Chapter 779: Phoenix's Afternoon Tea

Phoenix Fawkes was about to be reborn, but there was no one in the Headmaster's office at this time.

Sean was not a young wizard who liked to look around, so he waited under the portrait with "History of Magical Positions".

This material still had room for improvement. For example, in the Auror section, wizards should also know that the Ministry of Magic would review the criminal records of applicants.

This required wizards to maintain a good image; like Ha Li, he was once accused of using magic outside of school; if this accusation hadn't been withdrawn, then it would be hard for Ha Li to become an Auror—at least the regulations said so.

For example, there were many Auror training projects, two of which were "Concealment and Disguise" and "Stealth and Tracking".

In the original work, Tonks once mentioned that she easily obtained the highest score in "Concealment and Disguise" (this should be attributed to her natural Metamorphmagus ability), but she almost failed the "Stealth and Tracking" test.

The Wizarding World was not just the vague impression in Sean's mind; it also had many details and a perfect framework.

These were all things Sean was willing to explore.

Many times he could learn extra knowledge from the changes in positions in the Wizarding World.

Just like he learned that the last few giant settlements were once wiped out by the Ministry of Magic, and the organization sent was well-trained Aurors; their combat power far exceeded that of a settlement of giants.

And dealing with maddened dragons, this task was also the responsibility of Aurors, and paired with Dragon Keepers...

Very interesting, isn't it?

The individual differences of wizards could be so great—Aurors could beat giants and deal with dragons, but most adult wizards' legs would tremble when they saw them.

In the history of magic, Aurors had always shouldered such seemingly severe tasks, and interestingly, they had always done them well.

Now most dragons and giants being wiped out by wizards was a clear example.

So did this mean that the upper limit of wizards' magical ability had never fallen, because in Ravenclaw's memory, the magical power of ancient wizards she once saw was not much stronger than that of Aurors.

So Sean's conclusion was: magic is malleable.

Ancient wizards needed powerful magical power to win the right to survive, so ancient magic was naturally powerful;

Modern wizards needed more convenient and effective magical power, so the standard spell series was simple and easy to master.

"Theoretically speaking, a wizard's magic should only be subject to one limitation: that is the wizard himself."

"If a wizard possesses unwavering faith and corresponding spiritual will, then magic has already been born—spells, wands, gestures, are all just practical methods for later generations to easily master this power."

"This explains the ultimate source of wizarding magic—in the Wizarding World, magic might be an objectively existing material force, or it might be a truly idealistic spiritual force—but in the individual wizard, the root of magic is absolutely idealistic."

"As for the talent differences between individual wizards... keep writing, dear, I'm so curious—"

"Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent, good afternoon."

The Headmaster was not there, but the objects in the Headmaster's office seemed even more active.

At this moment, the portrait of Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent was looking at Sean with great interest; the young wizard was writing his partial understanding of magic.

"Many wizards have resided in this office, but perhaps you are the most talented one."

Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent said kindly.

"I didn't reside here, and I'm not the Headmaster."

Sean put away his parchment and pen.

"It's only a matter of time, dear."

Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent smiled.

Sean was silent; Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent's words were too straightforward, making Sean think of what Headmaster Dumbledore had said:

"Only if you want to replace me, you always have to find a place for an old wizard to stay first."

"So, what is the source of talent differences between individual wizards?"

Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent asked curiously.

Her words attracted a bunch of headmasters, and several pairs of eyes were staring straight at Sean.

"Magic changes reality, reality affects magic."

Sean said.

"What do you mean?"

Old Headmaster Everard asked.

He was an old wizard with a pale face and short black bangs.

"After a wizard's magic reaches a certain level, it will affect the wizard himself, and this influence is heritable."

"Therefore, the descendants of wizards will manifest magical traits corresponding to their ancestors."

"If you have studied the history of magic, you will find that descriptions of the founders of certain special magical powers are always vague."

"It's not that the wizards who wrote the books at the time didn't want to explain the source of this power, but that this source was inherently unexplainable; this source is the wizard himself."

Sean spread out the parchment again.

"A novel explanation—"

The old wizard marveled.

"Is this also the reason why there are no caterpillar bloodlines or slug bloodlines?"

Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent asked with a curious smile.

Sean closed the notebook to avoid being peeked at by Headmaster Dai Lisi Derwent again. ===== CHAPTER 780 =====
