Will is something that cannot be measured specifically.
In the magic world, when all spells are cast, will, or what can also be called thoughts, and emotions are involved, and they play an equally important role as magic in the process of casting spells.
Just like learning the three D's of Apparition - destinatioion (calmness), this is actually all a manifestation of will.
But the biggest difference between people is the gap in thinking. Different people think that I can definitely accomplish something, but they are absolutely different in terms of determination.
In terms of magic, this is extremely intuitive.
For the same spell, such as the levitating spell, when the magic power, pronunciation and accuracy of the wand are exactly the same, the strength of the will determines the strength of the levitating spell.
Of course, such a gap will also appear when other conditions arise, but it is definitely not as obvious as it is consciously.
As said in the original work, the real dark wizards will never learn the Patronus Charm, because with their mentality there is no way to construct any beautiful thoughts in their minds. All other conditions are fine, but they directly
As a result, I can't even learn this magic.
According to Slughorn, Jon's will is much stronger than that of a normal wizard.
This is also the reason why he can forcefully use the floating spell that should have failed.
But even if such a weak effect is used, it is completely useless. What Jon needs to do next is to constantly try and make mistakes in the pronunciation of the spell.
Because there is no precedent at all, there is no most accurate pronunciation that has been tried countless times by predecessors for him to learn directly.
Even Slughorn couldn't help him at this point, and Jon could only rely on himself to explore bit by bit using exhaustive methods.
This kind of workload is actually not that small. Although it is just a spell, the floating spell has a total of eight tones. Depending on the length of the tones and the different pitches, there are almost thousands of combinations. But if he has more than a week of vacation left,
If you are all involved, you can basically test it out.
But before the official start, he ran to McGonagall's office and asked the transfiguration professor to help him conjure a scale.
Because his strong will helps him make the wrong spells work, he needs a more precise comparison to try out the difference.
In the next two days, Jon stayed completely in his dormitory. He prepared a large pile of parchment, starting from changing the syllable of the first sound of the spell, constantly changing the tone and length of the sound, and then observed himself on the scale.
changes in the body.
Even if the spell takes effect, the changes caused by most mispronunciations are subtle. What is visually reflected on the scale is that Jon's weight is between 500 grams and 1,000 grams lighter than before the spell was cast.
Of course, this effect was far from ideal. It would not provide him with any help at all, let alone allow him to fly in the air under the blessing of the floating spell as he had previously imagined.
The attempts continued like this until Neville and Ron returned to the carriage at the end of their holiday.
After Neville returned to the dormitory, he discovered that Jon seemed to be possessed, chanting the wrong levitating spell over and over again all day long, and then put on the scale to measure his weight.
"What's wrong with you? Aren't you the first among us to learn the levitating spell? Why can't you even recite it now? And even if you're practicing, you should be holding a wand, right?"
Neville looked at Jon worriedly, his face full of doubts as to whether he was under some evil spell.
Jon had no intention of hiding the practice of the Levitation Charm from him. Of course, he couldn't talk about the ring and spell casting. This was something Slughorn had specifically warned him about when he taught him Occlumency.
But as long as he explained to Neville that this was what the professor taught him, with Neville's current emotional intelligence, he was too sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
"Two kilograms, this is the largest weight loss so far, but it is definitely not much." Staring at the scale on the scale, Jon shook his head in disappointment, and typed one of the pronunciation combinations on the parchment again.
There is a difference, and then the weight loss is marked up.
After watching him perform so many experiments, Neville had already figured out what he wanted to do, and couldn't help but complain.
"I think it may be because you just went to the toilet, but in fact the effect has not improved at all."
In response to his reminder, Jon thought about it and nodded in agreement. He picked up the quill again and crossed out the weight marked next to the pronunciation combination, and wrote a value based on his estimated excretion just now.
"But can your attempt like this really succeed?" Neville couldn't help but say, "Professor Flitwick said when we first learned the levitation spell, this spell cannot affect wizards, otherwise it would
There's no such thing as a broomstick."
Jon didn't answer his question directly, he just shrugged and said.
"I'll try again."
As he spoke, he focused on the next set of spell pronunciations written on the parchment in advance.
"Well, this time let's shorten the three sounds of 'Jia', 'Wei', and 'Ao', and lengthen the five sounds of 'Yu', 'Di', 'Mu', 'Le', and 'Sa'
, let’s try it again.”
Neville just sat on the edge of the bed and watched Jon stand up and start chanting a spell, but he couldn't help but mumble something.
"Okay, you just happened to reverse the correct pronunciation of the Levitation Curse this time (Hermione taught Ron the correct pronunciation in the original book: Yuga-Dimlevi-O-Sa). Only then can you succeed.
It’s a strange thing.”
Just as he finished speaking, Jon had pronounced the spell combination with great clarity.
"Yu-gadi-m-le-viosa-!"
The moment the spell was recited, Jon realized that this time was special.
The magic power has never been so clearly mobilized, just like when he normally uses a wand to cast spells!
Without the wand as an outlet, the magic power passed through his body through the ring and then returned to his body.
A sudden feeling of lightness came over his body, which almost caused Jon to stumble, lose his balance and fall to the ground. Fortunately, he immediately held on to the desk and regained his balance.
Neville also discovered Jon's anomaly, but he did not think that Jon's experiment was successful at first, but looked at him suspiciously.
"Are you just pretending?"
Jon's face showed an extremely excited look. He didn't speak, but gave Neville an answer directly with practical actions. He held the desk with one hand and jumped up with all his strength.
"Peng!"
The next second, his head hit the three-meter-high ceiling of the carriage.
