Textbooks with key points highlighted in advance—this is a huge benefit for younger students.
If you're lucky enough to find a secondhand book by a genius like "The Half-Blood Prince," becoming a top student in that subject is no problem.
The only thing to be careful about is not choosing secondhand books left behind by underachieving students, especially those with comic strip illustrations on them.
After buying the secondhand goods, Levin had five Galleons left, and all the supplies he needed were a crucible and a telescope.
These two items are relatively hard to find useful secondhand.
“How about we buy new ones? If it’s just the crucible and telescope, 5 Galleons should be enough,” McGonagall suggested.
“No, Professor McGonagall, I’d like to wait a bit longer.” Levin shook his head. “There are still almost two months until the start of the semester. Maybe I can find some good secondhand items and save some Galleons…”
If you buy a new one, 5 Galleons would be enough, but you'd definitely have to spend it all.
This doesn't align with Levin's consumption philosophy.
Based on his previous life's consumption habits, no matter how tight his finances were, he always had to keep some money on hand for emergencies.
It is said that Galon is not omnipotent, but one cannot do without Galon.
After thinking for a while, Professor McGonagall finally agreed with his approach and gave him the remaining student loan.
Based on this short period of observation, Professor McGonagall felt that Levin was indeed a very independent little wizard who was fully capable of managing himself.
After Apparating Levin back to the orphanage once more, she left.
But Levin did not stay in the orphanage as she had hoped.
He plans to stay in Diagon Alley to work and earn money.
He had already realized that if he wanted to become stronger quickly, in addition to studying diligently, he also needed extraordinary comprehension.
To gain some understanding, besides diligently studying, the best way is to observe and experience magic.
Now he is just an ordinary Hogwarts freshman. If he wants to observe and experience magic more, the best way is to stay in the magical world and participate in its production and life.
The most direct way is to get a job!
Working people, working souls, working wizards are all superior people!
So, as soon as he returned to the orphanage, Levin began to flatter the director: "...Because of my special circumstances, the school even introduced me to a work-study job before the start of the semester. Not only do I earn money, but it also includes meals..."
The headmistress was already under Professor McGonagall's Confusion Charm, and with Levin's Charm Aura, she easily believed what he said.
Levin stayed in his room that night, preparing to spend his last night in the orphanage.
First, you need to think about your luggage.
Actually, besides some clothes, there wasn't much else to bring.
However, you can buy more related stationery in the Muggle world.
For example, ink. In the Harry Potter world, there's no need to copy magic scrolls, so there's no need for any special ink.
Bring extra paper, too. At Hogwarts, you only need parchment for homework.
If you're using it yourself, you should choose regular paper that's good quality and inexpensive.
And fountain pens, since he had never used a quill pen before.
With limited funds, he naturally had to be frugal, buying whichever was cheaper.
If it weren't for the fact that school uniforms couldn't be made by Muggle tailors, he would have liked to have robes made by Muggles.
After all this is done, there's still plenty of time.
"I remember the rule that young wizards couldn't use magic outside of school started during the first term break. Before that, wands could be used privately, I think. For example, Hermione practiced spells at home, which means that the so-called 'tethers' were added after school started."
Since that's the case, then I'll have to roll myself up too.
We can't let Hermione steal the spotlight!
So Levin opened "Standard Spells: Elementary" at his desk.
"A spell, or charm, is a controlled form of magic, usually performed by reciting incantations to influence the world in a supernatural way."
"Generally speaking, there are four main conditions for the successful casting of a spell: wand gesture, spell, concentration, and intention."
"Spells are generally divided into several categories: transfiguration spells, enchantments, breaking spells, and healing spells. Enchantments are further divided into ordinary spells, evil spells, poison spells, and curses based on their level of malice. It is important to note that the boundaries between these categories are flexible and blurred. Therefore, a particular spell can belong to multiple categories at the same time."
"A spell is a magic incantation that adds a specific attribute to an object or creature. A spell differs from a transfiguration spell in that a spell adds a specific attribute to an object or creature, while a transfiguration spell transforms it into something completely different."
"For example, the Color Change Charm changes the color of an object; the Levitate Charm makes an object float; and the Happiness Charm improves a creature's mood."
……
[You have read "Standard Spells - Beginner's Guide" and gained an understanding of the magic system of this world. Inspiration from all realms has made you realize that the magic system of this world still has its flaws.]
You have grasped the arcane magic system, and you have begun to attempt to categorize spells using arcane magic methods.
You have grasped the attribute template in a way that you can understand, and used it to judge your own and others' attributes.

As expected of someone with extraordinary comprehension, they managed to create the arcane magic system and attribute panel just by looking at the outline.
Unlike the Harry Potter magic system, which has a rough classification and a crude system, the arcane magic system is much more rigorous.
From a horizontal perspective, arcane magic is divided into eight schools:
The [Protection] class specializes in defense and resistance;
[Spellcasting] involves summoning, teleportation, and creation;
The "Prophecy System" reveals information and predicts the future;
The "Confusion and Control System" – which alters the minds of others and manipulates their behavior;
The [Evocation] class, which shapes magical energy;
Illusionism is a technique that deceives the senses and minds of others.
The Necromancers, who control life and death;
A change system that alters the nature of an object;
In terms of difficulty, arcane magic divides spells into levels 0 to 9, from low to high, as well as legendary spells above level 9.
In addition to this, arcane magic also has a "meta-magic system" that enhances the various effects of a single spell by increasing the difficulty of casting it.
It can be said that the entire system is quite complete.
Although I don’t know.
What Levin has grasped so far is only a framework, a preliminary form.
But he believed that as time went on, and as his research into magic deepened and his understanding became more profound, he would be able to completely integrate the spells of the Harry Potter world with this system, while also bringing many unique arcane magic systems to this world.
At that time, the entire magical world will be completely transformed!
After closing his eyes and contemplating the new system, Levin continued flipping through "Standard Spells: Elementary" and entered the learning phase of specific spells.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If you want to change the magic system of this world, start with each and every spell.
Chapter 6 The First Creation of Spells
The first spell recorded in the textbook is the Wand Illumination Charm!
As the simplest type of light-emitting charm, the Wand Illumination Charm makes the wand's tip glow, allowing one to see clearly in the dark. Concentration is required when using this charm; otherwise, the wand may ignite, causing irreversible damage.
[You have learned the Illumination Charm, you are proficient in arcane magic, you have grasped the core concepts of the Illumination Charm, and you have upgraded it.]
Your Light-Illuminating Spell has been upgraded to the Light-Dancing Spell.
【Light Dance Charm: You can ignite a small light at the tip of your wand, illuminating a range of up to 30 meters. You can manipulate this light to emit a pure white glow within a certain range, flickering erratically.】
“Not bad, the casting difficulty is almost identical to the original, and the cost is about the same. Upgrading doesn’t affect the spell’s ring number.” Levin took out a notebook and started taking notes.
"It looks much brighter than in the movies and can completely replace incandescent bulbs."
With a thought, he slightly adjusted his magic output, and the light instantly dimmed, changing from an incandescent bulb to a flashlight, and then from a flashlight to a firefly.
This has that movie vibe.
But this is not enough.
"Next, let's test the new ability."
As his thoughts shifted, the light actually detached from the staff and began to rotate around Levin, like a complex pattern that first formed a simple 0, then an 8, and finally even traced Levin's signature.
"It's easy to operate, and you can even easily set it to automatic surround mode."
He thought for a moment, then slightly dimmed the brightness of the small light sphere, opened the window, and manipulated the light sphere to reveal the anomaly on the second floor of the orphanage.
Even if someone accidentally sees it, because Levin has dimmed the light sphere so much, they will most likely mistake it for a firefly.
"Then fly, let me see how far you can fly."
Levin stood at the window, watching the ball of light drift further and further away.
