My new batch of books arrived when I next awoke and I imdiately got busy with the charms book. This one was on little known spells that while useful to a degree weren't covered in the course of the subject this year or any other. This was also where I first was exposed to the rare field of illusion magic. This magic was unfortunately one that was underutilized and more often than not left forgotten. To clarify magic fell into different categorizations beyond the well known ones like charms, hexes, curses and so on.-
The fields are control, destruction, alteration, illusion, mysticism and restoration. Control spells do exactly as stated in that they forcefully exert control over the target. Winggardium leviosa and Tarantallegra fall into this category. Destruction spells are the sort that create dangerous forces such as Ignio, Glacius and diffindo. Alteration spells are not to be confused with transfiguration as it alters a property of the target permanently. The sour hex is one such example as it makes whatever it's used on incredibly sour. Illusion spells are ones specifically ant to trick the senses and include such spells as Muffliato, disillusionnt charm and muggle repellant charms.-
Mysticism is spells that rely on foreign elents such as the Fiendfyre spell. Restoration spells are the sort that fix things like Reparo or Episkey. Most healing spells fall into this category. Anyways besides one or two well known spells like the ones I ntioned the illusion field of magic tended to be ignored. This was a sha in my opinion as truly controlling all five senses of soone was an incredibly broken ability. Take Sosuke Aizen from the Bleach ani. Using his swords ability to do precisely that he had the most powerful people in the world thinking he was dead. They even perford an autopsy on his "corpse" and couldn't tell the difference between the illusion and reality.-
With his swords ability he was nearly untouchable so long as he wasn't caught in an area of effect type attack. That was the potential illusions held and yet to nearly everyone the field was considered little more than petty tricks. So you could imagine my great joy at finding a spell of this type in this new book. Transeatur Parte was an illusion spell that made the user appear to anyone looking to be standing in a location almost exactly six inches to the left or right of their true location.-
This doesn't sound very impressive until you understand that six inches could an the difference between getting a bullet to the brain and the bullet harmlessly missing. In a magical duel it ant actually hitting the caster required first knowing precisely where they are standing. If you aim for center mass as most wizards do then you'll at best only hit the sides of the target or miss entirely and that's without the person moving to dodge.-
There was a slight catch with the spell that made it a bit hard to train, the caster wasn't effected. This ant you'd need a mirror of so decent size to tell whether or not it worked as your reflection would be what the illusion showed but you'd still know where you are. Still the ROR was a thing so I'd sooner or later master this spell as it would be an extra layer of security for . The book had plenty of other situational at best type spells that I greedily morized. -
To my surprise my [Speed reading] skill rose to level two right as I finished the book and testing it with the Herbology book found that my reading speed had flat doubled from what it was before. Thanks to this I managed to complete the book before my next dosing. The next day when I woke up I managed to complete the transfiguration, history of magic and Potion books before being dosed again. This change was a welco one for as the more books I could read in the shortest amount of ti the more knowledge I would eventually have at my fingertips from the massive library here at Hogwarts.-
I checked on the third day to see if I was alone before contacting David to see how that whole situation was going. The world greyed out and the screen appeared before showing David in the middle of eating a burger, not a good looking one at that. I didn't know what it was made of exactly but it wasn't at and vegetables that's for sure. He paused mid bite with a surprised expression before deciding to go through with it in the end.-
"Catch you at a bad ti?" I asked raising an eyebrow.
He swallowed the mouthful of not-burger "Nah choom. After I paid off Maine these last couple of days have been preem as hell." he said with a grin.
"I imagine. How much did you end up getting for all that gold in the end?" I asked curiously.
"A bit over a million eds, Fixer took three hundred k though. " he said with a grimace.
"Five hundred and fifty thousand still isn't bad as a final payday. Not nearly enough to live in the lap of luxury but good enough for my plan." I said with a nod.
"Gonna fill in the blanks here or nah? What's the plan choom?" he asked leaning forward.
"First things first you need to go see a ripperdoc, man by the na of Victor Vector set up in Watson behind an Esoterica shop. I know it's ironic coming from a wizard like but that shops not important right now, the ripper is. I'm not joking when I say he's the best public ripperdoc in Night city that isn't a corporation asset. Went to dical school and everything. Anyways get an appointnt with him to check if your Sandevistan is put on right or needs adjustnt. Beyond that you want a top of the line neuroport and Kiroshi Mk five Oracle optics. If he doesn't have the optics see about as high grade of the Stalker series as you can get." I say seriously.
