A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 196 The Problem with the Scaling Curse
The first weekend of the new school year, Felix was very busy.

As the first dueling class approached, he had to finalize the candidate for the third resident professor as soon as possible.In private, he asked Flitwick and Professor McGonagall for their thoughts.

Professor McGonagall politely rejected him on the grounds that she was also the vice-principal, and there were many trivial things in the school that required her to worry about.

"If it's just once or twice, I'd be happy," she said to Felix.

The progress on the other side was very smooth. Almost as soon as he opened his mouth, Flitwick accepted the invitation readily, as if he had been waiting for this day.

From a neutral point of view, Felix also agreed that Flitwick was the most suitable candidate for the professor.

As the person in charge of the dueling class, he had to comprehensively consider the difficulty and learnability of the spells he taught, because he was facing students from all seven grades in the school.

As an experienced charm teacher, Flitwick undoubtedly mastered a lot of techniques to simplify the difficulty of learning spells.

In contrast, Transfiguration seems to have a higher threshold - it is not an easy task to flexibly use Transfiguration in duels, it is a test of the wizard's silent and fast casting and imagination of duels.

And even for the senior students of Hogwarts, it is difficult to display mature biological transformation silently, let alone in the state of battle.

"Transfiguration is the field of genius, representing the unconstrained style of magic." These are the words written by a dueling master who is good at transfiguration in the magic handbook, and Felix partly agrees with his point of view.

Office of the Head of Ravenclaw.

After solving the invitation problem, Felix and Flitwick spent nearly a day discussing the improvement of the 'Zoom Charm'.

"The scaling spell does not perform well on magical creatures. Of course, it may also be because the current test creature is only one kind of Flobber caterpillar, which is not representative." Felix took out a stack of test data from the ring, Pass it to Flitwick.

Flobber caterpillars are ten-inch worms that are generally tan in color and prefer moist conditions, and can be found in the shade of the Forbidden Forest.

Although Flobber caterpillar slime can thicken magic potions, they are not taken seriously because they are so common that they are comparable to cat raccoons.They are one of the food sources for other magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, and they are at the bottom of the entire biological chain.

So Felix tested with Flobber caterpillars without any psychological burden, without worrying about legal issues.But the results are often not good.Pustules sprouting from the already ugly caterpillar looked menacing.

And most importantly, he never found the problem.

Flitwick sat on a chair with a blue cushion, his feet dangling in the air. He flipped through the data, thinking carefully: "Could it be related to the imbalance of magic?"

"Unbalanced?" Felix asked.

"That's right, I re-examined this spell recently. I completed the scaling spell book with reference to modern magic theory. It can be said that it is a spliced ​​spell. Therefore, there may be incoherence in the magic power at the junction."

Felix thought for a while and said, "I've also considered this issue, but during the process of casting the spell, I didn't feel anything strange, nor did I feel stagnant at all."

"We can try!" Flitwick jumped down from the chair, "One person is responsible for part of the work, you cast the spell, and I perceive it."

Felix understood what he meant: "You need to use other magic to amplify your senses to feel the formation and flow of spells? It's really worth a try. I don't have this condition alone."

Flitwick laughed, "Isn't that the meaning of cooperation?"

Pointing at himself with his wand, he whispered: "Super perception...sound eyes and ears...magic power manifests...Adimo's voice..." Magic lights flickered on Flitwick's body.

Felix looked at this scene in admiration. Few people can do this. Just solving the problem of multiple spells interacting with each other can stump [-]% of wizards.

Soon, Professor Flitwick finished his work, and his appearance became very strange, his ears turned into long, bronze-colored horns, his eyes were gray, and lights of different colors flashed on his goblin-like face , which look like colorful light bulbs.

Flitwick's expression was weird, struggling to maintain the effect of the spell, he squeezed a few words through his teeth: "Hurry up...it won't last long..."

Felix had a solemn expression. He deliberately mobilized his magic power to make them more active. The light blue light continued to gather, and then shot out a dazzling beam of light.

His spell hit a quill, and the quill made a "crackling" sound. It quickly expanded and expanded, from the size of a dagger to a slightly curved spear in the blink of an eye, and it continued to change.

When the quill extended to a small half of the office, it finally couldn't bear Felix's magic power, and exploded with a bang, spreading a huge shock wave.

The whole office was in a mess like a gust of wind.

Felix took two steps back under the Iron Armor Curse. Flitwick was thrown away because he wanted to maintain the spell. His small body turned somersaults in the air. He quickly pointed at himself with his wand, and then slowly floated down .

Flitwick was in the air, staring at the blue powder falling down one after another, like a bright blue galaxy falling down, he couldn't help saying excitedly: "Felix, your magic power is too strong, it has completely changed The structure of a quill."

After calming down, he warned: "Before this magic is completely perfected, don't use it on people."

Felix nodded and said, "I think so too. Felius, did you discover anything just now?"

"Oh, it's really amazing... I did find something interesting." Flitwick waved his wand, restoring the furnishings in the room to their original state, and then flicked out a cloud of bronze-colored smoke.

The smoke was constantly deforming, turning into a phantom of a wizard who was casting a spell, and Felix recognized that this was the scene where he was casting a spell.

"Here, here, and here, there are extremely subtle imbalances in these three positions." Flitwick explained what he saw with the help of the silhouette formed by the smoke.

Felix stared at the screen and said softly, "I didn't realize it at all before."

Flitwick smiled heartily: "It's really difficult for one person to find out, but anyway, we have a new idea."

Coming out of the office, Felix went to the Potions Professor's office again, discussed with Snape about the teaching content for the new school year, and told him about the invitation of Flitwick.

Snape looked at him suspiciously: "I thought you'd invite that Lupine."

Felix stared at him and said nothing. Don't you know why?
Maybe it was because his eyes were too straightforward, which made Snape a little annoyed. "I've got work to do, if you don't mind, Felix..."

……

In the evening, Felix was sorting out the materials of the Rune Club in the office. He didn't realize that he missed dinner until Hermione knocked on the door to receive Rune training.
