Felix stared at the golden rune orb, and it looked like he had succeeded.
He had succeeded in recovering ancient magic, the zooming spell, which is truly a remarkable achievement, worthy of a special book, he could even write an autobiography based on it, or be honored as a celebrity in the Chocolate Frog card series.
But the question is, is this thing really a zooming spell?
Felix had never seen or heard of such a skeletal sphere structure in the spell materials he received before, and as far as he knew, neither Filius did, who, worked with a former professor of ancient rune, and managed to recover the earliest version of the zooming spell, well, a discounted one.
Felix did not suspect anything was amiss before, because the ancient magic he had learned consisted of a flat template of runes as well, and he believed Filius was no different.
The two had even discussed whether they should try to make the Pattern flatter …
As for tonight, it happened by chance that he stripped the traces of modern magic in a special state, and then allowed it to adjust and grow on its own, as a result, it became more crooked and distorted, and finally became a ball.
Perhaps his biggest gain is in fact the discovery of a more stable structure for runes?
Felix looked at the magic rune ball in his hand and got itchy to try it out, he especially wanted to find a test subject right now to try out what this thing could do and whether it is a zooming spell or not. But the only creature standing in front of him is Hermione. He did not want to do anything that he could not handle easily.
Flobberworm with scabies reminded him how terrible the consequences were once he had an accident.
What’s more, even without these concerns, he could not guarantee what the little witch would become when she touched the golden rune ball, whether she would grow into a fifty-meter-tall giant or shrink into a thumb-sized flower fairy?
It might even be more hunting to unfold …
Although he did become curious, he did a good job suppressing the urges, and there are quite a few creatures in the Forbidden Forest to satisfy his desire and need for testing.
Professor Filius’s advice to him remained valid.
“Professor? May I touch it?” Hermione asked curiously, the longing in her eyes overflowing.
“I don’t think so.” Felix said with a stern face, and seeing the young witch show a disappointed expression, he explained, “At the moment I’m not sure how it works, and I’m worried about irreversible consequences.”
After thinking about it, Felix conveyed a scattered consciousness towards the golden rune ball. As a result, the rune ball silently melted into a golden liquid and flowed inside his body.
This makes him greatly surprised, Felix almost immediately took all means to examine the state of his body – the result is all normal.
So he tentatively mobilized this magic, his right hand began to glow, and as he stared at his palm, a light blue halo that looked like a vortex appeared.
Felix slightly injected a trace of magic, a huge suction force came out of the vortex, and the office immediately became a mess.
He hurriedly stopped and decided to wait to find a more suitable environment before trying.
But in any case, he had realized the extraordinary nature of this magic, probably far beyond his expectations.
Hermione is also taken aback, she felt like she had just been sucked into the light blue vortex, and panicked for a moment.
Felix reassured her: “Do not worry, I can control it very well.”
He dispersed his magic and said in a relaxed tone, “All in all, there was a pleasant surprise for me tonight. I have mastered a magic by chance, which is a good thing. But we’ve strayed from the subject, so let me see what you’ve done.”
He waved his wand, causing the parchment and quills all over the floor, the crooked table to return to its place, from which Hermione saw three golden, walnut-sized Sneakoscopes.
The same Sneakoscope she had just seen on Tuesday of this week.
“Is this … that Sneakoscope that can target a specific person?”
Felix glanced at it, “That’s right, commissioned by someone, maybe you’ll see it again in a few days.”
“In a few days, I will see … again,” Hermione mulled over the meaning of that statement.
If it involved targeting a specific person, all she could think of is …
“Sirius Black?” She asked in surprise.
Felix sighed in mock surprise, “Well, I’m not the one who voluntarily revealed it, Headmaster Dumbledore wouldn’t let me tell. You pretend you don’t know, deal?”
Hermione pursed her lips and smiled, “Deal.” She then asked, “Can I tell Harry?”
“Oh, no, I don’t know how Dumbledore would arrange these Sneakoscopes,” Felix explained.
Maybe Dumbledore would just give the Sneakoscope to Harry to keep him on guard, maybe he would secretly hang it in his dorm room, or maybe he would simply hang the three Sneakoscopes at different entrances to Hogwarts …
In any case, Felix is only responsible for making the Sneakoscopes, not responsible for using them, nor does he care how they are used. Dumbledore will arrange it all.
Felix picked up what Hermione had finished on the chestnut sheet, “Excellent, it really looks like you’ve completely mastered the rune circuits on the beaded pouch.”
“Can I learn the new content?”
“Of course, you are fully qualified for that now.” Felix leaned on the edge of the table and rubbed his chin as he said.
“Then … Professor, do you have any suggestions?”
“Although it’s not wrong to continue learning new runes or rune circuits, I think it’s best to teach you to discover the power of an individual rune first, which will help you better understand the entire rune system – something I’ve been thinking about recently.”
“The power of an individual rune?”
Felix explained, “Yes, remember what I mentioned? When magic runes were first discovered, it was because they could store magic power for a short time and transform it into magical effects.”
“This means that a single magic rune represents a part of the magic as well, and it’s not as simple as just being written on a chestnut sheet and waiting to be linked into a rune circuit and made into a rune creation.”
“If that’s true, then what’s the difference between runes and alchemical symbols?”
Hermione thought for a moment and said, “Professor, if I understand correctly, each magic rune I master represents … a magic?”
She couldn’t help but count on her fingers how many magic runes she had mastered, and it added up to almost one hundred. If the assumption held true, she had mastered a hundred magics without realizing it?
The magic she had learned now isn’t even a hundred!
She could have mastered even more runes if not for repairing the beaded pouch by hand.
“It’s not that exaggerated.” Felix laughed dumbly, “In my opinion, a single magic rune is just a kind of pattern that carries magic power. The so-called magical effect in most cases is the kind of simple glowing, heat, no practical use. But it is certainly not without exception -”
He pronounced an obscure sound, and a soft white light bloomed from the palm of his hand.
“This magic rune, you’re seeing right now, means light. It can replace the Wand-Lighting Charm, and it will be useful in the event that you do not have a Wand on hand.”
