Chapter 33: The Essence of Spell

In the afternoon, after Charm Class finished class, Coven, who added five more points to Gryffindor, did not leave the classroom immediately.

When he came to the desk, Coven asked Professor Flitwick, who was standing on top of a stack of books, "Professor, can I ask you a question?"

"Of course, of course." Professor Flitwick stopped tidying up the teaching materials and said enthusiastically, "Little Coven, what's wrong with you, little genius?"

"I'm not a genius." Coven quickly denied and said, "It's like this, professor. I found that most of the spells follow the same pattern."

"What pattern?" Professor Flitwick interrupted before Coven could finish. Joy, surprise, expectation, and other expressions appeared on his face. His expression changed very quickly.

Of course, Coven noticed the change on Professor Flitwick's face, but now was not the time to care about that. He continued, "I found most of them... I mean the spells I know now."

"Most of these spells seem to be the same word, but they are made up of a part of the Latinand another part of ancient English."

"Go on! Go on!" Professor Flitwick was even more excited. His eyes were almost shining. He put his hands on the podium and leaned forward. He urged with anticipation.

"Well... I see." Coven did not understand why Professor Flitwick was so excited. He continued, "In my Recharge, the ancient Latin part of these spells is responsible for triggering the magic effect. The ancient English part will trigger the control effect of magic."

"Continue!" Professor Flitwick urged again, his hands moving his fingers excitedly.

"Let's use the floating spell as an analogy." Coven nodded slightly and continued, "The first half of the spell is an ancient English reading method. It has the meaning of commanding and raising it. The latter half is in the Latin language, symbolizing the concept of floating. When combined, it is to command objects to float."

The other spells are the samefor example, Levitation Charm. The whole spell is the concept of 'flying' in the Latin language. In addition to the designated item in English, it is the complete Levitation Charm.

"Genius!" Professor Flitwick suddenly exclaimed in admiration, which shocked Coven.

"Genius! Little Coven, you are a genius!" Professor Flitwick was thrilled. After a long time, he calmed down slightly and said to Coven, "You are right. Most of the spells are indeed like this, but there are other combinations. Not only can the combination of ancient English and Latin, but other ancient languages also have magic."

"The ancient eastern language, the ancient Egyptian, the ancient Egyptian, the ancient Mayan language, the ancient Atlantis, and so on!" Professor Flitwick said with a sigh, "All ancient words have magic power! Magic spells! Magic spells! The essence is the power of language!"

"But unfortunately..." Professor Flitwick sighed. "Thousands of years have passed, and many ancient words have been lost. Even if you have obtained the writing method, you do not know the correct reading method. Now, the most complete ancient language that you know is only the Runi language. Of course, I recommend you to choose this course when you were in your third year."

"I see," Coven confirmed and then asked, "Professor, in that case, can I develop some spells by myself according to this rule?"

"Develop spells?" Professor Flitwick was shocked.

"That's right. For example, I used the Latin language to stimulate the concept of' frost '." Coven made a metaphor and said, "Then use English to exert control over this concept, such as using the word 'explosive'."

"Oh no! Absolutely not!" Professor Flitwick immediately cried out in alarm, giving Coven another fright.

"What?" Coven asked in surprise and confusion.

"Don't! Listen, Little Coven! Don't recklessly experiment and develop the curse!" Professor Flitwick warned in a loud voice.

"Yes, professor." Seeing this, no matter how Coven agreed first, he comforted Professor Flitwick a little and then said, "I don't have the idea of developing the experiment on my own. That's why I came over to consult you, Professor."

"Very good, Little Coven! Your way of doing things is very correct!" Professor Flitwick praised him and then said with some lingering fear, "I just said that magic spells are the power of language. The correct language stimulates the right power and the wrong language..."

After a pause, Professor Flitwick continued, "Let me make a comparison with the 'floating spell' you just mentioned."

"If the pronunciation of 'S' becomes F, then what is used is not a floating spell. It will become an uncertain spell! Many people have read the wrong spell. In all the bad examples, the one who suffered the least backlash from the spell was hit by an old cow that suddenly appeared and broke his ribs and internal organs!"

"Therefore, Little Coven!" Professor Flitwick solemnly warned, "Don't recklessly experiment with the incantation. Even if you read the incantation correctly, even if the tone is different, you will suffer unexpected consequences!"

"Okay, I will remember your teachings." Coven expressed his obedience.

"Very good! Very good, little Coven!" Professor Flitwick finally revealed a smile again. He tried to lean forward from behind the podium and patted Coven on the shoulder. "No matter what, you are a genius! I think I can add 20 more points to Gryffindor with this question!"

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." Coven said with some embarrassment, "Thank you for your praise, and thank you for your bonus points."

"What a pity." Professor Flitwick retracted his body and shook his head with a sigh. "What a pity. Why did you go to Gryffindor?"

"I..." Coven was a little shy.

"No need to say, I know." Professor Flitwick smiled and said, "After the sorting, I especially went to ask Sorting Hat. After all, we all thought that you would come to me, Ravenclaw."

Professor Flitwick was a little helpless when he said this. He could not help but say, "I didn't expect that you actually took the initiative to go to Gryffindor because you liked to save trouble."

"Uh, this..." Coven was embarrassed.

"You don't know." Professor Flitwick laughed. "After that, your Professor McGonagall silently showed off in front of us for a long time."

"If we can change the house..." Coven probed, "I want to go to your Ravenclaw even more now."

"Oh, boy, that won't do." Professor Flitwick shook his head helplessly. "Once the House is sorted, it can not be changed."

"Sigh..."

Professor Flitwick and Coven sighed at the same time, and then they looked at each other and smiled...
