The Heavens: Hogwarts Transfer Students

Chapter 21 The First Lesson of Winterhold

It was by chance that Lind started his own club, or student society, as he called it. When he was at the College of Winterhold, he showed excellent abilities. As he introduced the scientific theories of Muggles in World I, especially mathematics knowledge, into the study of magic, he became a master, and he was very popular among the apprentices. Gained a great reputation.

During those days, he was immersed in the knowledge of various departments of magic and didn't care about other things.

Linde still remembered that his first class in Winterhold was the Department of Transformation, taught by the old and steady Master Tolfdir.

Tolfdir is one of the few transformation masters in Tamriel, and he is willing to share his knowledge. There is no class schedule in the college, and lectures are usually organized by teachers and scholars themselves, and interested members can come to attend lectures.

For those freshmen who have potential but lack theoretical knowledge, the college will also arrange teachers to teach.

There are only nine freshmen in the academy, including Linde. Most of them are Bretons and elves. They are naturally sensitive to magic power, so they are very suitable mage seedlings.

Linde went early enough. Apart from him, there was only one dark elf woman in the Temple of Elements. She stood in the spell testing area and practiced destruction against a magic dummy.

A thumb-sized fireball flew and landed on the dummy, producing an explosion flame with a diameter of one meter. When the shock wave and heat reached the edge of the test area, they were absorbed by the barrier. Linde took a closer look. The damage caused by these fireballs on the dummy was much weaker than expected. They could only blow off fingers, but could not tear apart limbs, nor did they cause large-scale burns.

"Hmm." He saw at least three problems with this spell at a glance, and sighed unconsciously.

The dark elf woman stopped casting spells and turned her head to stare at Linde. The skin of their race is dark purple, and the eyes are red like blood. They look extremely evil and make people uncomfortable. This is the result of being cursed by the demon god. In fact, they are not addicts. A race that kills like life, it also has a beautiful appearance before being cursed.

The dark elf in front of him had stubborn eyes, like two burning candles, and his tone was even more aggressive, "Do you have any opinions on my spells? Or are you just looking at my jokes?"

Linde was gentle and friendly, "I'm sorry, I'm here for class. Please don't mind me. But, if you don't mind, I have the detailed spell configuration of the fire bomb here, you can refer to it." He He took out a page from his portable notebook and handed it to the dark elf mage.

The dark elf woman showed a complicated expression, hesitated to speak, and when she reluctantly took the manuscript paper and looked at it, she immediately understood where the problem was. "Oh, that's it. I'm sorry, I was too harsh on you just now. Please forgive my impulsiveness."

Linde smiled, "Is it helpful to you?"

"Yes, it's very helpful, but in fact, I'm better at summoning. So..."

"I understand. I understand. It just so happens that I am also interested in the theory of the Summoning System recently. We can discuss it together if we have the opportunity."

The dark elf mage said coyly, "Forget it, I'm more used to researching alone." Then, she turned her head and fired the fireball at the magic doll again. This time, she made significant progress.

After a while, the students arrived one after another.

The lecturer Tovdir is an old man with gray hair and a goatee. He was very happy to see Linde, "A new member has joined us."

The others responded lukewarmly and nodded towards Linde.

Toftil's courses are as calm as he himself, and they are all theoretical, from an overview of magic to the basic subjects before the Transformation Department. Linde's progress lags behind others, and some things are incomprehensible.

The mainstream magic of the "The Elder Scrolls" series follows natural philosophy, which is a process of summarizing laws through observation of the objective world, and then applying them. This is very different from the magic in the world of "Harry Potter". Or, more bluntly, treat the magic of The Elder Scrolls as science.

The transformation school studies the manipulation of nature and its material properties. Master Tovdir took "Wooden Armor" as an example to explain what pre-requisite knowledge is required to master this spell, from the observation of plant cells to structural mechanics, How to control the magic power to form a defensive magic barrier on the body surface is inseparable from the understanding of wood materials and the control of the magic power attributes.

Linde listened with gusto. The magic in the world of the Elder Scrolls actually suits his appetite. Natural philosophy is always more intuitive and easier to be grasped by people's intellectual thinking.

However, his classmates were very dissatisfied. Everyone was tired of theory, and they must try practice.

Toftil couldn't resist these rough and impatient students. Even though he repeatedly warned that magic is a chaotic and dangerous energy, these students still boasted of their outstanding abilities and were not convinced.

Toftdir had no choice but to promise everyone and demonstrate the enchantment magic.

Enchantment is a recovery spell that protects against magical attacks. A mage is similar to a warrior when facing waves. He releases offensive spells with one hand, and holds the enchantment shield with the other hand. Using this spell as a demonstration can also minimize surprises.

Tovdir looked at the taciturn Linde, "You didn't say a word just now, what did you think about the suggestions you made to your classmates?"

"Theoretical study is very important. I don't think rashly casting magic is something to brag about."

"Well, a very steady idea. Then you will help me demonstrate this spell."

Linde's mage classmates whispered.

"No problem, but I don't know any enchantment."

Tofter was also a little surprised, so he had to teach on the spot. Fortunately, Linde was not really ignorant, and had already studied the theoretical basis for a period of time before class.

The mainstream magic of the Elder Scrolls series requires three elements. The first element is magical energy, which can be seen everywhere in this world, and there is nothing unusual about it. The second element is spell formation, which requires solid knowledge and precise calculations. The third element is the soul Energy, the essence of power contained in every living being.

The role of soul energy is to build spell models and absorb and transform magic energy, which is the core element in the process of casting spells. But the most difficult part is to build a spell model. This element is the essence of the magic system and the core indicator for considering the wisdom and ability of a mage.

The "Secondary Barrier Technique" taught by Tovdir on the spot is very simple. Among all novice-level spells, its spell configuration is easy to understand.

The principle of the secondary enchantment technique is to gather the surrounding magical energy in the spell model, and directly spray it out at a constant speed without transformation, forming a shield-shaped jet in front of the caster. The only difficulty of this spell is to control the speed of the magic jet, as long as the size of the spout is limited within the range, it will not fail.

Linde tried a little and succeeded immediately, almost learning it in the blink of an eye.

Toftil bombarded the barrier with weak fireballs, tiny ice arrows, and depleted electric currents, all of which were successfully defended by Linde.

"Excellent! An excellent demonstration. Everyone else, keep practicing enchantment."

Linde's talent has undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention. After class, many students became more enthusiastic and greeted him one after another, but most of them were limited to this. In addition to the dark elf mage, only a young Nord mage named Angmond introduced himself to him. He was also one of the students who encouraged Tovdir to demonstrate magic in the class just now.

"You're a Nord," Lind laughed. "You must be prejudiced to be a Nord mage?"

"That's impossible. I can't convince my family. But I think it's all worth it."

"Of course it's worth it. But learning magic requires hard work and calm thinking. You were really impatient in class just now. I also want to hear more about the basic theory from Master Toftil."

"This also gives you a chance to show off, doesn't it?" Onmond shrugged.

"Yeah, it made me famous." Linde said half-jokingly. They talked and laughed and went back to the dormitory together.

Since then, Linde has spent most of his time in the college library, where all the prerequisite knowledge he needs is available. With his efficiency, within half a month, he could master all the best books in Winterhold College since the Second Era.
