“The Dustless Domain, just as its name suggests, will cause any magic that has not been authorized by the host to be expelled from its area of effect once it is cast.”
“All wizards affected by the Dustless Domain will be temporarily prevented from releasing magic.”
“The stronger the wizard’s magical power, the shorter the duration of the effect.”
“But unless a counter-curse is cast in advance specifically to resist it, the anti-magic effect cannot be avoided.”
The moment Charles saw the description of the Dustless Domain, uncontrollable excitement surged through his heart.
It could really create area-wide anti-magic?!
Deep Blue, you’re incredible!
Compared with the banishment and suppression effects of the Complete Banishing Charm, anti-magic was on an entirely different level.
The Complete Banishing Charm could only weaken an enemy’s magical power, causing them to experience fear, panic, and other emotions as a result.
But the Dustless Domain genuinely sealed their magic.
One had to understand that to a wizard, magic was practically more important than their own hands and feet.
Moody had lost an eye, but he could replace it with a magical eye that was said to see everything.
In the original story, Wormtail sacrificed one of his arms to resurrect Voldemort, and Voldemort gave him a powerful magical arm in return.
This showed that losing hands, feet, eyes, and similar body parts would not have too great an impact on a wizard.
There were plenty of replacements available.
But magic was something that even Dumbledore could not replace.
A wizard who could no longer use magic was even more helpless than the Muggles they looked down upon.
No matter how many defensive spells they had mastered, once their magic was gone, they were completely helpless!
Charles’s eyes lit up.
With the Dustless Domain supporting them, his offensive spells such as the Eternal Blazing Sun and Laser Charm would become countless times more effective in actual combat.
First, cast the Dustless Domain and seal the enemy’s defensive spells and Apparition.
While the enemy was completely panicking, cast the Flash Charm and blind them.
At that point, they would be stumbling around like a headless fly.
Then follow up with the Eternal Blazing Sun.
Go ahead.
Run.
With a wizard’s physical abilities, combined with the instinctive panic caused by suddenly losing access to magic, how many people could actually escape the area covered by the Eternal Blazing Sun?
In fact, in most situations, the Dustless Domain alone would make the Eternal Blazing Sun unnecessary.
A single Laser Charm from Charles would be enough to finish the enemy.
At last, the problems that had been bothering Charles—his low hit rate and high combat risk—had essentially been solved.
If he could obtain another defensive spell in the future and have Deep Blue deduce it to an even higher level, then Charles would truly become an all-rounder in offense, control, and defense.
As long as his magic and mental strength did not run out, he would be able to calmly deal with the vast majority of opponents.
Furthermore, while experiencing the Dustless Domain, Charles discovered another important function of the spell. This chapter is updated first at g.com.
If he wanted, then within the area covered by the Dustless Domain, it wasn’t only the enemy’s magic that could be temporarily blocked.
Even the Trace placed on a wizard’s wand could be temporarily suppressed!
One had to understand that the Trace had been established by the Ministry of Magic to prevent underage wizards from abusing magic while outside school.
It could record every spell cast by an underage wizard using a wand and could be accessed by the Ministry whenever necessary.
In other words, this thing was basically the magical world’s equivalent of a portable surveillance system.
Unless you were so ridiculously talented that you could perform wandless magic while still underage, every spell you cast could be traced by the Ministry if they wanted to investigate it.
In the original story, Harry Potter cast magic in the Muggle world without knowing about the Trace and nearly ended up facing imprisonment because of it.
Charles had no intention of spending the next seven years constantly worrying about the Ministry of Magic and the Trace.
Moreover, if the special effects of the spells he had developed through Deep Blue were exposed, they would undoubtedly attract the covetous attention of many people.
Until he possessed enough strength to protect himself, Charles didn’t want that.
The appearance of the Dustless Domain solved this problem for him.
So what if he had a portable surveillance system following him around?
Whenever necessary, Charles could simply make that “portable surveillance system” stop working.
Then he could act without any restraints!
With all these effects, although the Dustless Domain had only undergone two deductions and still had plenty of room for further development, Charles had no intention of spending even more Deduction Points on it for the time being.
It was already more than enough.
Charles took a deep breath and returned his attention from the system to reality.
His mood was extremely pleasant.
Although the process of Deep Blue deducing the Dustless Domain from the Banishing Charm had seemed incredibly long, less than ten seconds had actually passed in the real world.
Dumbledore had only just stood up and walked from the side of the hospital bed to the doorway.
At this moment, he turned around and looked at Charles.
“Charles, the Banishing Charm isn’t something a first-year student can master overnight.”
“Come along.”
“I’ll take you to Diagon Alley to purchase everything you need.”
“You’ll have plenty of time to practice before the start of term.”
At this moment, Charles stretched out his hand.
Dumbledore immediately became nervous.
“What is it, Charles?”
“Are you feeling unwell?”
“Should I call a doctor?”
Charles shook his head. This story is hosted at g.com.
He looked at Dumbledore, and a strange glint flashed through his eyes.
He had no intention of deliberately hiding his abilities from Dumbledore.
Or rather, even if he did hide them, he had no intention of hiding too much.
The special spells that Deep Blue had developed could be kept secret.
But there was no point in concealing the speed at which he learned ordinary spells.
Once he entered Hogwarts, there was no way he could possibly keep something like that hidden.
It was like a piece of gold.
Even if you threw it onto a beach, it would still shine.
If Dumbledore eventually discovered that Charles had been deliberately hiding his abilities all along, it might instead arouse his suspicions.
It was better to openly display his astonishing talent from the very beginning.
After all, Charles already had the title of being the smartest student in the entire British Muggle world.
Talent like this might be astonishing, but it wasn’t impossible to understand.
More importantly, he could use that talent as a perfectly reasonable excuse to ask Dumbledore to teach him more powerful spells.
As for whether Dumbledore might secretly make some arrangements because of his talent…
He probably would.
But if that could be exchanged for opportunities to learn increasingly profound spells, Charles felt that it was worth it.
After all, there was no such thing as a free lunch in this world.
Well…
Except for the time Dark dragged him into the dream of R’lyeh.
And the time Dark force-fed him countless bottles of Ascension Potion…
In any case, Charles firmly believed that his rate of growth would be far beyond anything Dumbledore could imagine.
It would be enough to break through whatever arrangements Dumbledore might make.
Therefore, Charles spoke softly.
“No, Headmaster.”
“I’m not feeling unwell.”
“It’s just that I think the Banishing Charm you taught me earlier is a little too simple.”
“I’ve already learned it.”
“So…”
“Headmaster, could I borrow your wand for a moment?”
