Chapter 283: Progress of the Patronus Charm

But Allen cannot practice only to this extent, because he is learning the Patronus Charm not to resist Dementors, but to create magical intelligence.

He now has many means to deal with Dementors, but this is the only clue he has for creating magical intelligence.

The mist-form Patronus has not shown the slightest sign of intelligence, so he must summon a corporeal Patronus.

To see whether the path of developing magical intelligence through the Patronus Charm actually works.

Because as he collects more and more parameters from various parts of magical creatures and Pokémon, his need for magical intelligence becomes increasingly urgent.

If a Transfigured Beast with parts from various magical creatures is regarded as a computer with top-tier hardware configuration, then magical intelligence is the software of this computer; only equally excellent software can fully unleash the hardware's capabilities.

So at this stage Allen must solve the problem of controlling Transfigured Beasts; if he cannot solve this problem, piling more hardware on top is futile.

To illustrate with an example: previously, when Allen gave a Transfigured Beast an order such as "attack target XX," the beast would rush in, because at that time the Transfigured Beast only had physical attack methods; but a Transfigured Beast with parts from multiple magical creatures has many more attack methods, and it must choose the most effective and suitable attack method upon receiving that order.

Moreover, a Transfigured Beast with parts from multiple magical creatures is destined to be very expensive, because many kinds of magical materials are consumed during transfiguration, so it cannot be used as a consumable like before; therefore, the Transfigured Beast must be able to dodge attacks on its own. To dodge attacks effectively, it must have some awareness of the overall battle situation, and this also requires a certain amount of magical intelligence.

Without magical intelligence, controlling a Transfigured Beast becomes completely Pokémon-style.

For example, when attacking, one must shout loudly, "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt!" and only after the Transfigured Beast receives the order will it take action.

At first glance, this doesn't seem like much; Ash fights this way!

But this is the Harry Potter magical world. Ash can fight that way because his opponents also fight using the same method.

But the enemies Allen faces are different. Many adult wizards have mastered silent casting, and their spellcasting speed is incredibly fast. According to Allen's observation, by the time he shouts "Pikachu, use Thunderbolt," an adult wizard could have cast three spells at him.

Allen can equip all Transfigured Beasts with dragon scales, but what if the opponent is not a single wizard? If he faces ten wizards, how long can the dragon scales withstand bombardment from various spells?

With magical intelligence, he no longer needs to issue tactical orders to the Transfigured Beasts; he only needs to focus on strategy.

Moreover, with magical intelligence, Allen can control many Transfigured Beasts simultaneously. In theory, only he can gang up on others; there will absolutely be no situation where others gang up on him.

This is why Allen is so obsessed with magical intelligence.

"Summoning a complete Patronus is a very difficult thing; many wizards never achieve it in their entire lives, so you should not be too anxious." Professor Lupin seemed to have sensed some of Allen's anxiety.

Then he admonished Allen and Harry: "As I said before, the Patronus Charm itself is not complex; the key lies in the emotion infused when casting it. You have now activated your Patronuses; the next step is to find and practice how to summon your most positive aspects. This cannot be achieved by impatience."

After a brief pause, he continued: "Even if you summon corporeal Patronuses in the future, it does not mean you have truly mastered this spell. Remember, there is no time to cultivate emotions during combat, especially when facing Dementors; there is no time for you to slowly recall your happy memories."

And when facing Dementors, it is not easy to become happy either."

Allen and Harry exchanged a glance; they both knew Professor Lupin was very right.

In the days that followed, Hogwarts seemed to calm down again.

Dementors were kept outside the school by Professor Dumbledore and did not enter the school again. Even though several Quidditch matches were held, they did not appear.

After Sirius Black attacked them last time, Allen, in his Animagus form, had encountered Dementors. He discovered that in Animagus form, he could not only resist the Dementors' draining of happiness but also make it very difficult for Dementors to perceive his presence; Dementors seemed unable to see him in his Animagus form.

Therefore, Allen recently resumed hunting Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest. The Basilisk had been exploited so severely by him that he urgently needed Acromantula corpses to soothe the Basilisk.

The hunt for Acromantulas also pulled his near-bankrupt finances back from the brink.

As for Sirius Black, he did not appear again during this month, as if he had given up on targeting Harry.

Speaking of the Patronus Charm, Harry and Allen have also made some progress during this period, but neither has summoned a corporeal Patronus.

The Patronus summoned by Harry has gradually begun to take on a shape.

According to Professor Lupin, this is a sign that the Patronus Charm is about to succeed.

Unlike Harry's increasingly clear Patronus, Allen's Patronus remains in that cloud-and-mist shape.

If he did not know that Patronuses are always animals, Allen would suspect his Patronus was something like a cloud or cotton candy.

Allen tried many methods to make himself happy, but with little effect.

Watching Harry, who practices with him, make continuous progress while he seems to have stopped moving forward, Allen could not help but feel somewhat anxious.

And in the most recent practice, the Patronus summoned by Harry had already begun to show a general outline—it was some kind of large, horned, four-legged, hoofed animal.

"I think your Patronus should be a stag."

Professor Lupin looked with satisfaction at the half-finished product Patronus summoned by Harry, smiled, and said to him with some excitement: "Do you know, Potter? Your father's Patronus was a stag."

Professor Lupin's words made Harry extremely excited; an inexplicable joy filled his chest. He even felt that, under these circumstances, he could summon a complete Patronus.
