Magic Lesson 2: Dark Energy
"Spell of physical expansion of the mind?"
Wednesday raises an eyebrow and the professor smiles back at her.
"Or better known as a detection spell. You see there is no magic that can find hidden elements, magic is sentient, but not sentient at the human level and therefore does not know what is hidden or what is not."
"But our minds can!"
Mark smiles at Enid, glad to have an extra student and especially so enthusiastic.
"Exactly, this spell is more complicated than you think, after all, its purpose is to make the mind expand so that it acts as a scanner of the surrounding environment, if your mind knows more or less what to look for, the spell will make everything in the surrounding environment that is touched by the spell and that your mind identifies as hidden appear as if it were a brilliant illumination."
Wednesday smiles, all the time spent studying traps and secret passages will come back much more than he thought.
"Well let's start with the explanation. First you have to learn how to sense energy, as I told you the power of dark or neutral magic comes from you, not like elemental magic which is in the atmosphere instead, a good method to increase control would be to use the mental expansion spell first on your body looking for dark energy."
Wednesday looks at him crookedly.
"So to learn how to use dark magic, I have to use a dark magic spell?"
"I never said it was easy, now usually there are three possible control centers, they act like a heart, energy flows through the body like blood so there is one point that pumps it and regenerates it and can be the brain, the heart and the muscles."
"The heart is a muscle..."
The professor casts a dirty look at the young man.
"The heart represents control through feelings, the brain through logic, the muscular system through physical exertion. From a control point of view the brain one is the point that helps from the most, the heart gives more power, the muscles provide faster regeneration and a larger supply of magical power. So let's figure out which of these points makes your magic work."
Mark closes his eyes and focuses on his muscles, his point of control, after all his obsession with fitness and the gym are quite obvious. Both Wednesday and Enid become fascinated, all the veins in the circulatory system begin to glow red, there are a total of 5 points from which the light expands, biceps, abdomen and calves.
"Mind Expansion Spell"
The light that previously pervaded her entire body begins to gather in her head until it explodes into a spherical pulse of red mist. It does not widen more than enough to envelop the two girls.
"I made it visible and slowed down its execution to give you an idea of how it works, now let's talk about your rather your exceptional and unique case."
Both of them look at each other, when it comes to the two of them by now it is understood that nothing is ever normal.
"I had never seen anyone with all three control points, muscle, brain and heart, now we just have to figure out which one of these three to start using, it will take a huge level of experience and training to be able to use them all together, so now let's focus on one. In your case you are more prone to logic and concentration, so it would be better to start with the brain."
Enid steps forward; she is aware that Mark has examined them both with his control and is curious about what he has understood.
"Enid..... It has never been seen in history, never even hypothesized that a werewolf could use dark magic. I'm glad to have one more student."
Wednesday opened her mouth wide and Enid with her, both of whom had been reading up on it, after all, as the Hufflepuff Potterhead that she is, Enid had always wanted to learn magic but both Morticia and Grandma Addams had more than made it clear to her that she would never, in the slightest, practice magic.
"As a rule, the wolf curse makes it impossible for the body to convey magic or develop it, in case we are talking about dark magic."
Wednesday looks at her companion, she is fascinated, Enid is even more unique, not that this is necessary for her to love her, but if before the young Addams could be called possessive of the wolf girl, now it can be said that she is ready to unleash the fires of hell for her.
"Now, however, let's cut to the chase, you'll both have to try, Enid your control point is obviously the heart, so you have to focus on your feelings, while you Wednesday as I said before have to analyze the procedure of the spell and create a logical mechanism by which to accomplish it. At that point once you can gather the energy in the mind, you will have to give it a purpose, there is no exact way by which to explain it or do it, you will have to convey your intentions to the magic. You can begin."
Both girls closed their eyes, of course the hardest part is finding the dark energy, to Wednesday it comes easier as she is already used to sensing elemental energy, to Enid on the other hand it comes complicated, she tries to use her senses, she listens to her own heartbeat, the sound of her blood flowing, then remembers that her magic spot harnesses feelings, so she starts to think about Wednesday, their dates, their hugs, their kisses. She finally begins to feel something, it's like a tingling sensation mixed with a numbing sensation, it flows throughout her body, and as Wednesday takes her time to understand the energy she senses and slowly builds it up in her mind making sure to imprint her purpose in it. Enid acts in a hurry, just thinking about letting the energy flow without thinking about what she is actually doing, then a twinge in her head and the accumulated energy explodes. Professor Silivieri knew this was going to happen, he doesn't want to be mean but he knew Enid wouldn't be able to handle the energy, so when he was sure that both girls were too caught up in sensing the energy, Mark creates barriers around all three, which come in extremely handy when Enid's energy explodes, Wednesday senses it and opens her eyes just in time to see a huge blue-colored pulse expand from Enid, and while some of it bounces off the barriers, the rest overwhelms the cages, the straw inside them crushes against the walls, the bars shake and even the walls vibrate.
Enid staggers but manages to stay on her feet.
"Oh mom, it sounds like....."
Wednesday manages to catch her in his arms before Enid finally loses her balance and falls to the ground. Professor Silivieri laughs it off; it happened to him the first time, too.
"Yes, accumulating energy without giving it a purpose triggers violent outbursts and then you have the symptoms of a severe hangover."
Wednesday electrocutes him.
"Couldn't you have told us earlier?"
Mark is still smiling, the Addams's murderous looks are too funny for him.
"Where would be the fun in that? Come on, Enid will be fine in a few hours, now let's get to work on your spell."
