Hogwarts Card System Chapter 065

“Ding~ Your Wizard profession has leveled up. Current level is Wizard Level 4. You have gained 1 attribute point, 1 skill point, and one talent draw.”

Ted thought for a moment and decided to add the attribute point to “Spirit.”

After all, Spirit is the primary attribute for both Wizards and Psionics, so adding to it would definitely not be a loss.

Now he had 11 points.

As for the skill point, he ultimately added it to “Magic Power.”

The same reasoning applied: other skills, whether spells, transfiguration, potions, herbology, etc., were still far from needing points for improvement.

Ted could completely improve them through self-study now.

But “Magic Power” was different; this thing, to a greater or lesser extent, carried some innate limitations.

Although it wasn’t impossible to improve in the magical world, it wasn’t easy. So adding to it was definitely the right choice.

Moreover, magic power was the foundation of a wizard; powerful magic power guaranteed the casting of powerful spells.

After Ted finished adding the points, he felt the magic power within him begin to riot again!

He stumbled into the washroom, where surrounding objects had already begun to float.

Magic power started overflowing from Ted’s body, tearing mirrors, tiles, and other objects into pieces! The fragments floated in mid-air, unable to fall for a long time.

This “secondary magic power riot” lasted for a full ten minutes before it stopped.

Ted’s magic power had surged several times compared to before!

At this point, judging solely by the strength of his magic power, an ordinary adult wizard was no match for Ted. Even some rookie Aurors wouldn’t be his opponents.

His current level was “Magic Power Lv 5 (+ 1).” With a wand, Ted had reached Magic Power Level 6!

Some non-head of house professors at the school didn’t even have such high levels.

At least Professor Trelawney, whom Ted had accidentally encountered and secretly used an appraisal spell on, only had Magic Power Lv 5.

However, she had Divination Lv 7.

This at least showed that she was capable in her specialized field.

Ted used a “Reparo” to restore the washroom, which looked as if it had been bombed, to its original state.

Next was the main event—the talent!

“System, draw talent!”

As soon as Ted’s voice fell, three cards arrayed themselves in his mind.

The first card had a blue border, depicting a human figure standing amidst countless sharp ice spikes.

[Ice Bloodline (Blue)]

Talent Card

Grants you an ice bloodline. When casting ice-type magic, – 15% casting difficulty, + 20% power, and a high chance of causing a chilling slow or freezing effect on the target. Immune to cold and ice.

Note: Possessing an ice bloodline is highly likely to affect your fire-type magic; otherwise, it would be a “Red” tier talent card.

Lowering casting difficulty means making it simpler. Originally, a wand and incantation were indispensable, but now a simple gesture plus a vocal tone might be enough. Convenient and fast.

As for power, that needed no explanation.

The main benefit was the added effect: ice-type magic would inherently cause freezing or slowing, and with this talent, it would almost certainly CC enemies.

However, this talent also had a negative effect: it would affect the learning and casting of fire-type magic.

The second card had a red border, depicting a person casting a spell with a wand, with a shadow behind them performing the same action and firing the same spell.

[Dual Casting (Red)]

Talent Card

Grants you a certain chance to cast dual magic when casting spells.

Note: The second magic is controllable and consumes no magic power.

This talent was simply amazing!

Imagine, you instantly cast a Disarming Charm, and two fly out instead! The opponent’s defense instantly breaks.

Or those overconfident wizards who always deflect spells with their wands. They deflect one, only to be hit by the other!

Or for defensive spells, directly two layers of Shield Charm. The opponent would spend twice the magic power and still might not break through!

And the third card had a purple border! It depicted a back view of someone studying at a desk, surrounded by stacks of books.

[Academic God (Purple)]

Talent Card

Greatly increases your learning efficiency, making it easier for you to learn difficult and obscure knowledge and techniques.

– 20% experience required for magic upgrades, – 10% experience required for level upgrades.

Note: Increased learning efficiency is affected by Intelligence and Spirit attributes.

Ha~ There was no need to say which one to choose, right?

Just the – 10% experience required for level upgrades was enough to tempt Ted.

He was just Level 4 now, and gaining experience for leveling up already took a long time. For his dual professions to reach high levels, he would need a massive amount of experience.

This – 10% would save countless experience points then!

Moreover, there was also – 20% experience required for magic upgrades. Although Ted hadn’t spent experience to upgrade magic before, that was just because he felt that at his current level, he still had a lot of room for improvement and didn’t need to use his golden finger.

In reality, if a certain magic reached a very high level, it would become very difficult to improve its level through normal learning and research methods. At that time, Ted would need to invest experience to forcibly upgrade it.

Furthermore, this talent also had the effect of “greatly increasing learning efficiency,” which could also improve self-study efficiency!

As expected of a purple talent card, awesome~

You’re the one!

…

With the [Academic God (Purple)] talent, Ted’s learning efficiency soared again.

He was already much faster than Hermione before.

Hermione was already a top student, almost completing a semester’s worth of material in half a semester.

But now, Ted’s learning achievements in one day were enough for her to study for several days.

Ted could almost “decipher, transcribe, and develop” new magic every day.

He had already basically mastered the “Legilimency” he had just acquired.

However, he would never easily use such mind-manipulating things on his classmates.

So currently, his test subjects were only a batch of white mice he had urgently purchased.

Ansu had new snacks now~

Mastery of Legilimency directly raised Ted’s Psionic abilities to Lv 2!

In addition, within two weeks, Ted “invented” five new spells: Frost Nova (commonly known as Ice Ring), Fire Blast, Arcane Missiles, Detect Secret Doors, and Protection from Evil!

Frost Nova: Emits a surge of icy magic in a circle around the caster, impacting all nearby enemies, dealing frost damage and freezing them in place.

Commonly known as Ice Ring, it is one of the fundamental spells that Azeroth mages rely on for survival. To avoid being ambushed or rushed, Ice Ring is an essential technique!

Fire Blast: Casts a blast of fire at an enemy, dealing instant fire damage.

The advantage of this spell is that it’s instant cast and has no projectile. It instantly appears on your target, preventing it from being dodged or blocked.

Of course, the damage is limited for this reason. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be Fire Blast; it would be cremation!

Arcane Missiles: Fires several homing arcane missiles at the target.

The advantage of this spell is that once cast, you don’t need to manage it; it will lock onto the enemy to a certain extent. Unless you perform a 360-degree Thomas full twist over a drainage ditch, it’s hard to shake off.

Moreover, it deals both magical and physical damage. The name “missile” is no joke.

Ted tested it and found it could easily blast the bark of a hundred-year-old tree, creating a two to three-centimeter indentation.

Hitting someone with this would inevitably break bones!

Detect Secret Doors: After casting, reveals all hidden secret doors within a 60-foot radius centered on the caster.

This was a spell Ted researched to facilitate exploring the school and finding hidden things; it’s a specialty of D&D wizards.

After casting, nearby secret doors would glow with magical blue light, becoming very conspicuous in Ted’s eyes.

Protection from Evil: Bestows a special effect on the caster, granting various advantages and suppression when facing evil creatures, making evil entities feel very uncomfortable and oppressed, limiting some of their abilities.

This is somewhat similar to the “Muggle-Repelling Charm,” falling under the category of repelling charms.

However, it doesn’t make people suddenly remember urgent matters; instead, it directly causes negative effects, forcing them to leave or weakening their combat effectiveness.

This was something Ted prepared for the dark creatures in the magical world.

If there was another “Three Monsters Rampage at Hogwarts,” Ted’s low-level spell would make them very uncomfortable, reducing their combat effectiveness by two to three tenths!

Ted’s sudden “enlightenment” completely bewildered Hermione.

The other小伙伴 didn’t feel much, after all, the original Ted was already beyond their comparison.

They only knew that Ted now spent less time on homework, writing several inches in a few minutes, making it easier for them to copy assignments.

But Hermione truly felt this immense pressure.

She had secretly been competing with Ted!

Before, with diligence, she could keep up, at least not fall behind. She was resilient.

But now, no amount of desperate diligence could catch up!

Before, Ted was just fast at “looking” at books; now, he was fast at “reading” and researching too.
