With the help of transformation magic, the magic circuit instantly took shape, enveloping Vizette within it.
He heard a sharp, crisp clap of thunder, and suddenly his vision was filled with light. The distant scenery became blurry, and everything around him looked like colorful graffiti.
It was a strange feeling. Although he heard thunder, he felt as if he were in water, his body incredibly light, as if he were being pushed by an ocean current.
When the light disappeared, he appeared about five meters in front of where the ritual magic had been.
He had just moved a short distance under the influence of "Tonitrus".
When this unexpected thing happened, Vizette immediately thought of The Standard Book of Spells.
He took a deep breath and focused his mind, noticing that Hogwarts: A History had been opened, and sure enough, new content had appeared below the page containing "Tonitrus".
Ancient Magic: Apparition: Guide ancient magical power... Unleash the magical properties of lightning... Quickly teleport to a nearby location...
Vizette picked up on two key points: the magical properties of lightning regarding speed, and the fact that this ancient magic allowed for rapid movement.
To verify his idea and determine how to cast the spell, he gripped his wand and cast a spell on himself, shouting, "Ansuz"!
The magic circuit appeared, the familiar shoving sensation vanished in an instant, and he returned to his original position.
Vizette murmured, "If it has to be used this way, it's far too cumbersome."
He gripped his wand tighter, not pointing it at himself, but instead adjusting its direction and chanting the spell: "Ansuz"!
The magic circuits and the shoving sensation returned, and he moved a little distance toward home.
The second attempt confirmed two things for him: the ancient magic could move five meters and its direction could be adjusted according to will.
As he bent down to write the summary into his notebook, a pair of familiar Mary Jane shoes appeared before his eyes.
Luna held a cup with a star pattern in her hand. "Dad heard thunder just now and sent me over to check. I know it was you experimenting with magic."
"Thank you!" Vizette picked up the star-patterned cup and took a sip. The water inside had a faint scent of Dirigible Plums and a slightly sweet and sour taste.
Looking at the cup, he remarked, "Ritual magic is truly fascinating. I was just observing a ritual magic spell and felt a unique attraction to it."
"That first spell must have been very joyful..." Luna whispered in her distinctive tone, "Maybe it was while singing, the wizard unleashed their talent and cast a spell..."
Vizette picked up his wand and, with practiced gestures, waved it a couple of times. "So, waving a wand to cast a spell... is like a conductor conducting an orchestra!"
Luna let out a chime-like laugh. "Music is everywhere, like the sound of the wind, laughter, breathing, heartbeats… all unique magical rhythms, quietly guiding us."
"I just acquired a magical rhythm, which we created together before. Would you like to see it?" Vizette asked.
"Of course!" Luna nodded, taking the star-patterned cup and holding it in her hands. "I can't wait!"
"Ansuz"! Vizette used his wand to determine his location, and the familiar magic circuits and the feeling of being pushed appeared.
Everything returned to normal, and he stood on the grass five meters away from Luna.
From Luna's perspective, she saw Vizette suddenly transform into a ball of white light, instantly appearing in the distance, leaving a graceful arc in the air.
Luna looked at Vizette walking towards her and asked, "May I draw what I just saw?"
"Of course! Sketchbooks and paintbrushes, fly over!" Vizette chanted a spell, raised his arm, and gently pulled. "How long did it take me to get there?"
"Just a moment? The blink of an eye? Very fast!" Luna raised her hand and caught the sketchbook and paintbrush that were flying towards her.
Whenever she wanted to paint, Vizette would cast Accio to bring her the tools.
Over time, she became more and more skilled at catching the sketchbook and paintbrush.
"Look! It's just like real lightning! It flashes by in a flash! But it's a chubby lightning bolt!" She held up the picture book and showed the image she had just seen to Vizette.
Upon hearing Luna's description, Vizette couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Luckily, even a chubby lightning bolt is still lightning, and it's still quite fast."
Through his third attempt, he discovered that this ancient magic was quite flexible; not only could one choose a location through willpower, but one could also determine the landing point by using a wand.
This was an unexpected bonus he had received while researching "Tonitrus".
He hadn't forgotten his original purpose. Through the ritual magic just now, he had gained some understanding of "Tonitrus" and could try to release this magic directly.
Before releasing "Tonitrus", he said to Luna, "Luna, stand behind me and stay away from me."
Luna nodded, took her sketchbook and paintbrushes, and stood far behind Vizette.
Some time had passed since the ritual magic, and the dark clouds in the sky were gradually dissipating.
Without hesitation, Vizette conjured up the simple magic circuit in his mind.
He gripped his wand tightly and gave it a gentle wave, simultaneously chanting the spell: "Ansuz"!
The wand seemed to tremble slightly, and the dark clouds emitted a faint, continuous crackling sound before reluctantly producing a few streaks of lightning that struck the oak branch stuck in the ground.
"The effect is so much worse?" Vizette pondered, looking at the oak branch from which wisps of black smoke were rising.
The fact that "Tonitrus" appears in The Standard Book of Spells suggests that its power can be enhanced through ancient magical forces.
However, unlike other ancient magic, he needs to actively guide the power of ancient magic to enhance the power of "Tonitrus".
With this in mind, he cast the Guardian Meditation Technique and then used Ancient Magic: Accio to accumulate ancient magical power in his hands.
Moreover, he made an additional discovery—to further enhance the power of "Tonitrus," he could add the ancient magical power to open the pages.
He possessed two ancient magical powers. The first came from the Obscurus and could be used directly to unleash various ancient spells.
The second type came from various magical structures. This ancient magical power had been weathered by time and was obviously much rarer.
In order to showcase "Tonitrus" as much as possible, Vizette pondered for a moment and incorporated a small amount of the second type of ancient magical power.
"Ansuz"!
With the incantation in place, Thunder channeled two ancient magical powers, which accumulated continuously within the wand.
He could clearly feel the wand getting warm, and when he looked at it through his Magic Eye, he saw that it was surrounded by electric white light.
The wand trembled slightly the moment the white light converged at its tip.
Vizette realized that the accumulation process of "Tonitrus" was complete and it could be released.
The sky suddenly darkened the moment he waved his wand.
Amidst a series of crackling explosions, a white plasma snake descended from the sky, slamming violently into the ground, stirring up a blinding white aura, with streaks of lightning dancing wildly like golden snakes...
