With extraordinary comprehension, I built a floating city at Hogwarts.

In contrast, when wizards brew potions, their concoctions are filled with words like "a little" and "a moment," all based on guesswork.

It's less like a pharmaceutical manufacturing process and more like a cooking recipe.

It's just missing the line, "Coat it in egg wash and breadcrumbs, and even the neighbor's kid will be drooling."

The production of potions relies entirely on the alchemist's intuition; a misjudgment can easily lead to a disastrous outcome.

This has resulted in potions remaining a product of small workshops, unable to achieve large-scale production.

How can we industrialize magic while surrounded by such insects?

For example, right now, Levin is watching helplessly as Neville tries to throw the porcupine quills directly into the cauldron.

He reacted quickly, immediately waving his wand:

"Porcupine quills flying!"

The porcupine quill immediately flew out of Neville's hand and landed in Levin's hand.

"Porcupine quills can only be added after the crucible has been removed from the fire!" he reminded.

If Levin hadn't stopped it, the potion would have exploded just like in the original story, with the wrong potion splattering everywhere and giving him a head full of red, swollen scabies.

Upon hearing this, Neville suddenly realized what was happening and stammered, "Th...thank you, Levin."

Before Levin could respond, Snape's hissing voice rang in his ears: "Does our Mr. Grimm think that just because he has the title of 'Ravenclaw's genius,' he can teach others?"

"Interfering with someone's potion-making process, Ravenclaw loses 5 points!"

In the original book, the old Batman mocked and even deducted points from Harry's score because Harry hadn't reminded Neville.

Now that Levin has taken the initiative to remind him, he is still met with sarcastic remarks and points deductions.

Old bats are indeed difficult to deal with.

However, Levin did not leave empty-handed from this lesson:

[You've successfully concocted your first potion, mastering the skills of potion-making through practice. You've gained the feat of "Potion Mastery"]

[Potion Mastery: Your steady technique increases your success rate in spontaneous potion-making and reduces the chance of accidents.]

[While you were concocting a scabies potion, a sudden inspiration struck you, and you grasped the true essence of using potions to transform yourself. Combining this with the magic you possessed, you created new potion recipes: Permanent Bear's Resilience Elixir, Permanent Ox's Strength Elixir, Permanent Cat's Elegance Elixir, Permanent Fox's Cunning Elixir, Permanent Owl's Wisdom Elixir, and Permanent Eagle's Majesty Elixir.]

It's a permanent attribute elixir!

Levin was very satisfied with the results of this epiphany.

For wizards, spellcasting ability is of utmost importance, but physical fitness is equally crucial.

Unfortunately, throughout the entire Harry Potter world, there are no potions that can enhance a wizard's physical and mental abilities.

If you want to become stronger, you have to train hard yourself.

Levin had also thought about when he should start exercising. Even as a wizard, one should develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically in a balanced way.

Now that there's a shortcut, there's no need to work so hard.

The only concern is that the materials needed for these potions are quite precious and require time to collect.

For example, the main ingredient of the [Essence of Eternal Bull Power] is the blood of the Reem Bull. Because the supply of this blood is very small, it is rarely sold on the open market, and it is not easy to obtain.

For example, the "Essence of Elegance for Permanent Cats" requires the claw powder of leopard cats, the "Essence of Cunning for Permanent Foxes" requires the tail tip of nine-tailed foxes, the "Essence of Majesty for Permanent Eagles" requires the beak powder of griffins, and the "Essence of Resilience for Permanent Bears" requires the paw of bears.

These are all extremely rare materials from all over the world; to buy them all would require a huge expense.

The worst one is the [Permanent Owl's Wise Elixir], whose main ingredient is the head feather of an owl, but in Levin's memory, there are no owls in the Harry Potter world.

The auxiliary materials are relatively easy to obtain.

Examples include hopra juice, moonstone, mud monster tongue, unicorn hair, etc.

They can all be obtained in the Forbidden Forest.

"Damn it! He just swore he wouldn't go to the Forbidden Forest, and now he's going to change his mind. Plans never keep up with changes."

Levin was quite helpless about this.

What else could he do?

As long as I can become stronger, I don't mind barking a few more times.

Anyway, he was only swearing to himself; no one else could hear him.

In short, inventing a formula does not mean that attributes will be immediately enhanced.

But it's a good start overall.

This further solidified Levin's determination to earn more money.

Chapter 21 Identification Techniques and Micrometeoroids

Potions class is usually taught in two consecutive periods, making it one of the longest single-period classes.

This also stems from the characteristics of Potions class.

The process of processing medicinal herbs is very complicated, and the decoction time for many medicines can easily be one or two hours.

Therefore, even two consecutive periods of Potions class are considered short.

When it comes to potions that require long brewing times, the young wizards have absolutely no chance to experiment or make mistakes.

If you cook one pot incorrectly, you won't be able to cook a second one before get out of class ends.

Besides the potions class, there was another annoying class that day—astronomy.

To allow for clearer observation of the stars, astronomy classes don't start until late at night.

This severely affected Levin's sleep.

Astronomy lessons were held in the Astronomy Tower, the highest point in the entire castle.

The astronomy professor was Professor Aurora Sinister, a Black witch who looked to be only in her thirties.

Like her astronomy class, Professor Sinister has little presence in the original work.

It sounds like astronomy isn't important to wizards.

That's not entirely true.

After taking this lesson, Levin finally understood that celestial bodies possess immense magical power.

Every celestial body that can be observed by the naked eye of Earthlings is a shining star from light-years away.

Their power, along with starlight, radiated across light-years to Earth, where it was used by wizards.

Of course, the magic radiated along with the starlight is extremely weak, barely perceptible, and only enough to light a candle for casting a spell.

But that doesn't matter.

This magic, which comes with the starlight, serves to connect the stars with the wizard.

Once the connection is established, the powerful magic of the stars can be truly invoked through the appropriate ritual.

Of course, this kind of ritual magic is powerful and ancient, and it won't be taught in Hogwarts classrooms.

Through ritual magic, wizards can accomplish many "miracles" with a small (relatively speaking) amount of magic power!

To utilize the stars as a source of ritual power, one must naturally study astronomy thoroughly.

Many ritual magics involve conditions such as "solar eclipse", "full moon", "alignment of nine planets", "arrival of a comet", "meteor shower", and "planetary reaching the correct position".

The most typical example of this is astrology.

Therefore, for Levin, who aspires to become a powerful mage and magic researcher, mastering astronomy is essential.

During his observation of the starry sky, Levin naturally gained some insights.

[You have listened to an introductory course in astrology, gaining a deep understanding of the stars and destiny; your divination expertise has been enhanced.]

You have grasped the power of stars and destiny from the starry sky; you have mastered the magic [Appraisal] and [Micrometeor].

[Identification: Identifies all the magical properties of a magical item, including how to activate its function (if necessary).]

How many spell charges (if any) are left on this item?

This is a very useful ability for wizards who run pawn shops and secondhand stores.

After all, wizards create all sorts of magical items, and who knows what hidden energy they might contain, or what terrible curse they might harbor?

Even Dumbledore was tricked by the cursed opal necklace.

With this skill, Levin could easily open a small stall in Diagon Alley and become rich.

[Micro Meteor: The caster creates miniature fireballs in their hands; these energy constructs are considered extraordinary weapons.]

【Micro Meteor】In other dimensions, it has another name: 【Mayoufu Micro Meteor】, which is a famous low-level god-slaying spell.

However, there is no Malfoy in the Harry Potter world; it is Levin Green who mastered this spell.

Therefore, even if we were to add a prefix to this spell, it would still have to be called "Levin's Micro Meteor".

This is a seemingly unremarkable 3rd-level spell.

In terms of damage output alone, this spell is inferior to both the arcane spell [Fireball] and the dark magic [Explosion Spell].

However, the Micro Meteor has a very special feature: it is a magical creation and is regarded as a supernatural weapon. This means that even a god's incarnation cannot be completely immune to the damage it causes.

It's important to understand that in high-level combat, the most important thing is not how much damage you inflict.

Rather, it's about how to launch a special attack targeting the enemy's defenses and how to inflict damage.

After all, there are quite a few spells similar to magic immunity, targeted elemental immunity, and targeted faction immunity.

Both sides need to outwit and outmaneuver each other at this level of rules.

At this point, the advantage of the [Micro Meteor]'s forced damage characteristic becomes apparent.

As long as damage can be inflicted, even if it's just 1 point of health lost each time, it can accumulate and achieve the effect of slaying a god.

Overall, it was a very fruitful evening.

Levin's resentment about staying up all night gradually disappeared.

But then again, sleeping in today isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Because the next morning was Defense Against the Dark Arts class.

Defense Against the Dark Arts,
