Although [War Magic — Shadow Shift] sounded similar to Phantom Shift and Phantom Reveal, it was not at the same level of magic at all.
As for the last two spells, they were simplified spells from Shadow Shift. These two spells actually had the same effect.
However, leaving was called Phantom Shift, and appearing was called Phantom Reveal.
In the study of magic, Phantom Shift was only available to students 17 years old and above.
And this magic was dangerous. Sometimes, if one was not careful, one part of the body would reach the target of the Phantom Shift, while the other part of the body would still be in the same place. This was called "separation" — Ron in the last part of the original work had encountered such a tragic incident.
Therefore, Phantom Shift was very dangerous and not easy to learn.
But [Shadow Shift] was different.
As a movement magic with an ancient history of application, this magic was not very dangerous, but it was more complicated and troublesome to learn.
Actually, it wasn't that troublesome. The most important thing was that this magic had very strict requirements for the environment in which it was cast.
It did not matter whether the surrounding magic environment was chaotic or not, but one thing that had to be met was that the surrounding magic concentration had to be strong enough.
Otherwise, there was no way to gather enough power to break through the space and protect the spellcaster.
A few seconds later, Jon's figure appeared in the bedroom and then collapsed on the bed. The package in his hand fell from his hand and fell on the soft mattress. Fortunately, Jon had protected the package with magic in advance. Otherwise, those magic potions mixed together, who knew what kind of trouble would have caused.
But this was not the most serious thing.
The most important thing was that he was exhausted.
It was as if he was imprisoned in this body. His brain could think, but his body could not move.
This was the aftereffect of Shadow Shift.
Traversing through space was indeed convenient, but for someone like Chown who was traversing through space for the first time, the pressure in the space crack was actually very high. He needed a certain amount of time to adapt. The problem with Chown was that his soul had been strengthened many times, but his body hadn't been strengthened at the same time. It was only strengthened along with the increase in magic power.
However, as a magic that could be regarded as a high-grade spell thousands of years ago, it was naturally more difficult in the current era. Even if Helga helped to simplify it for Jon, there was no way to avoid the laws of space involved in its essence.
The so-called simplification of the Phantom Transfiguration spell was to cut out the process of passing through the spatial gap that Chown had just experienced. Instead, it was to use a more stable passage that had been set up in advance to travel through space.
However, the disadvantage of Phantom Shift was obvious. This spell did not have the laws of space, and the distance of travel was very limited. It could only be used within the sphere of influence of the International Union of Magic.
The range of this transfer was similar to the "Magic Net Theory." The International Union of Magic established a communication network within its sphere of influence, connecting the magic transportation networks of various countries to provide convenience for the Wizard. As long as the Wizard had enough magic power, he could use this network to perform Phantom Shift once or several times to reach the place he wanted to go.
This was the advantage of magic. There was no need to set a predetermined location. The transportation facilities in the Muggle world had to be built first before they could be used. Some places could not be reached by car, and they had to walk. If it was the magic world, there was no such worry, because the roads in the magic world were mobile.
In other words, only the roads between the air networks were stable, and all other transportation methods were temporarily created channels. There was no need to fix a station in a certain place in advance.
Therefore, spells like Phantom Shift that carried out teleportation would hurt the Wizard's body. It was unstable and without protection, it did not look like it would be safe no matter how one looked at it.
The air network was safe because it was stable, and the Floo Powder could provide some protection.
And Phantom Shift was quite good in terms of protection. It could be listed in the series of war spells, at least it proved that this spell was practical in war.
Of course, this practicality was at the level of transfer. First of all, the safety of the Wizard who used this spell must be guaranteed. Otherwise, it would not be the Wizard who appeared in front of the enemy, but the Wizard's corpse.
Just like what Jon felt in the dream created by [Double Backtracking], this spell mainly relied on the magical energy around the Wizard. It gathered a large amount of free magical energy in an instant to create a defensive spell around the Wizard. This defensive spell was not fixed. It mainly depended on what kind of spells the Wizard was good at. But most of the time, it was the more popular [Moving Fortress], which was the single target defensive spell Jon used on the ship before. Today, the more commonly used defensive spell in the Wizard world was simplified from this spell.
This was also the reason why Jon could quickly learn the spells modified by Helga. Basically, all the spells in the Wizard world were systematic. A certain type of spell seemed difficult, but in reality, there could be two simplified versions of the spell that could be used.
The principles of magic were common. There were basically two types of spells that could be used in a deteriorating magical environment. One was directly related to the rules of magic, such as Helga's Phantom Projection, Loina's True Sight, and Avada's Life. The second was a simplified version of a high-level spell, which could continuously adapt to the deteriorating magical environment. After all, the duration of this would be relatively long.
In a situation where there were not many new spells to begin with, Jon's learning and the society's modification of the spells had been progressing at the same time. Those spells, rather than being modified, could be said that Helga had restored the original spells of the corresponding spells. It was just that the spells were released at the same rate as the spells in the magical environment.
Other people's modifications of the spells were mostly the same.
Because of this, Snape's ability to create his own spells was all the more precious.
Jon did not have the ability to create his own spells now. After all, his understanding of magic was only so-so at this stage. Not to mention creating his own spells, he had not even learned all the existing spells.
After lying on the bed for half an hour, Jon finally regained control of his own body.
He climbed out of bed and tried to use the magical power in his body to regain feeling in his limbs. Then, he took out the magic potions in his box and poured them into the sewer to dilute them. This would make the magic potions become ordinary dirty water as soon as possible. Then, he put the newly obtained magic potions and herbs into the box according to their categories.
Then, he went back to bed to sleep.
