Besides your own spirituality, who else can you convey it to?

Ryan thought about this question and got goosebumps for no reason.

"It's 'god'." Ravenclaw said the answer that emerged in Ryan's heart, "However, everyone has different opinions on the explanation of this 'god'."

"Does God really exist?" Ryan murmured.

"This is an unanswerable question." Ravenclaw said, "No one has seen God, but no one can say that God must not exist. In fact, it is precisely because of the uncertainty of the question 'whether God exists' Sex is what causes the differences among various schools of thought.”

She paused and recalled: "The original view of 'charism' was put forward by a Muggle-born wizard. He obviously drew on myths and legends from the Muggle world. Unexpectedly, his views were popular among wizards. There is a huge market in China and it quickly gained a large number of supporters.”

"What's that wizard's name?"

"Potolemy, if you study the history of ancient magic, this is an inescapable figure." Ravenclaw said, "He is the earliest occultist and great astrologer in existing records. It is said that he is also an An outstanding prophet. In fact, many people still believe that he was not born a Muggle at all."

"It sounds like the arguments of a pure-blood supremacist."

"Indeed, Salazar also firmly believed that Potolemy was a pure-blood wizard." Ravenclaw smiled slightly, "Of course, his basis is that prophecy abilities are almost always passed down by blood."

"I have also heard similar claims." Ryan said, "Just like the current Divination professor at Hogwarts is the great-great-grandson of a prophet."

"But I don't agree with this statement." Ravenclaw shook his head, "Prophecy is a talent, but this talent does not necessarily have to be acquired through inheritance. For example, myself, my prophecy ability is to master What you suddenly learned after getting time magic - after a person understands the flow of time, it is impossible for a person to have no sense of the future, is it not?"

"Did you learn your talent by yourself?" Ryan was a little unbelievable.

"In a sense, talent is just a more outstanding ability." Ravenclaw nodded, "Prophecy talent is rare but not uncommon. Apart from people like me who study time, there are other ways to obtain the ability to predict. , such as immortality. In fact, as long as you live long enough, you can have clear and keen insights into the world, and Merlin is a typical example."

Nico Flamel was one of them, Ryan added mentally.

"Even Muggles without magic can occasionally obtain very good prediction results by using some unsystematic divination knowledge." Ravenclaw continued, "Some people explain this phenomenon as a 'flash of inspiration'. That is to say, ordinary people can occasionally get a glimpse of their destiny through self-awareness of spirituality.”

"Are you more supportive of spiritual doctrine?" Ryan asked.

"I don't support either side. All we can observe are phenomena. Now there are two explanations for the phenomena. One says that one's abilities and desires come from spiritual awareness, and the other says that abilities and desires come from God's gift. But who There is no way to prove myself right or prove the other person wrong." Ravenclaw said, "I choose to continue thinking. Of course, I prefer spiritual theory. After all, if there is really an invisible hand behind all this, then It’s so desperate.”

This was the first time Ryan heard Ravenclaw say the word "despair", but when he thought about it carefully, he understood what Ravenclaw meant.

Admitting the existence of gods is undoubtedly a blow to human free will.

Just like a scientist who has studied the principles of the world for a lifetime, if you tell him in the end that everything is just a boring dice roll by God - his faith will collapse.

"That's about the principles of ritual magic." Ravenclaw stopped talking, "If you are interested in 'charismatic theory', you can go to the library to look for it. I remember seeing a book of ten A very well written fifth century book is Cornelius Agrippa's "On Mystical Philosophy", but he drew on some 'spiritual' ideas and believed that God is the supreme embodiment of all hearts and gods, and is the spirit. Beyond Magic – Now we return to the lessons of ancient runes.”

Ryan wanted to listen for a while longer, but Ravenclaw was obviously not interested in talking anymore, so he had no choice but to stop and continue learning ancient runes with Ravenclaw.

"Which do you think is the best spell you have used now?" Ravenclaw asked.

"Uh... I'm sorry, Ms. Ravenclaw, I don't think there is any good or bad difference if I use the magic spell." Ryan wiped his nose and told the truth with some embarrassment.

"The spell you use most often," Ravenclaw said.

"I guess it's 'silent,'" replied Ryan, who used this trick almost every day to block out Ernie's snoring.

Ravenclaw was silent for a moment before speaking: "Which battle spell are you most comfortable with?"

"Lock tongue - well, let me think about it...it should be the Iron Armor Curse." Ryan said, he still preferred defense to offense.

"Okay, I will teach you how to use the rune 'earth' next." Ravenclaw drew a symbol in the air, "This character also represents stability, solidity and protection. This time I will teach you 'protect' usage."

"Is this similar to the Iron Armor Curse?" Ryan understood what Ravenclaw meant.

"The principles are not the same, but the effects are similar." Ravenclaw said, "The runes themselves contain magic. You need to experience the feeling of using the Iron Armor Curse, and then try to get rid of the wand and rely directly on words to stimulate your own magic."

Ryan tried shouting "Guard" several times, but failed to activate the magic power.

"I'm not asking you to shout." Ravenclaw said, "You have to simulate the feeling of the Iron Armor Curse. Also, the core of rune casting is to 'express your wishes', keep this in mind."

"How can we simulate the feeling of the Iron Armor Curse?" Ryan asked.

"You should try to feel the flow of magic power in your body. Of course, this is a bit demanding of you. I think you still have more..."

"guard!"

This time, Ryan clearly grasped the magic power in his body. However, without the assistance of the wand, it was a bit difficult to mobilize this magic power.

He used the "armor protection" method in his memory to let the magic power flow according to the established track. Soon, a layer of transparent material gathered around him.

Unlike the Iron Armor Curse, Ryan felt that the "guarding" of the runes gave him a more secure feeling.

"It turns out that you are able to sense the flow of magic power, which is an enviable talent." Ravenclaw said, "You did a good job, so I can speed up some progress."

Ryan didn't have time to lament that his learning tasks were heavy again. He asked: "Ms. Ravenclaw, why do I think rune casting is more powerful than wand casting?"

"This is natural." Ravenclaw replied, "When you have more contact with it, you will find that the more ancient the spell, the more powerful it is, but the effect is rougher. You have to consider the history of the development of the spell. and the course of human civilization.”

She said calmly: "The original spell was originally used to kill and destroy."
