Chapter 478: True Invisibility Curse
Over lunch, Cedric eagerly inquired about Professor Moody's level of teaching.
"It's exciting!" Mikel couldn't wait to say: "I have a hunch that this year's Defence Against the Dark Arts class will be much better than in previous years, even Lupin...... Of course, I'm not saying that Professor Lupin is bad, but those dark magic animals are a bit boring compared to the means of dealing with spells. ”
"Oh...... I'd love to see it right away......"
Listening to his description, Cedric only felt itchy in his heart, but no, they had to wait until Friday for Defence Against the Dark Arts class, and now he had to go outside for a herb class.
Cedric hurried downstairs to leave, and Kyle walked into the classroom and began to sort out the textbooks he was going to use next.
When it was time for class, Professor McGonagall hurried in.
She didn't start the class directly, but spent almost fifteen minutes emphasizing it to the class. L. The importance of the exam.
"You must remember that this exam may affect your prospects for many years to come!" Professor McGonagall stood on the podium and said with a serious face, "But I don't think there's a reason why all the students in this class can't be transfigured, given the time and effort put in. L. Certificate ......"
Emphasize the importance of the exam first, and then affirm the student's ability...... Well, that's Professor McGonagall.
It wasn't until fifteen minutes later that she finally stopped, picked up her textbook, and said.
"Today's lesson is very important and I hope each of you will be able to cheer up the spirit of twelve, because what we are going to learn is. L. The most difficult magic in the exam, the Vanishing Spell ......"
Then, she demonstrated, and managed to make a snail disappear from the podium.
"Aha......"
Before Professor McGonagall could speak, Mikel suddenly let out a strange laugh of excitement as if she had taken the wrong potion.
"Mr. Drake!"
Professor McGonagall said sternly, "If you think my words are ridiculous......"
"I'm sorry, Professor McGonagall, I'm sorry......" Mikel said quickly, but there was still a smug look on his face.
"In the last class, Professor Moody asked us to list the dark arts, and I said the Vanishing Charm, but he told me there was no such magic...... This is obviously his mistake, right? ”
The first time he outperformed a professor in some way, and he was still a very famous professor, which made Mikel unspeakably excited.
Professor McGonagall was a little confused, so she walked over to Kyle, who was closest to her, and asked what had happened in the previous class.
After a few minutes, she stood up again, looked at Mikel and said:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Drake, I think Alastor is right, the Vanishing Charm is not really dark magic."
"What?" Mikel subconsciously said, "But the snail just now ......"
Before he could say yes, Professor McGonagall waved her wand again, and the snail that had disappeared from before magically appeared on the podium again.
"First of all, you have to understand why the Vanishing Charm is a Transfiguration ......"
Professor McGonagall explained, "It doesn't just make the object disappear like a cleansing spell, but it transforms it into nothingness, which you can also think of as an invisible ghost, or air.
But essentially, the object itself still exists, and as long as it is counterspelled, such as a reduction spell or a recovery spell, it can be rendered invalid. ”
"Huh?" Mikel stood there with his mouth open.
"Alright, sit down." Professor McGonagall waved her hand, "I won't deduct points this time, but next time I want you to be more rigorous and understand what the definition of dark magic is."
Of course, this work needs to be done in your free time, and don't ask me, and don't forget that it's Transfiguration class time. ”
Afterwards, Professor McGonagall gave each of them a snail to use as a practice prop.
Kyle looked at the snail on the table and fell into thought.
To be honest, his attention was on cross-species transformation and multiple transformations some time ago, plus there were too many things happening during the holidays, and he really didn't remember that there was a vanishing spell in the Transfiguration for a while.
Everyone started experimenting, and Kyle picked up his wand and pointed at the snail in the same way that Professor McGonagall had done.
However, the snail did not disappear directly, but changed from its original gray-brown to gray-white, and it was only with Kyle that he waved his wand again to make the snail disappear.
It took two consecutive successes for Kyle to feel that the Vanishing Charm was almost as difficult as it would be after five transformations.
Professor McGonagall, who had been standing next to the students since they had been practicing, couldn't help but nod her head when she saw this scene.
"Good, someone has done it!"
She said loudly, catching everyone's attention.
"As a bonus, Hufflepuff Plus ten!"
There wasn't too much surprise in the classroom, and when everyone heard it was Hufflepuff and saw Kyle next to her, they all lowered their heads in surprise.
They've been classmates with Kyle for five years, and they're used to it.
Professor McGonagall didn't say anything more, and after adding points, she prepared to go to see the others.
"Professor McGonagall, I have a question!" Kyle suddenly stopped her.
"What?" Professor McGonagall turned.
Kyle thought for a moment and asked, "Can the Vanishing Charm be used on himself?" ”
Ever since Professor McGonagall explained the principles of the Vanishing Charm, he'd been thinking about it.
Turning objects into nothingness, but not disappearing completely, is the real invisibility spell.
In other words, if he used the Vanishing Charm on himself, he could come and go anywhere as he pleased.
Unless the other party uses a wide range of ten thousand curses, what kind of killing curse, fierce fire curse...... Nor the Dementors, the Fire Dragons, will have any effect on him.
What's more, there is no time limit for this mantra, how long you want to stay,
It's just another form of invincibility, and Kyle really can't help but be impressed.
"Oh?" Professor McGonagall glanced at him, her eyes flashing.
"When I first came into contact with the Vanishing Charm, I had the same idea as you." "Theoretically," she says...... Yes, but it's hard, and it's far beyond your imagination, and even I can't do it now. ”
"You can't do it either?" Kyle frowned, "Is it so hard?" ”
"Because depending on the complexity of the object, the vanishing charm will become more and more difficult."
"Snails and caterpillars are the simplest, but even so, most people take a long time to learn, waiting until after Christmas, or even Easter holidays," said Professor McGonagall softly.
And by the time you reach the seventh grade, as long as you can make one iguana disappear, you can easily get Transfiguration... Certificate.
In addition, the wizard's magic power will also have a great effect on the vanishing charm, especially when used on oneself, the stronger the mana, the greater the effect.
Because our body subconsciously rejects this deformation, which is uncontrollable. ”
"So, there's no place where we can't use the Vanishing Charm on ourselves?" Kyle frowned.
Humans are much more complex than iguanas, and it is conceivable that in order to use the vanishing charm on oneself, one must have enough magic power as a basis.
But in turn, these manas affect the vanishing spell, which in turn requires more mana...... There seems to be an unsolvable loop between the two.
"No, it's still possible, it's just that I didn't make it." Professor McGonagall smiled, "But I'd love to see you do it." ”
