Along with the whispers in Charle's mind, Deep Blue's mechanical prompt sounded again.
"The initial deduction of the Banishing Charm requires five thousand deduction points. Are you sure you want to deduce?"
"Please confirm the deduction direction, Host."
Charle's cheek twitched when he heard the cost of deducing the Banishing Charm.
The surplus of one hundred thousand points he had instantly vanished.
The level of the Banishing Charm seemed to be much higher than the Lumos spell. The cost of the initial deduction alone was five times that of the Lumos spell!
And each subsequent deduction would only consume more points.
His one hundred thousand points would likely be gone in the blink of an eye!
However, after a moment of hesitation, Charle decisively confirmed that he would continue the deduction.
Deduction points kept in hand wouldn't reproduce, nor would they earn interest like money in a bank.
It was better to convert them into his own strength, allowing him to be qualified to obtain more points.
Otherwise, if he encountered an opportunity to obtain items like the Philosopher's Stone but missed it due to insufficient strength, he would probably regret it so much his intestines turned green!
As for the direction in which the Banishing Charm should be deduced this time, Charle thought for a moment and then decided.
Currently, he already had a series of offensive spells deduced from the Lumos spell.
The power of the Laser Spell could be said to cut through iron like mud.
The Eternal Blazing Sun Spell was even more unnecessary to mention; it could almost be called a forbidden curse. Once released, it didn't distinguish between friend and foe, and everything within its range would be burned to ashes.
But both of these offensive spells had a problem: they were difficult to hit enemies with.
From the moment the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell was cast until its power erupted, there was a full three to five seconds.
If the enemy escaped during this gap, the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell could only be said to be a large firework.
The Laser Spell was faster than the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, but it needed to maintain its power within a certain distance. The farther away, the lower the power of the Laser Spell.
But once it reached medium to close range, while the Laser Spell could cut down the enemy, the enemy's spells could also hit Charle.
So in actual combat, Charle felt that he needed a spell that could cause a range control effect on enemies without needing to aim.
This way, whether it was the Laser Spell or the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, the hit rate would be greatly increased, and his own risk would be greatly reduced.
"Deduce it in the direction of restraining and weakening enemies."
As Charle stated this decision in his mind, the Deep Blue system also began to burn deduction points.
The familiar feeling surged into his mind again.
It was the feeling of a continuous stream of knowledge and experience insights pouring into his mind.
It was as if in countless parallel worlds, countless Charle were diligently researching the Banishing Charm.
In just a moment, the lowest threshold of skillfully casting the Banishing Charm had become Charle's instinct.
Immediately afterward, under the system's effect, everything about the Banishing Charm was being dissected and deduced in the direction specified by Charle.
First was the issue of the Banishing Charm's target.
The targets of the Banishing Charm were dark creatures and dark wizards.
According to Dumbledore, this spell was aimed at the evil magic of these two types of enemies.
Is there a distinction between evil and righteous magic?
Of course there is. Mental state significantly affects magic and spell casting, and magic naturally carries the mental characteristics of each person.
Dark wizards who frequently use unforgivable curses like the Killing Curse and the Cruciatus Curse have magic that emits a chilling aura.
On the other hand, the magic of the Patronus Charm cast in a happy state of mind makes people feel warm and safe.
The Banishing Charm is specifically designed to create a field targeting magic with dark magic characteristics.
In this field, dark creatures with dark magic will feel uncomfortable and will actively stay away.
As for dark wizards, the effect will be much less. They may not stay away, but their strength will be weakened to a certain extent.
But are dark wizards necessarily evil, and white wizards necessarily good?
In a battle, whether it's a Killing Curse cast by a dark wizard or a Killing Curse cast by a white wizard, either one is enough to be fatal.
Therefore, the first step in the deduction of the Banishing Charm is to expand its scope of action.
It should not only act on dark wizards and dark creatures, but on any object Charle wants it to act on.
"Who is evil should be defined by me!"
"Those who stand opposite me and are my enemies are evil and shall be punished by the Banishing Charm!"
Soon, the Deep Blue system gave a cold, mechanical prompt.
"Initial deduction of the Banishing Charm is complete. The Host has obtained the Complete Banishing Charm."
"After casting the Complete Banishing Charm, all magical creations covered by the invisible field can be designated for banishment by the Host."
"The more objects designated for banishment, the weaker the banishment effect. The fewer and more concentrated the objects designated for banishment, the stronger the banishment effect."
"The banished target will feel weak, nauseous, and fearful."
"If the target is too powerful to be banished, the banishing effect can still reduce a portion of their magic."
"..."
Seeing Deep Blue's description of the Complete Banishing Charm, Charle felt a surge of joy.
A control spell with an area effect, while not a so-called "hard control," was enough to achieve miraculous results in a fight against wizards.
One must know that wizards need to concentrate when casting spells.
Even spells they have mastered can easily fail or go out of control if they are in a state of panic or fear.
For example, when Harry Potter faced Dementors in the original story, even though he had mastered the Patronus Charm through practice, he was unable to cast it multiple times due to fear and despair.
Charle's Complete Banishing Charm, on the other hand, could target the wizards within its range, making them feel panicked and fearful.
If a wizard was targeted by the Complete Banishing Charm for the first time, those with weak wills would likely have their spellcasting interrupted.
And such a gap would be enough to significantly increase the hit rate of the Laser Spell or the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell!
However, for wizards with strong wills, those who have been through many battles, the Complete Banishing Charm would likely still struggle to interrupt their spellcasting.
This made Charle frown slightly.
So, a moment later, he spoke in his mind again.
"Deep Blue, second deduction."
The next moment, Deep Blue's prompt sounded.
"Consuming fifty thousand points, second deduction of the Banishing Charm."
Boom!
Charle's mind felt a slight dizziness.
In Deep Blue's deduction, he seemed to see the essence of the Banishing Charm's so-called banishing and weakening effects.
Its essence was to weaken the magic of the designated target.
Fear, panic, and so on were all reactions to the reduction of magic.
So, was there a possibility of not weakening magic, but eliminating it?
Area anti-magic?
Without magic, even for just a second, even a battle-hardened wizard wouldn't be able to cast any spell.
Not even Apparition!
If it were an ordinary wizard, it might take a lifetime to deduce the Banishing Charm to this extent.
Talent, perseverance, time, and inspiration were all indispensable.
But Charle had Deep Blue. As long as there were enough points, a person's lifetime was but an instant in Deep Blue.
Under countless deduction points, miracles could be created!
After the dizziness ended, Deep Blue's prompt sounded in Charle's mind.
"Host has obtained the area spell - Dust-Free Land!"
