If the two elements could be combined, it could be called the Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon or the Electromagnetic Particle Cannon. To simplify further, it could be called the Electro Cannon or the Electra Cannon.
"Let's give it a try!"
With that, he instantly shifted to a secluded area on the outskirts of New York. Having already set up Muggle-repelling spells and a magical barrier, he began his attempt.
"Plasma Cannon!"
Clasping his hands together, he slowly pulled them apart. A plasma ball, about the size of an egg, gradually formed in his palms.
Following the usual procedure, he simply had to aim the plasma ball at the target and fire it to complete the spell.
However, he didn't do that. Instead, while struggling to maintain the plasma ball, his body was suddenly enveloped in an electric current. He then controlled the electricity, carefully channeling it from his hands into the plasma ball.
As the electricity flowed in, the plasma ball's size grew larger, swelling from the size of an egg to the size of an apple, and then gradually expanding to the size of a pear.
Unfortunately, before he could continue infusing it with more electricity, he lost control, and the entire plasma ball exploded.
A deep pit, several meters in diameter, was created in the ground.
Luckily, his physical constitution was strong, and his ability to control electricity prevented him from being injured.
"Keep going!"
Despite his failure, he didn't give up. He immediately tried again.
Combining extraordinary abilities and magic to create a new technique wasn't an easy task.
This wasn't like when he combined ancient magic with the Thunder Giant.
That was more about releasing massive amounts of lightning through ancient magic, which the Thunder Giant would absorb to strengthen itself.
Even without ancient magic, using technological devices to generate lightning for the Thunder Giant to absorb could produce similar results, without much technical challenge.
Attempt after attempt, failure after failure, George had his original body and other avatars from different worlds temporarily focus all their attention on the development of the Electra Cannon.
Five days later, after having six bodies simultaneously working on it—including the use of a Time-Turner from the Harry Potter world, essentially giving him about thirty days of combined research—he finally succeeded in creating this new technique that combined extraordinary abilities and magic.
"Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon!"
Standing in the clearing, he pulled his hands apart, conjuring a plasma cannon the size of an egg. He injected electricity forcefully until it grew to the size of two basketballs. Then, he pushed it forward.
In an instant, the two basketball-sized electromagnetic cannonballs shot out a plasma beam, slamming into a small mountain over three hundred meters high on the opposite side.
The center of the mountain instantly vaporized, forming a large hole.
However, the power of the Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon didn't end there, as the plasma beam didn't dissipate. Instead, it continued to maintain its state.
George controlled the plasma beam, swinging it from side to side. To his amazement, the mountain was cut cleanly in half by the plasma beam.
The effect of the Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon was similar to a powerful move used by a little girl who could summon fire in a mobile game George had played in his previous life.
The only difference was that the girl summoned a fire pillar, while he released a plasma pillar.
Around ten seconds later, the plasma pillar dissipated, and George let out a slight sigh of relief.
Maintaining the plasma pillar wasn't easy, and after days of research and practice, he could only keep it active for about ten seconds.
But he was still very satisfied with the power.
Once his extraordinary ability reached level five, the power would only increase.
"It's a pity that it can't be used while in the Thunder Giant form."
Looking at the destroyed mountain in the distance, George lamented.
He couldn't help but imagine how powerful it would be to use the Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon with the boost from ancient magic and the Thunder Giant. If that happened, even most Saint Ten Magisters would likely be instantly defeated.
The principle behind the Thunder Giant is to use electromagnetic force to attract iron sand, rock, and soil from underground, eventually releasing an amplified version of the electromagnetic cannon.
In contrast, the Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon fuses electricity directly into the plasma cannon, making it impossible to form the Thunder Giant or absorb the lightning from ancient magic.
However, this issue is not insurmountable.
If his extraordinary ability could increase from level four to level five, he would be able to split the electricity—one half used to form the Thunder Giant, and the other half fused into the Plasma Cannon, allowing both to operate simultaneously.
Finally, he could absorb the lightning from ancient magic to further enhance the overall power.
In that case, he could unleash an ultimate Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon powerful enough to destroy an entire city.
"There's no rush; take it slow."
George shifted again, this time to David's laboratory located beneath the subway.
"Next, I need to learn the Soul Separation Spell and the Soul Sealing Spell."
The Soul Separation Spell is a magic that can separate a person's soul from their body. Balthazar used this spell when he extracted Morgana's soul from Veronica's body.
For George to obtain the Resurrection Spell from Morgana, he would need to separate her soul by himself. If he brought Balthazar and David along, interrogating Morgana for the spell wouldn't be easy.
If he did it alone, there were two main considerations.
The first was combat—he needed the strength to defeat Morgana on his own.
This wasn't much of a problem. With the power of his Plasma Electromagnetic Cannon, it would easily surpass David's machine gun plasma cannon. One hit would likely be enough to finish Morgana.
The main concern was the second aspect.
He needed to separate Morgana's soul from Veronica's body without killing Veronica in the process.
To do this, he would have to master the most difficult soul-related magic from the Merlin School.
Since he planned to learn the Soul Separation Spell, he might as well also learn the Soul Sealing Spell, as he saw it as a highly useful magic.
If he ever encountered an indestructible being, he could simply seal them away.
However, he had never studied soul magic before, so learning it would likely take some time.
But that wasn't a problem; he didn't urgently need these spells at the moment and could afford to take his time.
Perhaps he could even gather knowledge related to soul magic from his avatars in other worlds to help him learn these spells more quickly.
For instance, the dark magic Voldemort used to split his soul and create Horcruxes.
Of course, George wasn't foolish enough to practice splitting his soul like Voldemort did, which would drive him mad. However, the knowledge about souls could certainly be useful to him.
In fact, when he thought about it, there were some similarities between splitting his soul to create avatars in the myriad worlds and Voldemort's method of creating Horcruxes.
Each of his avatars in different worlds was like a Horcrux, and as long as one remained alive, he could never truly die.
