The Real Hogwarts Chapter 103: The Stone That Absorbs Magic Power
The color of the gem is very eye-catching, and it seems that there is a scarlet liquid flowing quietly inside.
It was exactly the same shape and size as the blue gemstone on the ring Jon was currently wearing, but the color was very different.
Jon took it out of the book. It was not cold to the touch, but even a little warm.
He did not directly embed the gem into the empty space in the ring , but carefully read through the previous information and carefully read the notes left by Adrian.
This gem that he endowed with special properties is different from the other four. It can absorb the magic power of magical substances and store it. Under normal circumstances, it is ice blue like the one on John's ring. When it turns red, it means that the magic power it stores is at full capacity.
One point that needs to be mentioned is that the magic power that supports wizards in casting spells in this world is not similar to the blue bar of the wizard , but is merely the source of energy for using spells.
The meaning it represents is more complicated. If we have to compare it to a regular mage in the game, magic power is actually more like magic power.
The stronger the magic power, the more powerful magic can be used and learned, and spells of average power can be made stronger. However, the specific limit on the number of spells a wizard can cast is physical strength. Excessive casting will make the wizard feel mentally and physically exhausted, and there has never been any such thing as magic exhaustion.
Of course, this is just forcing to get closer. Magic also has other more special properties. For example, when casting a spell, whether it is a spell or a transfiguration, the magic power in the wizard's body is mobilized to affect the world. At this time, the magic power in the wizard's body will be drawn, but the total amount will not be reduced at all. The stronger the wizard's magic power is when it is drawn, the magic he uses will have the same strength. There is no saying that the more magic power used in this spell, the stronger the spell becomes.
The specific variables of magic strength, besides the strength of the magic power, are actually closely related to the emotions of the caster.
In short, the factors that determine the strength of the spells cast by wizards are very complex and involve many things.
The gem that John has now can absorb the magic power released by other wizards when they cast spells or make magic items, and then enhance the total amount of magic power when John himself casts spells, so as to achieve the effect of strengthening the spell.
And this gem is bound to a spell, which means that when it was created, only this spell can be used.
The spell that best suits it is naturally "Stop the Curse Immediately".
Because the spells used by wizards when casting spells are already formed, the changes are on the outside, but the magic is on the inside.
In order to absorb and store this magical power, the external changes must be eliminated. The only spell in the magic world that can do this is "Stop the Spell".
Using the ring to cast a spell and apply the universal breaking spell to John himself can make him immune to spells that can be immune to normal breaking spells. After the effects of these spells are immune, the magic power attached to them will be absorbed by the gem and stored to enhance John's spellcasting.
It seems that this ability is very buggy and even stronger than the Shield Charm, but the premise for him to be immune to the spell is that John can erase the spell when he uses the magic wand to cast the Breaking Spell normally.
If he fails to use the magic wand to break the spell, he can still think of other ways to avoid the spell attacking him. But if it is inflicted on the body, how does he know if he can withstand it unless the spell hits him?
If you can bear it, then it’s fine. If you can’t bear it, then there will be no follow-up and it will take effect immediately.
Moreover, the universal breaking spell cannot resist the three unforgivable curses. In other words, even if he studies the breaking spell more deeply, he cannot ignore the killing curse.
Apart from the fact that he could store the magic power of spells that he was immune to and then increase his own spellcasting strength, which was quite good, it was actually a bit of a disadvantage for Jon to waste a gem slot to learn "Spell Stop".
After all, if he really wanted to strengthen his own defense, he could learn the Shield Charm and use it directly on the ring. Then, even if he couldn't resist some spells, the Shield Charm could help him offset some of the power of the spell before it was broken.
Unlike breaking a spell, if you can block it, you block it completely, and if you can't block it, you can't block it at all. It's pure gamble.
However, in addition to absorbing the magic of spells through the erasure of "Spell Stop", this gem can also absorb the magic from magic items.
Just like not long ago, most of the banned books in the library lost their original magic. It should be that it sensed the ring that John brought into the castle, and was passively triggered once, sucking away all the magic in those banned books.
Now the gem is almost full, and the thick magic power directly turns it into blood red.
This is enough to show how strong the magic power it can contain can be. Many of the banned books stored in the restricted area contain powerful magic power, because the authors who created the books themselves have strong magic power, and the entire restricted area has basically been absorbed by the gems.
But this was obviously an accident. Jon could see in Adrian's notes that if he set the gem in the ring, the magic power that the ring could absorb would at most be the sum of his own magic power and the original magic strength of the gem. It would not be able to absorb a higher value than this.
That is to say, if Jon had taken this empty gem to the library to absorb the magic power, he might not even be able to absorb the magic power from a book. After all, he was only 12 years old this year, and the magic power in his body had not yet grown to its most vigorous level.
Anyone who can write a book and leave magic on it must have more magic than him.
But now the magic power in the gem is almost full. When added with his own magic power, it is definitely far beyond more than 99% of the wizards in the magic world. He can completely use this gem to deal with the three portraits in the tower.
After all, those three portraits are real magical objects.
After Jon finished reading all the notes at the front of the book, his frown relaxed, but there was no expression of joy on his face.
With an expressionless face, he flipped through the book from beginning to end again, and finally his eyes fixed on an insignificant sentence.
[…The absorption ability of this gem is effective for the signed magic contract itself, but not for the person who signed the contract.]
