As soon as he finished speaking, Dumbledore pointed his wand at the desk in front of him.
The originally four-cornered shape twisted and rolled in an instant, and in the blink of an eye it became a lifelike lion.
The little wizards in the classroom all exclaimed in surprise.
They were admiring how detailed the patterns on the lion statue were.
That's it?
Sypha raised her eyebrows and turned her gaze to Dumbledore.
He noticed the smile in Dumbledore's eyes.
Could it be that?
The chest of the lion in front of him began to rise and fall.
Xifa quickly blocked his ears with his hands. The two women around him noticed Xifa's strange behavior.
They imitated Western methods by accident.
The moment the two women blocked their ears.
It was as if a play switch had been pressed.
The lion on the podium suddenly opened his eyes and let out a deafening roar towards the audience.
Caught off guard, the little wizards all turned pale with fright at the lion's roar, and some even got up to hide. In the classroom, a commotion broke out.
Dumbledore saw that it was almost done and quickly waved his wand.
The male lion jumped into the air with bared teeth and turned into a harmless-looking black and white badger.
The roar of the lion disappeared.
The little wizards also gradually understood.
The little wizard who left his seat looked embarrassed and returned to his seat to sit down.
Just when everyone was pointing at this little badger and their eyes were shining.
Two pointed and long wings suddenly sprouted from the little badger's back.
The little badger transformed into a raven, flapped its wings and flew around the classroom.
Then the raven landed on Dumbledore's hand.
Folding its wings, it twisted and turned into a snake.
The snake circled around Dumbledore and crawled back to the ground.
They huddled together when they came to the place where the lecture table had been placed.
After a moment of distortion, the desk appeared intact.
Dumbledore's wonderful performance impressed all the little wizards.
Everyone applauded involuntarily, and Gryffindor even shouted loudly for their old senior.
Transformation of living creatures requires too much walking.
Shape deformation of the same material, material conversion, material conversion deformation, semi-biological deformation of the same material...
In short, the difficulty of Dumbledore's display is no less than the most advanced human transformation technique, Animagus.
As long as Dumbledore's spell remains, they are real creatures!
Dumbledore reached out and suppressed the applause.
Facing the little wizard's longing eyes.
He spoke seriously:
"Transfiguration is the most complex and demanding of all magics. In a sense, learning it is as dangerous as learning black magic!"
"Because there is a core issue in performing transfiguration. How to change the external structure of things without affecting their essence. This is a principle adhered to by generation after generation of transfiguration masters."
Without Dumbledore waving his wand, the thick curtains slowly fell, but the classroom was not completely dark.
Because the overhead chandelier also lit up the candlelight when the curtains fell.
In the dark classroom, Dumbledore turned around and tapped his wand on the blackboard behind him.
The blackboard lit up like the curtain of a multimedia projector in the previous life.
"As your first Transfiguration class, the first thing I want to teach you is not magic, nor the three principles of Transfiguration."
"I want to tell you that the most important quality in learning magic is caution! The most important attitude is humility! The most important behavior is to act within your ability!"
"Every time you cast a spell, you must ensure that it is controllable, and every spell must be carefully considered by yourself, otherwise your spell may cause extremely terrifying consequences."
As the words fell, the white 'curtain' revealed monsters with hideous faces.
Xifa's eyes widened slightly, not to mention the other little wizards.
There were loud gasps and muffled screams behind him.
Without looking back, Xifa knew how scared they were.
"In the history of the development of transfiguration, there are many wizards who have gone further than ordinary people on the road of transfiguration. The ancestors tried and summed it up again and again, regardless of their own safety, and now we have the basic principles in our transfiguration textbooks."
"The records of failure are mostly brushed aside, and no one cares about these losers."
"But! I don't want you to become one of the losers, so I want to tell you the history that is not recorded in the textbooks first."
"Let you know the consequences of blind arrogance and impulsive magic!"
"Now, I will show you the failure records that I have collected. I will summarize the main reason for their failure, which is that their magic experiments were not cautious enough!"
Then, Dumbledore introduced various pictures one by one and what happened to the wizards behind them.
Sphinx, harpy with human face, bull-headed body...
Dumbledore introduced in a calm and steady voice, and only his plain voice echoed throughout the classroom.
Everyone held their breath and listened carefully, immersed in the story of the ancestors who risked their lives for the truth of magic.
After speaking at this stage, Dumbledore did not speak to break the silence, but asked everyone to reflect and summarize.
Suddenly, a hand was raised to break the peaceful scene.
Dumbledore found out, but only after a while.
With a wave of his magic wand, sunlight filled the entire classroom again, and the dull and depressing atmosphere was swept away.
"Tom, do you have any questions?"
Tom put down his hand and stood up slowly. He greeted Dumbledore with an elegant gesture and said in a respectful tone:
"Professor, what does it mean to affect the outside without affecting the essence? Why doesn't the Transfiguration mean that if I let it change, it must change according to my wishes?"
Well, I also have such a confusion, Tom is a good person, help me detect mines.
Xifa sat there, feeling happy.
Dumbledore frowned slightly when he heard this.
Has Tom revealed his ambition? Didn't I teach him enough lessons?
But Dumbledore couldn't refuse to answer in public, not to mention that many freshmen would encounter this question.
"This is a very controversial issue. The development of transfiguration is a spiral of continuous confirmation and denial around this point. I believe that transfiguration is to use one's own heart and the love for all things in one's heart to feel them , echo them, so that your needs are transmitted to the object you want to transform. Use your magic to bring your ideas to their 'core'. Let it know what you want and how to do it, so as to complete it. Transform.”
"Among them, the most advanced type of transfiguration - human transfiguration Animagus. I am currently sorting out relevant materials. I can tell you that in order to complete this complex and great magic, love must be used as the anchor. Guard your heart and resist the bestial nature of the transformed animal when you first transform, so that you don't become an irrational beast."
Dumbledore's words were as direct as saying, Tom, you have to use love to influence them and tolerate them. You can't think about domination or oppression...
However, Dumbledore's teachings to his 'own son' were destined to be misleading.
Tom sneered in his heart, still love?
"Thank you, sir."
Tom's non-smiling answer also attracted many little witches to look at him secretly.
