Chapter 490 Attack, Defense, Support, and Restriction! The Birth of the Four Academies' Inherit
The spirit of universal love was established after the completion of the Great Hall at Hogwarts.
For the next period of time, Dudley focused his work on developing the legacy magic for each of the four Hogwarts houses.
With all the teachers and students at Hogwarts having opened the doors to wisdom and understanding, Dudley expanded his magical research projects.
He announced this great magical topic to the entire school, inviting all teachers and students to brainstorm and contribute their ideas.
Of course, Dali still controls the dominant direction of the research.
Meanwhile, Grindelwald and Ecclesia's efforts to consolidate their power and expand the influence of dark wizards are progressing steadily according to plan.
Three months later.
Dudley controlled an avatar to deliver an ancient magic stone, which he had specifically sensed and searched for, to a saint who was extremely loyal to Grindelwald in a plausible manner.
Soon after, the Philosopher's Stone, crafted by an ancient wizard, was delivered to Grindelwald.
The materials for the dark magic ritual to restore youthful appearance had long been collected by the saints and handed over to Grindelwald.
Now that he had the Philosopher's Stone, Grindelwald immediately set to work, using it to convert into an elixir of immortality to extend his lifespan and replenish his life force.
With enough vitality to support him, he couldn't wait to set up a dark magic ritual and successfully transformed his body back to how he looked in his thirties.
That way, he could be paired with the current young version of Dumbledore.
This is true.
After this transformation through medication, Grindelwald appears to have been restored to a youthful state using a conceptual restoration spell.
However, the modifications could never compare to the original. Grindelwald's physical condition did not return to its peak, nor did his lost lifespan. He had to regularly drink longevity elixirs made from Philosopher's Stones to continuously extend his lifespan.
Just like Nicolas Flamel back then.
But without the aid of conceptual abilities, this is already the limit that magic and wizards can achieve.
Grindelwald has nothing to complain about for the time being.
He also used the same drug-induced transformation on several surviving old followers who had followed him since they were young, giving the current UMNO a number of very capable core members.
Just as Grindelwald was enjoying a smooth lifespan and becoming younger, and his power was steadily expanding.
At Hogwarts, after three months of collaborative research across the entire school, the inherited magic of the four Hogwarts houses was finally born in the hands of the meticulous Dudley.
[Gryffindor House Heritage Magic - Sword of Courage]
Mobilize your courage and will to fight, while simultaneously channeling magic to condense the magical construct of the Sword of Courage.
The Sword of Courage is an offensive magic spell with various magical effects and application modes.
It can be transformed into a magical flying sword controlled by thought. Before the magical configuration of the Sword of Courage dissipates, it continues to control the enemy target to carry out long-range attacks from all directions and angles, whether slashing or piercing, appearing and disappearing unpredictably and impossible to defend against.
Being struck by the Sword of Courage will not only damage the body, causing magical wounds that are difficult to heal, but will also inflict trauma on the soul.
The courage and fighting spirit condensed in the Sword of Courage will form a direct mental attack spell, wounding the spirit and soul of the enemy target.
In addition, the Sword of Courage can vibrate in mid-air, emitting a sharp sword cry. This sound can be used by the caster to distinguish friend from foe, inspiring the fighting spirit of allies and creating a terrifying psychological deterrent for the enemy, thus crushing their will to fight.
Of course, the Sword of Courage can also be used in melee combat, whether held in the free hand or wrapped around one's wand to form a wand-sword.
Transform the wizard into a swordsman, unleash his sword skills, and experience the thrill of being a sword saint.
Mental attacks and physical magical attacks can both be performed, but this places higher demands on the caster.
Wizards, who have always focused on ranged attacks, rarely have the ability to master this melee combat mode.
For wizards with high magical skill, profound spellcasting techniques, and sufficient courage, learning the inherited magic - Sword of Courage - allows them to condense and control multiple magical swords, with complete control over their shape, strength, and size.
If necessary, the Sword of Courage can be remotely detonated to launch indiscriminate energy and mental attacks within the blast radius.
[Hufflepuff Academy Legacy Magic - Unwavering Loyalty]
Mobilize your own power of loyalty, kindness, and protection, while simultaneously channeling magic to create a protective shield of loyalty.
Loyalty Shield is a defensive magic spell, and its effects are only two: defense and reflection.
Its shape resembles an inverted, giant, translucent gold cup, providing all-around, comprehensive protection for targets.
It can cover the entire target, and even the ground beneath its feet has a transparent protective barrier that does not affect the target's movement.
It can not only defend against physical kinetic energy attacks and various black and white magical energies, but also resist various direct or indirect curses and mental attacks.
Furthermore, it does not prevent the protected target from casting other spells on the outside world, and in a defensive state, it can also reflect some attacks.
Of course, whether a complete defense can be achieved depends on the relative strength of the attacker and defender. How much of an attack can be deflected depends on the skill of the spellcaster.
The strength and methods here must take into account the power of the mind.
If the spellcaster has enough loyalty, kindness, and a protective heart, he can easily resist and deflect attacks from wizards whose magical abilities far surpass his.
In addition, the inherited magic - Shield of Loyalty can not only protect the caster, but also be cast on others. It can even be used in multiple instances, simultaneously creating multiple Shields of Loyalty to protect different targets.
However, this would weaken the defensive power of Loyal Shield, making it less effective than when used alone.
You can also enlarge the Loyal Shield, opening one shield to protect multiple targets, but just like before, if the shield is opened too wide, its defensive power will decrease.
Ravenclaw's Legacy Magic - Crown of Wisdom
By harnessing one's own wisdom and the spirit of seeking knowledge, while simultaneously manipulating magic, one can condense the magical configuration of the crown of wisdom.
The Crown of Wisdom is a support magic that can temporarily increase the mental activity and combat intelligence of the target being supported. Most importantly, it allows the target to perform dual casting and enhances the power of the spell.
Normally, when a wizard casts a spell, it's done one spell at a time.
Even if a skilled wizard can cast spells quickly and silently without a wand, there is still a sequence to the spells they cast.
With this crown of wisdom magic above his head, not only does his intelligence temporarily dominate, but he can also actually cast two spells simultaneously, and the power of the spells cast will be enhanced, as will the two spells cast at the same time.
Of course, there are some special considerations involved.
Dudley has fully developed it; the Crown of Wisdom can only allow wizards to cast spells twice at most, not three or more times.
This is similar to how the clone magic can only create a maximum of three clones; it's the limit of magic in this world, unless you use conceptual power to cheat.
However, dual casting can be divided into casting two identical spells at the same time, and casting two completely different spells at the same time.
The former has lower requirements for the spellcaster who constructs the crown of knowledge, while the latter has higher requirements.
At the same time, the more intelligent and studious a spellcaster is, and the more profound their magical cultivation, the more temporary combat wisdom and spell power bonuses they can enhance by constructing a Crown of Wisdom.
[Slytherin House Legacy Magic - The Box of Ambition]
Mobilize your ambition and desires, while simultaneously channeling magic to condense the magical configuration of the Ambition Treasure Chest.
The Ambition Treasure Chest is a type of restrictive or sealing magic. It can imprison a target in a treasure chest constructed of magical energy, rendering the target unable to resist and turning them into a prisoner.
The targets here can be wizards, magical creatures, or other living beings, or they can be ghosts, troublesome cursed energies, black magic items, and so on.
Similarly, the extent to which it can imprison and restrict, and how much resistance it can reduce the imprisoned target, depends on how effective the spellcaster who created the Ambition Treasure Chest is.
The greater the ambition that a spellcaster can control and mobilize through their own will, the stronger their magical skills, the more outstanding their ability to seal and restrict in the Ambition Treasure Box they construct, and the longer it can be maintained.
Attack, defense, support, restriction.
Each of the four academies has its own area of expertise in inherited magic.
The effects it produces encompass the realm of mental magic, but are not limited to it.
Extremely practical!
Because the entire school collaborated and pooled their wisdom, and everyone had a foundation, the four types of inherited magic were quickly taught and popularized after their creation.
At the very least, the simplified version of the Four Academies' inherited magic should be able to achieve 100% widespread adoption in the short term.
In other words, first-year students have a weak foundation in magical knowledge, making it relatively more difficult for them to learn.
In addition, there is one very important point.
No one restricts students to learning only the academy's inherited magic.
Ambitious students can certainly try to learn and master all four types of inherited magic.
Like Dudley, courage is the sword that flies everywhere, loyalty is the shield that protects him, wisdom is the crown on his head, and he can summon the treasure chest of ambition at will.
Mastering all four is probably unrealistic for most Hogwarts students.
Courage can be cultivated, and wisdom can be acquired.
Loyalty and goodness are important, but because the four ideological standards are relatively lenient, not all students currently meet them. However, it is believed that the system will continue to grow and develop in the future.
But ambition and desire are things that really shouldn't be forced.
It's already quite good that the Hufflepuff badgers are motivated to learn magic and improve their strength. We can't force them to develop enough ambition to study the Ambition Box.
However, it is still possible to ensure that every student at Hogwarts masters two types of inherited magic.
It is now early April 1993. There are still three months left in the school year, and I believe that such a grand occasion will be achieved by then.
Achieving the reward conditions for the SS-level special regret event - The Lost Treasures of the Founder of Hogwarts, and the second-stage mission - Spiritual Inheritance, will definitely be faster.
