Chapter 294 - Chapter 294: A Fully Functional Tower (Revised)

The tower's basement is the Magic Garden . This gardenresembles Professor Sprout's greenhouseon the surface.

This is the equivalent of a miniature ecosystem, allowing Allen to grow a variety of plants in different growing environments within the Tower . The magical signs and ancient, mysterious writings in this room ensure that the plants thrive even in the absence of sunlight.

The ground is covered with approximately 30 cm of fertile soil and contains some special geological formations; any plant that can grow in this type of environment can thrive here.

Of all the tower , the place that initially intrigued Allen the most was the Binding Room on the third floor.

The most striking feature upon entering this room is the pentagram pattern etched into the floor, made of mithril . After years of study and research, Allen only recently understood its function, and this has left him amazed by the power possessed by ancient wizards .

This is a Binding Chamber ; powerful ancient sorcerers could summon or control powerful otherworldly creatures here. The purpose of this chamber was to safely imprison dangerous species such as demons or devils. In ancient times, the Pentagram was seen as a symbol of the womb of the Otherworld . Any creature attempting to escape the Binding Chamber would have to destroy at least some of the Pentagram's lines .

One floor above the Binding Room is a dedicated Magic Training Room .

This room has been covered multiple times with the Expansion Spell , making it larger than the other floors.

Constructed from heavy stones, iron blocks, and other alloys, this structure serves as a suitable testing ground for a wizard to experiment with powerful, destructive spells .

This room can lock the destructive effects of all spells within its boundaries , even if the spells' area of ​​influence extends beyond the room's limits . This room is extremely useful for wizards who want to practice powerful destructive spells .

However, it's worth noting that this room doesn't offer any special protection for creatures within the space, nor is it immune to damage from outside; for example, if you cast a spell with a very wide range and accidentally affect yourself, you'll need to ask for Merlin's blessing... For Allen, while this Spell Training Room was powerful , it didn't provide a more effective combat simulation experience.

Allen placed a large amount of magic training equipment in this training room ; there was no need to worry about lacking supplies , even when practicing Dark Magic .

Allen made it easier for young wizards to practice magic by placing many velvet cushions in the room for basic spells , and even some magical puppets larger than the Immortal Master himself .

Without a doubt, he was thinking of his beloved little sister Emily while preparing these .

In fact, when Allen obtained the Enemy Glass , he was seized by the idea of ​​redesigning the Magic Training Room . However, after conducting research at Hogwarts , he abandoned the idea. Among the books collected by the Library and Ravenclaw , he couldn't find a better starting point or a more effective solution.

Allen's recent acquisition of illusion books has been very inspiring. After planning it countless times in his heart, he finally completed the preliminary renovation plan for the Magic Training Room .

The top floor of the tower is enough to impress even the most romantic girl.

The stars in the sky are spinning above the ceiling, and the blue and yellow nebulae surrounding these celestial bodies appear incredibly mysterious and brilliant.

The room is also equipped with a crystal ball , arithmancy cards , and various other divination tools .

The walls of the room are lined with Mithril wires in various mysterious patterns , designed to channel the tower's energy into this room and enhance the user's perception abilities .

Furthermore, since this room is specifically designed for divination spells , the Tower Master gains a significant advantage when using divination-type spells in this room .

It's worth noting that Allen had previously learned a detection spell in the library on the second floor . This ancient spell has somewhat high requirements for the wizard , but it's very miraculous and practical.

Originally used by ancient sorcerers , this method involved the use of additional spells . Through the materials and equipment used during the casting process , and the completion of a specific ritual, the effect of remotely sensing the movements of the targeted subject is achieved.

This is similar to the spell used during Lord Voldemort's resurrection , considered an ancient type of ritual magic ; however, it has essentially been lost and diminished in importance in modern times. When Lord Voldemort was resurrected, the father's bone, the servant's flesh, and the enemy's blood were boiled in a cauldron, and Lord Voldemort was resurrected through this ritual magic .

As for Allen's detection spell , the necessary materials aren't bad or excessive; they simply require the eyeballs of creatures like hawks, falcons, or rockbirds, plus some nitric acid, copper, and zinc as catalysts. These materials are then placed in a cauldron filled with holy water (Allen plans to use water from the Centaur Tribe's Star Lake ) and left to steep for a while. Afterward, the spell makes it possible to detect the object within a 3-meter radius.

It should be noted that the closer the targeted individual is to the sorcerer, or the more the sorcerer possesses intelligence about the person's portrait, belongings, or a part of their body, the higher the probability of the spell being successful .

On the other hand, the success rate is lower.

If the spell fails, the person cannot be detected again within twenty-four hours.

Of course, this ancient magic has high requirements. Allen, who has yet to learn much about Divination at Hogwarts , hasn't fully mastered this spell, and the knowledge within the Tower is a little too profound, but that doesn't stop his growing interest in research.

Additionally, the Dark Dynasty collection includes notes on dangerous Dark Spells , poisons, and even live sacrifices , along with tips for increasing the success rate of becoming an Animagus .

Even the methods and experiences of ancient sorcerers in summoning creatures from the other world to make deals or enslave them have been recorded.

The records also contain anecdotes interesting enough to serve as a warning for future generations.

Once upon a time, an unfortunate black man made a deal with a highly cunning devil.

The devil offered a very fair deal. Black Man , thinking the deal was more profitable, was complacent. In the end, he was swallowed by the devil, his bones, his remains, and everything else.

The reason was that the contract offered by the devil appeared very fair on the surface, but the patterns on the parchment , which was thought to be the background, were actually extremely cruel and harsh terms written by the devil in a special script.

There was also a greedy Black who died on the spot because of a mistake the devil made during a deal, a mistake stemming from a careless word he uttered .

He made a wish to the devil, hoping to receive a lot of galleons in return .

The devil kept his word and gave him a room filled with gold coins, but the coins rained down right above his head; his brain was shattered by galleons falling like a storm , and finally buried under the heavy gold coins... These lessons, learned in blood, were meticulously recorded by the Black Dynasty so that future generations would remain vigilant when dealing with such creatures .

This section of Black Magic constitutes a large portion of all the books.

To this end, Allen created a special room in the Library to house these Black Magic books and set conditions for opening the door: anyone wishing to enter or leave must use the Patronus Charm as an opening spell .

This ensures that those studying Dark Magic don't become completely consumed by evil magic and lose their Heart-Nature .
