Chapter 178 - [178] Thunderclouds Gather

After mastering Aguamenti, Vizette immediately shared the magic with Luna.

Luna had not officially enrolled yet, so it would take her some time before she could use her wand to cast Aguamenti.

However, this did not dampen her interest; she was very fond of ritual magic related to Aguamenti.

After several trials, Vizette found that the ritual magic of Aguamenti was safe, so he felt relieved and helped Luna draw up the sketch.

Instead of using common mediums like crystals or magical animal feathers, Luna chose various common magical plants from her home for the ritual magic.

Throughout the entire ritual magic, the Aguamenti she cast always contained a special flavor, varying from sour to sweet, which was quite interesting.

This kind of water would also attract the curiosity of the eight-legged horse, which would come over and lick a few mouthfuls of the sweet water, then stomp its hooves.

With the eight-legged divine horse watching from the side, Vizette felt relieved and continued to organize his findings from his trip to Sweden.

With the curse of malice purified, he could now cast Protego much faster, summoning a magical barrier with just a wave of his hand.

In this way, all the previous hidden dangers had been resolved.

Vizette turned his gaze to "Tonitrus," a very special ancient magic.

"Tonitrus" only gave the name of the spell without presenting the specific content, which was somewhat similar to the situation with "Ancient Magic: Finite Incantatem".

When he improved the Purification and Cleansing Spell, he provided specific details, but he needed to name it.

Following this line of thought, he needed to study "Tonitrus" in depth so that the pages could record the specific content.

The ruins of Odin were located in Sweden, a country where wizards had naturally conducted extensive research on lightning magic.

The most direct manifestation of this was, of course, the various murals in the wizarding ruins, and the corresponding interpretations of those murals.

Whether it was the murals in wizarding ruins or the various myths and legends of the Muggle world, descriptions of lightning often included the following: lightning represented power and authority.

Just as he had seen in that colorful world, all the magic unleashed by the skeletal figure was neutralized by the simple, unadorned lightning.

Using Protego as a defensive measure and then choosing Lightning as an offensive measure was undoubtedly a very good choice.

Having learned Aguamenti, Vizette also used the murals to explore the ancient magic of "Tonitrus".

There were several interpretations of the murals about lightning, and Vizette chose one of them, starting with ritual magic.

The ritual magic to summon lightning was much more complex. It was best to choose a day when a storm was approaching; gloomy weather with no sun was a secondary choice.

The location was also important; it was best to go to a mountaintop or a sufficiently open high ground, and one also needed to use pure water to clean the surrounding area.

Compared to the demanding conditions of location and weather, the arrangement and combination of media was much simpler; all that was needed was enough oak branches to stand them all up...

Vizette did not go too far from home; he performed the ritual magic in an open space not far away.

He primarily experienced the process of ancient wizards summoning lightning by constructing ritual magic.

For ancient wizards, meticulous execution of each step was crucial to ensuring the success of ritual magic.

However, unlike the ancient wizards, Vizette possessed a magical eye.

He was inspired by the way Luna arranged ritual magic and observed it through Magia Revelio.

Based on this, he corrected and modified the ritual magic so that it could function smoothly.

This was a clever trick unique to him, but it worked.

Through Magia Revelio, the entire ritual magic was composed of several incomplete and complex magic circuits.

These incomplete magic circuits were due to factors such as the location and weather.

Vizette waved his wand, attempting to complete the puzzle. Each time he finished a small part, he would pick up his notebook and record the corresponding information for future study.

As this complex magic circuit became more and more complete, the surrounding weather also changed;

The surrounding clouds seemed to be drawn by an unseen hand, drifting above the ritual magic, gathering together, and becoming increasingly gloomy.

A smile crept across Vizette's lips; he felt this ritual magic was more interesting than he had imagined.

There was a mutual influence between ritual magic and its effects.

By completing the ritual magic, the surrounding weather changed accordingly, as if the ritual magic had attracted the surrounding clouds, which naturally turned into dark clouds.

Vizette's eyes suddenly lit up; he felt that this "attraction" could be applied to Accio.

All magic was interconnected. He had studied shapeshifting magic in depth, so his first thought was naturally shapeshifting magic.

What would happen if, through transformation magic, one could become a magical circuit and then attract the object they desired?

When the idea finally came to fruition, Vizette quickly wrote it down, intending to study it carefully later.

Rumble...

Just as Vizette finished writing the last line, a muffled rumble of thunder rolled through the dark clouds.

He quickly looked up and observed the ritual magic through his Magic Eye.

The surroundings became much more oppressive, except for the area between the ritual magic and the dark clouds, which became extremely bright, and lightning could be vaguely seen rolling in the clouds.

The dark clouds grew even more gloomy, like a thick, unyielding blob of ink.

After that muffled thunderclap, the dark clouds became incredibly still, as if they were gathering their last bit of strength.

This was ritual magic orchestrated by Vizette. Instead of waiting for the lightning to fall on its own, he intervened in when the lightning should fall through the spell of "Tonitrus".

He held the wand in his hand and softly uttered the spell, "Ansuz"!

In an instant, a burst of light shone forth, slicing through the ink-black clouds, and crashed down to the ground, followed by a loud crackling sound...

Even with the light so dazzling, Vizette did not stop observing, and he caught a fleeting glimpse of a magic circuit.

Compared to the magic circuits of ritual magic, this magic circuit was much simpler, as if it brought together all the subtleties of ritual magic.

Vizette's mind raced. He suddenly remembered something, quickly flipped through his notebook, and found a magic circuit that he had previously written down.

It was Luna and he who had completed the magic circuit together. He drew the magic circuits for the Diricawl and the Golden Snitch, and Luna connected the two magic circuits together.

Vizette took a deep breath and picked up his pen to draw another magic circuit—the one he had just observed.

From this point on, he believed that this complex magic circuit had reached its optimal state.

He raised his wand, pointed it to his chest, and softly uttered, "Ansuz"!
