Chapter 182

~6 min read 1,194 words

The Disillusionment Charm is a spell only learned in the higher years; this is beyond doubt.

Therefore, when Sean still decided to learn this spell, even Professor Fuliwei was a bit surprised.

He first thought of night-wandering, but as soon as he turned his head, he cast that thought to the back of his mind—Mr. Green's law-abiding nature was obvious to all.

Then there could only be one other explanation.

"Oh, child,"

Professor Fuliwei smiled until his eyes narrowed,

"I had the same idea back then, learning different combinations of spells to become a dueling master..."

Sean's thoughts were instantly pierced, and he nodded, making Professor Fuliwei smile even more happily.

"Dueling, ah—I truly miss it, but if you want to learn the Disillusionment Charm, why not learn the Muffliato Charm at the same time?"

Professor Fuliwei said with a smile.

The Muffliato Charm appears in *The Standard Book of Spells: Grade 1*, and its function is to make sounds quieter.

Sean instantly thought of how it could be paired with the Disillusionment Charm—one to eliminate sound, one to eliminate vision.

"However, let me first see what spells you have learned?"

Professor Fuliwei seemed very interested in Sean's choice of spells,

"Perform them, Mr. Green."

Sean nodded, and then waved his wand.

After hearing the clear incantation, Professor Fuliwei saw a robe in front of the wardrobe turn into a wild boar.

"In-depth Intermediate Transfiguration, truly surprising!"

Professor Fuliwei's eyes were full of admiration,

"I am very glad you can use your talent in the right place."

The professor said with a hidden meaning.

"Oh, then the Disillusionment Charm, Finite Incantatem..."

Professor Fuliwei jumped down from the chair in the staff room with some excitement.

"A wise choice, but why don't you do it this way?"

The professor's words left Sean somewhat at a loss; he saw the professor wave his wand, and subsequently, a robe floated up, turning into a shield above the wardrobe to block in front of the professor, and as the professor waved his wand again, this shield turned into a spear.

"What did you see? Mr. Green?"

"A combination of the Levitation Charm and Transfiguration, Professor."

Sean seemed to have discovered a new continent; he immediately thought of the duel between Headmaster Dumbledore and Voldemort during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries, where he had summoned a glass shield to block the Killing Curse and turned it into sand to attack Voldemort; this was a high-level spell combination.

But immediately, he was a bit puzzled.

"Wizards have no way to cast two spells at the same time, right?"

Professor Fuliwei's voice was high-pitched, yet full of wisdom.

"But as far as I know, powerful wizards can cast two spells simultaneously... Casting a spell requires three key elements: the correct wand movement, accurate incantation pronunciation, and highly focused intent.

To cast two spells at once, a wizard must split their attention in two, guiding magic for both spells simultaneously; this is a huge challenge for a wizard's mind."

Professor Fuliwei said, while turning the spear into a sword; after it turned into a sword, it circled around Sean.

At this moment, Sean realized that the professor seemed to have been casting two spells all along.

His emerald eyes sparkled, and Professor Fuliwei could easily read the thirst for knowledge in them.

So he turned the sword back into a robe, which fell into Sean's hands.

"Then you must be wondering how to cast two spells simultaneously? Especially for a young wizard... of course, it's the Non-verbal Spell—"

The professor had Sean cast a non-verbal Levitation Charm on the teapot on the table, and then the professor continued:

"If a wizard can cast spells non-verbally, then theoretically they can chant one incantation while using a non-verbal spell to cast a second magic...

Another more feasible technique to pair with it is to first maintain a continuous magical effect, and then cast another instantaneous spell—try casting a Lumos spell—Mr. Green."

Sean kept the teapot from falling, and he indeed noticed that after he made the teapot float, the magic power needed for continuous consumption was much less, and because he was skilled enough, his full attention was not placed on it.

"Lumos!"

Before the teapot fell, a light appeared at the tip of Sean's wand, but very quickly, Sean heard the sound of glass shattering.

"An amazing talent!"

Fuliwei clapped his hands,

"The key lies in providing different guidance for the two types of magic, Mr. Green."

Sean was thoughtful; he sensed two different streams of magic, especially the magic of the Lumos spell, which became entangled with the second stream of magic in an instant, which was what caused his failure.

"Practice, Mr. Green, you need to be sufficiently skilled."

Professor Fuliwei blinked and repaired the teapot in the process.

Sean immediately realized that his proficiency with the Lumos spell was still not high enough. He nodded silently.

If his proficiency were sufficient, according to the technique the professor explained, couldn't he use the Levitation Charm to snatch the opponent's wand, and then immediately cast the Knockback Jinx?

Or use the Levitation Charm to throw a rock to distract the opponent while casting the Knockback Jinx?

Or perhaps, like the professor, use Transfiguration to modify an object and then use the Levitation Charm to attack?

Compared to a young wizard who can only cast one spell, his combat effectiveness would be much higher.

Sean didn't think he could cast two spells that required incantations at the same time, nor did he think he could cast two continuous spells.

Even Professor Fuliwei had to wait until the Transfiguration was complete before letting the sword spin.

In his fifth year, Hermione once mentioned that she couldn't maintain the Stupefy spell on the house-elf Winky while casting a Disillusionment Charm on Harry.

This proved that the more difficult the spell, the lower the possibility of casting them simultaneously.

But even if it were just a Levitation Charm plus any other spell, the improvement to his practical combat ability would be significant.

Of course, compared to those profound magics, even if Sean used two spells together, they might not be effective.

But what if Sean were proficient in two profound magics?

Sure enough—you can never have too much knowledge!

In the time that followed, Professor Fuliwei explained the techniques of the Disillusionment Charm to Sean in detail; this was a spell only learned by fifth-year young wizards, and its function was to make a person invisible like a chameleon.

"Stand still."

The professor said with a smile.

Sean stood still silently, and then the professor walked over, his wand tapping on Sean's head, making Sean look up curiously.

Then a strange, icy feeling flowed through his whole body from the place where the wand tapped.

Sean felt as if he had been wrapped in a layer of invisible film; this film slid over his skin like water, making him completely transparent.

He knew this must be the highest effect of the Disillusionment Charm—he not only blended his color with the background, but even his outline and shadow disappeared, just like wearing an Invisibility Cloak.
