073. Scott's Transfiguration Progress

In the blink of an eye, it's Saturday.

The first Quidditch match of the school year took place on this day.

In the bedroom, Scott was lying on his stomach on the table writing something on parchment with a quill pen.

The black raven stood motionless at his hand.

Two of his roommates discuss the upcoming Quidditch match.

"The first match of the year is Gryffindor vs. Slytherin!" Eddie said expectantly.

Roger's voice was also excited, "Just right, let Gryffindor try out how strong the Slytherin is after equipping the new broomstick!" ”

At this time, Eddie walked up to Scott and called him, "Scott, the game is about to start, let's go!" ”

"Eddie! Roger! ”

The raven on Scott's desk came to life, and it walked around with vigour, and began to call out the names of Eddie and Roger repeatedly.

"Eddie! Roger! Eddie! Roger ......"

"Oh!" Eddie covered his ears, "Shut it up, Scott!" ”

Scott picked up the wand on the table and waved, and the crow immediately fell silent.

He looked up at Eddie, "Gryffindor vs. Slytherin match?" ”

Eddie nodded, "Let's go, today's game must be exciting!" ”

He smiled maliciously, "Think about it, Gryffindor and Slytherin, they both hate each other!" Especially Potter and Malfoy! I dare say the number of fouls in this game will definitely break the record! ”

Scott shook his head, uninterested.

"I'm not going." He said, glancing at Roger again, "Of course, I'll watch it when the Ravenclaw game comes." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head again and continued to write.

Eddie advised him again, "Oh! Come on man! ”

"Sorry, I'm busy." Scott didn't look up.

"Forget it, Eddie."

Roger said with some unhappiness.

"Scott was busy studying, Milton had already gone to the classical music club, and neither of these guys were that fond of Quidditch!"

"Okay." Eddie's tone was a little helpless.

By the time Scott had finished writing a paragraph, the two had already walked out of the bedroom.

Scott watched the door to his dorm close, shook his head, and continued to write.

For the past few days, he had been thinking about what Dumbledore had said to him.

Magic is the power of believing.

This phrase sounds quite ordinary. Because after the young wizards came to Hogwarts, the professors often emphasized the need to recite incantations with firm faith.

Scott had long since learned in practice that if he was hesitant about spells, the chances of magic failure would be greatly increased.

Dumbledore's words, though common sense, still inspired him a lot.

It was this sentence that made Scott understand that he had fallen into a thinking mistake again.

In the past, when he was thinking about how to make those "works" act autonomously, the first reference that came to mind was the "Stone Pier Dispatch" shown by Professor McGonagall in the "original" in 1991 in the large-scale wizarding chess level and Armageddon.

Both of these spells are undoubtedly masterful uses of Transfiguration.

"Stone Pier Dispatch" aside, it was too complicated, and Scott even suspected that the guardian magic had something to do with Hogwarts Castle itself.

The Wizard Chess levels seem to be a bit simpler, they are just large automatic Wizard Chess.

Scott has been wondering why they are able to play chess with outsiders who break into the level after they are out of the command of Professor McGonagall himself.

In his original conjecture, to achieve this level, it was necessary to set up a "program" for Transfiguration to interact with the interlocutor.

Such a "procedure" is extremely complicated when you think about it, and even makes it difficult for him to start.

After all, he was not a programmer in his previous life, and it is impossible for him to use magic to create an artificial intelligence after he is reincarnated.

In fact, when he thought of this, he knew that his thoughts had gone into a misunderstanding again.

Professor McGonagall certainly couldn't have been a programmer.

But Scott never thought of what he could do to create a "work" similar to "artificial intelligence" using metamorphosis.

He can conjure up animals with Transfiguration, but he can't give them thoughts and memories.

After getting into the horns, Scott thought about trying the dark arts.

After all, only dark magic has an in-depth study of the soul.

He even conceived of the forbidden means of transforming the human soul into his own metamorphosis "works".

Of course, this is just his unfounded conjecture.

However, the idea of "finding the path to the development of Transfiguration by studying the dark arts" did come to his mind many times.

If it weren't for the strong self-control, coupled with the usual cautious habitual constraints, he would have been able to get started long ago.

Until Dumbledore woke him up.

Magic is the power of believing.

Yes, the common sense that he had repeatedly emphasized since the beginning of his contact with magic was actually ignored by him.

Wizards cast spells without thinking about how they got the results, they usually just had to tell themselves "I want" and "I can do it".

It's like turning a piece of wood into a stone, but do wizards need to understand how the molecular atoms that make up wood are transformed into stone?

No, you don't!

That's something Scott has long understood.

He remembered what he had said to Cedric some time ago—

"I don't have to use my brain to remember what elements are made of different materials, or to think about complex problems like what molecules and atoms are used."

"I just need to use my magic to remember that feeling, different things that feel different under the perception of magic. Following this memory when using Transfiguration will allow you to successfully change their texture. ”

What I have understood for a long time has once again fallen into a misunderstanding when I further study and apply it.

Scott was annoyed.

This can be regarded as the negative impact of the memory of the past life on this life, right?

He could only sigh with emotion.

After stepping out of the wrong thinking, he quickly figured out what he should do.

If you want to make your Transfiguration "work" have the ability to act autonomously, the first thing you need to do is to clearly outline everything about this "work" in your mind.

This includes appearance, abilities, behavior patterns, and even its memories and personality.

The more thorough, the better.

As Professor McGonagall emphasized in the first Transfiguration class, in order to turn a match into a needle, you must first have a clear outline of what a needle will look like in your mind.

Yes, the core gist of Transfiguration has always been that simple.

However, Scott had previously thought of advanced Transfiguration as too complicated, so that he had gone into a misunderstanding.

After thinking about this, he wrote two paragraphs in his notebook.

[If I were to conjure a talking raven with Transfiguration, I would just have to figure out what this complex looked like and what it would say, and then wave my wand firmly.]

I don't need to figure out how ravens speak, magic does what I want. ]

When Scott finished writing these two paragraphs, he immediately put them into practice.

So since the first two days, they have had a very noisy raven in their bedroom.

Although it will only shout Scott's roommates by name when they approach it.

But it's also an interaction.

Scott saw progress in his Transfiguration through this raven.

Next, by adding more "settings" to the raven and believing in its existence, he can get a smarter raven.

Isn't it just a character design?

Scott felt like he could.

So, on this busy weekend when Quidditch matches were held at Hogwarts, Scott was left alone in his dormitory to write a biography of his raven.
