Chapter 5 Summary of the Curse(1/2)

 After leaving Ollivander's place for a while, Ryan still couldn't stop groping for his wand. It was a poplar wood wand as white as jade, with its door covered with strange lines. He was with another short and lean black knight in his arms.

Just one black and one white.

"Let's call you White Knight," Ryan said silently in his heart.

The frustration of not being able to feel the traces of magic power fluctuations has been washed away by the joy of getting the wand.

"Father, it's a little late. It's time to go shopping for books and go to Flourish and Blotts Bookstore."

"Aren't you going to go shopping anymore?" Jack asked with concern. After putting on the magic hat, Jack's tone was almost the same as that of his father George Smith in his memory.

Ryan couldn't help but feel a little absent-minded.

"No." Ryan replied decisively.

The sky has turned yellow at this time, and there are far fewer people in Diagon Alley. The little witches who come to purchase, the wild wizards, and the noisy dwarfs are all walking in a hurry or leisurely manner.

The Leaky Cauldron.

Ryan and Jack also arrived at Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore at this time.

In the window of the bookstore, there are spell books as big as floor tiles with golden reliefs on display.

Walking into the bookstore, the bookstore manager hurriedly greeted him, "Is it from Hogwarts?" he asked unexpectedly, "Are you here to buy new books?"

"Sorry, it happens not to be. Here, here is the book list. Here are the books I need. Give me a set. We will send someone to pick them up tomorrow."

The manager took the book list, looked at it carefully, and couldn't help but get excited.

"Do we need a set of these?" the manager asked tremblingly.

"Everything needs to be done. How long will it take to arrive at the earliest?" Ryan asked impatiently.

Have you ever noticed that when you go shopping to buy something, you always have to look around first before buying something? It seems that time is worthless, but once you decide to go back, you feel like you are going back and everything you do is a waste of time.

And Ryan is such a person. At this time, he just wants to go home and take a nice bath.

"It's fine tomorrow, but I have to calculate the cost." The manager wiped the sweat from his forehead.

At this time, Jack interrupted, "I will come back at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning. This is a deposit of 300 gold galleons. You can get the quotation tomorrow and you will be refunded or compensated for any excess."

"Okay, okay." The manager hurriedly replied.

"Let's go, Ryan."

"Yeah, yeah." Ryan nodded and said, wanting to get it done quickly and go home early.

So, after returning to the Leaky Cauldron and quickly walking upstairs, with a crisp crackling sound, Ryan returned to the castle in Nottingham Forest.

The next day, around 10 o'clock, Jack had already settled the payment and put all the books into a small bag, while talking to the bookstore owner in a usual manner.

At the same time, Ryan was practicing his magic in the practice room.

"Wingardium Leviosa!" Ryan muttered silently in his mind, waving his wand at the same time. Finally, the feather rose from the table and hung four feet above Ryan's head. "Silent casting is troublesome, and it finally succeeded.

Once."

Since purchasing new books and wands, Ryan has also discovered the inconvenience of the Black Knight. The successful casting of common modern magic spells mainly depends on three parts.

First, recite the magic spell according to specific requirements. For example, the floating spell requires Yuga-Dimleviosa. The word "plus" must be long and clear. If you pronounce it wrong, you will look like Barufio.

The wizard, who said the 'f' instead of an 's', found himself lying on the floor with a bison on his chest.

Second, the wand must be waved according to specific requirements, and the floating spell requires waving and shaking while chanting the spell.

The third is self-confidence, the belief that you can do it, which can replace the casting requirements of most magic. Except for some advanced spells, such as Avada Kedavra, which requires a strong and precise desire to kill, and the Patron Saint spell, which requires a strong positive

Emotion.

A small number of advanced magic spells only require the first, third, second and third steps, or its creators consciously raised the casting requirements and deliberately deleted or failed to create some steps.

In fact, as long as the above three parts are fully included, as long as the requirements for emotion, that is, the third point are not high, a first-year wizard can fully perform it. This is actually the development path of modern magic.

As magic progressed, spells became shorter and specific ways of waving the wand were added.

This also reduces the requirements for spell casting, improves stability, and at the same time reduces the magic power consumption. Casting will be successful, and at most the power is insufficient. There will be no incidents such as a spell draining magic power or even vitality.

Can you imagine that in the past, to perform magic, you had to perform a fixed dance and make strange gestures?

If you have this spare time, you might as well use a sword, otherwise you would have been hacked to death by other wizards.
