In This Hogwarts Without a Savior

"First of all, you need to establish the first magic spell you are going to use on yourself."

Slughorn motioned for Jon to pick up his wand.

"In this half school year, Filius must have taught you two or three spells. Which one do you think you are most comfortable and proficient in using?"

Jon hesitated and then said.

"Because the first spell I learned was the levitation spell, this is the most skillful to use."

"Then choose the Levitation Charm." Slughorn helped Jon make the decision. "You have just started learning. The spell memorized on the ring should not be too complicated. The Levitation Charm is just right. It is what almost all wizards use when they first learn magic. It is the first spell that I continue to master when casting spells. It is simple and easy to learn, and the effect is very practical."

Of course Jon has no objection to this. He has only been able to use four spells so far, the levitating spell, the wand illuminating spell, the repairing spell and the dancing spell.

The first three were learned in the Charms class, and the Dancing Charm - Tarantella was learned by himself in his spare time.

Except for the levitation spell, Jon couldn't think of any other effects that the other three spells would have if they were directly applied to him.

The lighting spell will turn him into a person of light that shines all the time? Can the Mending Charm repair his broken body when he's injured? Or could a dancing spell make his dancing skills extraordinary?

Except for the middle one, which sounds a bit reliable, if the other two spells are really like this, what other destructive power can he learn besides making the enemy laugh to death?

From these options the Levitation Charm is really the only one that is feasible.

This spell can make objects fly. The more skilled the user is in casting the spell, the heavier objects they can control.

If it were applied to the wizard himself, wouldn't it mean that he could have the ability to fly without any external force?

Jon's eyes couldn't help but become excited when he thought of this, but Slughorn clearly saw what he was thinking at this time and poured cold water on him first.

"Don't think of things so simply. The ring only helps you change the way you cast spells, but it cannot change the strength of your spells. If you don't master the floating spell deeply, it won't achieve what you expected. degree."

But Jon was not discouraged by what he said. The opportunity was now in front of him. What level he could reach in the future could only depend on himself.

"Use a levitating spell first, let me see how you are learning the spell."

After hearing Slughorn's words, Jon pointed his wand at a book on his desk and recited the spell.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

The next second, the book seemed to be held up by an inexplicable force and suddenly rose into the air.

Slughorn was very satisfied with the effect of Jon's levitating spell.

"It's very good. Even among the fourth grade students, I can't find a student who can use the levitating spell to your level."

Jon looked at Slughorn expectantly.

"Is this level enough?"

Slughorn did not answer his question, but directly exchanged the ring to Jon and said with a smile.

"Put the ring on your body, whether it's around your neck or on your hand. You can give it a try."

"You don't need to wave your staff, just recite the spell like a normal spell, but think in your mind not to make other objects fly, but yourself. This is just a target replacement. You should be able to do it."

Jon asked in disbelief.

"It's that simple?"

"Easy?" Slughorn laughed, "You try it first and then talk about it."

Jon put the ring back on his neck. He restrained the habit of subconsciously picking up the wand and waving it, and instead recited the spell directly.

"Wingardim Leviosa."

He could clearly feel the magic power in his body being mobilized, but the power was extremely subtle and much weaker than when casting a spell with a wand.

And this magic power did not have an impact on the real world through the wand as the final outlet like any other spell he had used before. Instead, it passed directly through the ring he wore around his neck, and then quickly flowed back into his body.

At that moment, Jon felt as if he was a little different from a second ago, but on the surface, he didn't change at all.

"Do you feel anything?" Slughorn asked.

Jon did not give an answer immediately, but hesitantly raised his arm, then jumped on the spot a few times, and then said hesitantly.

"I always feel that my body seems to have become lighter? But the change is too small, and I can't really feel the difference before and after."

The smile on Slughorn's face froze, and he calmed down his expression, watching Jon from beginning to end with a serious look on his face.

"Are you sure what you feel is right?"

Jon couldn't give an accurate answer because he didn't know whether the subtle change was real or just his illusion.

But Slughorn obviously had the means to determine the changes in his body at this moment. He lightly tapped Jon's shoulders and arms with his wand, feeling that the magic that had been integrated into his limbs was completely different from that under normal circumstances. There was an expression of wonder on his face.

"It's very subtle and hard to detect, but there is indeed a change. It's incredible. Jon, this is really incredible!"

His performance was a bit difficult for Jon to understand.

"What's wrong with that, Professor."

Slughorn came back from his daze and explained to Jon seriously.

"I told you that for any magic, magic power and will are the foundation. Spells and wands are only auxiliary. But without the auxiliary, even if the necessary conditions are met, casting spells will become extremely difficult. You are learning the levitating spell. In that class, Filius should have told you about a wizard who summoned a cow because he misread a syllable of the floating spell. This is a typical case."

"And now that you have changed the method of casting spells, it is equivalent to overthrowing the system of matching spells with wands. Although the spell itself will not change, the previous pronunciation of the floating spell no longer applies to you. You can use it normally. In other words, the set of spells you use the wand to pronounce should have no effect at all. Magic will not change you in the same way as it changes the outside world. Because of the wrong syllables, the entire effect of the spell will be changed. It will only If the syllables are right, the spell will be effective on you, but if the syllables are wrong, it will not be effective.”

Jon understood what Slughorn meant. It was simply wrong for him to recite the spell the way he cast the wand. Mispronunciation of the spell for himself would not lead to the opposite result of the floating spell turning into summoning a cow, but it would not happen either. Any bit of utility.

But now his wrong spell has taken effect. Although the effect is very subtle, it is a very big leap from scratch.

"Then why does this happen?" Jon asked doubtfully.

"There is an error in the auxiliary means, and the magic that should have failed succeeded. The problem can only be with magic power and will." Slughorn looked at him seriously, "Your magic power is normal, and other The 11-year-old is no different, so the only explanation is that a strong will drives the magic's success."
