The Wizard, The Chimera of Extremes?

In the classroom transformed from the Room of Requirement.

After hearing Lucien's words, Ron remained silent, lost in thought.

As a member of the Weasley family, Ron's family are all wizards and possess magical abilities.

No one would think that being able to use magic is anything special.

Ron's brothers include those skilled at breaking curses and those with exceptional Quidditch talent...

The twins were skilled at playing pranks and were very popular among their classmates.

Of the Weasley family sons, only Ron behaved the most unremarkable.

Ron had never imagined that being able to use magic was such an amazing thing.

"Is being able to learn itself a blessing?"

"Right."

Lucien nodded, his eyes serious.

"Learning fast or slow is perfectly normal; the important thing is the act of learning itself."

"And to be honest, you have a talent for mechanics; you grasp the theory very quickly."

"As for Transfiguration, I'm confident I can teach you."

Ron found it hard to believe what Lucien said.

"You... you said I have a talent for mechanics?"

This was the first time Ron had ever heard anyone praise him for having a talent for something!

First!

Seeing Ron's joyful expression, Lucien understood that encouragement-based education was effective.

But that's not enough. Children of this age need not only reasonable encouragement, but also appropriate discipline.

"You studied mechanics and Transfiguration all in order to learn alchemical mechanics."

"This is your interest, this is your goal, so don't give up easily."

"I don't want to hear the phrase 'not learning' anymore, do you understand?"

Hearing Lucien's suddenly serious tone, Ron immediately tensed up.

"Yes, I understand!"

"Very well, now let's get back to Transfiguration."

Lucien snapped his fingers.

"When casting Transfiguration, or in other words, when casting magic, you must not worry. Don't think about what if the spell fails, or what if your wand is unsuitable and won't work..."

"Magic is certainty, it's belief—belief that you can definitely cast it."

Forget your worries, forget your anxieties, and wholeheartedly contemplate this magic...

Ron listened to Lucien's instructions while attempting to cast the Polymorph Transfiguration.

Even Harry, who had finished his exam, listened attentively.

This is a universal spellcasting core; we can't afford to miss it.

As Ron continued to try to Transfiguration, the matchstick gradually developed the characteristics of a silver needle.

Lucien nodded slightly. To be honest, Ron's talent couldn't be changed, and his wand probably couldn't be replaced anytime soon.

But, what can you do when magic in this world is purely subjective?

A wizard's own emotions and beliefs have a great influence on the release of magic.

A person who is always self-doubting, hesitant, and insecure cannot become an excellent wizard.

This kind of thing isn't like Muggle math or physics; if you don't know it, you just don't know it. Even if you desperately try to convince yourself that you can learn it, it's useless.

But magic, you believe you can do it, and it really works.

That's why Lucien wanted to help Ron build confidence, using his interest in alchemical machinery to guide him in learning and experimenting.

Well, the wand still has a significant impact.

The fact that the wand and Ron are incompatible cannot be changed for the time being, but repairing the wand's damage and reducing this effect is possible.

If Ron can master Transfiguration quickly, he can attempt to create alchemical machinery much faster.

Once Ron demonstrates his substantial learning achievements to his brother and family, he will gain recognition and approval.

With enough trust, I might be able to try to borrow some of the Weasley family's more valuable books and learn more about magic.

Take things one step at a time, eat one meal at a time, and do things in an orderly manner.

After teaching for a while longer, seeing that it was almost time, Lucien told Harry and his companion to go back and rest.

After the Room of Requirement, Lucien was left alone.

He pulled out a small booklet with a cover covered in scales, feathers, needles, and other such materials.

Chimera Manual.

Turn to a page containing biological information and its anatomical diagrams.

Lucien read for a few minutes.

He pulled out his wand and pointed it at the podium.

The characteristics and structure of that creature flashed quickly through my mind.

Smack

The brown podium instantly warped.

"Meow~~"

A soft, melodious bleating of a sheep drifted over.

The original podium disappeared, replaced by a white sheep.

As it moved, its soft fur trembled all over.

Yes, turning inanimate objects into living things is indeed not difficult.

The key is to understand the biological information of the organism to be Transfiguration.

I must say, this Chimera Manual has been a great help.

The information recorded here is incredibly detailed, to an outrageous degree.

To be honest, a wizard, especially a powerful one, is incredibly resourceful in achieving his goals.

It is easy to obtain the desired experimental subjects.

Regardless of whether the other party is an inanimate object or a living object.

Especially in ancient times, in that era of cold weapons where swords and blades were the main weapons, Muggle were simply no match for wizards' magic.

In some regions and dynasties, the leadership was even formed by a single sorcerer or a group of sorcerers.

No wonder that in the past, when wizards didn't need to hide themselves, Muggle feared wizards, resisted magic, yet also worshipped it.

As Lucien flipped through the records in the Chimera Manual, he memorized and pondered simultaneously.

The above items are the research findings of an ancient wizard, but they also record some spells, potions, and alchemical methods used for observation and analysis.

The precision with which those methods could produce results was in no way inferior to that of modern Muggle technology.

This is what wizards are all about; this is the convenience of magic—the ability to leapfrog and develop unimaginable methods without following the laws of technological progress.

Lucien finished reading a note and tapped his wand again.

The sheep was twisted again, turning into a large, white pig.

This is Transfiguration Stacking.

Transfiguration the same item multiple times.

With each layer of Transfiguration, the difficulty increases several times over.

However, Lucien's use of Transfiguration Stacking was very effortless, showing no signs of strain.

Letting the pig grunt and snort as it wandered around the classroom, Lucien flipped through the information on the next species.

With a flick of the wand, the white pig transformed into a mooing water buffalo.

Lucien would look at the manual for a while, then cast a Transfiguration.

After five layers of Transfiguration, the final form is a giant python, quietly coiled in the corner.

Well, one of the biggest challenges in creating Chimera is the Transfiguration Stacking process.

To obtain a loan, one must Transfiguration into a "Chimera" possessing at least five biological characteristics and be able to Transfiguration at least five times.

Perhaps, by directly using the Transfiguration of living beings, we could avoid one layer of Transfiguration Stacking?

In short, as long as you have five biological characteristics, you just need to retain the characteristics of the original organism.

Lucien twirled his wand, coordinating the surge of magic according to the instructions in the manual.

Almost instantly, the python's appearance underwent a dramatic change.

It sprouted cow horns from its head, its nose turned into a pig's snout, wool grew from between its scales, and a pair of bat wings grew from its back.

Lucien frowned as he looked at the twisted, monstrous creature on the ground.

It does indeed incorporate features from several organisms, but...

It has all the appearances but no substance.

That's not enough; we can try even more variations and change even more details.

From bones to muscles, and then to the skin, scales, and hair on the body surface, the structure of the limbs...

Lucien flipped through the records in the Chimera Manual, feeling that there was still knowledge that had not been fully explored.

The limits of Chimera are probably not that simple.

That's not enough...
