Rubik’s Cube of Heavens Chapter 33: The essence of the spell

In the afternoon, after the Charms get out of class ended, Kewen, who once again added five points to Gryffindor, did not leave the classroom immediately.

Coming to the desk, Kewen asked politely to Professor Flitwick, who was standing behind the desk above a stack of books, "Professor, may I ask you a question?"

"Of course, of course." Professor Flitwick stopped the movement of packing the textbook and said enthusiastically: "Little Kewen, what's the problem that stumped you, a genius?"

"I'm not a genius." Kewen quickly denied it, and then said: "It's such a professor, I found that most of the spells follow the same pattern."

"What's the rule?" Professor Flitwick didn't wait for Kewen to finish speaking, and immediately interjected, with expressions of joy, surprise, and anticipation on his face, and his expression changed very quickly.

Cowwen, of course, noticed the changes in Professor Flitwick's face, but now is not the time to care about those, so he continued: "I found that most of... I mean these spells that I know now."

"Most of these spells, although they appear to be one word, are composed of one part Old Latin and another part Old English."

"Go on! Go on!" Professor Flitwick was even more excited, his eyes were almost shining, his hands were on the podium, his upper body leaned forward, and his tone urged expectantly.

"Well... that's it." Cowen didn't understand why Professor Flitwick was so excited, and continued: "In my induction, the ancient Latin part of these spells is responsible for triggering magical effects, and The old English part triggers the control effect on magic."

"Go on!" Professor Flitwick urged again, moving his fingers with excitement.

"Let's take the floating spell as a metaphor." Kewen nodded slightly and continued: "The first half of the spell is read in Old English, which means commanding the elevation, and the second half is in Old Latin, symbolizing the The concept of levitating. Taken together, it directs the object to float."

"The same is true for other spells, such as the Flying Spell. The whole spell is the concept of 'Flying' in ancient Latin, plus the specified items in English, and the combination is a complete Flying Spell."

"Genius!" Professor Flitwick suddenly exclaimed in admiration, startling Kewen.

"Genius! Little Kewen, you are a genius!" Professor Flitwick was so excited that he calmed down a little after a long time, and said to Kewen, "You are right, most of the spells are true, but there are other not only in Old English and Old Latin, but in other ancient languages ​​as well.”

"Ancient Dongba, ancient Chinese, ancient Egyptian, ancient Maya, ancient Atlantis, etc., etc., etc.!" Professor Flitwick sighed: "All ancient scripts have magic power! Magical power! Curse! Curse! The essence is the power of language!"

"It's a pity..." Professor Flitwick sighed when he said this: "Thousands of years have passed, and many ancient scripts have been lost. The oldest complete language is the rune script. Of course, I highly recommend you take this course in third grade."

"I will take it as an elective." Kewen confirmed, and then asked: "Then professor, so, can I develop some magic spells by myself according to this law?"

"Development spells?" Professor Flitwick was surprised.

"That's right. For example, I used ancient Latin to inspire the concept of 'frost'." Cowen said metaphorically: "Then use English to manipulate the concept, such as the word burst."

"Oh no! Absolutely not!" Professor Flitwick immediately exclaimed, startling Kewen again.

"What?" Kewen asked in surprise and puzzled.

"Don't! Listen to Xiao Kewen! Don't randomly experiment and develop magic spells!" Professor Flitwick exhorted loudly and solemnly.

"Good professor." Seeing this, Kewen agreed no matter what, and calmed Professor Flitwick's excitement a little, and then said, "I have no idea of ​​developing experiments privately, so I came here to act like a professor. Please ask."

"Very good little Kewen! Your approach is very correct!" Professor Flitwick praised, and then said with some fear: "I said just now that spells are the power of language, right Language inspires right power, and wrong language..."

After a pause, Professor Flitwick continued: "I also use the 'floating spell' you just mentioned as an analogy."

"In the Floating Spell, if you change the pronunciation of S to F, then it will not be a Floating Spell, it will become an Uncertain Spell! Many people have chanted this spell wrong, and in all the bad examples , the one who was the least bitten by the spell was smashed by the suddenly appearing old cow, smashing the ribs and internal organs!"

"Therefore, little Kewen!" Professor Flitwick urged solemnly: "Don't experiment with spells by yourself~IndoMTL.com~ Even if you read the spell correctly, even a single tone different, there will be unforeseen consequences!"

"Okay, I will keep your teaching in mind." Kewen said obediently.

"Very good! Very good little Kewen!" Professor Flitwick finally smiled again, tried to lean over from behind the podium, raised his hand and patted Kewen on the shoulder and said, "Anyway, you are a genius! I Thought I could add twenty points to Gryffindor for your question!"

"Thank you, Professor Flitwick." Kewen said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for your compliment, and thank you for your extra points."

"It's a pity." Professor Flitwick retracted, shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity why did you go to Gryffindor?"

"I..." Kewen was a little embarrassed.

"Needless to say, I know." Professor Flitwick smiled interestingly: "After the sorting, I specifically asked the Sorting Hat. After all, we all thought you would come to Ravenclaw."

Professor Flitwick said this, a little helpless, and a little bit can't help but laugh: "I didn't expect you to ask to go to Gryffindor because you like to save trouble."

"Uh this..." Kewen was embarrassed.

"You don't know." Professor Flitwick said amusingly, "How long did your Professor McGonagall show off silently in front of us after that?"

"If you can change the college..." Kewen said tentatively: "I want to go to your Ravenclaw even more now."

"Oh, boy, that's not going to work." Professor Flitwick shook his head helplessly: "Once you are assigned a college, you can't change it."

"Hey..."

Professor Flitwick and Kewen both sighed at the same time, then looked at each other and laughed...
