"First smash the original thing, and then reconstruct the object. This thing doesn't sound so simple..."
"Of course... otherwise why is Permanent Transfiguration Art so difficult?" Dumbledore directly interrupted Tom's doubts, and then confirmed the difficulty of this matter...
"It is also because of this that when they first start practicing Permanent Transfiguration Art, many wizards will face a huge difficulty, that is, after smashing the original object, they can no longer see it..."
"This has become a different kind of Vanishing Spell..."
"Also... some wizards have some subtle problems when they are reconstructed, which will also cause problems in the final product. It just looks like it has no inner meaning... It is really too common to see everything working normally, but not working at all..."
"This is just a dead thing Permanent Transfiguration. If it involves a living thing, the amount of calculation and magic required will be even greater... When reconstructing a living thing, any mistake will result in a stillbirth or a monster..."
"So the living branch of Permanent Transfiguration will not be considered until it is close to the Transfiguration master stage... Such Permanent Transfiguration is also restricted by Wizards' Council..."
"From these aspects, Transfiguration also reflects its danger..."
Dumbledore's narration was extremely comprehensive, and Tom was also shocked when he heard it.
He did not expect that Transfiguration, which he had ignored, was so complicated. Just what the professor said was completely worth a wizard's lifetime study, not to mention...
"How did I hear that Animagus is the most difficult advanced magic application among Transfiguration?"
It's not that Tom doubts Dumbledore's story, it's just that he read a lot of books in the library, and in many books he mentioned it invariably -
The crown of Transfiguration is Animagus, not Permanent Transfiguration Art. Does that mean that Animagus will be more difficult?
"... Have you heard of Animagus?... But yes, the name of this magic is really famous..." Dumbledore is not surprised by Tom's question. Any little wizard who knows something about Transfiguration should have heard of this magic.
The difficulty of Animagus itself is very high. In addition, there are not many Animagus in the entire Britain territory, including levels, which further highlights the threshold and difficulty of this magic.
"They are different levels of difficulty..."
"Let's put it this way, if Animagus doesn't use that set of rituals to practice, its danger is ranked among the highest among existing magic... But with that set of specially researched magic rituals, the danger of this magic is greatly reduced. The only possibility of failure is that it can't be learned at all..."
"If Permanent Transfiguration Art needs to have a clear enough understanding of objects so that Master Transfiguration can become the creator of a new creation, then Animagus really walks into the heart of the wizard and makes himself completely what he is in his heart..."
"I believe you should have read some related descriptions - what a wizard can transform into in the end is completely created by their life, experience and heart. This is an uncontrollable change..."
"The difficulty is that you need to clearly understand your own heart, and then bravely open your heart and let everything about you be exposed to magic. Only in this way can you let magic bloom naturally and give you corresponding feedback..."
"However, once you hesitate, then this hesitation will be reflected in magic, and eventually strange creatures will appear. It is said that Werewolf is a failed product of Animagus. They resent life, so they have the ability to infect and assimilate..."
"Of course, it is not that easy to practice Animagus. Simply put, holding the leaves of Mandrake in your mouth for a month and constantly chanting spells will make the impatient little wizard give up. The professors will also discover this illegal operation and stop it in time, unless you get permission..."
"Even if you complete all preparations, it is still unknown whether magic will respond to you in the end..."
"Animagus is a miracle of magic and a natural progression of emotional outbursts..."
Emotional outburst?
Tom suddenly thought of some classification methods that Grindelwald proposed when he explained magic to him.
Emotion School and Reason School.
Do you let your emotions make magic bloom naturally, or do you let reason control magic to complete its predetermined trajectory?
Isn't this exactly the difference between Animagus and Permanent Transfiguration?
It turns out that it exists not only in Charms, but also in Transfiguration.
Tom's thinking began to extend--
If this is the case, Potions should have the same two methods, one is to learn the preparation method of Potions rationally, and the other is to master the preparation method of Potions through emotional infusion.
What about Herbology? Through careful rationality, you can gain insight into plant problems and correct them bit by bit. Or, through emotional watering, let the plants show different characteristics?
From this point of view, the reason why these four most basic subjects seem to be the most basic context of Wizarding World has been found.
What about Defence Against Dark Magic, which is also very important? Does it have any other division methods, or is there something very profound about this course that they don't know?
Obviously, Tom has learned a lot of knowledge compared to when he didn't enroll in school at the beginning, but now it seems that he is learning more and more, and he feels more and more profound about magic?
Sure enough, it's great to be a wizard.
Tom was distracted for too long. He quickly came back to his senses and looked at Dumbledore, "Professor? Do you know how to Animagus?"
Logically speaking, as the master of Transfiguration, Dumbledore's answer should be obvious. This magic should be something he can master.
Mo Fei also looked over curiously. After all, even in the original work, there is no sign that Dumbledore can't do it, so it's really curious what Transfiguration will be like in the end.
Dumbledore blinked, then smiled and said, "That's a secret. Don't ask a wizard about his magic. That's their privacy..."
Tom glanced at him helplessly and did not continue.
However, this attitude made Mo Fei a little suspicious. Is it possible that Dumbledore can't Animagus?
First of all, as Muggle, who knows the regret in Dumbledore's heart, he knows very well that that kind of regret has tortured this man for most of his life. According to what was said before, if you want to use Animagus, you need to open everything up.
Does he really want other beings to see that kind of deep regret?
Another point is that it is said that the shape of Animagus has some magical connection with Patronus Charm. In fact, most of the time, the shape of Patronus is the shape of Animagus.
Patronus of Dumbledore is a phoenix, but Animagus cannot Transfiguration become a magical creature. This contradiction adds a little more evidence to Mo Fei's speculation.
However, whether Animagus will not affect him from becoming Magic Master or a leader in the field of Transfiguration, this flaw is not worth caring about at all.
Although Tom was shocked by the prospect of Transfiguration at this time, he was still more willing to devote his energy to the death that interested him.
For a moment, the atmosphere between them fell silent again.
