Chapter 22: Transfiguration is the path of the strong?

The concealment of the Dark Mark is going very well, although as expected, it is not a long-term hiding, but a temporary hiding, which can only last for three days at most, but it is also progress, isn't it?

At least when Zhang Jin wants to go to the trial of the Ministry of Magic, he doesn't have to worry about being pulled out on the spot and rolled up his sleeves.

At least when someone reports that Zhang Jin is a Death Eater, he can also show his arm in public and slap his face.

Thinking about it, I don't even need Dumbledore to testify, Zhang Jin can prove it himself: You see, I don't have the mark of the Dark Devil.

Hmm~, be cautious, don't be too profligate, just go and see the trial, and also see the famous characters in the book.

It is said that Severus in the original book did not dare to go to the Ministry of Magic to participate in the trial, which may also be for fear of being forced to pull his sleeves.

And in the process of hiding the black magic mark, Zhang Jin always felt that the spell casting process seemed to be somewhat familiar, as if he was casting a metamorphosis, right?

It's not a generic Transfiguration spell, but there's a sense of familiarity, and the point of Transfiguration itself isn't a spell.

Transfiguration and enchantment are completely different systems, and their essence is completely different.

For example, the Flying Charm gives the object the ability to fly, and the Illumination Charm gives the object the ability to emit light.

High-level enchantments can give the subject more complex properties, such as the Avada Death Spell, which gives the subject death.

The granting of these abilities is achieved through the efforts of the soul's will.

And these conferred abilities are precisely controlled by casting spells, so there are many spells for spells, and the corresponding effects are also different.

The Transfiguration Charm can change the properties of the object, such as changing the color, shape, etc., and the change of these properties only requires a simple spell, and what it becomes is completely supported by imagination and magic.

So there are very few spells of Transfiguration,

Even changing the material and turning wood into metal can't be surprising, after all, it is maintained by magic, and as long as there is magic, you can change whatever you want, which is very in line with the setting of magic, and also in line with our understanding of magic.

Because the transformed products are maintained by mana, and once the mana is lost or removed, the object will return to its original state, so wizards cannot use the transformed gold coins and the like.

But the advanced Transfiguration technique is very exaggerated, first of all, it can transform the soul, not simply changing the appearance into other shapes, but even the soul will change.

This is the Animagus Transfiguration, and it is magical because it is a complete, complete metamorphosis.

When a wizard transforms into an animal through Animagus, the animal he transforms into is no different from the native species that exists in nature, not only has its living habits or physiological characteristics, but can even combine with the native species and give birth!

For example, the five-legged monsters in the wizarding world were created by other wizards using Transfiguration, and they have been found to be a magical biome.

There are also many records in the wizarding world that wizards forget or cannot transform back into their original bodies after transformation, and can only live and reproduce in the body of animals.

The animals that the wizard transformed through the Animagus had no magical powers, and the only reason they could continue to live and reproduce was because their souls had also changed.

We really can't think of how those animals that were originally wizards could have eaten, lived and even could, and even coexisted with wild beasts, if it weren't for the change of soul and the essential acceptance of their animal identity.

And Zhang Jin could clearly feel that his soul was changing like a stream of water when he covered the Black Magic Mark, covering Severus's soul and only recovering after a while.

Therefore, in addition to changing the appearance, the most important thing for the transformation of the Animagus is probably to make the soul change accordingly, and the transformation of the soul is very difficult, so it can only transform into the animal image closest to the soul.

Moreover, if the new soul has to maintain its shape, I am afraid that its mobility will be much smaller, that is, the soul will can no longer pass through the body, so it cannot release magic, which causes Animagus to be unable to cast spells and become magical creatures after transformation.

It's not that it can't, but it's very difficult, not only to maintain the shape of the soul, but also to maintain enough fluidity to pass through the body, and this fluidity can't destroy the shape after transformation, and the difficulty can be imagined.

Therefore, wizards who try this end up with broken souls, dissipated, and died, leaving only corpses that were unsuccessfully transformed.

The higher levels of Transfiguration can even turn dead things into living things, which is not the kind of table turning into pigs that Professor McGonagall once demonstrated.

Professor McGonagall was only an object in the shape of a pig, but it was still a table, so it would change back when the magic was gone.

In other words, Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration is in line with Gamp's Basic Transfiguration Method, which is magical, but magical.

But who is Gamp? He was just a Transfiguration master from hundreds of years ago, could he be compared to the wizards of the ancients?

Obviously not, maybe Gamp is better at using magic, but the flaw is obvious - there is no more powerful magic.

Ancient wizards used more advanced transfiguration techniques.

This metamorphosis is a pig that can turn a table into a real pig, a pig that can exist without magic, a pig that can eat, drink, live, and even give birth, and it will always exist.

This is exactly the rhythm of the gods' creation of life!

The most important thing is that there is a very obvious proof in the wizarding world, and this proof is the existence of house-elves, which were treated as slaves in the original book.

They themselves were created to be slaves to wizards.

It is no longer known when the house-elves were created, but the clues left behind show that the house-elves were made using the corpses of the elves.

Maybe there were still remnants of souls in the corpses at that time, so it wasn't all about creating life, after all, house-elves and goblins still had a lot in common.

And it's already incredible, how do wizards turn remnant souls into new ones? Or even the birth of a new soul? And it can also make the corpse retain its physiological characteristics, and even give birth to offspring that are completely different from the original corpse? Completely turned into a new race.

It's really an incredible magic, and no matter how much chance there is, no matter how many coincidences or other explanations, it can be called a miracle.

At this time, the basic transformation method of Gamp, what living and dead things can't transform into each other, and what can't transform non-magical items into magical items will be beaten to shreds immediately.

And what is a wizard with this power who is not a god?

And isn't the path to godhood Transfiguration?
