23 Magical Power Transformations

Ryan was actually quite surprised.

These wandmakers actually glimpsed some of the secrets of the Elder Wand through this.

Because the Elder Wand is a one-time pledge of allegiance to different masters—the later master defeats the previous master, usually by killing him—it has never been destroyed or burned.

It possesses a wealth of Wisdom, power, and magic, far surpassing ordinary magic wands.

This is also the origin of the word 'old' in its name.

In fact, ordinary wands can also achieve this level of performance.

But that's very demanding.

Because secondhand wands, unlike Elder Wand, cannot absorb the Wisdom, power, and magic of wizards of different styles.

Second-hand wands, influenced by their first owners, can only draw power from wizards with similar styles to their former owners.

If you're unlucky and encounter someone you don't click with, you'll have to force a compromise, which may eventually cause the wand to 'die'.

Only in very rare cases will they encounter a compatible owner and grow together with him/her.

However, as it gains more owners and its style becomes more specialized, although it becomes stronger, it will eventually become so unusable that almost no wizards can use it.

Unlike the Elder Wand, which anyone can use.

This is one of the reasons why secondhand Wand Shop exist, yet cannot develop further.

What's worse is that while secondhand wands may offer more learning opportunities, they are still made of wood and are not as sturdy as other wands.

Just like Harry's Holly Wood wand in the original timeline, which absorbed Voldemort's power during the duel, allowing it to defeat Voldemort independently without its owner's control.

However, it was easily broken by Hermione's Confringo.

This is certainly because Harry's wand is specifically designed to attack Voldemort, but it's also because the wand itself isn't as sturdy as other wands.

To be honest, when it comes to dealing with Voldemort, if we disregard the Elder Wand's indestructible nature, Harry's Holly Wood wand, which repeatedly defeated Voldemort, would have been far more powerful.

The Elder Wand's advantage lies in the fact that it can be used for more than just fighting Voldemort.

It can replicate its former owner's achievements in the magical realm, greatly amplifying the effects of spells. Harry, for example, relied on the fact that an unknown former owner of Elder Wand had reached level 6 (Demigod Wizard) in the Mending Charm to repair his broken, 'dead' Holly Wood wand.

"Little brat?" Kate pulled Ryan out of his thoughts. "Wouldn't the Arborsage be a useless thing then?"

I remember you saying, kid, that a wizard's ability to Wandless Magic through hard work is actually equivalent to a weakened version of magical transformation.

But is Wandless Magic staff just a matter of having hands?

I have several spells that can do that!

Kate snapped her fingers, and a wisp of flame appeared at her fingertips.

This has nothing to do with Uagadou's gesture magic.

Her use of the term "wandless" is within the context of the Europe magical world.

It refers to creating magical phenomena without incantations, wands, or gestures.

This is similar to how Silent Spell refers to casting magic without chanting incantations, rather than a specific type of magic.

It doesn't literally mean making someone speechless.

Penelope, who was standing nearby, couldn't help but say, "That's only for you, isn't it?"

Many of the excellent Hogwarts students I know are unable to Wandless Magic.

"If you didn't have Ryan, you'd be forced to use your innate Wandless Magic to conceal your presence."

Ryan nodded approvingly at Penelope, "The Arborsage is definitely not useless."

The magical flow between the Arborsage and the Contract Tree compensates for the Tree Shepherd's disadvantage of not having as much fur as powerful Care of Magical Creatures like dragons and Phoenix.

Moreover, your own body hair is the most compatible with you.

Just as Grandmother Phoebe's hair suited her far better than the magical substances of other powerful Care of Magical Creatures.

In addition, the Contract Tree is a living wand tree, which has an advantage over wand wood that maintains its activity through various processes and the magic of the wand core.

This is why Arborsage are more prone to magical transformation than wizards.

Aside from the possibility that one might painstakingly cultivate magic their entire life without achieving transformation, and the fact that a wizard cannot control the emergence of transformative magical abilities, there are no major drawbacks.

"It's good that it can generate abilities, what kind of flaw is that?" Kate said with a sullen face, blowing out the magical flame at her fingertips.

"The ability to transform magical power is indeed born from the combination of the wizard's most proficient areas."

This also means that this is often what they like.

From this perspective, you are right.

However, some abilities can bring trouble to their owners.

A wizard who enjoys and excels at cursing doesn't necessarily want to curse people all the time.

However, the uncontrollable nature of magical transformations that give rise to abilities could very well result in permanent abilities that cause harm to others.

"If this permanent ability is combined with his own indispensable abilities like his eyes, then—" Ryan hadn't finished speaking.

Kate, standing to the side, said with a grim expression, "Like Medusa, she petrifies anyone who sees her."

Fortunately, my ability to undergo a second transformation recently, thanks to your Phoenix Metamorphosis, isn't like that.

"You underwent a second transformation? When? What ability did you gain?" Penelope was very surprised.

Because she and Kate both started their Phoenix Metamorphosis at the same time, how come Kate has already transformed while she hasn't?

At this moment, Penelope selectively ignored the fact that she didn't like drinking 'Potions'.

"Kate, this counts as your 2nd and 3rd magical transformation."

You possess the innate magic to diminish your own presence; that's 0.5.

Later, for various reasons, it reached 1.5. This allows you to shadowpick and move through shadows.

"The Phoenix Magic has brought you to 2.3. Now you can lurk in the shadows for much longer, instead of just a few seconds as before." Ryan immediately pointed out the error in Kate's words.

But he seemed unsatisfied and continued, "However, Kate, you are different from Penelope. You were born with the ability equivalent to 0.5 transformations."

Any future developments will be based on it.

What are you worried about?

"Why isn't it three magical transformations?" Kate was speechless.

She paid no attention to Ryan's subsequent ridicule.

Ryan doesn't know anything.

What if she's so shady that she can't stand the sun?

Compared to the ridicule that followed, she found the 2.3 particularly jarring.

She has mild obsessive-compulsive disorder and desperately wants things to be round numbers.

Penelope found Kate's question quite Versailles-like.

Ryan, however, looked as if he had heard a joke. "Three times?"

That is the domain of Demigod Wizard.

That's not accurate.

It's more like a byproduct of advancing to the level of Demigod Wizard.

As the saying goes, "All supernatural powers and transformations are inherent in itself."

Demigod Wizard have awakened a trace of the essence of ancient wizards known as gods have undergone a magical transformation rather than actively doing so.

Rather, it's because its essence was awakened, forcibly transforming its magic.

Kate responded that she wouldn't listen.

She pouts and sits down to the side.

Penelope, however, blamed everything on the fact that she hadn't been reading enough.

She began to read books, honing her newly awakened photographic memory, and looking forward to the early transformation of her magic.
