Aditya discovered the system's limits the morning after the Sorting .He woke early in the Gryffindor dormitory, the castle still quiet, and instinctively reached inward—mentally assigning new tasks the way he had grown accustomed to doing. The system responded instantly.
[Active Training Slots: 2 / 2 — FULL]
[Passive Training Slots: 2 / 2 — FULL]
Aditya frowned. Until now, he had never truly tested the boundaries. At home, two active and two passive slots had been enough. Hogwarts, however, changed the equation. There was simply too much to learn. He attempted to assign another passive task.
[Assignment Failed]
Reason: Slot Capacity Reached
No strain. No backlash .Just a firm refusal .Aditya sat up, eyes sharp. This was important. The system was not infinite. Over breakfast, he quietly observed his current assignments
:Active Slots (Require Conscious Effort):
Foundational Spellcasting Precision — 48%
Charms Theory Application — 21%
Passive Slots (Continuous, Low-Intensity Growth):
Magical Core Stabilization — 46%
Environmental Magic Adaptation — 33%
Passive slots improved slowly, feeding on repetition, ambient magic, and habitual behavior. Active slots progressed faster—but demanded focus. Dropping concentration halted progress immediately.Balanced.Fair.Then, as if responding to his line of thought, new text surfaced.
[System Clarification Unlocked]
The information didn't arrive as a wall of text, but as understanding—structured, precise.The system functioned on capacity, not generosity.Slots represented mental bandwidth, magical strain tolerance, and conceptual load. Exceeding that limit would destabilize growth. Therefore, expansion required proof—not desire.Slots could only be increased through:
Achievements (measurable breakthroughs)
Missions (high-effort, high-risk objectives)
Milestones (age, environment, or mastery thresholds)
No shortcuts.No stacking endlessly.Aditya felt a flicker of excitement.That meant everyone else wasn't being left infinitely behind.Just… steadily.Later that day, during Charms, Professor Flitwick demonstrated Levioso Variants. Aditya followed closely, assigning nothing new—just observing. The system quietly tracked comprehension without occupying a slot, noting potential future assignments.That evening, while practicing in the common room, something shifted.His Foundational Spellcasting Precision task ticked upward sharply, crossing a threshold.
Progress: 50%
The system chimed—soft, deliberate.
[Achievement Unlocked]Spellcasting Consistency Milestone (Beginner)Reward: Passive Slot Capacity +1
Aditya exhaled slowly.Not instant gratification.Earned progression.He did not rush to fill the new slot. Instead, he evaluated—then assigned carefully.
[Passive Slot Assigned]Subconscious Wand Alignment
The system accepted it.That night, before sleep claimed him, one final update appeared.
[Next Slot Expansion Condition Identified]Complete a Mission or Reach an Intermediate Mastery Threshold
Aditya smiled faintly in the dark.This wasn't a cheat that handed him power.It was a framework that demanded discipline, patience, and courage.And Hogwarts had more than enough missions waiting for him.
