Where did my reasoning go wrong?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frustrated, Allen cast the Lumos spell again: “Lumos!” Another solitary glowing sphere appeared at the tip of his wand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the more he failed, the calmer he became—something was definitely wrong. Where? The trajectory seemed fine; the issue must lie in the cycle count parameter. Could there be a minimum threshold? Is any value below a certain number treated as invalid? Allen’s mind raced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screw it, let’s try anyway!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, Allen cast the spell again, setting the cycle count to 10. It failed. He recorded the parameter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set the cycle count to 100. It failed. He recorded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set the cycle count to 1000. It failed. He recorded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He set the cycle count to 10000. It failed. He recorded again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By now, Allen sensed something was off—the numbers were clearly too high; the spell couldn’t possibly sustain that long. He quickly lowered the parameter...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Minutes passed. Allen sat slumped on the toilet, staring at his notebook’s test parameters, a sense of despair creeping in. Where was the problem? But the notebook gave him no answer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Weary, Allen counted his attempts—64.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What a great number! Two to the sixth power!” Allen muttered blankly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Allen. He yanked out his wand, picturing a glowing sphere tracing an “S” shape in midair, with 64 cycles!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lumos!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A glowing sphere appeared as expected, detaching instantly from the wand tip, soaring into the air, tracing the “S” shape, then slowly repeating its path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen was overwhelmed with joy—it was exactly right! It was exactly right! He wanted to slap himself for his own stupidity. Why had he limited his testing to decimal? Binary was the real MVP!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Energized, Allen cast Lumos again—this time with 1024 cycles.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He succeeded again: a glowing sphere traced a “B” shape through the air, pairing with the earlier “S” to form a classic word, as if mocking someone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And that someone didn’t care, shouting loudly: “Hahaha! I’m an S-B!” Then he burst into laughter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Encouraged, Allen tested several more parameters and discovered: the cycle count had to be a power of two, with a minimum of 64 and a maximum of 1024.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen was momentarily speechless—this parameter design was utterly inhuman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would ever think Lumos had a cycle count parameter at all, let alone one tied to trajectory? Even if you thought of it, the values were insane—powers of two, with strict limits. Who could possibly guess that? No wonder this commonly used spell had gone unimproved for over three hundred years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The parameter design was just too slick.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen gazed happily at the glowing spheres dancing through the air, deeply satisfied—but suddenly another thought popped into his head:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These spheres move too slowly! Why can’t they move faster? Can they move faster?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as this thought appeared, another flashed in: “Rotation speed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eagerly, Allen drew his wand, picturing the glowing sphere spinning as it flew, then cast Lumos again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, a glowing sphere shot out of the wand and darted rapidly through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s true—these parameters are interdependent!” Allen exclaimed, like a child with a new toy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He cast Lumos again—this time the sphere rotated faster, and its flight speed increased with the rotation speed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One more parameter. Add this one, and Lumos becomes a complete, perfect spell!” Allen murmured, entranced by the dancing sphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he felt a faint premonition—something was about to happen—but he still firmly drew his wand, picturing all the casting parameters in his mind, and softly spoke the incantation:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lumos!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen felt a thunderclap inside his skull—his soul seemed to instantly leap from his body, briefly merging with a vast will in the infinite heavens, then snapped back into his body so fast he wondered if he’d imagined it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What Allen didn’t notice was that, in that instant, a symbol flared brightly on his forehead, then vanished instantly...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Allen came to, all the spheres on the ceiling had disappeared, leaving only one glowing orb hovering midair, flickering rapidly. Night had fallen; the bathroom was dim. The orb’s light danced across Allen’s face, casting shifting shadows—and he felt a strange sense of familiarity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after the orb dissolved into the air, Allen couldn’t grasp the insight that had brushed his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He walked to the bathroom door. The brilliant lights of Hogwarts spilled into his vision—and suddenly, he understood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why must the sphere be white? Just because the standard casting procedure never mentioned otherwise? Allen thought bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen didn’t know how many times he’d drawn his wand and spoken the same incantation today—but his mind was now wide open.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned a red sphere into the air, flashing as it traced its predetermined path...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Allen didn’t stop. He summoned six more spheres in vivid colors—enough to match the Seven Brothers’ hues. In the process, he joyfully discovered that the flickering speed of the spheres was also tied to rotation speed—meaning flickering could be controlled too...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sky filled with flickering orbs instantly transformed the atmosphere. Allen stared blankly at the shifting light patterns on his body. An invisible BGM began playing in his mind. He felt his legs trembling, his DNA stirring—he was overcome with an irresistible urge to dance...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So this is how Lumos is truly meant to be used!” Allen groaned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Should he dance to “Wolf” or “Pure Land of Bliss”?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waiting online—urgent!\u003C\u002Fp>",1013,"2026-06-20T16:09:23.977Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","cfa7192f63e8d9b17514f419f9f2c399d32881fe09e9999c169a04952620685f","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-30","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-28",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
