Chapter 194: Hogwarts Learning Panel Chapter 86

Sean's notes are universal in the classroom. Thanks to his powerful ability to summarize and integrate, and his scientific, precise descriptions, his notebooks almost beat those vague books that the writers themselves were probably sometimes confused by.

With just one glance, the young wizards would throw their previous books aside, as if the original textbooks weren't written in English.

If they were, then why could the young wizards never understand them?

"Oh—I really wish we could get to the third year faster,"

Jia Siting sighed,

"The timing is just right—Sean, is it still the Levitation Charm today?"

"Mm."

Sean nodded, and the two began their daily spell practice; Jia Siting practiced the Levitation Charm, while Sean practiced Finite Incantatem.

【You practiced Finite Incantatem once to expert standards, proficiency +50】

【You practiced Finite Incantatem once to expert standards, proficiency +50】

The small wooden board on the table slowly spun twice, then quickly stopped, and was grabbed by Jia Siting.

Sean silently waved his wand, without chanting, and a form with several of their headshots flew into his hand.

He wrote the words 【Proficient】 in the Levitation Charm column for Jia Siting, then put it back into the bookshelf at the entrance, in the place easiest to reach.

Jia Siting took the form with some excitement, muttering: "Really nice, finally reached Proficient..."

Below the 【Proficient】 Levitation Charm, there were also 【Entry】 Finite Incantatem and 【Entry】 Aguamenti.

Hermione pretended to casually lean over to take a look, then walked away with her nose in the air.

—She had already reached Proficient long ago.

The Wizarding World does not have a clear grading system for a wizard's spellcasting level; only in the O. W. L. (Ordinary Wizarding Level) exams are they divided into grades like Outstanding, Exceeds Expectations, and Acceptable.

But this is clearly a comprehensive evaluation; for different wizards, the difference in proficiency for different spells might be too large to compare.

But the Ministry of Magic's education system is hard-pressed to evaluate the individual spell levels of wizards one by one—that is a laborious and useless grand project.

Perhaps because spells themselves are affected by a wizard's state, their intensity fluctuates. In the end, young wizards find it hard to judge what level their spells are at, making it difficult to develop an interest in practicing.

But Sean clearly optimized this step. The source of all this was actually just his exploration of the Finite Incantatem spell—he wanted to know, which spell proficiency levels could Finite Incantatem of different proficiency levels terminate?

But it unexpectedly produced excellent results. His evaluation criteria were based on his own spell performance at different proficiency levels, and thus were exceptionally accurate. The novel division of spell mastery stages immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the young wizards.

For a moment, they felt like a boss had lit up its health bar; not casting a couple of spells seemed to do a disservice to the wands in their hands.

"For spells or hexes of equal difficulty, Finite Incantatem of the same proficiency can resolve them very easily."

Sean silently wrote a line in his notebook, then added,

"The effect on higher-level spells will be significantly worse; some difficult and powerful spells cannot be terminated by a single Finite Incantatem.

Maintenance is always more difficult than release, and it requires more magic power; simply terminating the flow of magic is not feasible."

Sean guessed, is this why some powerful spells require corresponding counter-curses to eliminate them?

For example, Transfiguration and the Restoring Spell, or Sectumsempra and its corresponding counter-curse.

The sky gradually darkened again, presenting a hazy and faint purple.

The cold was still biting; Sean put away his wand by the warm fireplace, and the level of Finite Incantatem had also gone from (2200/3000) to (2650/3000).

An increase of a full four hundred and fifty proficiency points; it looked like Sean would be able to unlock expert-level Finite Incantatem tonight.

Unlike the difficulty when first learning the Silent Levitation Charm, the Silent Finite Incantatem was much simpler to learn.

The difficulty of silent spells lies in the fact that a wizard accustomed to chanting feels very awkward in their mouth when attempting a silent spell.

They have a strong, physiological urge to chant the word, so they must use powerful willpower to suppress this urge, which results in tight lips or silent wriggling—this in itself is a distraction.

But Sean had already overcome this point when practicing the Levitation Charm. Besides, the three points required for silent spells—emotion, firm willpower, and the exact spell.

These were not difficult for Sean.

Therefore, when he stood in place, silent, and waved his wand gracefully and neatly, knocking down and clearing all of Jia Siting's Aguamenti, Hermione still couldn't help but watch for a long time.

As for Neville, his mouth stayed wide open, looking like a goose egg could be stuffed inside.

Looking back at the pitiful 【Entry】 Levitation Charm on his own form, a long-lost drive swept through Mr. Longbottom's heart.

"This is what a wizard is..."

Jia Siting's praise was always sincere and from the heart,

"However, it's time to hand over to the seniors; Sean, shall we go out now?" ===== CHAPTER 195 =====
