Chapter 28: Chapter 25: Learning! The Limits of Magic!
The bookstore owner might be physically weak.
But it does not affect his professionalism when selecting books.
In fact, being able to take over a bookstore in Hogwarts Village is enough to prove that this owner may not have much business acun, but he certainly has a pure love for books and knowledge.
The three textbooks he selected for Ian are extrely suitable for beginners, from simple to not so simple, allowing beginners to quickly cross the learning threshold.
"Magic Rune Chart": This is a phonetic chart of Ancient Runes, containing the texts, anings, and standard and correct pronunciations of Ancient Runes.
"Ancient Magical Language Easy Introduction": As the na suggests, after learning how to read Ancient Runes, wanting to further understand the basic knowledge of Runes, reading this won’t go wrong.
"Advanced Magical Rune Translation": This should be the true compilation of knowledge involving the use of Ancient Magic Runes in Rune learning, enabling learners to truly understand how to interpret texts compiled in Runes.
...
Three textbooks in a progressive sequence.
Sufficient for Ian to gradually step into the threshold of studying Ancient Magic Runes.
Of course.
Even if there are reasonable learning steps, the learning threshold for knowledge like Ancient Magic Runes is certainly not low. Indeed, as the bookstore owner said, most people find it difficult to learn.
"Hiss! It’s really hard!"
Ian, holding the "Magic Rune Chart," sat reading in front of the window of the small wooden house.
Golden sunlight penetrated the thin gauze curtains.
It spread over every corner of the room, draping this quiet space in a golden veil, yet it failed to change Ian’s slightly gloomy mood.
He had been diligently studying for quite a while, but he still found it very hard to learn the simplest rune pronunciations, which also resulted in him never gaining a new skill on his personal panel.
How to put it.
It truly is difficult.
Actually, thinking about it, if Ancient Magic Runes weren’t so complicated and difficult to learn, how could they, being the dium for casting magic, have been so quickly replaced by modern wizards’ spells?
Indeed.
Ancient Magic Runes.
And now, spells like "Fluorescent Flickering" and "Forgetfulness Spell".
They are actually just dia for magic casting.
Wizards chose Ancient Magic Runes as the dium for magic and then transitioned to using the more common and understandable spells as the dium. This process must have gone through a "survival of the fittest".
Honestly, the upper limit of Ancient Magic Runes is actually much higher than that of spells, which is why many powerful wizards would co into contact with them during their growth.
However.
This upper limit of Ancient Magic Runes only opens to outstanding people, while for those diocre individuals, the lower limit Ancient Magic Runes offer is equally astonishingly low.
In ancient tis.
Many little wizards died due to the instability of magic.
Likewise.
Many wizards, just like Ian now, remained long stuck at the entrance stage, causing ti to slip away, and they might still find it difficult to cast a few decent spells at an old age.
In earlier periods.
Many witches and wizards could be put on a pyre by ordinary people, likely a result of the magic dium of that period, with Ancient Magic Runes still occupying a dominant position.
The ergence of spells.
Improved the learning difficulty for middle and lower-level wizards.
This was the most important reason why spells replaced Ancient Magic Runes.
After all.
They are the most nurous group among wizards. Comparing Ancient Magic Runes to modern spells is actually akin to the difference between automatic transmission cars and manual transmission cars.
"I hope the magic from Teacher Mara is a powerful one; otherwise, my suffering is in vain!" Ian’s tongue wasn’t particularly agile.
Yet, Runes belonged to the earliest batch, created from the characteristics of magic creatures and plants, naturally containing many syllables that are difficult for the human vocal cords to mimic.
This made Ian quite uncomfortable.
However.
He did not give up on learning.
And this made the heavens not let down those who are determined.

Ancient Magic Runes are hard to learn.
But fortunately, Ian’s talent may not be in the top tier, but it is certainly still notable, so he is not dood to spend a lifeti not learning a few Rune characters.
After a bout of focused research.
He gained so understanding.
And as Ian learned to pronounce the first Rune character, a new skill appeared on his personal panel, and the "Insight" feature of the panel began to take effect.
