A Hogwarts Wizard Supreme

Ignoring Huanhuan's ignorance about his younger brother's position.

Li Fei waited for Professor McGonagall to swallow the mouthful of cake before speaking:

"Professor McGonagall, according to what you said this morning, Gamp's basic law of transformation mentions that food cannot be directly transformed by transformation."

Wiping her mouth, Mag nodded: "Yes, for example, the food in front of me was cooked in advance in the kitchen, and I moved it here using a transfer spell or a summoning spell."

"What about the magic spell [Clear Water Like Spring]?"

"[Clear Water Like Spring] is a spell that quickly condenses free water vapor in the air. It affects the surrounding environment through magic spells to quickly condense the existing moisture in the air.

It does not belong to the category of transfiguration, nor does it belong to the category of creating water out of thin air. "

Li Fei nodded thoughtfully.

"Professor McGonagall, if I shapeshift something consumable, like if I shapeshift a table into a burning candle, or a piece of chalk;

So has he been consumed? What will happen to the object after it is restored? "

Professor McGonagall waved her finger: "Even if you transform into a burning candle, it is only a pseudo-burning state. Even if the candle gradually becomes shorter, it is also a design and illusion created by the transfiguration technique.

Once the transformed fake chalk is used, it will instantly return to its original shape. "

Finally, someone answered the questions he had had since he was reading books in his previous life. The questions in Li Fei's mind were like waves crashing onto the "rock" of Professor McGonagall.

“I know that primary transfiguration can only change the skin, and it will turn into its original shape if it is damaged.

For example, I transformed a match into a needle.

If I try to ignite this needle, in terms of whether it can burn or not, if the wizard who applied the transformation to it has not considered this, will the needle burn directly?

If the wizard takes into account that the needle should not burn when transforming, will the match pretend to be incombustible, but is the wizard actually fighting against the essential nature of burning by consuming magic power?

And so the conflict intensifies—then the transfiguration breaks, and finally the match begins to burn.

Is this the truth?

In addition, how do advanced transformation techniques or even solidified permanent transformation techniques deal with such problems?I think there are obvious differences between him and alchemy. "

This question made Professor McGonagall think.

And Li Fei's barrage is not over yet.

“Besides, you said it’s forbidden to transform into food.

So if I transform a huge stone into food and let the enemy eat it, when it is corroded by stomach acid, will it return to its original shape in the stomach and burst the opponent directly?

What if I get a little more advanced and transform into ketchup and pepper?In what form will he exist, and in what form will he recover? "

This question made Professor McGonagall think for even longer.

However, Li Fei wasn't done yet.

“In other magic systems, such as the arcane mage that I know;

Their most basic ability is to use a small amount of magic power in the body as a guide to gather the magic power in the space around them to make magic bread and magic water that can satisfy hunger and thirst, and replenish physical strength and magic power.

There is even a saying that 'a wizard who cannot make bread is not a wizard.' What do you think of this? "

Regarding this question, Professor McGonagall subconsciously answered: "This is not the category of transfiguration, this belongs to the spells of other factions."

"Then have you heard of the plasticity spell [Bigby's Flying Palm]? It relies on powerful magic power to shape it, and then turns it into a huge magic palm to knock away the enemy."

After a barrage of questions, Professor McGonagall was finally confused.

She waved her hand, and a piece of parchment flew over from the desk, and began to record Li Fei's questions one by one.

However, Li Fei was not done yet. In other words, the questioning of Luo Lin by book friends in her previous life caused countless conceptual bugs to appear in the rigorous subject of transfiguration.

"If I give you a cooked potato, McGonagall, can you turn the cooked potato into a bag of potato chips?

It is not difficult for you to turn a potato into a potato chip, and it should be very easy to change the softness and hardness.But can you achieve the crispiness (microscopic texture inside) and saltiness (sodium chloride content) of potato chips?

And if you do this, if the shape of the potato chips changes, can it instantly return to its original shape?

Most of the transfigurations we see are surface image changes. It may be difficult to transform at a more sophisticated sensory level. Is this beyond the realm of normal transfiguration?

In other words, it's not impossible, it's just too difficult...?

Taking it a step further and conjuring food out of thin air is even more difficult. "

Li Fei finished speaking in one breath, and Professor McGonagall also wrote down a full piece of parchment.

"There are many problems here. Even as a professor, I can choose one of the entry points for academic research. Thank you, Li Fei, for providing me with so many research directions.

I want to tell you a premise here.

[Transfiguration is a convenient subject, and it is meant to bring convenience to you. 】

Transfiguration is just a convenience when you need a temporary clothes hanger so that your clothes won't wrinkle when you leave.

It does not provide you with a permanent clothes hanger-like existence.

Transfiguration can help you form a temporary staircase when you need to climb to a high place, but it cannot permanently form a solid staircase.

This is not deformation, this is called shaping. It is just a simple kneading of objects of the same material to achieve a permanent solidification effect.

The transformation spell only changes the external appearance of things. The match becomes an iron needle, which looks like the iron needle and has the same external appearance-hardness, weight, etc.

But they are still matches in essence. They may be afraid of fire, may not rust, have poor electrical conductivity, etc.

Transfiguration is just a wizard assigning imaginary characteristics to an object, severing the unity between the essence and expression of the thing, and changing the appearance, but it cannot change the essence.

If the essence can be changed, all kinds of uncontrollable phenomena based on natural laws will occur, and it violates the original intention of transfiguration - to change the form and be recoverable. "

"So, there is no need for you to think about how to keep the temporary items permanently."

Professor McGonagall concluded, "That is the scope of alchemy that should be considered. The original purpose of alchemy is to change worthless items into gold, and it is a permanent and essential change."

According to Professor McGonagall, Transfiguration cannot change the nature of things, and the effects of Transfiguration cannot withstand overly complex tests, such as being chewed to pieces, being digested, or microscopic changes that continue to occur over time, which will destroy the transformation. The effect of the technique.

Therefore, if the transformation spell maintained by the wizard is lost, it is easy to return to the original state - if the transformation effect disappears with the passage of time, then being eaten may be more likely to cause the transformation spell to be quickly lifted.

And judging from the performance in the book, the duration of transfiguration on living bodies is quite good, but converting dead objects into living things and actively injecting activity through transfiguration is difficult to last.

Professor McGonagall finally sighed: "Although I said that the spell of creating food is not within the scope of transfiguration;

But I still want to see it with my own eyes when I can create food using only the magic power floating in the environment!

Try the magic bread and magic water for yourself and what it feels like. "

"Here, here you go," Li Fei handed a half-broken piece of bread and a glass of water to Professor McGonagall. "While you were speaking just now, I showed you the bread and water."

Ah this...

Professor McGonagall was heartbroken!
