➣ Level Up 』

'Wow, feels great!'

However, I did experience 2 unexpected things during 'Use' spree.

First, is that magical books apparently provide one skill and at first I thought it provides the skill that is mainly discussed in the book. Like magic book mainly discusses gestures of the wand than I will get increase in gesturing, but later I found out that it is not true.

I was unable to read many books about magic channeling, because they are pretty scarce, or I was just unlucky in finding them. Anyway, I got an increase in it from books that bȧrėly even scratch that topic. Apparently, system gives a raise randomly out of 3 magic skills.

However, that is not true for magic theory. Books that focus on magical theory give only magic theory skill. So far, at least.

Second surprise was that some magical books in place of skill raise provide a spell that was being discussed in the book in detail. For example, one book about transfiguration and how to cancel its effects gave me ”Un-Transfiguration Spell”.

Overall, I got 7 spells and 44 skill raises just in pathetic 30 minutes. That makes my previous 2 months of work look worthless. My feelings were mixed, indeed.

Well, whatever. I am not sure about how many levels I got, because after receiving a notification about a level up, it stopped appearing.

Time to go to room and check new abilities and spend experience.

*An hour later*

『 Level 12 ➣ Not enough experience 』

『 Magicka ➣ Improvement : 7 ➔ 11 』

『 Stamina ➣ Improvement : 0 』

『 Number of skill points: 2 』

My level rose to 12, but that was not the most important thing here.

I double checked the new skills I got, because I still couldn't believe the prospects they bring.

『 Magic Theory 』

〖Empowering〗

〖Great knowledge of theory allows you to make magic you wield increase or decrease in effect, masterfully controlling amount of magic you channel for it. Degree of change in the amount depends on Magic Theory level.〗

『 Magic Channeling 』

〖You can change concentration of magic you channel to make you increase absolute power or slightly change properties(e.g. Concentrate a ray in an arrow). Degree of concentration depends on Magic Channeling level.〗

『 Magic Chanting 』

〖Less Chants 1/2 (50)〗

〖It is easier to learn to use simple magic without using chants. Spells you know well and studied for a long time can be used without chants subconsciously. If you mastered spell and can cast its chantless version, chanting such a spell will increase its power.〗

Using all that even small Incendio that used to light a fire can be used as a deadly ray of flame or flamethrower. Of course, the basis for that is to learn and master spells enough to start experimenting with casting them.

Now I understand how in films people were casting spells differently in different moments. Spell 'Avada Kedavra' for example sometimes was used like a ray and others like an arrow or a bullet shot. This explains a lot.

Plus, doing chantless and gesturless magic will be cool. Though I expect wandless magic won't come soon. After all, wands became such a popular instrument not without a reason.

And now that I got a ton of new spells, I can practice them and hopefully master some of them.

Also, tomorrow will be a last day before a Halloween. Where the heck is that troll? In the film, troll attacked before the first Quidditch match and after dog discovery. I am waiting for so long. October nearly finished. I remember it should be after charms lesson with Levitation charm, but when it's going to be, no idea.

I am happy to have more time to prepare, but what if troll never appeared in book and it was just a film thing? I am a bit anxious.

Ah, whatever. Today I saved twice, and I have only 2 slots again. I will remove save when I picked first abilities for now. You never know when you will need saves and in the moment of need, I might not have time to pick what to delete. So better have more slots.

Or am I too careful…? Ah, whatever! Now to sleep.
