in preservative potion until he could conduct the ritual. Unfortunately he needed to wait since before he could conduct the ritual his body had started to transform. Now though he just needed to wait until the ritual was modified to his new race and he could preform it easily.-
It took much less time for Helena to modify the ritual to his new race since she apparently had done this before she died. It made sense really as during the founders time it was a lawless place for magic of all sort so rituals were regularly performed. She moved on to the next ritual which was the ritual of breath that allowed him to draw in magical energy by breathing. He was especially looking forward to this one as it would solve his issue with each forging attempt draining him of most of his mana. Once that was solved not only would his enchantments grow more powerful but he would also not feel so weak after his was done.-
Once that was done Helena started on the most complex of the rituals the ritual of nature. This was the ritual that needed to be preformed on Beltane in order to receive a huge boost in magical power. Nick already had one of the ingredients for it in the form of the acromantula fangs and poison glands. He planned on getting the second from the very large and dangerous snake living in the chamber of secrets. This was why he hadn't moved on the chamber yet as the wards Slytherin left required parseltongue to open.
Capítulo 249: Thinking of the future
Despite his gift of tongues allowing him to speak the language he had unfortunately not mastered the ability enough to actively control which language he spoke. Instead the ability automatically translated the language to english in his mind so that he doesn't even notice that it wasn't if he wasn't paying attention to the lip movements of the person speaking. Thankfully he could feel a slight shift in his magic when he himself starts speaking a different language. He was very slowly working on actively speaking other languages but it was hard to control to say the least , like mentally making your heart speed up or slow down.-
Sure it was possible but it required a level of absolute mental control that was borderline inhuman. Learning to write a new language was much easier in comparison as he could still visibly see the letters despite his ability translating them in his mind. At that point it was merely a matter of memorizing and familiarizing himself with the languages written word and he was good to go. His avian dominion ability was the only one that was untrainable as it was less ability and more a matter of hierarchy.-
While he waited for Helena to finish modifying the rituals Nick pondered the ring his should make in order to complete his mission from the system. 'I could make something to stop the basilisk's gaze but honestly speaking it wouldn't be hard to prevent the thing from using that ability at all. I just need to cover it's head with a bag or something else simple like that to render it ineffective. I always thought it funny how easy it was to deal with what was it's most dangerous feature without any real danger involved.' He thought with a chuckle.-
It was true as well since in order for the ability to come into effect eye contact was necessary in some manner or another. Completely prevent such a thing and the ability is rendered harmless for the most part. Obviously the giant snake wasn't just going to let you put a bag over it's head but there was a hundred different methods that could be used to accomplish this. 'If I wanted to really be cheap with it though I could just get a bunch of roosters and transfigure them into marbles before tossing them into the chamber the moment Riddle tries to open it killing the beast like that.' He thought shaking his head.-
It was rather hilarious how easy it was to deal with a basilisk once you knew you were facing one. 'Riddle though might be a bit of a problem since unlike his older self he isn't muddle headed with insanity. By this point he had most likely finished attaching himself to Ginny's lifeforce and had taken control of her to a degree. I could just wait until Harry gets the diary in order to snatch it but by that point there is no telling how things would prove themselves different from the books due to my presence.' Nick frowned at the thought.-
He couldn't be blamed either since he was able to admit that this version of Voldemort from before insanity clouded his mind was a tricky and intelligent individual. Such a person was very unlikely to just ignore the threat posed by someone just as talented in close proximity to themselves. While this version of Voldemort was arrogant much like his older self he was by no means arrogant to the point of incautiousness. This was proven when the attacks fifty years ago stopped after Hagrid was framed for them.-
Rather than continue to terrorize the school and risk getting found out by a Dumbledore who was far less passive than todays version he bid his time. The argument could of course be made that he had accomplished his goal and thus didn't need to continue the attacks but that begs the question , what was his goal? It definitely wasn't to get Hagrid kicked out of school as there were easier ways. It also couldn't have been to get Dumbledore kicked as well because he clearly failed if that was the case.-
'No. The best explanation was that he realized that Dumbledore was on his trail and chose to hide instead. Someone blinded by arrogance would never make such a move so I need to keep an eye out for any attack on myself.' Nick thought seriously which also gave him an idea for a defensive ring that he couldn't help but grin at. It was by far the craziest idea he had ever even considered outside the time he had tried to make a world ring and made something that erased a chunk of it instead.
