Chapter 8

Balthazar and Veronica did the information transference ritual as it took Hadrian 5 months to sort through all the basic theoretical knowledge of sorcery and science it was also found out the fact that Harry was natural at occlumency.Also Harry looked more fit as Veronica provided him with potions to help him.

Balthazar takes a small book out of one of his pockets and shows it to Harry and said:" Oh, I didn't have a chance to give you this before Your Encantus."

Harry questioned," Isn't this supposed to be big."

Balthazar unfolds the book 6 times, increasing its dimension through each fold while remains thin much to Dave's surprise, and replied "Pocket edition also Harry The Encantus is our textbook; the art and science and history of sorcery. Including our recent history as well."

Harry whispered"Wicked"

Balthazar had a small smile as he removes his scarf and coat and said" Before we can put Horvath back inside the Grimhold, we must first turn you into a sorcerer, which begins now. Step back." Balthazar with a wave of a hand begins to telekinetically move things to make a clear space in the middle of the room.

The Merlinean began his work. He first slowly raises his hands, gathering a large amount of energy which causes the lamps in the lab to flicker a few times. Once enough amount of energy has been accumulated, he then seems about to place both of his palms against one another before throwing them violently upwards causing phosphorescent flames to erupt from the concrete floor around him, startling Harry in process. Balthazar continues by carving small circles and lines inside the larger circle as the amazed harry watches; each small circle bears an alchemical symbol. After he completed finishing touches on his work, we are introduced to the Merlineans' iconic magic circle; Merlin Circle.

Balthazar explained"This is the Merlin Circle. It focuses on your energy. Helps you master new spells. It is where you will learn the art of Sorcery. Step inside, you leave everything else behind. Once you enter, there is no going back."

Harry raised his hand as Veronica smiled and gestured Harry to ask as Harry in excitement asked"What is the difference between Sorcerer and Wizard?"

Veronica smiled and said"That is a very good question, Harry. Sorcery is a special branch of magic our Master Merlin created the Merlin Circle. There are 7 domains within the Merlin Circle:

Space-Time: Space-Time Domain is used to master spells for performing time manipulation, astral projection, and possibly more complex abilities such as teleportation and travel between dimensions. This Domain's Mana is green in color.

Motion: Motion Domain is used to master movement-related spells such as telekinesis, levitation of oneself or others, and enhancing conjured air blasts. This Domain's Mana is blue in color.

Matter: Matter Domain is used to master magical abilities over matter, which allow the sorcerer to manipulate energy such as electricity and plasma as well as forging objects from air molecules. This Domain's Mana is red in color.

Elements: Element Domain is used to master over four classical elements of nature like water, earth, fire, and air for various purposes. This Domain's Mana is yellow in color.

Transformation: Transformation Domain is used for mastering spells to alter both properties and appearance of oneself and/or desired target. Like in Matter Domain, spells that mastered in this domain worked by manipulating the desired target's matter structure, but in more complex scale as spells mastered in this Domain are meant for transmogrifying oneself and/or other instead of energy manipulation. Said spells include enchanting objects by giving them desired properties. This Domain's Mana is orange in color.

Mind: Mind Domain is used to master mental abilities-related spells such as telepathy, hypnosis, second sight, etc. except telekinesis and levitation. This Domain's Mana is pink in color.

Love/Forbidden Domain: Love Domain is arguably the only domain that represents two powers; emotion (love) and power over life and death."

Veronica stopped so that Harry understood all that as Harry nodded as he had the knowledge about this and she continued "While wizards are similar they have limitations as Rule of Creation: While it is possible to conjure things out of nothing and duplicate items, it is far more tricky to create something that fits an exact specification rather than a general one. Moreover, a magically imitated object will never be as "real" as the genuine one, with duplicated food being less fulfilling than the real thing. Rule Against Immortality and Rule of Resurrection all these can be bypassed by sorcery."

Harry asked, "So sorcery is a better version or form of using magic."Balthazar nodded as he said, "In a way both have their own good sides like wizarding magic has Potions which very useful and now Harry enter the Merlin Circle."

Balthazar waits, as Harry carefully steps into the circle, all while avoiding touching the flames until he reaches the center circle where Balthazar standing at. Balthazar introduces himself"I am Balthazar Blake, sorcerer of the 777th degree, and you are my apprentice."While Veronica add in"I am Veronica Gorloisen, Sorcerer of 775th degree"

Harry was awestruck and said" Sweet will I also learn wizarding magic."Veronica smiled and replied, "I will be you, teacher in learning wizarding magic."

Harry began learning the basics of sorcery with Balthazar with Dragon Ring equipped as Balthazar raises his ring as part of the lecture and said" Your ring is not a piece of jewelry. It projects the electrical energy of your nervous system into the physical world. Without his ring, a sorcerer is powerless. The only other thing a sorcerer needs is a nice pair of pointy shoes." Balthazar tosses a pair of simple yet fancy-looking pointy shoes to Harry and said" Your rubber soles block the current. Plus, it helps to look classy."

Harry wore it without questioning it as he was eager to learn sorcery.
