Among the souvenirs brought by Vizette were some prank props containing curses, which were also the "specialties" that the Weasley twins needed most.
These officially sold prank items all need to be inspected by the Ministry of Magic, so they contain very little evil magic and are mainly focused on entertainment and fun.
Fred and George were immediately captivated by the prank props.
"A nose-biting wine glass...it's so clear! Worth studying! Like those nose-biting teacups, the curse is hidden in the patterns. How did this glass wine glass achieve that?"
"Oh wow! This candy box looks fierce, it even has sharp teeth on it... It looks like dog teeth, and it makes your mouth water if you bite into it! It's disgusting, but I like it!"
"Ink that appears and disappears? How do you use it again...? That works! Words written with exhalation and inhalation must also be viewed with exhalation and inhalation; they can't appear simultaneously. That's fantastic!"
Wizards are quite talented when it comes to prank props, and perhaps those "wizard pranksters" deserve some credit for making all this possible.
...
Among the souvenirs that Vizette brought were two magical cookbooks with Swedish characteristics, as well as magical crystal glass unique to Smorland.
These crystal glasswares are imbued with a magical ability to preserve food, making them highly practical.
Besides that, there are local Swedish sweets and pastries.
The Weasley twins were about to hide their prank props when, led by Ron, Vizette and Luna entered the Burrow and greeted Mrs. Weasley.
After exchanging pleasantries, Vizette and Luna returned home to pack their luggage.
When the two checked the calendar, they realized that August had quietly arrived.
Xenophilius is busy again. This trip to Sweden has given him a lot of material to accumulate and even gained him a large number of readers, which is an unexpected bonus.
These readers, from the island of Midgard and their relatives and friends, wanted to buy "The Quibbler" as a way of expressing their gratitude.
Regardless, he was still very happy.
The ability to sell "The Quibbler" in Sweden justifies adding another title to the magazine—that it is sold overseas.
...
The eight-legged divine horse used its special magic to hide among various flowers, plants, and trees, and followed Luna to England.
During that time, it also traveled on the Vasa, but it suffered from seasickness and remained dizzy in its cabin for several days.
Its eating habits are similar to those of a phoenix. Luna fed it various berries along the way to keep it from getting too uncomfortable.
After arriving in England, perhaps because it had a garden at home, it didn't go through any adaptation period and settled down happily.
The eight-legged horse likes to hide among the flowers, plants, and trees. It will appear when Luna and Vizette are around, watching with wide eyes as the two work together to water and fertilize the plants.
It would also play by itself in the garden, sneaking up behind Diana and Thor, then snorting loudly as it watched the two owls hooting and shaking their heads and bodies in the air.
It also likes to tease gnomes. When the gnomes are carrying berries back to their burrows, it will suddenly pop its head out and snatch the berries. After the gnomes realize something is wrong and start spinning around, it will put the berries next to the entrance of the burrow.
The gnomes seemed a little slow to grasp the situation. Two or three days later, they actually gathered at the entrances of those caves, hoping that berries would suddenly sprout from them.
This behavior didn't last long. After a day and a night, they were so hungry that they had no choice but to start looking for berries on their own again. As a result, the eight-legged horse came to tease them again.
And so, another round of waiting and starvation began for the gnomes...
-------------------------------------
Vizette also gained a lot from her trip to Sweden.
Sweden has many wizarding relics, although they are not as old as the relics of Odin; they can still provide a lot of ancient magical power.
Various murals remain in the wizarding ruins, and books interpreting the murals are sold in the surrounding area.
The skill levels of the sorcerers who interpret the murals vary, and this difference in skill level is reflected in the prices.
A book interpreting a mural by a powerful wizard can often cost between fifty and two hundred Galleons.
The most basic interpretation of the murals typically costs one or two Galleons for a single book.
Thanks to his unique circumstances, Vizette would buy the cheapest interpretation and then browse through all the other interpretations at the stall.
It could be said that his biggest gain from this trip was the various interpretive books floating around in his mind.
Connecting the interpretations of the same wizarding ruins often led to a history of exploring a particular magic.
Wizards gained inspiration from certain natural phenomena and began to try to research and create some kind of magic.
After developing the prototype of this magic, they continued to refine it based on the murals and the wizard's own knowledge, making the magic easier to use.
For ancient wizards, who had not yet invented tools like wands, the methods of casting spells were often very complicated, which led to the development of so-called "ritual magic".
Ancient wizards often needed to prepare beforehand, calming their minds and concentrating all their energy before casting spells.
Then, through a "medium" containing magical properties, the medium was placed in a certain arrangement;
Then came the tedious chanting of incantations. Ancient incantations were often quite long, and attention had to be paid to the rhythm and cadence of the chanting.
In addition, certain ritual magic required attention to the timing and the location where it was performed...
By reading and interpreting these murals, Vizette was able to grasp many principles of magic.
...
Vizette focused his research on Aguamenti.
Starting with ancient ritual magic, the process had been gradually simplified and evolved into modern magic, allowing him to learn Aguamenti in a way that traced back to the source.
According to Hogwarts' normal teaching process, he would only be able to access this magic in Charms class after he received his O.W.L. certificate and entered the sixth year.
Vizette chose this spell because Aguamenti was very practical.
The most obvious effect was the literal "water creation." Once he mastered this magic, there would never be a risk of water shortage again.
Water is the source of life, equally important to both Muggles and wizards, and has a wide range of applications.
For example, the water used in potion making often used dew or pure water.
Dew contains magical properties and can only be obtained through collection.
The key to pure water was "purity," which meant that the water must not contain any impurities.
The simplest way to do this was to buy it directly;
Alternatively, boil the water and then use appropriate equipment to collect the water vapor;
And a seemingly simple but difficult-to-implement method—directly separating impurities from the water using magic.
After in-depth study and interpretation of the murals, Vizette mastered this method.
It could precisely adjust Aguamenti to directly "create" pure water.
As the saying goes, "learning by analogy," after mastering the delicate operation of "creating" pure water, Vizette's control over the wandless, silent Levitation Charm also improved...
