Magic is a very idealistic thing. Even if the truth makes sense, it is a spiritual truth, not a universal truth of things.
For example, the 'Arrow Deflection' developed by the Order of the Phoenix, its magical effect is actually a palace lantern suspended above the head and a little in front.
Anton asked Luping about this matter, hoping to understand the principle, but Luping's reply was full of wizard-like content.
——Because everyone grew up listening to wizard fairy tales.
Well……
Among wizard fairy tales, there is a very classic story about a child who strays into a dark forest. The forest is full of rugged rocks, the trees look like ghosts in the darkness, and the wind howls like beasts.
A child gets a magical lantern. After lighting the lantern, the light gives him power, allowing him to overcome all the things that scare him, avoid harm from ghosts and beasts, and come to an uninhabited palace full of treasures.
The content of fairy tales is very simple, but light gives power, which has become a concept in the hearts of many wizards since childhood.
This has great inspiration for the study of collective consciousness in the field of gray magic.
But the collective subconscious is the collective subconscious. Anton has a way to leverage this power, but it is difficult to reverse this inherent consciousness with his personal will.
Light gives strength to resist harm, and the light comes from a lantern, preferably a palace lantern.
This is the law of the magical world.
Unless someone can consciously guide other cultures to prevail in society, everyone thinks so. And this concept will be passed down orally from generation to generation, and will be quoted in fairy tales and adult works.
, strengthened in people's hearts over and over again.
Thus, a powerful collective subconscious is formed.
Based on this concept, Anton was keenly aware of a super treasure!
Muggle!
Yes, they are Muggles. Muggles have magic power, they just don't have the ability to sense and guide the release of magic power.
Their influence on collective consciousness is definitely far greater than that of wizards.
Compared to the pitiful population of wizards who may disappear in the long river of history due to a world war at any time, the population of Muggles is simply too much.
So……
An interesting conclusion came to this: the 'Bone Shield Curse' invented by Anton and the 'Arrow Deflection Curse' of the Order of the Phoenix. The effects of these two curses will become more powerful in the future, and the learning threshold will be higher.
Low, wider application range.
This is because the image and effect of these magics will form a cultural definition among the huge population of the Muggle world through online games and novels, thereby enhancing the overall number of collective consciousness.
This is the magical gray magic theory!
"So, the wizarding power war in the new era will spread to the field of cultural war and snatch the right to define?"
Anton smiled happily and suddenly felt that it was very interesting to interpret magic from this perspective.
Gray magic is very fun. It seems that he has to find a way to prepare a newspaper company to produce some magazines and periodicals.
"Huh?"
He was suddenly stunned.
"It seems...I think I already have it?"
Lucius Malfoy sold nearly half of his family property and gave it to the silent man Rookwood to open a newspaper in France...
The lake of the soul surged, past memories were quickly filtered, related pictures jumped into the mind, and a picture of a letter from Rookwood reporting information to himself appeared in front of his eyes.
The content is probably that he started to fund some cultural hooligans, intending to resell stories among Muggles and wizards in the form of "Witches Translate Muggles" and "Muggles Translate Witches". He also asked Anton if he needed to help him compile a "Three of Anton's Stories"
One Thousand Six Hundred and Fifty Bedtime Stories" was rejected by Anton.
Anton's evaluation at the time was that Rookwood was indeed a Death Eater and was evil enough.
With such a foundation, Anton seems to be able to form some new wizard cultural symbols in the Muggle world based on the principles of gray magic without the wizard group paying attention, and 'invent' some new wizards based on these wizard cultural symbols.
magic.
First think about what magic you want, and then go to the Muggles to build momentum!
"Quack quack..."
"This is so fun!"
"It seems that we need to find a time to discuss this issue with Luke Wood in person another day."
"Don't just focus on text books, comics, animations, games and movies should be the mainstay!"
"Oh, yes, you can also set up a website, which seems to promote some pseudo-culture of wizard society. Wizards will think it is nonsense, and Muggles who know the existence of wizards will laugh it off after confirming it, but in the end, quack quack
...They will find out that, oh my, Anton actually did it?"
Anton thought about it with excitement and felt that this matter had great potential.
"etc!"
The surging memories in the lake of soul jumped into his mind one by one, and Anton took a sharp breath.
"Website...newspaper agency...bookseller..."
"Good guy, Grindelwald has all these!"
Do all prophets play like this? Damn, these people's magic is so easy to use, it's like they are cheating.
Of course, all this doesn't mean anything. Anton doesn't believe that Lao Ge can know "grey magic". If he could do it in New York at that time, he would definitely be able to see the clues.
Anton can generously spread "Wizards Are Gods" because he has begun to enter a deeper field of "grey magic", and he is not just thinking about something and sharing it impatiently.
"It's not a big problem."
Compared to these calculations, Anton preferred magic. He slowly walked out of the Thestral's habitat, thinking about new magic in his mind, and walked around the campus at will.
Compared with the hustle and bustle of society, the school seems very quiet and comfortable, which is very suitable for doing magic research.
Facing the faint moist breeze blowing from the surface of the Black Lake, Anton's eyes narrowed slightly.
The field of collective consciousness also needs to be explored based on the power of individual souls.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But there is a huge difference from the previous individual spell casting direction: individual spell casting pays attention to "characteristics", while collective spell casting pays attention to "commonality".
The more unique, the more strongly biased, the more twisted, paranoid, and strongly self-conscious the mind, the more powerful magic can be released.
And magic at the level of collective consciousness will call upon the lowest level of spiritual power, which is more primitive and closer to animal instinct.
But this is the magic of wizards after all, not the magical influence of collective consciousness on nature on a wider level. Therefore, spell casting in the field of 'grey magic' requires finding a convergence between the individual and the collective.
Only in this way can the most powerful magic be unleashed.
There are so many directions that can be studied, such as leadership-type spellcasting, where a powerful wizard casts a spell that affects all individuals around him.
For example, in collective spell casting, all individuals cast spells together and converge into one magic.
Thinking on this scale is not so easy to master when it comes to performing magic in reality.
"a ray of sunshine!"
He tapped his left hand lightly with the wand in his hand, and just for a moment, a ray of sunshine with warm light appeared in his palm.
That kind of warmth, as if there is temperature, makes the whole body warm up. It is also like there is no temperature, permeating the heart, and the soul becomes particularly relaxed, tough and full of vitality under the light of the warm sun.
As the sun filled the air, the creatures near Anton seemed to be restless.
The lake water surged, and a green horse-shaped water monster rose from the lake, its huge eyes looking at Anton curiously.
"Hello~"
Anton looked at it with a smile, looking at an orange light floating on top of its head, "Can you feel the warmth too? Mr. Water Monster."
"Xilulu~~~"
The horse-shaped water monster stretched its long neck and looked up to the sky, shouting. It jumped out of the water and plunged into the lake, making high splashes.
"Wow, wow~"
Anton dodged the splashing water and laughed.
The horse-shaped water monster may think this is very funny, and it keeps jumping out of the water and diving in, splashing in the water.
"Quack quack..."
It's strange that although Anton is not a magizoologist, he can always get along well with these magical animals in Hogwarts Castle.
