Harry Potter: Glory Bows to Me

She put her wand aside again and tried to use wandless magic as she had done that time.

The power of wandless magic was not much reduced as that of silent spells, but... the accuracy did make her a little ashamed.

She reached out her hand and aimed it at the puppet she wanted to disarm.

"Expelliarmus—"

Snapped--

A beam of red light shot out from the palm of her hand, and halfway through it dispersed into specks of red light, hitting several wooden puppets behind her like a meteor shower.

"Amanta! You hit it too far!"

Harry was concentrating on his practice and didn't notice Amanta's actions at all.

As a result, this time, before he could shout out the spell, a red light shot out from behind and the puppet's weapon fell to the ground.

He had no choice but to resign himself to picking up the weapon and putting it back into the puppet's hand.

“…Mistake.”

Amanta shook her head.

She then tried combining the silent spell with wandless magic.

Now she has good news and bad news.

The good news is that silent spells combined with wandless magic are almost the same as spells spoken aloud, and their power is not reduced at all.

The bad news is that there really is no difference, and the spell cannot be fired with any accuracy or effectiveness.

A single attack becomes a group attack—with a group attack effect like fireworks and sparks.

"..."

It seems that using wandless magic is not like using a wand normally, where you can accurately cast the spell in the direction the tip of the wand is pointing.

The difference between the two is like that between a shotgun and a sniper rifle.

She did not deny its practicality in a war, but how could it be made more precise and effective?

She soon had a new idea.

She recalled that when little wizards showed magical talent as children, it was often because many strange things happened around them.

Most young wizards have no concept of using spells, especially those who are of Muggle-born.

Just like the time when Harry released a boa constrictor at the zoo and frightened Dudley to death, all Harry was thinking was making the glass disappear - to scare cousin Dudley.

In other words, casting magic does not necessarily require reciting a spell, but can be performed with the help of the wizard's own strong will.

However, this method is more difficult to control systematically than conventional wand magic.

Give it a try.

She closed her eyes, cleared her mind of all irrelevant things, and discarded all thoughts.

When he opened his eyes again, he looked directly at the weapon in the hand of the dull puppet.

Throw away the notion of magic spells... focus on the thing itself.

will.

Strong will.

Feel the surge of magic power in your body and concentrate it.

Gather into a real force and then manipulate it with will.

She raised her hand and swung it in an elegant arc.

Let it fall down—she thought to herself.

Dang clang——

The small wooden sword fell to the ground with a snap from the puppet man's hand.

This time no sparks shot out of her hands, no spells struck the puppet-man.

Only the dark green stone in the center of the sage's ring on the wrist was shining slightly.

If a Muggle happened to pass by, he would simply think that the puppet must have been made by a careless craftsman - a gust of wind blew the weapon out of its hand.

She tried a few more times with other puppets, and tried other magic tricks, but the result was unmistakable -

Wandless magic works by the exact opposite rules to silent spells.

Silent spells require the spell to be engraved in the mind and rely on the wand and spells, while wandless magic is to abandon the wand and spells and focus on the thing itself.

It seems.

A wand is a tool used by wizards to cast spells more effectively and accurately.

The invention of the magic wand has obviously brought most wizards with mediocre talents to a higher average level.

She was thoughtful, sorted out the theoretical knowledge she had acquired in her mind, and decided on her main focus.

She clearly had a high aptitude for wandless magic.

Wandless magic is clearly superior to simple silent spells, as no sound is required during the casting process and it is more concealed than silent spells.

And you can practice anytime and anywhere.

But the disadvantages are also obvious. It requires an extremely strong will, and once you are distracted, it will be ineffective.

"I'm fine now!"

Harry shouted happily from where he was standing not far away.

"I'm almost there." Draco took a deep breath and walked to Amanta's side. "Are you practicing wandless magic? It seems that you have some talent in this area."

"I think I can probably use some simple magic, but... who knows? Maybe it's thanks to the Sage's Ring."

Amanta said modestly and cautiously, "I still need to study it."

Draco patted her shoulder.

"Then when you figure it out, don't forget to teach me."

"Of course." Amanta smiled and walked to the bottom of the duel stage. "Since everyone has finished practicing, I think we can start the official duel."

"Harry, you and Draco go first and take off the curse-proof brooch."

Amanta took off the anti-curse brooch on her chest and put it aside.

After Harry and Draco had removed their brooches, they walked onto the long and narrow dueling stage in the center of the Room of Requirement.

"Don't forget etiquette."

Draco reminded Harry.

"Oh, okay." Harry nodded, not quite understanding.

Draco took a few steps forward with his head held high, and when he was almost at the center dividing line, he bowed to Harry, who followed suit.

The two walked away with their backs to each other.

Draco quickly walked to the other side of the dueling stage, but turned back suddenly before reaching the end.

"Expelliarmus—"

A flash of red light suddenly flew out from the tip of his wand and hit Harry on the back.

"what--!"

Harry screamed and flew out, landing heavily on the cushions behind the dueling stage.

Fortunately, the Room of Requirement thoughtfully prepared several cushions behind the dueling stage to support his body.

Cedric nervously ran over to ask about Harry's condition.

He looked at Draco accusingly.

"Draco, Harry is not ready yet. You should wait until he is ready before you act."

Harry rubbed his butt and complained, "Cedric... I'm fine, ouch, Draco! What are you doing... I'm not ready yet!"

Draco gave a practiced smirk.

"When you fight the enemy, they don't care whether you are ready or not. Do you understand?"

He raised his wand and pointed it at Harry.

"Stand up, Harry, and continue."

Harry stood up, tugged at his dishevelled robes, and raised his wand.

"Expelliarmus!"

Draco dodged sideways: "Expelliarmus!"

Harry ducked down and dodged as well.
