"...Absolute motion does not exist, and absolute stillness also does not exist."
"From an objective point of view, the movement and rest of an object are relative and relative to the selected reference object."
Filius Flitwick stood on the tall stack of books, looking around at the curious little wizards.
"So, classmates, I have a little question before learning the freezing spell: Compared with the spells we have learned before, what are the essential similarities of this spell? What are the differences? I mean,
Compared to the fire-making charm, the levitation charm - eh, Miss Granger?"
"The common point is that we are all using magic to change the properties of objects. As for the differences..."
Hermione hesitated for a few seconds and whispered with some uncertainty, "The frame of reference of the freezing curse is subjective perception, not objective existence?"
With the reform of Hogwarts' new curriculum standards, the knowledge in textbooks can no longer answer all questions.
Many classes have begun to become more flexible and changeable. Even top students like Luna and Hermione are often unable to fully understand the professors' questions. From various information, they can combine the answers that suit the professor.
The correct answer to our latest theory.
Except for Elena, all the students' undefeated status was broken this semester.
"Exactly! Five points to Gryffindor!"
Flitwick said happily, waving his wand slightly in the air.
"The Freezing Curse, the spell is [Immobulus], and it is quite simple to cast and clean up the spell. Just recite the spell with an average wand - the biggest difficulty with this spell is that your mind must be very clear and the magic power must be released in a concentrated manner. In previous textbooks,
We will pay more attention to your casting target, but according to my latest research results, proper observation of yourself will increase the success rate of spell casting."
"Maybe it's a bit unintuitive to say this, so let me think about it...Miss Kaslana."
Flitwick pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at Elena, who was sitting in the first row of the classroom.
"Now, could you please pick up your textbook and throw it in my direction - you can use your special skills on the Quidditch pitch, I mean that terrifying high-speed throw, and let's see, here
How does the freezing spell work correctly under these circumstances?"
"Eh? Are you sure you want to hit me head-on to strengthen the throw?"
Elena was stunned and glanced at Professor Flitwick with a strange expression.
That was the forbidden skill that almost ended the first generation of the Dark Lord.
Even if the weapon is not a fist, a Quaffle, or another sharp, fluid object, being hit by a copy of "Basic Charms, Level 2" at such a close distance can almost directly knock Professor Flitwick out of his body.
The Charms classroom breaks into St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries.
"Don't worry, I was a wizard duel champion when I was young."
Professor Flitwick smiled gently and raised his wand in a calm manner.
Since Hogwarts reclassified the lower grades, each class in the first and second grades is no longer divided into two groups according to the house, but is formed by students from four houses. He just took advantage of this today.
Opportunity to teach students how to use magic to deal with brute force.
In fact, Flitwick will invite Hannah to cooperate in tomorrow's second grade class B class.
After all, unknowingly, the strange powers displayed by Elena and Hannah began to shake many students' confidence in magic.
"Well, okay, if you insist..."
Elena curled her lips and glanced at Professor Flitwick with a firm expression.
This was not a life-and-death struggle, and considering that Umbridge was watching, she didn't intend to act too out of the ordinary. After thinking for half a second, she silently whispered "Rua" three standard times.
He casually grabbed the "Basic Magic Spells, Level 2" on the table.
"Careful, I'm starting to lose-"
boom!
Before anyone around him could react, a black blurry object crossed the space and struck above Professor Flitwick's head.
Along with the "Basic Charms, Level 2" that rushed out like a cannonball, Professor Flitwick's calm and clear voice of chanting spells sounded in the classroom.
"Immobulus!"
The next moment, a powerful force of magic burst out from the tip of Professor Flitwick's wand.
The unstoppable "Basic Spell, Level 2" seemed to have been pressed on the pause button, and it suddenly hovered in mid-air.
It was only then that Hermione's somewhat annoyed voice came out.
"Hey! That's my book! Elena!"
"Sorry, I didn't pay attention to the name. I'll give this copy to you for now -"
Elena casually responded to Hermione without any sincerity, and looked at the textbook floating quietly in mid-air in amazement.
Strictly speaking, this was not the first time she had seen the "Freezing Curse".
A few months ago, Dumbledore had used a similar method to stop her Quaffle, but compared to Professor Flitwick, Scary Carrot directly omitted the wand movement and basic spells, and only used "stop"
” This simple, everyday word completes the spellcasting.
And even earlier, before Elena arrived in this world, she had briefly learned about this magic on the screen and in books.
If the world line does not change, then when Hermione and her "useless crew" face the Cornwall elf, Hermione will use this spell to create a time and space similar to "The World"
"So, Professor, the actual effect of this spell is to use magic to keep objects in a certain area relatively stationary to the caster?"
Elena recalled Professor Flitwick's introduction just now and asked softly thoughtfully.
A spell is a supernatural, controllable use of magic with the purpose of affecting everything in the world. It is generally used by wizards or witches, and sometimes other magical creatures. This is written in "Basic Magic"
The standard definition above "Mantra".
Generally speaking, four basic conditions need to be met for the successful use of magic spells:
Specific wand movements, the correct spell, the caster's subjective awareness of the spell's effect, and a certain level of concentration on the part of the caster.
Compared with the latter two factors, the first two are more like a coded "magic spelling instruction", which can help the little wizards better sort out their magic power.
Like the molten iron in the grinding tool, it creates some designated magic effects.
"Basic Magic, Level 2" does not elaborate on the core of magic. It is more like an instruction manual than a popular science textbook.
Even if students don't really understand the meaning of those magics, they can still perform them smoothly.
"It's almost like that, but it's not quite accurate."
Professor Flitwick smiled and nodded, gently waving the wand in his hand.
The "Basic Charms, Level 2" suspended in mid-air floated back to Elena and Hermione's desk.
"The establishment of a stationary frame of reference is particularly important. In real life, we are not always in a 'completely stationary' state - we may be on a broomstick, on the Hogwarts Express, or on the back of a Pegasus.
Up, maybe running, falling..."
Professor Flitwick continued, looking around the classroom at the confused students who seemed to understand, and tapped his wand on the blackboard behind him.
"On the other hand, when you are casting a spell, it is better for the meaning in your mind to stop rather than freeze."
"Cough, cough."
Professor Umbridge coughed.
This was the first time she took the initiative to interrupt Professor Flitwick since class today.
Professor Flitwick frowned and turned his head to his side in confusion.
"What's wrong, Professor Umbridge?"
"Oh, professor, I just want to make a general confirmation. The theories you just mentioned don't seem to be consistent with the content of O.W.L.s-"
"Updates of textbooks and test papers often lag behind, but in the field of spells, more accurate and safe spell casting is obviously the most important. Our core is to let students learn to cast spells and understand how to choose the most appropriate spells.
Solve any troubles you may encounter."
Professor Flitwick bowed politely, turned his head to look at the students again, and continued.
"As I just said, the core of the freezing spell is 'freezing movement' rather than lowering the temperature -"
"Cough, cough."
"Huh? Are you... having a bad throat?"
"In the N.E.W.Ts exam, one of them is a practical assessment on the 'Freezing Curse'. Candidates should use the magic spell to accurately freeze the paper bird controlled by the examiner within ten seconds. If I remember correctly, that is a pretty good subject.
Cold exam items. Of course, I am not questioning your expertise in Charms, but judging from the current situation, the content and methods of your teaching seem to be quite different from those before..."
Professor Umbridge smiled and said softly that as the Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic, her grades at Hogwarts were not bad.
Charms, on the other hand, happened to be the subject in which she was relatively good at.
Although she is slightly weaker in resolving spells, she has always been quite good in terms of spell completion and success rate.
"Oh, you said this, this is an advanced course. In the microscopic realm, some wonderful changes - temperature changes are just phenomena."
Filius Flitwick said softly with an unchanging smile, "Of course, in the lower grades, I think it is better to understand it from a macro perspective first, so that students can build a correct and solid foundation first, which will be more conducive to them mastering those higher-level subjects.
Level spell casting skills.”
"Phenomenon? Microscopic, macroscopic? Professor Flitwick, are you..."
Umbridge raised her eyebrows, tapped her quill on the writing board twice, and said sweetly.
"These sound like things that are only studied by Muggles. Do you think it is necessary for wizards to learn Muggle knowledge first when learning how to cast spells? For example..." She raised her toad-like pair of hands.
With the same swollen eyes, he looked at the blackboard and said, "Those childish, superficial, time-wasting formulas and theorems you wrote on the blackboard, this should be Hogwarts, not a Muggle school, right?"
"Simple? Naive? You know, I have been studying for more than a week and have just figured out a little bit of knowledge."
Flitwick was stunned for two or three seconds, scratched his left forehead helplessly, spread his hands and said.
"And just this change is reflected in the release of the spell, whether it is spell casting stability, spell casting speed, spell intensity... the improvement it brings can be said to be a qualitative change. This is new knowledge, Professor Umbridge, back then
When you were in class at Hogwarts, I should have said this - in the process of learning spells, impetuousness and complacency are taboos. If you don't understand, just learn it with the children, there is no shame in it...
…”
Professor Umbridge looked as if a silencing spell had been cast on her, as her mouth opened and closed several times.
Unlike several other professors, Filius Flitwick can be said to be the third most senior wizard in the school.
Not to mention Umbridge, 99% of the officials in the Ministry of Magic were once his students.
Therefore, when Professor Flitwick announced that she was rejoining the class, she had little room for rebuttal.
However, compared to the emotional shame, what was most difficult for Umbridge to accept was that the accident in Charms completely disrupted her plans - if she spent too much energy on the review of this course,
Then not only will it be impossible to continue the follow-up work, but the basic base may even be lost.
But if you pretend that you haven't discovered any problems and just go through as planned...
Umbridge straightened the parchment on the writing board, looked at the writing on the blackboard with a solemn expression, and started writing hastily.
According to the news from the Ministry of Magic, Filius Flitwick does not belong to Dumbledore's camp, which means that if they do not want to eventually face the complete Hogwarts, they have to make certain compromises.
——After all, she still had to free up her hands to review the vice principal.
However, this is the study of Charms... If something really goes wrong...
Professor Flitwick looked indifferent, ignored Umbridge who fell into silence, and spoke to the class again.
"I just said: Freezing spell, with different reference systems, as well as the range of objects we target, and the accuracy is different, its manifestations in the naked eye and tactile fields will also be different. But I hope you always remember one thing
, its core effectiveness. In the early stages, I hope that you will try not to affect the surrounding temperature as much as possible - low temperature means that there are distracting thoughts in your mind, or the magic power has overflowed..."
"Okay, now let me explain in detail how to build and maintain your respective static reference systems -"
"Elena, do you know what the advanced spell-casting technique Professor Flitwick was talking about?"
Hermione asked in a low voice. As usual, she and Elena completed the spell perfectly at almost the same time after Professor Flitwick's explanation - there was no temperature drop, and the thrown paper ball was silently
Still in the air.
This obviously met Professor Flitwick's requirements, but it did not match the descriptions Hermione had seen in other charms reference books before.
"It's very simple, just look at the world from a different angle."
"Look at the world from a different angle?" Hermione blinked in confusion.
"Well, it's like this-"
Elena smiled slightly, secretly glanced at Flitwick who was still busy at the back of the classroom, and gently tapped Hermione with her finger.
