Chapter 184

'Wait a minute' Harry thought, 'Don't the arrows qualify as magic? They technically could. Maybe I can use them!'

A plan formed in his head as he swiftly converted Gandiva back into its bow form and notched one of the insanely explosive Doom Arrows. There was no window popping in and saying that he had broken the Dungeon's rules, so Harry assumed that he was safe.

He took a deep breath, knowing that he'd have to time this perfectly.

With a flick of a finger, the earthen dome around him exploded outwards into a dozen pieces, pushing back the barrage of tentacles that was beating down upon it. Harry quickly rose to his feet and took careful aim at the Slime before letting go of the arrow, after which he immediately dropped the bow and pulled out his wand.

BOOM!

The Slime was immune to fire, but it wasn't immune to the concussive force of the explosion. The front of the Slime exploded into chunks, exposing the brightly glowing core. Before it could even start to pull itself back together, Harry took careful aim with his wand and incanted, "Aqua Eructo!"

A jet of water headed towards the glowing ball at Sending out a burst of mana, and Harry used all the skill in Hydromancy he had to boost the stream of water into lethal speeds moments before it hit.

Critical strike! Hydro Pump- 1671 x 300% times more = 5013 Attack!

With a loud boom, the glowing core exploded into a cloud of golden dust, only leaving behind a bunch of pieces of green goo scattered across the ground.

"Alright Ravenclaws, that will do for today," Professor Flitwick said out loud to the class as soon as the bell rang, "Remember to finish your three feet on the charm to make a pumpkin sing a jingle. That will be all for today."

Charms skill has been evolved due to reaching level 10 on a theoretical skill!

Spell Casting, Lv-10 (85%)

This skill represents the user's skill in the various aspects of casting spells, including but not limited to wand usage, spell casting speed, and spell casting accuracy.

Accuracy: 80%

Speed of Incantation: 200 WPM (Words Per Minute)

Wordless Spell Casting Mastery: 20%

Wandless Spell Casting Mastery: 15%

"Are you coming, Harry?" came the voice of Terry, who, alongside Hermione, had finished packing his books and was all ready to go off to the Great Hall for some much-deserved lunch. Harry smiled at him, nodding before he waved away the screen and picked up his own book bag, and followed his friends out of the class.

The Charms upgrade wasn't as revolutionary as the Potions Crafting Table, but then again, not much could be. However, it was informational and provided an answer to the question about why he couldn't yet cast spells wandlessly and wordlessly willy-nilly, despite having a wandless magic ability. He had theorized before that his old wandless magic skill was a type of raw manipulation of blunt magic, while wandless silent casting required a greater amount of control to form clean and purposeful 'spells'. That particular logic had some holes in it, but from the looks of it, it was the route that the game was going to follow.

As Harry followed his classmates and lined up in front of a frowning Filch who was tasked with escorting their class to and from the classes, he noted that the Transfiguration upgrade to Transformation Magic had been similarly informative. Harry surreptitiously pulled up his other new skill window to take another look at it.

Transformation Magic, Lv-10 (35%)

This skill will reflect your mastery and acumen in the arts of Transfiguration magic, including but not limited to Inanimate Transformation, Animate Transfiguration, Reversion, Conjuration, and Vanishment. This skill will eventually evolve to show the forms of Transfiguration you have mastered.

Learned Branches:

Inanimate Transformation: This refers to any Transfiguration that deforms or alters a non-living target in some way. Mastery: 60%

This skill was the skill he'd have to work on if he wanted to learn how to 'change his appearance' like it said in his description. Again, informative…but not as revolutionary as the Potions crafting table.

"Hurry up, I've got to take you all to Herbology after you finish with your lunch," barked Filch over the group's heads, and off they marched, with Harry, Terry, and Hermione bringing up the rear.

It had been three whole weeks since Dumbledore had left the school, and they had not been a pleasant three weeks for Harry.

It was common knowledge in the wizarding world that powerful wizards often had magic that affected the people around him. Harry's own ability to fake that effect was proving to be of tremendous use in his quest for making Lockhart appear more powerful. He had started using Hydromancy in Great Hall to slow down the blood flow of the people around Lockhart, triggering the symptoms of low blood pressure, making them lightheaded, just as it would if they were in front of someone with a staggering amount of magical power.

It was working.

The Lockhart skeptics, who had started to grow in numbers as the year had gone on, were now turning into Lockhart worshippers and fans, eating up any outlandish tales that he fed them in his classes. While going to bed every night, Harry was oft left with a horrible feeling in his stomach, knowing that he was helping a fraud become more credible and beloved.

Honestly, he had been trying quite hard to not think of the morality of what he was doing.
