Chương 111: Chapter 111: Promotion of the New Magic System
At Night
"Tom, how is your research on the rune version of the Severing Charm?" Lockhart wrote in Voldemort's Horcrux Notebook. "I have developed a rune version of the Crushing Charm."
"The effect is good. The magic power consumption is reduced by 30%, and the mental power needed is only half of the original."
As Lockhart wrote, he exuded dissatisfaction and disdain. It seemed that if the notebook did not yield results, it would be a waste.
Soon, a line of text appeared in the black notebook.
"Professor Lockhart, the rune version of the Severing Charm has been studied. I have experimented with it hundreds of times in the Soul Illusion Space, and there are absolutely no issues."
Seeing that the Horcrux mentioned the so-called soul illusion space again, Lockhart pretended not to notice and wrote, "Send the information to me. I will take a look first."
As he spoke, he poured half a bottle of potion into the notebook. When the potion came into contact with the notebook, it disappeared almost instantly, like rainwater soaking into dry earth. No trace of the potion was left on the page.
However, a large amount of text soon appeared on the notebook, written in elegant, clear handwriting, as if by a noble poet.
"The new version of the Severing Spell is based on Rune No. 68 - Cut."
"Effect: While maintaining the same power, the magic power consumption is reduced by about 20%, mental power consumption is reduced by 50%, and no strong destructive emotions are required."
"How to cast: draw the rune of Severing."
"Disadvantages: Need to draw the runes. Beginners are slow to cast and prone to failure."
Looking at the extensive research in his notebook, Lockhart nodded with satisfaction. Although the notebook's research speed was not as fast as his own, it was still acceptable.
He was currently working on a magic project: selecting the most commonly used spells in areas such as daily life, combat, and healing, and then researching new magic runes with similar effects. Lockhart's plan was to promote a new magic system, akin to how two software dominated the market in his previous life. The current situation was that one software essentially unified the entire market, and the software he was developing needed to break through.
Two things were crucial. First, the new magic system must have its highlights and occupy the minds of wizards. Like a certain brand in his previous life, which broke through by positioning itself as genuine.
Lockhart had already prepared for this. Magic in the Harry Potter world had certain requirements for magical blood, as seen in the titles of pure-blood, half-blood, and squib. Generally, the purer the magical bloodline, the better the magical talent and faster the cultivation speed. If the magic bloodline was too low, the magical talent would be extremely poor. Squibs could not cast spells at all, and some ordinary wizards could only cast general spells, unable to use those requiring more mental or magical power, even risking their lives if they tried.
The new magic system's most important feature was its low learning threshold, making it easy to master without requiring a strong bloodline. With hard practice, anyone could master advanced magic.
As for the shortcomings Tom mentioned, wizards in the Marvel world had already solved them. Lockhart modified these solutions to suit the wizards in the Harry Potter world. The second point was to reduce the replacement cost for wizards, enabling them to quickly adapt to the new magic system. Learning new magic was not difficult, but getting people to abandon what they had already learned was the real challenge. Some wizards were obsessed with powerful magic and would willingly learn if it met their needs. But most wizards had adapted to the current magic, making it hard to change their spell-casting habits and behavior, which would be greatly resisted unless enforced by force. But Lockhart's current strength made that impossible. Thus, he aimed to reduce their spell-casting replacement cost by imitating the original magic system and developing runes with the same effect but less magic power consumption and unique highlights. This approach was worth learning for ordinary wizards, similar to new energy vehicles in his previous life.
Most of the project was almost completed, thanks to Tom's significant contributions, which saved Lockhart a lot of time. Thinking of this, Lockhart took out a bottle of potion to restore magic power and poured it on the notebook. The notebook absorbed all the potion.
Lockhart pondered. He had poured about 10 bottles of potion into the notebook. For every three or four spells researched, Lockhart poured a bottle to encourage Tom. However, 10 bottles contained almost the magic power of 10 adult wizards. Lockhart worried that if the notebook's magic power reached a certain level and started to backfire, it would be disastrous. In his previous life, he knew that if a Horcrux absorbed enough life force, it would sacrifice it to the host and begin resurrection. But Lockhart was unsure if the potion had similar effects.
After considering, Lockhart wrote in his notebook, "Tom, prepare to open the soul illusion space."
Tom: "."
Merlin, Lockhart, a bastard who only knew how to exploit, finally couldn't help but come in. If he didn't find a chance to kill the man this time, all his hard work would be in vain, Tom thought.
After a moment of stunned silence, Tom quickly replied, "Okay, Professor Lockhart."
As he spoke, a dazzling white light emerged from the notebook, and Lockhart felt as if his body was being pulled, about to enter the notebook in the next second. Suddenly, there was a "boom!" The notebook suddenly closed. After a few seconds, Lockhart opened the notebook again.
Tom: "?"
Tom was in a daze, clearly confused about what had happened, and slowly typed a question mark. Immediately afterward, a line of text appeared: "Professor Lockhart, don't resist. I am pulling you into the soul illusion space. After entering, you can practice magic spells and do magic experiments without any damage. It's okay."
Lockhart saw all kinds of tempting words floating on the notebook. He watched for more than ten seconds, waiting for the notebook to stop showing any words, and then silently wrote: "Tom, don't worry, I will use my method to enter."
Tom: "?"
The soul in the notebook was unclear, but it felt a bad premonition.
Then, Lockhart leaned back in his chair, held the Sling Ring in his hand, calmed his mind, closed his eyes slightly, and visualized a mysterious, complex pattern in his heart. His spirit suddenly jumped.
"Astral body projection!"
