Hogwarts Survival Sim

Chapter 59 Ritual Magic

Naturally, the three of them, Ethan, didn't know what was happening in the school. They were busy reading and copying these important notes and information in the bookcase.

"So, why don't we just take these things away?" After working for two hours, Lockhart, who felt a little impatient, couldn't help but ask, "When we get back to school, we can find some more." Wouldn’t it be easier for someone to translate it personally?”

"This is not our thing, Professor Lockhart." Hermione gave him a serious look, which made Lockhart shrink back. "Even if the owner here is no longer here, it doesn't mean we can do whatever we want. Take away other people’s precious relics, otherwise what’s the difference between us and some tomb robbers?”

"And to be honest, even if we return to Hogwarts, without this magic book, it would be difficult for the professors to translate these documents." Ethan added without looking up, "More importantly What’s more, if I were the owner of this place, I would definitely find ways to punish the thieves who want to steal things from here, even if they pass the test.”

"Uh, okay, I understand." Lockhart was immediately speechless by his leader's family. Looking at their serious expressions, he suddenly felt as if he was already old.

"Since you two are not tired, what else can I say?" With a wry smile, the poor professor started working again.

After an unknown amount of time, Ethan and Hermione suddenly put down their work at the same time.

"Have you noticed it too, Ethan?" Hermione asked with a complicated expression.

"Yeah, I didn't expect such a thing to happen, but I think it's just a few special cases." Ethan replied.

"I don't know, but if this is true, there may really be a lot of turmoil in the magical world."

"No, after all, this kind of magic has been lost, and there are very few people who know these magic words."

"I'm sorry to interrupt you," Lockhart raised his hand, "but can anyone explain to me what exactly you found?"

"Don't be afraid of what we're going to talk about next."

"I used to be a professor. I received professional training at Hogwarts. I won't be afraid."

"Well," Ethan shrugged, and then continued, "I think Hermione just discovered that this wizard named William recorded a magic that can turn an ordinary person into a wizard. Although there are only a few case, but it did work.”

"Oh, that's it." Lockhart nodded calmly, "I thought it was a big deal. You are kidding me, right?"

Ethan and Hermione didn't speak, just looked at him quietly.

Then the smile on Lockhart's face could no longer be maintained.

"Are you serious?" he asked with his eyes widened, "Hermione, you yourself said that it is impossible for Muggles to use magic."

"Listen to me first, Professor." Ethan waved his hand to signal him to calm down, "You should still remember what William took from the secret cabinet in the church, right?"

"Yes," Lockhart nodded, "It should be information related to werewolves."

"That's true," Ethan affirmed, "but it's more than just that. In fact, from a magical point of view, the parts related to werewolves are not very useful. What is really precious is actually recorded by the people of the church. A kind of baptismal ritual within them.”

"From the theoretical analysis of magic, William found that this ritual may indeed have an effect. Because its essence is similar to a magic circle composed of magic words, there may be some special Muggles who can accept the magic produced by this magic circle. Hence the ability to perform magic.”

"In other words, they become wizards."

"Of course, those so-called Muggles who became wizards in church records are very likely to be wizards with hidden magical powers for some reasons like William, or they may even be squibs." Hermione interjected, "But these are actually not the main point. Although turning Muggles into wizards sounds scary, both the success rate and authenticity are still open to question."

"The point is actually this kind of ritual magic. It was by improving this magic that William invented the so-called human form restoration spell."

"...You mean, the Humanoid Restoration Spell is actually a kind of ritual magic?" Professor Lockhart reacted for a while before he finally understood. "And what you just said was so scary, are you actually trying to scare me?"

"Ahem, how can this be considered a scare? After all, what we said is true."

"...Forget it, so we have found the humanoid restoration spell, right?"

"Yes, I think many werewolves will be able to get rid of their pain soon. It's just..." Ethan read the notes in his hand and suddenly frowned.

"What's the matter, is there a problem?"

"The Humanoid Restoration Curse can indeed transform a werewolf in wolf form back into a humanoid form," Ethan read out what he saw. "But the deeper the curse, the more severe the werewolf will feel during the process of restoring its humanoid form." It is often difficult for them to bear great pain, and they may even take the initiative to interrupt the ceremony."

"The consequence of interrupting the ceremony is direct death. What's even more cruel is that even if the ceremony is not interrupted, the risk of death is still high."

"The degree of the curse? How to judge this? Does the longer the time, the deeper the curse?" Hermione asked doubtfully.

"I think not," Ethan shook his head, "At least I hope not."

As he spoke, he searched elsewhere on the page.If it were true what Hermione said, wouldn't Professor Lupine be too pitiful?

"Ah, I found it!" Ethan soon found a note in a corner, "After research, the phenomenon of werewolf transformation is very likely to come from a blood curse. Experiments have proven that the depth of this curse It has nothing to do with the length of time it’s in the body, but everything to do with the behavior of the werewolf itself.”

"The more bloodthirsty and cruel the werewolf is, the more the werewolf spreads this curse, the degree of the curse will be deepened. On the contrary, if you can control your own desires and never harm others, the influence of the curse will be weakened."

"There is also a record of spell casting results here." Ethan turned another page. "The other nine villagers who turned into werewolves quickly returned to normal under the influence of the humanoid restoration spell. The other nine villagers who were imprisoned in the church's underground laboratory Among the group of werewolves, there are also werewolves who were recently infected, but because they bit many other people during the church’s experiments, they were unable to survive the ceremony until the end.”

"As for those werewolves who were so sinful that they even took pleasure in bloodlust and actively cooperated with the church, they were burned to the core by the spell."
