As a Master of Magic, Newt clearly understood where Kate’s problem lay.
Most young Wizards themselves had not yet fully developed, lacking sufficient magical power, which made casting spells somewhat more difficult.
Only through continuous practice, promoting the growth of magical power and familiarity with the spell, could it be released.
In this process, talent indeed played a role.
If you had a Child with average talent and a Child with top-tier talent learning the same spell simultaneously, one might need to practice for a day or even a month to succeed, while the other might only need a few hours or even less.
But, at least with some everyday Basic Spells, every Child had the ability to learn them all and release them properly.
Only with some more advanced, or top-tier spells, would talent play a more decisive role.
Those top Legendary Wizards were all exceptionally gifted geniuses.
But Kate was different; she lacked neither magical power, talent, nor knowledge of the Wizarding World.
Yet, precisely because of this, it led to her current situation.
“The Levitation Charm is an Introductory Spell for young Wizards at Hogwarts. It requires focused patience and precise control over the spell.”
Newt sat on a chair, picked up a feather, gave his wand a slight flick, “Wingardium Leviosa.”
The feather on his palm wobbled and floated up, hovering in the air.
While maintaining the feather, Newt looked up and asked, “Can you see the difference between the Levitation Charm I cast and the one you cast?”
From the pauses in the incantation to the changes in movement, Kate couldn’t see any difference between his method and hers.
Since it wasn’t an external factor, then it must be related to something internal, right?
Picking up her wand again, Kate carefully aimed at the feather and softly recited, “Wingardium Leviosa.”
Everything around her also began to shake, as if ready to break free from Earth’s gravity and soar high.
Kate stared intently at that feather, her wand-holding hand trembling slightly.
Even though it was just the simplest Levitation Charm, the process of casting it could still bring a thin layer of sweat to her forehead.
After a long silence, the feather on her palm was finally pulled by her magical power, trembling as it left her palm.
And then it fell back down again.
Kate abruptly threw her head back, gasping for breath, her dark eyes still visibly dazed.
She was so close, just a little bit away from success. Read this novel at g.com for the best experience.
“You still have a long way to go. You need to be more focused.”
Newt shook his head, stood up, and placed his feather in front of her, “Practice slowly. You’ll succeed eventually.”
As he spoke, he saw Kate, as if she hadn’t heard him, aim at the feather again and recite the incantation.
And this time, the shaking of the small objects around her was slightly less intense than before.
Newt smiled with relief, quietly closed the door, and left the room.
Magical power was Kate’s biggest problem.
Because she had never cast a spell under proper guidance, yet had grown up immersed in a magical environment since childhood.
She had probably seen spells like the Levitation Charm countless times.
But precisely because of this, after possessing a vast amount of magical power herself, Kate would naturally start imitating the spells she had seen before.
A true Levitation Charm requires precise targeting of a specific object; focus and precise control of magical power are crucial.
However, without guidance, Kate subconsciously chose the shortcut, using her immense magical power to forcibly cast the spell.
In simpler terms, it was “I can’t target you specifically, but I can spray and pray.”
So when casting the spell, the things around her were affected by the massively released magical power and started floating along.
But this was already contrary to the Levitation Charm’s requirements of focus and precise control.
Of course, Newt also knew that his Young Disciple didn’t do this intentionally; it was just that without Systematic Learning, her body subconsciously chose the most convenient path.
But if this continued, she would inevitably head down a misguided path.
Who would have thought that the Levitation Charm, extremely simple for ordinary young Wizards, would become a difficult hurdle for Kate, whose talent far surpassed her peers?
This must have been quite a blow to the Little Girl in the room.
Standing outside the door, he sighed softly, turned around, and just then saw his wife wanting to bring up some Tea and Snacks.
“Let her practice alone for a while,” he whispered to his wife, and the two of them quietly went Downstairs from the Second Floor.
The Old Couple waited anxiously Downstairs, doing chores while time passed.
“Dear, it’s time for dinner…”
Her voice stopped abruptly the moment she pushed the door open.
Everything within sight was floating, and even Kate herself was floating in the air, holding her wand with an air of ease.
Had this Child still not grasped the essence of the Levitation Charm?
She couldn’t help but think this, a loving smile appearing on her face, “Little Kate, you can practice more after dinner.”
“Mm, I know!” Kate in mid-air beamed and landed lightly on the ground.
At the same time, her wand kept twitching, returning every floating object in front of her to its original place one by one.
Watching her actions, Tina couldn’t help but slightly widen her pupils.
This wasn’t object suspension caused by magical overflow, but rather each object had been individually subjected to Levitation Charms of varying strengths.
Ordinary young Wizards practice the Levitation Charm starting with objects of different weights and sizes, and the training is always focused on a single object.
But Kate was actually controlling objects of different weights and sizes simultaneously!
Although many accomplished Wizards use Divided Attention Casting, very few can master it without guidance right from the start of learning magic.
Don’t think Kate was only using Divided Attention to cast the Levitation Charm; this was just the result of one afternoon’s practice.
She would surely continue to improve in the future.
Understanding one method can lead to understanding ten thousand methods.
Would there come a day when Kate could grow to a level where she could face thousands of troops?
Unaware of the storm raging in Tina’s heart, Kate remained focused on controlling the Levitation Charm she had just learned.
After returning the last Bedding Item to its place, she hopped over and took Tina’s hand, “Madam, let’s go have dinner!”
