The God of Ice and Fire at Hogwarts

Professor Green seemed to notice what Lynn was thinking. He nodded slightly and said, "As you might guess, in order to avoid being feared by the major Ministries of Magic, I deliberately reduced the alchemical power contained in the Anti-Magic Stone that was released to the public. This, however, is my true masterpiece. The reason I brought it out today is to test the power of your fire magic. With your magic suppressed by the Anti-Magic Stone, it won't burn down my office, and I can gather data in the process."

Lynn understood and put on the Anti-Magic bracelet that Professor Green handed him.

A suppressed sigh escaped him, and Lynn suddenly felt slightly out of breath.

He could feel the flow of magical energy in his body slow significantly, and his own magic seemed to have become less responsive.

"This happens because your magic has been circulating in your body for so long that the sudden suppression causes instinctive discomfort. Breathe deeply and try to let your body adjust to it," Professor Green instructed.

Lynn followed his advice, and the discomfort gradually eased.

Lifting his wand, Lynn conjured a flame that burned brightly between the two of them.

As Professor Green had described, the Anti-Magic bracelet suppressed 90% of Lynn's magical control. If the diameter of the flames he could conjure was typically ten meters, it was now reduced to just one meter. This also meant he could no longer manipulate the shape of the flames as freely as before.

"There's no need to deliberately control the shape of the flame. Focus on generating as much magical energy as possible to maximize its power," Professor Green advised. He was more interested in the raw power of Lynn's fire spell than his ability to manipulate it.

Taking this into account, Lynn abandoned attempts to control the shape of the flames and concentrated on making them stronger.

Soon, his fire spell reached its limit. Lynn had a premonition that if he pushed it further, the flames would spiral out of control.

"That's enough; stop."

Professor Green, sensing they had gathered sufficient data, asked Lynn to extinguish the flames. He then removed the Anti-Magic bracelet from Lynn's wrist and put it away.

Next, Professor Green retrieved an alchemical device resembling a camera from a nearby table. The device emitted a faint glow as it had recorded the data while Lynn cast his fire spell.

"Data collection is nearly complete. Let's see the original power of your fire spell," Professor Green said as he manipulated the alchemical device.

A curtain of light projected from the device's lens onto the ground, displaying a model of Lynn's body. Alongside it, a series of ancient runic symbols appeared one after another.

With his current knowledge of ancient runes, Lynn could barely discern the words "fire," "magic," and "level" among the symbols.

"This is an alchemical creation of my master, designed to evaluate magical abilities. It's called the Magic Power Evaluator. Based on the data it analyzed, your current level of fire spellcasting is equivalent to that of an Auror," Professor Green explained, retracting the light projection.

Professor Green turned to Lynn. "Although your magical reserves are limited, your control over fire spells places you on par with Ministry Aurors. I think you're ready to begin experimenting with wandless fire spellcasting."

Under normal circumstances, wizards require wands to successfully cast spells. Without a wand to guide it, the magical energy within a wizard's body is challenging to control, making wandless magic highly inefficient. Without the wand's focus, a wizard must expend significantly more energy to achieve the same level of magic. This inefficiency makes wandless magic demanding, typically suited only to wizards with strong magical reserves, which peak after reaching adulthood.

For these reasons, even the most talented wizards usually attempt wandless magic only after reaching adulthood.

However, Lynn's innate talent for controlling flames allowed him to convert magical energy into fire more efficiently, giving him an advantage in attempting wandless magic.

"But Professor," Lynn asked, "how should I begin practicing wandless casting?"

Professor Green replied, "When you attempted silent casting, you must have felt the flow of magical energy in your body as you cast your fire spell, correct?"

Lynn nodded. "Yes, I could feel the magical energy following a specific trajectory, eventually channeling into my wand and forming the flame. However, it's difficult to fully grasp this path. When I tried silent casting, I actively attempted to control the flow of energy. But most of it still moved passively along its natural course, and my efforts only helped speed it up."

Professor Green continued, "You're on the right track. Next, you need to continue exploring the trajectory of this energy as you cast silently. Then, try redirecting the magical flow from your wand to your body. Once you master this, you'll be able to cast spells without your wand."

"For most people, even if they succeed in wandless casting, the flames would be significantly weaker. But you're different. Your unique affinity for flames allows you to maintain control even when the fire originates from your body. This is your advantage," Professor Green said decisively.

With that, Lynn began to focus on feeling the flow of magical energy within his body as he cast fire spells.

The afternoon passed quickly. With Professor Green's guidance, Lynn managed to identify a stable magical path within his body.

However, when he set his wand aside and attempted to redirect the energy flow from his wand to his palm, the magical energy seemed to stall and refused to obey his command.
