The first week of November flies by.
The first Transfiguration class in the second week of November.
Professor McGonagall was explaining the principles of cross-species transformation on the podium.
The difficulty of Transfiguration in the fourth year has improved a lot compared to the previous three years. Even Daphne and Hermione began to find it difficult.
What? You mean Xie Lin? It doesn't count if he uses cheats!
In Schelling's view, the Transfiguration courses from Grade 1 to Grade 3 are really just laying a solid foundation for young wizards.
I spent the first two years learning material transformation and reverse transformation (that is, restoring things to their original state), such as turning matches into needles, mice into snuff boxes, beetles into buttons, rabbits into slippers, and how to restore them to their original state. Spell.
In fact, as long as you have a solid grasp of the theory and do a good job in the details of visualization, all that remains is the confidence and determination to move forward. As long as these three points are done well, it won't be difficult. After all, the purpose of this part of the course is to familiarize the little wizards with the basic needs and processes of transformation.
Although they sound simple, many little wizards without patience and perseverance have failed at this level, such as Neville and Ron.
In the third grade, the Transfiguration class only added some superficial use of animation to the transformation of matter. Take "teapot turning into a turtle" as an example. The turtle must show some signs of life, such as crawling and moving and retracting into the turtle shell.
It should be noted that one of the exceptions to Gamp's basic law of transformation is that magic cannot create souls.
Therefore, those pseudo-life forms that have been cast with activation spells can run and jump, and respond correctly to surrounding stimuli, making people think that they have souls, but in fact these are just illusions.
The real situation is - this is just a behavioral pattern preset by the wizard through magic.
The more skilled the transformation master is, the more complex behavioral patterns he can preset during spell casting.
For example, Professor McGonagall's giant chessboard can carry the chess skills and strategic abilities of the caster; for example, the armor, character statues, and monster statues left by the four founders of Hogwarts in the castle are even better, and they own some of them. Not only does he know various fighting techniques and use weapons to fight, but he also knows how to independently rely on strategy to defend the castle and conduct group operations, just like an iron-blooded army that is not afraid of death.
In comparison, Voldemort's ability to use the activation spell seems too crude. He focuses too much on the power of magic, so although thousands of corpses can be refined into aggressive inferi, these inferi In addition to their large numbers, great strength, and high defense, they did not have any thinking ability and could only rely on instinct to attack. As a result, Dumbledore scared them away with a fire.
Of course, Schelling would not underestimate the boss in the original work because of this. After all, Voldemort's true strength is based on black magic and combat magic. It is already terrifying to have such a level of transformation.
Starting from the 4th grade course, the content of the Transfiguration course has gradually become more difficult, which involves the use of some switching spells, which is to exchange two items into the appearance of the other at the same time.
Let's see, it's been two months since school started, and Professor McGonagall is still stuck in the content of the first lesson. Goyle, Crabbe, and Justin from Hufflepuff, these three people are still talking about their own from time to time. The ear was grafted onto a cactus, causing Professor McGonagall to scream angrily. Of course, the three of them are not alone. I heard that in another class, Neville and Ron from Gryffindor and Michael from Ravenclaw were in a similar situation.
Daphne and Draco, who performed better, could exchange cactus and rose flowers with each other, but they could not do it with ease and smoothness.
As for Schelling? In front of everyone, he gently nodded the wizard hat on his head and exchanged it with the witch hat on Professor McGonagall's head. Not only did this not make Professor McGonagall angry, he even cheered Slytherin. Ten points.
Professor McGonagall is quite worried about the learning progress of this class of students. After all, there are many transformation spells to learn this year, and this part is really just the basic transformation spells.
There are many more difficult parts waiting for these little wizards, and the most difficult one is definitely the cross-species switches.
Take "guinea fowl transforming into guinea pig" as an example. This involves two species with completely different physiological structures and life habits. Therefore, the practitioner cannot simply rely on visual appearance to succeed, but must also have an understanding of the internal structure of the species itself. In-depth understanding and memory. For example, in the case of the guinea fowl changing into a guinea pig, you must imagine which bone of the guinea fowl corresponds to which bone of the guinea pig for conversion, and then other parts must also correspond one to one.
If this step is not done well, and the skeleton, joints, and organs do not undergo complete corresponding changes, it can easily result in guinea pig hind legs that are not conducive to running (like chicken feet without joints), or a guinea pig mandible that is not conducive to biting, or even remain intact. A deformed guinea pig with a winged skeleton. The above steps are not complete yet. Finally, you need to remove the bird habits of guinea fowl in your mind and outline the various living habits of guinea pigs. Otherwise, it is easy to develop strange behaviors such as constantly trying to fly or pecking at insects. Guinea pig.
But for Schelling, he had already mastered all Owl-level transfiguration skills through self-study from the "Professor McGonagall's Notes on Transfiguration" he obtained in the first grade. Even the vanishing spell (vanishment), which is only required in fifth grade, Schelling can skillfully cast.
To put it bluntly, it is more than enough for Xie Lin to take the owl exam now. Xie Lin's eyes have long been on newt-level transformation techniques - conjuration and ****. Among them, **** is the magic that Xie Lin covets the most.
Let’s talk about the illusion spell first.
As mentioned before, the transfiguration spell is a magic that creates something out of nothing through magic power. For example, "Flock of Birds" and "Oolong Out of the Hole" are the two easiest to cast among the transfiguration spells, and the effects are also the most stable.
To be honest, most wizards use transformation spells just to make life more convenient, just like the three Peverell brothers in "The Tales of Beedle the Bard" who transformed a bridge when they encountered a river. , saving some distance; Quirrell transformed a rope and tied Harry up; Professor Flitwick transformed into many golden bubbles when making Christmas decorations; when searching Blake, Dumbledore transformed into several golden bubbles in the hall. Hundreds of purple sleeping bags…
How about it? Does the transmogrification spell seem useless?
But the fact is that the upper limit of the transfiguration spell is extremely high. The casters who are truly proficient in this art can basically be regarded as elite Aurors, and they are the top ones. Even if they meet the great magician, they can live for several years. trick.
Prior to 1984, Appleby Arrows supporters had a tradition of shooting arrows into the sky when the Chasers scored. Imagine the scene of arrows raining from the sky, right? (Note: From "The Magic of Quidditch", this tradition was later banned because it was too dangerous)
In the first chapter of the original book, Dedalo Digg transformed a meteor shower in the sky of Kent! Imagine what would happen if he redirected the trajectory of the meteor towards the earth? Do any readers dare to say that Harry Potter is a world of low magic? Of course, even if Di Ge has the madness to destroy the world, whether he has enough magic power is another matter.
Okay, even if the Meteor Transformation Spell has other unknown limitations. There are also thunder cloud transformation spells and tornado transformation spells!
Dartmoor Moor, 1379, European Duel Competition. In the decisive battle between the runner-up wizard and the third-place wizard. The third-place wizard transformed into a large thundercloud, which not only poured down icy raindrops crazily, but also combined with thunder and lightning attacks! The runner-up wizard used the tornado transformation spell, which blew away the thundercloud, opponents, referees, spectators, and nearby trees! (Note: From "****", the final champion won with ****, which became a classic duel teaching material of "****")
Isn’t this a low-demon world?
Why didn't these magic appear in the original plot? Come on, there are very few group battles in the original book. Even if there are, it is a brawl within 20 people. Why use range skills? It’s better to just eat the big melon!
Another battle transfiguration spell comes from Voldemort. In the fifth part of the original book, during the battle between Dumbledore and Voldemort, Dumbledore issued a **** to Voldemort. Voldemort did not choose to use the Iron Armor Curse. He probably also guessed that the Iron Armor Curse could not handle this move. . In the end, he *****, which shows the importance of the transfiguration spell in actual combat.
As for ****, the reason Xie Lin was jealous was that he had activated the talent of Disguise Magus. He wanted to know the effect of combining the two together.
As usual, Professor McGonagall announced the end of get out of class after giving her homework on interspecies switching.
Schelling didn't wait for everyone to leave, then walked to the podium and made a request to Professor McGonagall to learn ****.
Professor McGonagall was a little surprised and stared at Xie Lin closely for a few seconds. After all the little wizards left the classroom, she organized her words and said: "Xie Lin, I know that your study progress is much ahead of your peers, but the fourth grade It's still too early for you to learn ****, that's part of the 7th grade curriculum..."
Professor McGonagall was very optimistic about Xie Lin, and she said this sincerely for Xie Lin's benefit.
Perhaps Schelling has really mastered the transformation spell and cross-species transformation. But after that there is the Vanishing Curse, and after the Vanishing Curse there is the Transfiguration Curse. **** is a magic that is more advanced, more difficult, and more dangerous than the Transfiguration Curse.
Xie Lin is prone to accidents if he is so greedy for success. This is what Professor McGonagall is trying to avoid.
Xie Lin helplessly spread his hands and said with a smile: "Professor, aren't I preparing for the Triwizard Tournament! The warriors from the other two schools are all seventh graders!"
Professor McGonagall looked at him suspiciously, and was about to refuse again, but saw Schelling flick his wrist, and the wand produced a stream of light, which landed on a desk.
The desk seemed to shake for a moment, and then quietly transformed into Xie Lin's appearance. Even the uniform and wand looked exactly the same. Although the expression on his face was slightly dull, his eyes were already bright and clear. It was really hard to tell that it was a fake doll. In the end, Schelling used a perfect disappearance spell to completely disappear it - the whole process included four owl-level transformations: material transformation, activation spell, transformation spell, and disappearance spell. branches, and all demonstrated impeccable performance.
Professor McGonagall's eyes narrowed, knowing that the boy was showing her his level of transformation. She could also achieve this level of transformation, but not when she was 14 years old.
This is a true genius!
Among her many students, James Potter, the last transfiguration wizard who appeared, could not catch up with him even if he tried to flatter him.
(Note: Although James successfully mastered the Animagus in the 5th grade, it took him 3 years to learn the transformation spell amato animo animato animagus. The spell is not as described in other fans, as long as it is pronounced correctly, and It has very high requirements for the level of transfiguration)
"Come with me." The serious lines on her face softened a bit and she walked out of the classroom.
Xie Lin's face lit up with joy and he quickly followed.
After arriving in her office, Professor McGonagall accurately pulled out a book from the bookshelf and handed it to Sherrin.
Schelling glanced at the title of the book - "****". He opened the cover, and any page was filled with Professor McGonagall's notes. Xie Lin was delighted. He had also seen this book in the library, but it only contained steps for practicing ****. Professor McGonagall's book contained extremely detailed precautions and methods to improve the success rate. This was what he really needed.
"Let me explain in advance that **** is an extremely dangerous transformation spell. I don't allow anyone to practice it secretly in private. Go back and read this book carefully. After reading it, you must tell me in advance when to start practicing. I I will follow you throughout the process to ensure your safety." The smile on Professor McGonagall's face gradually faded and she said seriously, "To impress you further and prove that what I said is not a joke, I will give you a few examples."
"The Sphinx, the master of transformation in ancient Egypt, reached the ultimate level in her pursuit of transformation. Unfortunately, in the end she confused the difference between structure and essence. During a transformation, she transformed herself into A sphinx-like monster, bereft of emotion and reason;”
"The Siren, a famous witch in ancient Greece, sacrificed her own reason and completely stripped away her humanity in the process of pursuing flight, thus becoming a harpy monster. It is said that to this day, some people still see her descendants Harpy wanders the Mediterranean."
(Note: The harpy harpy is a legendary creature in the world of Harry Potter, and its existence has never been confirmed. But every wizard knows the meaning of the harpy, and also knows the appearance and appearance of the legendary harpy. Character. In the original novel, Ginny describes the angry Veela as "Harpy-like". The Holyhead Harpies, to which Gwenog Jones belongs, are named after the Harpies)
Xie Lin was a little surprised. He guessed that human body deformation would be a big risk, but he didn't expect it to be so dangerous. He thought for a while and said, "So, Professor, what is the difference between structure and essence? If you change the structure, won't the essence change accordingly?"
Professor McGonagall smiled and said: "It's a very crucial question. The answer to this question actually varies from person to person, but in my opinion, the essence is your purpose and heart. Changing the structure is only the means of the shape-shifter, not the pursuit. The result. Only with the original purpose as a beacon, the shape-shifter will not lose his mind. This is applicable to any shape-shifting technique."
Xie Lin thought about her words quietly, without asking any more questions, and said softly: "Thank you, Professor."
Professor McGonagall's "****" was obtained!
