He recognized these sprouts well, because the day before yesterday, Mr. Scamander’s Tree-keeper had pestered him all day, and the sprouts on the Tree-keeper’s head were identical to the ones now growing on his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After becoming an Animagus, Allen felt the probability of randomly obtaining ordinary animal organs or body parts had decreased; his talent upgrade had been active for a week, and during that time, only two days yielded ordinary animal organs or parts—the rest were all organs or parts of magical creatures and Pokémon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen didn’t know whether this was good or bad, but so far the experience felt quite pleasant—each magical creature and Pokémon organ or body part possessed its own unique ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the sensation of sprouts growing on his head, all he could say was that his mind had become clearer and his thinking slightly faster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ministry of Magic’s Aurors came to visit them; the Ministry always reacted swiftly to news about Sirius Black, just as swiftly as they deducted Allen’s income from tomorrow’s earnings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took the news that Sirius Black was an Animagus very seriously, and to help them search more effectively, Hermione drew a sketch of the large black dog from that day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, copies of Hermione’s drawing were plastered across every entrance to Hogwarts; the Aurors and Dementors even conducted a large-scale search of the Forbidden Forest, which provoked resistance from the Centaurs and Acromantulas—rumor had it the disturbance was enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Sirius Black seemed to have vanished completely; no wizard had seen him since that day, nor had anyone spotted the suspicious large black dog again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen had also been practicing the Patronus Charm recently, but his progress was slow—what he summoned was still only silvery mist, with no form whatsoever, and no sign of taking on any form.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, after taking Professor Snape’s prescribed bodily maintenance potion on the 10th of this month, he deliberately transformed into the eye of a Lei Niao to observe the ancient magical script parameters generated during the casting of the Patronus Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancient magical script parameters generated during the casting of the Patronus Charm numbered only a dozen or so, similar to those of ordinary spells—but Allen discovered several keys among them he didn’t recognize. This was rare now, given his vast vocabulary in ancient magical script.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t obsess over the unfamiliar ancient script characters; instead, he noticed one parameter labeled “Activity Level,” and immediately realized it must relate to the intensity of the happy emotion used to cast the Patronus Charm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value corresponding to this “Activity Level” was 3. Allen instantly understood this was a perfect opportunity to cheat—he could simply alter this parameter to its maximum in his Mind Chamber, then cast the Patronus Charm, and surely summon a tangible Patronus.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He acted immediately—this was too good an opportunity to pass up. He skillfully changed the Activity Level to 10 in his Mind Chamber and extracted it into his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast the Patronus Charm skillfully—but this time, only a wisp of silvery mist appeared. He was stunned. After thinking for a while, he concluded the number 10 was too high, so he changed it to 7—but still, only a wisp of silvery mist emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unwilling to give up, he kept lowering the number—this time, the Patronus Charm failed outright.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He stopped, pondered for a long while, still couldn’t figure out why, so he finally extracted all three casting memories from his brain and examined them carefully in his Mind Chamber—and soon, he noticed something odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He discovered that during the first two castings, the “Activity Level” parameter’s value was 2—not the 10 or 7 he had modified. The third time was worse: the “Activity Level” value was directly 0.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing this, Allen fell into deep thought. The Patronus Charm was completely different from other spells he had learned; for other spells, whatever parameters were in his mind were directly transmitted—but the Patronus Charm seemed to actively detect certain parameters, rather than simply transferring the values Allen had set in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now, the value Allen had set in his mind was 10, but the Patronus Charm detected an Activity Level of 2, so it transmitted 2.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Realizing this, Allen felt a pang of frustration—so he couldn’t cheat after all?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Patronus Charm was indeed worthy of being one of the oldest defensive spells—it even had such a detection mechanism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen felt utterly stuck. It seemed he could only practice diligently, the old-fashioned way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Allen also noticed another strange parameter in the Patronus Charm—the “ID.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The value corresponding to “ID” was a long string of ancient magical script numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This puzzled Allen—he had seen countless ancient magical script parameters for spells, but never one so peculiar. Worse, he had no idea what this parameter was for.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he first cast the Patronus Charm, he had never thought about an “ID”—yet this parameter appeared in the spell’s ancient magical script parameters. That was strange.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was this “ID” for?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could Patronuses have different identities? Were these “IDs” their “identity numbers”? Allen wondered, half-jokingly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In any case, observing the Patronus Charm had overturned part of his earlier assumptions about how spells worked in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Next, he tried altering the value of the “ID”—and found it could be changed. But when he cast the Patronus Charm using the modified value, nothing changed at all—still only silvery mist appeared. Changing the “ID” made no difference whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen’s research into the Patronus Charm had now hit a complete standstill: the meanings of the unfamiliar ancient script parameters couldn’t be deciphered in the short term, cheating by altering “Activity Level” was impossible, and changing the “ID” produced no observable effect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Allen realize he could only learn and cast the Patronus Charm the most traditional way taught by Professor Lupin—there were no shortcuts here; he had to proceed step by step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet this also sparked Allen’s curiosity. For such a wondrous and peculiar spell, he was determined to uncover its underlying principles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(https:\u002F\u002F)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please remember the original publishing domain of this book: .
