"It's the same example."

Ash gathered his thoughts for a moment, then continued:

"Ancient wizards tended to have more powerful magic, while modern wizards have more subtle magic."

"This is because ancient wizards had 100,000 mana, while modern sorcerers only have 1,000 mana."

"For modern wizards, the most important thing is often not magic, but wands and spells. Wands need to be crafted, spells need to be crafted, and wizards create them to help them perform their magic. For example......"

"Accio!"

Ash waved his wand lightly, and magically manipulated the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" on the table to fly into his hand.

"It costs 10 mana to spread the Flying Spell on a fake facility, and that ordinary wizard only has enough mana to cast a hundred Flying Spells."

"But the wand can reduce this cost by 7, and the enchantment will reduce the cost by 2. Therefore, with the dual assistance of magic spells and wands, wizards only need to consume 1 mana each time they release, and the remaining 9 mana is compensated by the ubiquitous 'mana' in the air, which will be able to use the 'flying spell' ten times more efficient in disguise, so I said that the magic of modern wizards is quite subtle. ”

"As for the ancient wizard, even without a wand or charm, he could easily cast 10,000 flying spells, which is still ten times more than modern wizards. However, this is only the most extreme case. ”

"The truth is that ancient wizards were not barbarians, they used wands and spells as early as two thousand years ago. Although wands and enchantments weren't as sophisticated back then, they were able to reduce the mana cost of using the Flying Charm to 2. ”

"In other words, modern wizards' wands and spells increase wizards by 1000%, while ancient wizards only increase by 500%."

"But the subtlety of wands and spells doesn't solve the fundamental problem, which is the amount of magic."

"The example of the Flying Charm is less obvious, but if it's killing magic, the difference is even more pronounced, like ...... Thunderbolt explosion. ”

Ash wanted to demonstrate, but realized that this was the office, so he gave up for the time being, and described it in words:

"Let's say using a Thunderbolt Explosion costs 50 mana, and a wand and enchantment can reduce that cost to 5. That is, the wizard can use 5 mana to unleash a thunderbolt explosion with a power of 50. ”

"Theoretically, wizards can still input more mana to unleash more powerful thunderbolt explosions."

"For example, with 50 mana, release a thunderbolt explosion with a power of 500."

"But many wizards rely too much on spells, so they can only use 5 mana to unleash a 50-power Thunderbolt Explosion, but not 50 Mana to unleash a 500-power Thunderbolt Blast."

"It's not a flaw in the spell, it's the wizard's own talent."

"But ancient wizards are different, most of them have powerful magical powers, and they can control their magic as they please!"

"An ancient wizard can unleash a thunderbolt explosion with 500 power with 500 mana without a wand. If he has a wand and enchantment, he can increase the power of his magic up to 500%. ”

"That is, with 500 points of magic power, a thunderbolt explosion with a power of 2500 will be released."

After a pause, Ash continued:

"All of what I said above is based on an ancient wizard in modern times, or under conditions that have the same 'concentration of mana'. Their magic is not subtle, but with their vast magical power, they can easily defeat all modern wizards. ”

"But what if an ancient wizard unleashed magic in ancient times?"

"The magic power of ancient wizards is a hundred times that of modern wizards, so according to reasonable speculation, the 'magic concentration' of ancient times is also 100 times that of modern times, and it may even be higher."

"Then, when an ancient wizard casts magic, in addition to the 500% increase in wands and spells, the 100% increase in ancient 'mana concentration' should also be considered. And these two increases are not simply additive, but multiplied! ”

"So an ancient wizard who uses magic and wands to release magic in ancient times will gain a 50,000% increase in power!"

"In other words, if the ancient wizard himself consumed 500 mana, then the power of his thunderbolt explosion is 250,000!"

"Professor McGonagall, do you understand this concept?"

Professor McGonagall didn't answer, not because she didn't want to speak, but because she was speechless in shock.

It also consumes 500 mana points, and the magic power that modern wizards release with all their might is only 5000.

Ancient wizards obviously used magic less efficiently, but the magic power they released was 250,000, which is 50 times that of modern wizards! If a modern wizard's full blow can destroy a house, an ancient wizard's casual blow can destroy an entire village!

Although Ash's data has not been subjected to any scrutiny, it is just a hypothesis of integer for convenience, and has no scientific basis. But Professor McGonagall was unable to refute Ash's theory.

Because no matter what, the strength of ancient wizards is much stronger than that of modern wizards, the magic of ancient wizards is so strong that they can move mountains and reclaim seas, and the strength of the wizarding world is not as good as that of one generation after another...... These are all recognized facts by all wizards!

Whether Ash's theory is correct or not, at least he provides a plausible explanation.

Professor McGonagall was silent for a long time, then spoke slowly:

"If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of your paper seems to be to discuss Transfiguration?"

While Ash's theories are unassailable, are they off topic?

Because I was so shocked, I chose to change the subject.

"Actually, there is a certain connection."

Ash pondered for a moment, then continued, "Assuming that the total amount of magic power of ancient wizards is generally 100 times that of modern wizards, then for other magical creatures, this set of theories also applies, for example, the magic power of ancient dragons is also 100 times that of modern dragons. ”

"And for magical creatures, there is another more important rule of 'magic', and that is the operation system of magic, which I call the 'magic circuit'."

"The magic of wizards comes from the blood of wizards, and we can use wands and spells to mobilize the magic in our bodies through magic circuits to release magic. Most magical creatures have a very different magic circuit, such as the troll's magic circuit, which uses magic to refine their skin, which gives their skin a very high magic resistance, but also loses the ability to unleash powerful magic. ”

"Dragons have a higher magic power than trolls, so their magic circuits can take into account the advantages of both trolls and wizards, and while refining dragon scales with magic power to make them extremely resistant to magic, the remaining magic power can also support them to release powerful magic."

"And both of these are without exception, they have a magic circuit that operates in a logic that is diametrically opposed to that of wizards!"

"But all along, wizards have never considered the difference between wizards and other magical creatures in their magic circuits when performing transfiguration."

"Because the transfiguration used by wizards before this, whether it is a dead thing turning into a living thing, or a living thing into a dead thing, the transformed object itself has no magical power, so this type of transfiguration is the simplest."

"And because the wizard itself has magical powers, when transforming the wizard into an animal, it is very easy to have an accident and even lead to the death of the wizard. However, as the crowning achievement of Transfiguration, the animals that Animagus transformed into needed to retain their magic power intact and the corresponding magic circuits. ”

After a pause, Ash asked:

"Professor McGonagall, you shouldn't be difficult to understand as an Animagus, right?"

“……”

Professor McGonagall didn't answer, but her heart was already shaking.
