The first White Lord of Hogwarts

The old man and the young man talked half-jokingly for a few words before they began to teach.

Dumbledore first checked Ivan's current level and found that he had mastered most of the spells in the spell textbook in advance, which surprised him.

"When I was your age, I didn't have so much magic."

Dumbledore sighed and asked,"So Ivan, what do you think magic is?"

What is magic?

If we exclude the idealistic part of this question, Ivan's summary can be roughly summarized in one sentence:"It is the realization of your wishes."

"Yes, it's all your wish."

Dumbledore did not hide anything. He first showed Ivan a silent and wandless spell, turning a candlestick into a lifelike owl.

Ivan turned on his magic eye and spiritual vision, and carefully observed the owl, discovering the magical halo emanating from it and the traces of magic hidden in its body.

It was delicate and complete, almost indistinguishable from a real owl.

"So amazing."

Ivan has always known how powerful Dumbledore is.

However, when he really met him, Ivan was still shocked by the old man's high level of magic.

This is Transfiguration, a magic that requires the combination of thinking, will, and magic.

In Ivan's opinion, Transfiguration is a magic system with a very low lower limit but a very high upper limit, and many magics contain the shadow of Transfiguration.

"This is the limit of my Transfiguration, Ivan, do you understand me?"

"Well..."

Ivan asked,"Because it's fake after all, right?"

""That's right."

Dumbledore smiled and nodded. He was very optimistic about Ivan.

In addition, Dumbledore adopted a completely different attitude towards Ivan from Voldemort, that is, trust and sincerity.

The old man did not hide anything and said bluntly:"The basis of Transfiguration is the change of physical form."

The so-called physical form refers to the appearance, but it does not have real functions.

"Above that, there is the transformation of essence."

For example, a stone can be transformed into a clock, which can be used as a real clock while the magic power remains.

"Higher-level Transfiguration involves the mind.

That is, the transformed object has its own thoughts, such as the Sorting Hat and Ron's flying car.

"For example, the paintings here.

Dumbledore gestured to Ivan to look at the portraits of the headmaster on the surrounding walls:"A magical portrait that can speak and has self-awareness, and is also a product of Transfiguration."

In Dumbledore's summary, the above three stages are not difficult for Ivan at all.

The only difference is how much time Ivan needs to spend to fully master them.

"As for what happens after that…"

At this point, Dumbledore glanced at Ivan and said,"Minerva told me that you can change your appearance?"

"Yes, the book says this is called Transfiguration Magus, a natural magical ability."

Suddenly, Ivan reacted:"You mean, Magus Transfiguration is a higher level of Transfiguration?"

"Permanent transformation!"

Before Dumbledore could speak, Ivan had already understood that the fourth realm was fundamentally different from the previous three levels:"I changed my appearance in the true sense, and it does not require magic to maintain it."

This also means that as long as Ivan does not change back, he can even live his whole life in the appearance of someone else.

"You are really smart, Ivan."

Dumbledore praised:"As you think, Metamorphosis and Animagus transformation, the former can completely change a person's appearance, and it will not be like this owl, which has a time limit."

Similarly, the animals that Animagus transforms into can maintain the form of that animal forever.

Not only that, take Professor McGonagall as an example.

After this old cat lady turned into a cat, catnip is also effective for her.

Because from a biological point of view, Animagus transformation is completely transformed into a certain animal.

From the inside out, even the genes have changed.

"Unfortunately, except for Animagus, wizards have never been able to master the true meaning of Transfiguration."

"Except..."

Dumbledore paused, and Ivan immediately thought of what he was going to say:"The Philosopher's Stone?"

"......"

Dumbledore was a little surprised. He didn't expect Ivan's thinking to be so sharp.

According to Dumbledore's original idea, he wanted to arouse Ivan's interest through today's teaching so that he could participate in Harry Potter's adventure.

Of course, Dumbledore would not let Ivan really participate. After all, he was too supermodel.

The levels arranged on the fourth floor were no different from playing house in front of Ivan.

Dumbledore just hoped that Ivan could give Harry a little help, or stay with him to look after him.

Unfortunately, the plan was declared over before it even started.

"The Philosopher's Stone made by Nicolas Flamel has the effect of turning stone into gold and making the elixir of life."

The Philosopher's Stone, also known as the Philosopher's Stone and the Fifth Element, is the highest realm of alchemy.

Apart from anything else, just turning stone into gold is a permanent transformation of the material level, which is something that contemporary wizards cannot do.

Following this topic, Dumbledore began to explain the basics of magic to Ivan.

Yes, the basics, and the most basic part.

Ivan did not dislike it, but listened very seriously.

Because this knowledge came from Dumbledore, it was the valuable experience he summed up over the years.

From Dumbledore, Ivan learned the principles of wizards' spellcasting, which benefited him a lot, and even improved his level of wandless spellcasting.

"Professor, is there a higher level above permanent deformation?"

"Hmm…"

Dumbledore thought for a moment. He did not answer immediately, but asked Ivan not to go too deep:"In the wizarding world, there is an insurmountable problem, that is magic transformation."

"Magical Transformation?"

Ivan didn't understand the meaning of this word for a moment:"What is Magical Transformation?"

"Fawkes."

Dumbledore called over the dozing phoenix Fawkes, who landed on the desk singing a sweet song.
