Chapter 186 Silent Curse
In the next half hour, the members of the Charms Club worked hard to practice silent spells, and several people had successfully used spells without making a sound.
Of course, there are also a small number of people who choose to cheat and chant curses quietly so that others think they have succeeded.
However, nothing useful will be learned by doing this.
Albert has succeeded several times, but he himself has realized that it is difficult for him to successfully complete the luminous spell with just one thought and one wand movement.
The magical power enhanced by the wizard's blood cannot enhance one's probability of success in this regard, and even silent spells cannot be found on the skill panel.
Silent spell is a spell-casting technique, not a spell. If you want to learn and use it skillfully, you need to practice it yourself. This is a very difficult process.
One's own will is the key to determine whether the silent spell can be successful. This process requires the user to be highly concentrated.
Some people say that magic is idealism, but this is actually not wrong.
“Magic is a miracle created by the will’s distortion of reality.”
Albert still remembered that he had seen such a statement on the Internet in his previous life, and he himself believed in this view.
From the current perspective, this statement still makes some sense.
Albert didn’t know if his willpower was strong enough, but he felt that as long as he worked harder, he should be no worse than anyone else. After all, he had successfully used the luminous spell silently several times.
At least, one thing is certain: my situation is much better than that of the friend next to me.
Truman's face was already red from holding back his breath, his mouth was tightly closed, and he looked like he was constipated. It would have looked more like him if he had bowed slightly.
"Why don't you start with a simple spell?" Albert really couldn't understand the other person's idea. Everything needs to be done step by step. It's obviously unrealistic to turn into a big fat man in one bite. Doesn't the person next to him understand?
"Alas!" Truman sighed helplessly, like a deflated ball deflated, "The silent spell is too difficult for us now."
“After all, it’s a sixth-grade advanced course, so it’s not surprising that it’s difficult.” Albert nodded in agreement. Although he said this, he felt a little disapproving in his heart.
After all, he has a cheat, so he is naturally confident. And even without a cheat, he still has the confidence to master the silent spell, but it will take more time.
Albert can understand Truman's thoughts. Once you fail too many times, it is easy for people to lose confidence. Without self-confidence, it is even less likely to succeed when trying a silent spell. Albert's advantage is that, He believed he could succeed.
Seeing that everyone was almost practicing, Professor Flitwick spoke up to attract everyone's attention.
"Of course, I think what you are more concerned about now is how to master the silent spell." Professor Flitwick said with a smile, "I have noticed that some students can use the spell silently, but you should also find that you are not able to use it skillfully. , you cannot use some spells that you are not proficient in without making a sound."
It was right.
Everyone listened quietly to Professor Flitwick, hoping to learn something useful from each other.
"Not all wizards can cast silent spells. I don't deny this, but most wizards can master silent spells after a certain degree of training. The difference is only in the extent to which they can apply them." Professor Liwei looked around at everyone and suddenly asked, "Mr. Anderson, can you share with us the key to your success in using the Silent Luminous Spell?"
Albert was stunned when he heard this. He did not expect that Professor Flitwick would suddenly let him get up to speak. After a moment of silence, he concluded: "First, you need to be highly concentrated when casting a spell; second, try the spell you are best at; third, believe that you will succeed."
"That's probably it." Professor Flitwick nodded with satisfaction: "You need to succeed first to bring yourself confidence. The more difficult the spell is, the harder it will be to use the silent spell. This is not a strange thing. Like casting a spell without a wand.”
When the Charms Professor was talking about casting spells without a wand, he raised his hand and made a few gestures. A piece of paper was cast a levitation spell and floated into the air in full view of everyone.
"Even Principal Dumbledore cannot use difficult spells without using a wand." Professor Flitwick ignored the floating paper and continued: "Silent spells are easier to cast than wandless spells. , but if you want to use it on complex spells, you not only need strong willpower, but also need a lot of practice. After the Christmas vacation, we will further learn the silent spell. By then, I hope everyone can I have initially mastered it.”
“Professor, is it too early for us to learn silent spells?” asked a Hufflepuff student.
"Too early?" Professor Flitwick repeated with a strange expression, "As far as I know, African magic students in the early days all cast spells without wands, so... you think you learned silent spells too early?"
Everyone looked at each other and discussed this matter in low voices.
“All the students at the African Academy of Magic can cast spells without a wand?” Someone asked in disbelief, “How did those students do it?”
“Because they don’t have wands, they naturally have to cast spells without wands.” Professor Flitwick said matter-of-factly. “Of course, learning magic without a wand is more difficult than it is for us.”
Now, they all know why Professor Flitwick said that most wizards can master silent spells after a certain degree of training.
Africans can master the more difficult wandless spells, so why can't they master silent spells?
"As long as you are willing to take the time to practice, you can basically master the silent spell." Professor Flitwick continued, "I hope you can give me a surprise then."
After saying this, Professor Flitwick asked everyone to take out the magazine "Magic Innovation" and prepare to start the topic of discussion at this gathering.
Albert's "Damned Innovation" was temporarily loaned to him by Professor Flitwick.
In the remaining time, everyone will continue with the previous content and discuss a certain innovative spell in "Magic Innovation".
Transfer student Albert said he was a little confused now.
