Mental power is a frequent topic in books about self-exploration and metaphysics, possessing extremely high versatility.
Dumbledore's idea was to concretely quantify the abstract concept of mental power.
His idea wasn't actually wrong; this path complemented Dumbledore's magical system and would be easy to popularize.
...In human cognition, mental power is not an unfamiliar concept; ninety percent of people can understand and accept it.
And it's a "golden partnership" with magic.
With mental power as the foundation, magic will usher in a major development.
Why some humans can become wizards might also be found through research into mental power.
With Dumbledore's wisdom, there was naturally a reason for him choosing this path.
Although Dumbledore wasn't old by the standards of the world's top wizards, his mindset was too aged.
He preferred things that were balanced and peaceful.
But Roger believed there was a problem here.
Potential and breadth of development.
Mental power is a force closer to the self-dimension; improving it is exceedingly difficult.
With the slightest carelessness, the shackles that once bound wizarding civilization could descend again.
Furthermore, according to Dumbledore's design, the application and development of mental power relied too heavily on magic power.
Roger's original purpose in creating the Three-Dimensional Law was as an "auxiliary climbing tool" for the path to Eternal Life.
His core requirement wasn't for wizarding civilization to develop in a less risky way, but for wizarding civilization to become his own cultivation assistant.
The path of mental power was stable, but it couldn't satisfy Roger's needs.
So his choice was...
"To use virtual reality technology as my medium dimension, and infuse it into the wand," Roger demonstrated the general process to Ollivander using Transfiguration and other magic.
In Eastern metaphysics, there's a concept: "Heaven, Earth, and Man are one great body; the human body is a small heaven and earth."
This concept gave rise to many ideas in medicine, divination, and martial arts.
Roger's Second Magic incorporated some of these elements.
However, unlike using the human body as a base to cultivate the true from the illusory.
Roger adopted a method of merging with people through a "virtual world" as his Second Magic.
There's no rule stating that the Second Magic must be a "power." Calculating by self-dimension, medium dimension, and external dimension.
As long as it's a "medium" that allows the self to interfere with the external world, it's sufficient.
If we were to use a metaphor more easily understood by Eastern civilization.
Roger was essentially creating a "Dantian" for all practitioners of the Three-Dimensional Law.
People could absorb countless external powers into their "Dantian" and develop in different directions according to their own characteristics and talents.
According to Roger's plan, even ordinary people without innovative abilities could achieve better development by loading "excellent templates."
If Roger's Second Magic were developed to its extreme, its ultimate form should be the absorption of power from the vast external world to perfect one's own virtual small world.
Finally, turning the illusory into reality, and then, reversing the universe!
When the false is treated as true, the true also becomes false; when the true is treated as false, the false also becomes true! Everyone wields the power of a world, truly possessing infinite possibilities! Perhaps each person's development will differ; some worlds will be very illusory, only providing little assistance to the cultivator, not even as powerful as a blast of lightning.
But in terms of "status," they are no longer on the same level as ordinary carbon-based life forms.
"You want to use this power to make wands?!" Ollivander was completely stunned after roughly understanding Roger's description.
"If this truly succeeds, what kind of wand would this even be? It would simply be a... world in the shape of a wand!"
"Why not?" Roger said with a smile.
The "Dantian Method," which directly merges with people, is just one mode; the "External Elixir Method" might not be impossible.
Besides, there's no rule stating that a person can only be bound to one.
We can take it slow.
Besides having slightly higher development potential and breadth, Roger's developed [Second Magic: Illusory True Realm] has two other crucial functions for Roger.
One is "simulation." Roger has always considered the realms beyond the starry sky and outside the universe as his hypothetical enemies.
But he can't really predict what kind of power they possess.
However, with the promotion of this Second Magic, things will be different.
With over 7 billion Illusory True Realms, each developing in its own way, through violent trial and error, there will always be some possibilities that can provide him with inspiration.
Allowing him to become stronger or to compensate for his weaknesses.
Another benefit is related to Roger's initial concept for the Three-Dimensional Law.
When Roger first created the Three-Dimensional Law, he had an idea.
That is, "All extraordinary powers in the world total eight dou; I alone possess one dou, and everyone else in the world owes me two dou."
He wanted to use his status as the founder of the Three-Dimensional Law to collect a 'cultivation tax' from a conceptual level, borrowing the power of all beings to help himself advance.
He only took one ten-thousandth, but the accumulated amount was still considerable.
However, Roger had no idea how to achieve this until now.
Until the idea of the 'Illusory True Realm' emerged, giving Roger a plan.
As long as everyone's Second Magic source originated from him, he would naturally have plenty of ways to intervene!
Developing potential, predicting enemy forces, self-improvement, absorbing power and wisdom – Roger considered this version of Second Magic to be complete.
He just needed to solve the most critical problem: how to lower the barrier to entry for cultivation.
...Looking at the results after he sent the Virtual Reality Creation Mode plugin to the seventh-year interns he recruited from Hogwarts for them to study, there hadn't been much progress so far.
It wasn't easy for ordinary people to directly become 'creators.'
The vast amount of related knowledge alone could be a major hurdle for many! But Roger wasn't without a solution.
To break through this challenge, Roger believed he might find the answer in his new professor, Nicolas Flamel.
Ollivander pondered for a moment, then posed a sharp question: "Your method is indeed powerful."
"But using a 'world' as a wand core, as a bridge between you and magic power, is not an easy task."
"Firstly, my abilities are insufficient to complete the 'wand core creation' step. How to imbue this 'illusory world' with the same magical properties as your wand is also a challenge."
"So..."
"I'll figure out the magic properties; the adaptability of the Illusory True Realm is stronger than you imagine. As for the wand core creation, that's precisely what I wanted to ask you about," Roger said with a smile.
The reason Roger's Second Magic was based on Virtual Reality to turn the virtual into reality.
Instead of directly tackling it from the perspective of the 'human body as a small universe.'
The reason was the adaptability of Virtual Reality.
The human body's connection to life was too intimate; it couldn't withstand much tampering and could easily result in irreparable damage.
At least, that was the case for ordinary people cultivating Second Magic.
But Virtual Reality was different; it was closer to 'external objects.' It could be messed with freely. Even if it broke, one could simply get a new one.
As long as it didn't collapse too severely, preventing any reaction, it wouldn't endanger life.
Nor would it lead to an irreversible situation due to a wrong choice made in the early stages.
Roger's system had a very low cost for starting over. The only losses would be time and effort, not even much in terms of resources, and certainly not life.
The old world that was 'ruined' could serve as nourishment for the new world.
Therefore, the biggest issue for Roger in creating a new wand was the time cost, and learning wand-making knowledge from Ollivander would significantly reduce the time required.
"Regarding wand making, much of it falls outside my knowledge base, so I would appreciate your guidance." As an amateur in wand making, Roger didn't hesitate to ask Ollivander for advice.
His own skills, combined with Ollivander's knowledge, would allow his old wand to undergo a more complete transformation.
Ollivander had no intention of holding back. Now that he had received much valuable knowledge from Roger...
He was even more determined to reveal his family's heritage, even the theoretical secrets passed down through generations! Knowledge had value, but when even greater value appeared before him...
"Come, let us usher in a new era," Ollivander said, full of anticipation, as he began their joint research with Roger.
And at this moment.
Standing nearby, watching the old and young man ignite with passion, Hermione narrowed her eyes.
...Did you forget I'm still here?
What about me? What should I do?
