HP: I Have "Pure" Magic

Chapter 8: Magic Theory with Professor Chris

I was sitting in my room's bed, thinking about what I should do next.

I took out my wand and tried channeling a little of my magic through it.

I tried to bring out my magic without thinking anything. I just tried calling out magic without putting in any intent.

Nothing happened.

But I had expected this. In the Harry Potter series, everyone could only bring out magic once they have a spell for it. And only the magic specified by the spell would come out.

'But... aren't I different?' I thought as I recalled my first time casting magic. I think I might have a very great advantage over other wizards.

"I need to confirm it though," I muttered.

I close my eyes recalled what the magic which I cast on the marker earlier felt like. I recalled the exact feeling of the magic and also the exact intent I had behind casting that magic.

Yesterday, I needed a lot of emotions to cast this.

'But today, I have a wand,'

With that, I put my will into bringing out the same feeling of magic which I felt earlier while focusing my intent on destroying the wall.

*Whoosh*

Suddenly I felt the same magic as yesterday flow out of my chest into my wand and A blue light once again hit the wall where I was pointing my wand as a blue beam escaped it. Though it didn't have too much power as it fizzled out. But I am still ecstatic.

"Yeah baby! I was right!" I jumped in joy. This won't be done by just any other person. They'll need a spell for it since they most likely can NOT 'feel' magic!

Yes.

There has been no mention in books that the wizards can feel the magic. Because they can't. Magic would be quite easy otherwise.

'It looks like I got a better feel for magic than most. Though that does seem logical. If you were always a muggle and then suddenly stuffed in a body that contains magic. You'd easily be able to sense it.

It would be similar when magical people lose their magic. Though they usually don't have the natural feel of magic, but in this situation, they would easily be able to sense the lack of magic in their body.

Though there are some people for whom, magic comes naturally. Tommy could do magic consciously. In Japanese terms, his affinity with Mana must be very high. One can only guess what would happen if you hand him a wand for channeling his magic and access to dangerous magical knowledge.

Dumbledore must have had a similar talent.

Tom Riddle, even if he couldn't feel magic, was able to do wandless magic at an early age. Without any guidance and knowledge. This really scares me a bit. But I also have my own cheat, if not the natural talent of his level.

So this gives me at least as much potential as them. But I would start training earlier than them. I need to check out if casting magic continuously can increase my magic.

'So, now let's stop my inner monologue and do some more magic.' I thought.

I need to do some more experiments.

I pointed my wand at a nearby paper and said "Wingardium leviosa."

Nothing happened. I expected that outcome.

I just spoke the incantation without any will or intent. And, I didn't consciously channel my magic through my wand. There was no swish and flick.

'Take two, aaand Action!'

"wingardium leviosa." This time, I put all my adult mind's focus on the piece of paper and willed it, strongly, to move up, to start levitating. To be in my control.

And.... I felt my magic move on its own and came out through my wand. And the feather started to levitate. It shot up fast at first, but then I understood that that was my intent so I willed it to stop in mid-air.

It gently hovered there.

I lowered to it on the table but I had stopped my intent when it was halfway down there and the connection broke and it fell the rest of the way. There was still no swish and flick.

Ok. I know what to do next.

Experiment no.:3

Incantation: None

intent: a lot ; will: a lot (is there an actual difference in those two?)

Emotions: May as well mix it.

Conscious magic channeling: Still not doing it...

Alright. Commence the experiment in 3,2,1. *ding*

And then focused all my intent on it and willed to get up. I felt my magic leaving those my wand.

But, it wasn't as focused. It felt like it might scatter and disperse at any moment.

The paper was starting to move. But it still wasn't levitating.

'wingardium leviosa' I thought in my mind and the paper started to move up a bit. It felt like the magic had started to get a bit focused.

But this wasn't gonna last.

I then tried putting all the emotions I could as well

' Get up! You stupid piece of... paper!

And that must have worked. The paper shot up.

but, it also got torn from the middle.

'Aah! I already feel exhausted.'

I still need to do one more test.

This time, I would consciously channel my magic. And some of my will and intent.

'Alright! take aim,

target locked.

And, Fire!'

I moved my magic through the wand and commanded it to levitate the paper. And at the same time, I willed the paper to move up.

I also consciously focused my magic so that it won't dissipate like earlier.

Results: Target demolished.

"...."

The thing is, I wasn't paying attention if I had any other intent other than to levitate it.

plus, there wasn't any vocal incantation.

So the magic moved solely based on my intent.

So, I'm guessing that whatever frame that I had formed was too weak to contain that focused magic and as I had fun tearing the paper last time, a bit of that must have flown in.

So, R.I.P. Paper, you were usuful till the end.

Just after I was done with my teats, I felt a dull pain in my chest. It wasn't coming from the body, but from somewhere else.

'Is this my soul or magical core?'

'Wait, did my magic already run out?! With only this much?'

It seems I'll have to be careful with my use of magic and increase my magic power.

A.N.: For those who have objections about mc already having a wand, let me make it clear. The children buy their wands at 11 because-

1) It's tradition and law. Both of which, the Mc doesn't give sh*t to.

2) The wands can be dangerous for children themselves and those around them if they decided to throw a tantrum resulting in focused accidental magic. But mc is an adult.

3) I don't remember ever reading something like- "you can't cast magic through wand before turning 11". They are taught at 11 because children are then considered mentally mature enough to understand magical theory and follow rules.
