Hogwarts: The Book of Laws.

Chapter 29: Casting Spells Without a Wand

"There are three main points in casting a spell, namely the incantation, the mental thought and the action of waving the wand."

Professor Flitwick stood on a stool and was giving a serious lecture to the little wizards below.

Arthur was also taking notes intently.

Half a month has passed since that day's Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Today is Arthur's third week at Hogwarts.

After unremitting efforts during this period, the number of spiritual spell lines in his mind finally increased to five. Arthur could clearly feel that his ears and eyes were sharp and his mind was clear.

Now, he can basically release most of the spells in one go without any pressure at all.

Moreover, Occlumency has also begun to be practiced, and with the blessing of the spiritual spell lines, progress has been rapid.

Although it is still far from reaching Snape's level of perfection, at least his mind will not be invaded at will.

But he has always been tepid on the outside, neither standing out nor lagging behind in class.

When there were classes that required practical magic, Arthur would always pretend to be constipated, as if he really couldn't cast a smooth spell no matter what.

So in the eyes of the professors, he became a child who worked hard but had mediocre talent.

In the eyes of classmates, ordinary people can no longer be ordinary.

Of course, given Hufflepuff's characteristics, no one would mock him maliciously, but they wouldn't pay special attention to him either.

Even the Slytherins who originally wanted to find trouble with him have stopped trying. Perhaps they think they shouldn't waste their energy on such a mediocre person.

But this is the result that Arthur wants. Once a person forms such inertial thinking, he will be safer in the future.

Regarding this, Arthur admired his acting skills very much. He even felt that he was in the wrong place and should go to Hollywood in the 20th century!

His daily activity areas are very fixed, namely the common room, classroom, canteen, library and Room of Requirement.

Apart from these places, he never ran around, but during this time, the people in the 'other world' seemed to have disappeared.

Although Professor Binns' History of Magic class still made people drowsy, there was no exaggeration of collective sleep like last time.

There were no other strange incidents of inexplicable dreams happening in the school.

In the spiritual world, the Holy Knights were as usual, without any movement or reminder of a gathering.

Maybe those people are busy looking for the 'owl', Arthur chuckled to himself.

But he got good news from Professor Sprout yesterday, that is, his roommates have woken up!

It's just that after a long period of coma, their mental and physical conditions are not very good, and they still need to continue to nurse themselves back to health in the school hospital.

Arthur planned to visit them after class and see if they knew anything.

"A spell is like an instruction. Next, you need to concentrate your mind to convey the instruction."

"Then turn on the switch with the movement of the wand, and then the magic power in your body can be released in the form of magic."

In order for the little wizards to understand, Professor Flitwick specially used a vivid metaphor.

"These three points are indispensable. Some students are unable to cast spells smoothly, perhaps because they have not done well in one point."

Professor Flitwick said this and glanced at some students, including Arthur.

Then he smiled gently and continued, "But this is a long-term process, accompanied by a lot of practice, and... some talent. You must know that some wizards have only mastered a few spells for decades."

At this time, a Gryffindor student raised his hand.

"Is there any problem, Mr. Pétain?" Professor Flitwick pointed at him.

"Professor, if the actions of chanting and casting spells are so important, why are there still silent spells, and even some powerful wizards can cast spells without a wand?" A Gryffindor student named Petain asked doubtfully.

"Oh, you must be very curious about this question." Professor Flitwick smiled, "I can imagine that silent casting must be cool in your eyes! Not to mention wandless casting!"

The students below all smiled and nodded, and Arthur also showed an interested look.

"Actually, the technique of silent spellcasting is very simple, just silently reciting the spell." Flitwick said, "When you are older and become familiar with certain spells, you can also do it."

"However, it is not that easy to cast spells without a wand! It requires profound magic power, and also has extremely high attainments in spiritual magic."

Flitwick's face became serious, "Because the wand is a very important medium for casting spells! If you want to cast spells without using a wand, you need to simulate all the factors required for casting spells in the spiritual world first."

When Arthur heard the word "spiritual world", he raised his eyebrows slightly.

Flitwick continued: "For example, the flying curse."

"First of all, you have to be able to lock on to this object. It's best if it's something you're very familiar with, or even something you can see directly with your eyes."

"Then recite the incantation silently. At this time, instructions will begin to be issued in the spiritual world. But what if you don't have the medium of a magic wand?"

"Use your mind to simulate a magic wand!" Flitwick said concisely, "In other words, use your mind to simulate this medium, so that this command can be effective in reality!"

"like this."

Flitwick stretched out his palm, his five short fingers slightly bent.

As a result, the spell book on Arthur's desk flew over instantly!

It fell firmly into Flitwick's hand.

The audience was silent at first, and then burst into warm applause. The Gryffindor and Hufflepuff students were all stunned by this ability to cast spells silently and without a wand!

Arthur is also very fanatical on the surface, but he actually doesn't think so in his heart. Casting spells without a wand does look powerful, but it is of no practical use.

Because among the many magic spells, it seems that the only one that can passively release the wand is the disarming spell.

And the disarming curse...

As we all know, this curse almost never hits anyone in battle. Except for Drago's father, no one seems to have been hit...

However, there are exceptions to everything. For example, if someone predicts someone else's prediction, it is possible that he must hit the disarming spell.

In this case, even if you can cast spells without a wand, you are basically dead. The power of magic alone is not on the same level as others.

Of course, if you are a big boss like Grindelwald or Dumbledore who allows others to defeat everything with just a wand, then just pretend that I didn't say...

But Arthur now doubts that these two old bees are from the 'other world'.

So if there are laws and regulations in my body, can I cast spells without a wand?Arthur still has some expectations for this.

"Okay, everyone."

Flitwick smiled at this time, stopped everyone's enthusiastic cheers, and said, "In the final analysis, casting spells without a wand is actually not practical. And it is really early for you now."

"It's better to practice the basics carefully, and then study hard after graduating successfully."

Professor Flitwick returned the spell book to Arthur, and after assigning homework, the class ended.

Arthur asked Flitwick a few basic spellcasting questions as usual. After thanking him, he left the classroom and walked to the school hospital.
