Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

In the laboratory, Andy tried all kinds of spells, having a great time and enjoying the smooth flow.

Seeing that it was almost time to go, Andy stopped a little reluctantly.

Spellcasting feels great!

Moreover, with a substantial increase in magic power, Andy's magic power had returned to an unstable state, making the spellcasting slightly more natural.

"What a pity!" Andy heaved a sigh.

If it had been a summer holiday, Andy would have made use of this state to try to fuse his mind and magic and explore whether he could create a magical entity different from the Obscurus.

But it was March, and there were still nearly four months to go before the summer holiday.

At school, Andy could not possibly stop casting spells, could he?

And once he cast a spell, it would break the state of 'suppressing magic', and all his previous efforts would be wasted.

"Hm..."

Andy pondered for a moment.

Unstable magic—this state is very special.

Except for young wizards under the age of ten, wizards over the age of ten can only return their magic to an unstable state through a sudden and violent spike in magic.

This state is very risky.

If you don't have good control over your magic, it's easy to lose control when casting spells—this is the main reason why young wizards under the age of ten cannot learn magic.

However, for wizards with a higher level of attainment in magic, this state is a rare opportunity.

Of course, what you can achieve in this state depends entirely on your understanding of magic.

If you do nothing, this state will pass quickly.

Even Andy rarely experiences this state, so it would be a waste not to make use of it.

"I can't fuse my mind and magic..."

"Hmm...what should I do?" Andy frowned and racked his brain.

He had many thoughts in his mind, but none of them satisfied Andy.

"Yes!"

Andy suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

Young wizards under the age of ten could do real wandless magic when they were emotional... No, that wasn't wandless magic; it was just having their wishes magically realised.

They didn't even need to utter a word!

Strong emotions could directly mobilise unstable magic energy, which then would manifest as magic—the so-called accidental magic.

Andy had also trained a lot in this area throughout his early childhood.

However, as he grew older, Andy had not practised this kind of training for a long time.

Mainly because he couldn't make it happen.

But now...

Now things are different. Compared to two and a half years ago, Andy's current magical abilities are almost as good as those of a Hogwarts professor.

Andy can do a lot more now.

"Maybe I can try that…"

After thinking for a while, Andy put his wand back, fixed his gaze on the cauldron on the table, and muttered an incantation.

"Wingardium Leviosa!"

Under the effect of the levitation charm, the cauldron slowly floated up.

"Hm... that was easy."

Unlike the previous hidden casting, this time it was a real wandless casting.

Andy didn't touch the wand, just concentrated while reciting the incantation...just like when he first learnt the levitation charm.

Obviously, the spell worked!

And it was easy.

"The sixth-point mental attribute... it really is something!"

Andy was thrilled.

Before attending school, Andy had to use all his strength to make objects float—and that wasn't even the levitation charm.

Or rather, it was only an imitation of the levitation charm.

But now it was different.

Andy could now concentrate on the incantation and cast a spell without a wand.

'Let's try something else.'

With time running out, Andy randomly attempted a few more spells.

The result was not unexpected.

It all worked!

Andy didn't even need to recite the incantations; with just a deep concentration, he could cast all kinds of spells as he wished.

'Maybe this is the ultimate form of a wizard!'

Andy admitted that he was really having fun.

At this moment, Andy felt like he could do anything, just by 'thinking about it'.

"Unfortunately..."

After the euphoria, there was a sense of emptiness.

This state of magic will only last for about a month, and when the time is up, everything will return to normal.

Once the magic has stabilised, you will need to rely on your wand to channel the magic to successfully cast spells.

Andy felt a little disappointed when he thought about this.

He originally thought that after becoming a magical being, he would be able to cast spells without a wand.

But this was obviously just Andy's fantasy.

Magical beings are not as powerful as Andy had imagined.

If magical beings could cast spells without wands, then Voldemort, who had experienced many dark magic transfigurations, would have long since been able to give up his wand.

What is a magical being?

A magical being is a creature with magical properties.

For example, the Demiguise, which can become invisible.

Then there is Niffler, a creature with a special body equipped with a pocket space.

Apart from that, these magical creatures do not have any special abilities and cannot cast spells like wizards.

Although magical creatures such as Dragons, Phoenixes and Unicorns are very powerful, they also cannot cast spells, except for their innate abilities.

"It's like..."

Andy seemed to have an epiphany.

'If you consider a spell as a program in the real world, then magical creatures... have a certain "specific" program in their bodies.'

'But wizards are different!'

'Wizards don't have a specific program, but they can use all programs.'

Of course, wizards need a wand to channel magic to successfully cast spells, which is also a limitation of wizards.

"Hmm..."

Andy pinches his chin.

'I remember reading somewhere that many of the spells of wizards were developed by experimenting on magical creatures.'

Learning a program, using a program, but unable to master it.

"In that case..."

Andy feels as if he has discovered a major secret.

Magic comes from life.

And life is the union of body and soul.

But all the clues so far point to the fact that the soul plays a key role in the composition of a wizard's magic.

Perhaps the opposite is true for magical creatures.

In the composition of magical creatures' magic, the body may be the key factor.

Andy suddenly scratches his head.

On the surface, this reason seems to make sense.

But Andy always feels like he's missing something.

What is it?

"Hmm..."

"Tsk... I still have to study hard!" Andy exclaimed with a sigh.

Without a sufficient knowledge base, even if all the clues were laid out in front of him, Andy would be unable to understand and make sense of them.

Just like right now.

The magic theories Andy currently had were all contradictory, so there must be a very important piece of information missing that was preventing them from being connected.

"Never mind!"

Andy shrugged habitually.

If he couldn't figure it out, he should just ignore it for now. There would be plenty of time to study later.

In any case, tonight's magic transfiguration was a success.

Talent increased.

Magic adaptability increased.

And most importantly… Andy had made the first step towards evolving into a magical being!
