Transfiguration Class

With those words, Dumbledore pointed its wand at the lectern in front of it.

The originally sharp, four-cornered shape instantly twisted and rolled, solidifying in the blink of an eye into a lifelike Mighty Lion.

The young wizards in the classroom exclaimed in amazement.

They were praising how detailed the patterns on the lion statue were.

Is that it?

Cypher raised his eyebrows, turning his gaze to Dumbledore.

He noticed the smile in Dumbledore's eyes.

Could it be?

The Mighty Lion in front of them began to rise and fall.

Cypher quickly covered his ears with his hands. The two girls beside him noticed Cypher's strange behavior.

They imitated Cypher as if guided by fate.

The moment the two girls covered their ears.

It was as if a play button had been pressed.

The Mighty Lion on the podium suddenly opened its eyes and let out a deafening roar towards the audience.

Caught off guard, the little wizards were frightened pale by the lion's roar, and some even got up to hide. It caused a commotion in the classroom.

Seeing that it was about enough, Dumbledore hurriedly waved its wand.

The snarling, leaping Mighty Lion in the air turned into a harmless-looking black and white badger.

The roar of the Mighty Lion disappeared.

The little wizards gradually understood.

The little wizards who had left their seats returned to their positions with embarrassed expressions.

Just as everyone was pointing and whispering at the badger, their eyes shining.

Two sharp, long wings suddenly grew from the badger's back.

The badger transformed into a raven, flapping its wings and flying around the classroom.

Then, the raven landed on Dumbledore's hand.

It folded its wings, twisted, and turned into a snake.

The snake circled around Dumbledore and crawled back to the ground.

It curled up in a ball where the lectern had been placed before.

With a twist, the lectern reappeared in its original place, intact.

Dumbledore's brilliant performance impressed all the little wizards.

Everyone applauded involuntarily, and Gryffindor even shouted loudly for their old senior.

Living Transfiguration requires too much effort.

Shape Transfiguration of the same material, material conversion, material conversion Transfiguration, semi-biological Transfiguration of the same material...

In short, the difficulty of Dumbledore's demonstration was no less than that of the highest-level human Transfiguration, Animagus.

While Dumbledore's magic wasn't dispelled, they were real creatures!

Dumbledore reached out and suppressed the applause.

Meeting the little wizards' eager eyes.

It spoke seriously:

"Transfiguration is the most complex and demanding magic of all. In a sense, learning it is as dangerous as learning the Dark Arts!"

"Because there is a core issue in performing Transfiguration. How to change the external structure of things without affecting their essence. This is the principle that generations of Transfiguration masters have adhered to."

Without Dumbledore waving its wand, the thick curtains slowly fell, but the classroom was not completely dark.

Because the chandeliers above also lit up with flickering candlelight as the curtains fell.

In this dim classroom, Dumbledore turned and reached out to tap the blackboard behind it with its wand.

The blackboard lit up like a multimedia projector screen from the previous life.

"As the first Transfiguration class, what I want to teach you first is not magic, nor is it the three principles of Transfiguration."

"I want to tell you that the most important quality in learning magic is caution! The most important attitude is humility! The most important behavior is to act according to your ability!"

"Each spell must be guaranteed to be controllable, and each Spells must be carefully considered by yourself, otherwise your Spells may cause extremely terrifying consequences."

As the words fell, the white 'screen' displayed a series of hideous monsters.

Cypher widened his eyes slightly, not to mention the other little wizards.

He heard gasps and suppressed screams behind him.

Without turning his head, Cypher knew how scared they were.

"In the history of Transfiguration development, there have been many wizards who have gone much further than ordinary people on the path of Transfiguration. It is through the selfless attempts and summaries of our predecessors that we have the basic principles in our current Transfiguration textbooks."

"Most of those failed records are glossed over, and no one cares about these failures."

"But! I don't want you to become one of the failures, so I want to tell you about the history that is not recorded in the textbooks first."

"To let you know what consequences can result from casting Spells with blind arrogance and impulsiveness!"

"Now, I will show you the failure records that I have collected and sorted out. I have summarized that the main reason for their failure is that their magical experiments were not cautious enough!"

Subsequently, Dumbledore introduced various pictures and the experiences of the wizards behind them one by one.

Sphinx, Harpy, Minotaur...

Dumbledore's voice was calm and steady as it introduced them, and only its flat voice echoed throughout the classroom.

Everyone held their breath and listened attentively, immersed in the stories of these predecessors who risked their lives for the truth of magic.

After finishing this stage, Dumbledore did not speak to break the silence, but instead allowed everyone to reflect and summarize.

Suddenly, a hand was raised, breaking the calm scene.

Dumbledore noticed it, but after a while.

It waved its wand, and sunlight filled the entire classroom again, sweeping away the dull and oppressive atmosphere.

"Tom, do you have any questions?"

Tom lowered his hand and slowly stood up. He bowed slightly to Dumbledore with an elegant gesture, and asked in a respectful tone:

"Professor, what influences the external without affecting the essence? Why doesn't Transfiguration change according to my will when I want it to change?"

Well, I also have such a confusion. Tom is a good person, helping me scout out the minefield.

Cypher sat in place, feeling happy in his heart.

Dumbledore frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Tom is already revealing his ambition? Haven't I taught him enough lessons?

But Dumbledore couldn't refuse to answer in public. What's more, many new students would encounter this question.

"This is a very controversial issue. The development of Transfiguration is a spiral of continuous verification and negation around this point. I believe that Transfiguration is to use your own heart, to use the love in your heart for all things, to feel them, to echo them, so that your needs can be transmitted to the object you want to transform. Use your magic to carry your thoughts and reach their 'core'. Let it know what you want and how to do it, so as to complete the transformation."

"Among them, the highest level of Transfiguration—the human Transfiguration Animagus, I am currently compiling relevant materials. I can tell you that in order to complete this complex and great magic, you must use love as an anchor, guard your heart, and resist the bestiality of the transformed animal itself during the initial transformation, so that you do not become an irrational beast."

Dumbledore's words were almost directly saying, Tom, you have to use love to influence them, to tolerate them, you can't think about ruling and oppressing...

However, Dumbledore's teaching to its 'own son' was destined to be like casting pearls before swine.

Tom sneered in his heart, love?

"Thank you, sir."

Tom replied with a fake smile, which attracted many little witches to secretly stare at him.
