"When the potion is configured, the dosage standard of dead herbs cannot be completely determined, because not all herbs contain exactly the same amount."

Hermione said to Locke: "This is the only explanation that Professor Snape gave me when I asked. He said that because of this, when preparing a drug, it takes intuition to see if a herb should be more or less."

"Is that true?" Locke thoughtfully after hearing this and looked at the herbs in his hand.

He can sense the content of some of these substances through magic power, but because these substances contain magic factors and the amount of magic power is also affecting the effect. Modern precise measuring instruments cannot be measured well.

"It seems that it is not that the wizards in this world are closed and unrestrained, but that some modern medicine experience cannot be fully applied in potions."

Locke finally said to Hermione: "Unless a set of tools that can measure the properties of magic herbs and then use these tools to accurately test it, it is possible to standardize the refining of magic potions.

Before such measurement tools were available, all potionists could only rely on intuitive configuration of potions, as Snape said, whether a herb should be added or reduced.

There is also the temperature and size of the crucible behind, and the way to adjust the stirring pots, all rely on intuition. No wonder it has always been said that potionists value talent."

According to scientific thinking, Locke could think of a method, which was to create some magical equipment that could detect the merit of herbs.

For example, to improve the existing scales, when weighing herbs, it can not only weigh the weight of the herbs, but also detect the medicinal properties contained in the herbs.

There are also improvements to the current crucible in the magic world, which can automatically control the temperature and heat, and finally add an automatic stirring stirring rod that can be set up in advance, which can operate according to the corresponding procedures, etc.

With these things, in theory, you can get rid of the so-called intuition and perfectly make the corresponding potion.

If this idea is finally successful, then anyone can make perfect potions, which means that some ordinary potionists can be unemployed, and only some potion masters, or potion researchers, focus on studying new recipes.

But such a work is obviously not something that can be completed in a short period of time. It is easy to say that one or two potions are, but a huge number of potions requires a lot of tedious work and repeated experiments.

Locke can only standardize the modulation of potions as a long-term job, and spend more time on library books.

First expand your knowledge and master more magic knowledge in order to better develop and study magic. This is the same as studying the most profound mathematical problems that require a lot of pre-mathematical knowledge.

The magic in the Harry Potter world is more comprehensive and systematic than the magic that Locke had previously encountered, which prompted Locke to read the magic books here one after another, including the dimension space, and increasing his own background.

In addition to reading, Locke also spent a lot of time practicing various spells. In addition to normal casting of magic, he also casts silently and stafflessly.

First, it is to exercise your ability to control magic, and second, it is to avoid encountering some extreme situations.

He had a intuition that as long as he fully mastered the magic of this world, it would be of great benefit to him in the future.

In fact, while learning the curse of this world, Locke also solved some of the doubts in his previous life, mainly about black magic.

"The power of magic depends not only on the spell itself, but also on the control of the spell, that is, the control of the mental power."

Locke said to Hermione: "You should have read this book I asked you to read."

He pointed to the book "The Basics of Controlling Emotions, Stabilizing Curse" in Hermione's hand.

"I've seen it," said Hermione: "It's mainly an analysis of the impact of emotions on curse, and it also tells the impact of positive and negative emotions on wizards.

The papers in the books mainly talk about the relationship between emotions, spells, and wizard personality.

It also records a calm curse that can reverse negative emotions, and several curse that can make people feel happy and happy.

When we were in the magic defense class, the teacher also said that strong emotions can enhance the effect of the spell."

"Most wizards use emotions to control spells when controlling magic, but after my research, this is actually an application of mental power."

Locke said: "Strong emotions come with stronger mental power, so the effect of enhancing magic power can be achieved.

But according to my research, if the mental power is strong enough and the control of magic is high enough, there is no need to use emotions specifically to enhance or drive the spell."

After pausing for a moment, Hermione digested the theory, Locke continued: "You should have heard of black magic. Every student has to take the black magic defense class. Why does a magic mean to be called black magic?"

"Because those magics are deadly or can cause curses that are difficult to heal their injuries." Hermione replied without thinking.

"This is not the case. Many ordinary spells can actually achieve lethal effects, but these spells are not classified as black magic."

Locke said: "The reason why these magics are classified as black magic is actually because they need a prerequisite for release, that is, malice."

"Malicious?!" Hermione was slightly stunned.

"Yes." Locke nodded: "A ordinary wizard, every time he uses these magic, he needs enough maliciousness to drive it to successfully release it.

Based on the theories in this book, you can infer it.

Once a wizard often uses black magic, over time, these magic will in turn affect the wizard's character and make the wizard's character distorted and evil."

"So that's it." Hermione nodded thoughtfully, and then seemed to have thought of something: "In other words, as long as the mental power is enough to control it, then you can use black magic without being affected by Tao, right?"

"It's theoretically, but if you want to have enough mental power, you need to continue practicing meditation." Locke said: "So you can't relax at all in meditation. It's a compulsory course every day. Do you understand?"

This theory was also understood by Locke after he had a better understanding of the Harry Potter world magic system. The dark magic in this world does have his inherent flaws.

The wizards in this world do not have the method of actively exercising their mental power to condense magic power. They can only passively enhance their mental power and magic power while constantly practicing spells.

This situation made many magic in the Harry Potter world related to emotions, and thus developed many special spells, but also caused the difference between black magic and ordinary magic.

Wizards passively improve their mental power and magic, and their efficiency is naturally not as good as meditation methods that can be actively exercised and improved. It is precisely because of this confidence that Locke has gradually begun to come into contact with black magic recently.

Among them, what interested Locke the most was the Scarlet Fire Curse and the Hellfire Body Protection Curse mentioned in the plot.
