The easiest shield spell according to these books was the Protego spell that was taught in the fourth year of Hogwarts normally. Despite being taught the spell at that time very few students could actually perform it as one of it's requirements was the genuine fear of harm. Once the spell was successfully cast with this emotion however any cast after that no longer require it. It was an unusual...
2023-06-20 17:12:14 +0000 UTC View PostThe room was pretty much empty save for the single cage in the center of the room that held a very confused but normal rat. Nick made sure that he hadn't accidentally gotten Peter Pettigrew as that would be quite awkward. The plans he had to free Sirius early were very dependent on that particular rat not being any the wiser until it was far too late to react. Technically all Sirius was in Azka...
2023-06-20 17:10:14 +0000 UTC View PostAlex set down the meat near the chef and waited for the guy to work his magic. It didn't take long either as the chef tested the meat and and made an unusual expression when he did so. His face was a strange mix of joyful and hateful at the same time as he looked at the meat he had taken a piece of moments before. In the end the large lynian merely sighed before oiling up the stone cook surface...
2023-06-20 17:06:44 +0000 UTC View PostThe book made it clear right at the start that this was not a guide to alchemy which made Nick chuckle. The book's contents weren't about the art of alchemy either but rather a list of the best known alchemical items and what they did. It was an interesting and light topic to read as it wasn't teaching anything but rather was just a picture of the item and a description of it. Not all the entri...
2023-06-19 17:01:10 +0000 UTC View PostHelena was surprised to hear this and it showed by her expression "Oh , mother would have simply loved you. Just how far do you have this enchantment method completed in that head of yours?" she wondered out loud not expecting that he would actually answer. Nick of course decided that it would be best if he kept that there was another two levels beyond this one to the crafting style a secret fo...
2023-06-19 16:59:40 +0000 UTC View PostAlex had to clear away a large amount of crystals overhead as they were blocking him from flying the body back to astera. It wasn't hard but rather mostly tedious for him to do as there was quite frankly a lot of crystals of large size. Still he did it and hauled the corpse back to astera without any trouble at all. A few people were surprised that it only took him a couple of hours to go and k...
2023-06-19 16:53:58 +0000 UTC View PostNick personally had a four fold protective system in mind as his set of shields. The airtight hexagonal lattice net for initial detection followed by a endless swarm of birds as both an attack and distraction. After that there would be a massive fortress around the center of his mindscape and inside that would reside an immortal army of ring wraith clones heavily armed with magic and weaponry. ...
2023-06-18 17:58:11 +0000 UTC View PostNick watched as the snitch flitted past Adrien Pucey causing the boy to lose the quaffle from the surprise and both Harry and the Slytherin seeker hurtle towards the flying golden golfball from their respective positions in the sky. Harry was a bit faster however and got a firm lead on chasing the snitch when Marcus flint slammed into him to cut him off earning a foul on Slytherin and giving Gr...
2023-06-18 17:56:03 +0000 UTC View PostAlex was quite happy with the results of his training however as he gained a slightly more comprehensive grasp of the potential the elements held. The scholars were a bit disappointed that he hadn't attempted to fuse his other elements but understood and agreed with his concern as it was a valid one. Besides that Alex had people out searching the branches of the everstream for any signs of a se...
2023-06-18 17:53:03 +0000 UTC View PostWith the fortune currently at his disposal Nick could totally afford to have some of the venom imported from the few people crazy enough to rear the beast for profit. 'Whatever , I'll deal with this whole issue later.' he thought as he walked towards the quidditch pitch calmly. It was a brisk and chilly day but Nick didn't mind the cold as his winter clothes were fairly thick. This game was the...
2023-06-17 19:54:59 +0000 UTC View PostVoldemort had also not been having a very good time at all recently as the sudden escape of Grindelwald caused the security around where he was sure the stone was hidden to be tightened harshly. At first he had assume that he could take his time to dismantle the defenses around the stone but Quirrell's body was starting to reject his soul and getting damaged. This put him on a deadline that mad...
2023-06-17 19:53:19 +0000 UTC View PostAlex just needed to get his [hydrosis] trait to T7 in order to have all of his elemental powers in the master rank. But unfortunately there were no powerful water attribute monsters he could repeatedly farm nearby to grind out that upgrade. Instead of wasting his time on that Alex simply turned his attention to all the possible elemental fusions involving the dragon element. The hunter guild ha...
2023-06-17 16:48:54 +0000 UTC View PostHe left his newly formed mindscape in a daze and needed a few moments to sort of reboot mentally (ironic) and check the time. Ten minutes till six , which meant that it was time to head over to the great hall for dinner. It should be noted that ever since the dinner where Dumbledore had announced the escape of Grindelwald the man in question had simply not shown up at all anywhere for some reas...

Nick scoffed "Bah , Harry's a natural on a broom and I'd sooner expect to see Snape in a tutu than him to lose control of his broom over something he did." Nick defended while also secretly implying that someone will need to be attacking Harry...
2023-06-16 16:04:03 +0000 UTC View PostNick secretly followed the two of course since if canon events didn't play out correctly he would step in and save them. This ended up becoming necessary as what they found themselves confronting was so far beyond them that it wasn't even funny. Standing at 15 feet tall and looking like a tusk less humanoid elephant was the foul scented troll starting to get angry in the girls restroom. Nick wa...
2023-06-15 14:51:26 +0000 UTC View PostWhatever enmity the two of them had between each other needed to be put on the back burner while a threat to both of them like Grindelwald was free. Nick might really dislike the old wizard but even he knew how bad any sort of internal conflict would be at the moment. Nick merely stared the old man down before mouthing the words "Leave me alone" and turning away. Dumbledore sighed in relief as ...
2023-06-15 14:49:06 +0000 UTC View PostNick could help but appreciate the obvious dedication to teaching that Slytherin seemed to have as it was clear he held nothing back when writing this book. Knowing this he shamelessly stole it to add to his personal collection of books since he could appreciate what was held within. Honestly speaking Nick wanted to add the entire "ancient" section to his personal collection but unfortunately s...
2023-06-14 18:08:29 +0000 UTC View PostSalazar Slytherins books were amongst those that covered both sides of the mind arts which meant that they could likely be used to heal others if properly utilized. Nick started reading one of these books and was quickly drawn into the startlingly well documented information written within. He learned from the book that in fact both occlumency and legilimency were in fact once the same subject ...
2023-06-14 18:07:12 +0000 UTC View Post'What didn't believe me?' Alex teased the admiral after the man tested the extent of the damage on the ground. "Yeah yeah laugh it up , this is serious sid. You put a hole in the ground from a single drop of that stuff so I am understandably concerned." the man said with frown. 'Emergencies only old man and last I checked if it's an emergency for me you are already likely dead so relax will you...
2023-06-14 17:56:33 +0000 UTC View PostNick hung out with his friends for another couple hours before heading to the library to find as much information on the mind arts as he could. A few people noticed him in the hallways and the library itself and whispered amongst themselves. Nick ignored them however as he was hyper focused on his goal. He quickly began scouring the bookshelves starting from the first and making his way back. H...
2023-06-14 02:14:29 +0000 UTC View PostDumbledore was in his office dealing with the aftermath of Nicks retaliation with a tired expression while Fawkes seemed to gloat at his misery. He couldn't blame his familiar as he had been all but told by the magical bird not to take the path he did but he had thought himself beyond reproach and was now paying for it. Letters from the ministry , concerned parents and just all around angry wiz...
2023-06-14 02:13:03 +0000 UTC View Post"What sort of research?" Ron asked curiously. "Mind arts , occlumency , legilimency , confundus , stupefy and obliviate , that sort of thing. I suppose it should go without saying but the blood used to discern my heritage wasn't given freely and I'd like to prevent similar incidents." Nick said while making sure to keep his anger in check. He may have vented out his wrath with his revenge but t...

He spoke firmly and an arm thick bolt of electricity flew forth from the tip and struck the figure all while ever so briefly illuminating it's true appearance. It was a creature similar in appearance to that of a brown huntsman spider but the size of an adult man. The acromantula hissed in pain and seized up causing it to fall to the ground with a loud "THUD" but was clearly still aliv...
2023-06-13 20:45:51 +0000 UTC View PostAlex didn't get stuck in his thoughts however and charged at the monster that by this point in time realized that Alex was a bad opponent for it and was looking for a way to flee. Obviously this was simply not an acceptable outcome since at that point there was nothing to stop the monster from setting off another volcano. Alex was a firm believer that cataclysmic threats like this monster shoul...

"Not to worry mate , we haven't let you down so far and we've no plans to start now. Follow us." The other twin said with a grin and they left quickly. "We'll need to keep an eye out for professor sprout but otherwise it should be a cinch t...
2023-06-13 16:36:27 +0000 UTC View PostIt was clear to the entire school where the source of the information in the paper came from as Nick reveled in the look of disbelief on Dumbledore's face. The professors all had varying expressions at the situation from disbelief to amusement. Snape actually seemed slightly proud of this absolutely vicious retaliation on Nicks part. He better than most was aware of the terrible things the old ...
2023-06-13 16:34:45 +0000 UTC View PostNick finished his current book in this time but wasn't terribly impressed with any of the remaining rituals he found. Most of them had effects he could gain from simply making a ring while others were borderline dark magic and were unappealing to him as a result. The reason Nick didn't just enchant a ring to do the things that his list of rituals did was simply because he either didn't know how...
2023-06-12 17:19:34 +0000 UTC View PostHelena was fascinated by the principles behind Nick's crafting style and even said it was the perfect thing for a Ravenclaw as the more you know and understand the more powerful your enchantment. She did warn Nick heavily however that he probably should be very careful with using his spiritual energy as soul based magic's were the most unknown kind. Nick found this rather ironic considering tha...
