The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 249 About Transfiguration

After the Potions exam, the wizards who walked out of the classroom were all sighing.

Snape's insane exam questions also sounded the alarm for young wizards.

That is, not all professors are as kind as Professor Pomona Sprout and Professor Xia Ti.

And soon, this assertion was confirmed.

In the afternoon's Transfiguration class exam, the theoretical part alone had already made most young wizards' scalps tingle.

After getting the test paper, Melda read it carefully from the beginning before starting to answer.

Summarize this test in one sentence.

If someone can get a perfect score on this test, then he is only a little luck away from mastering the Animagus.

Melda seriously suspected that Professor McGonagall didn't want any little wizard to pass the exam at all.

Na na!Professor Snape, it turns out that we still misunderstood you, at least we knew about your exam questions a week ago.You can still practice for a week.

Professor McGonagall doesn't make sense.This test paper is given to the seventh grade, and wizards who take the NEWT course may not be able to get full marks.

This is only the second grade!What's the meaning?
Not only Melda, but the other little wizards who got the test questions almost collapsed directly.

Mom, I don't think I'm suitable for Hogwarts, why don't we transfer schools.

However, after answering the first five test questions, Melda discovered the tricks in the test paper.

Because the sixth question is very simple.

—Describes the theory of spellcasting for elementary transformations.

Immediately after the seventh question, it changed back to the content of the NEWT course.

The following exam questions also follow this rule, one difficult and one simple.

Melda guessed that the simple one might be the real exam paper, and the other questions should be confusing options.

However, this test paper is indeed very suitable for his own taste. Although the difficulty is a bit high for him, it is not impossible to answer.

"professor!"

A brisk voice suddenly came from the quiet professor.

Everyone immediately looked around, only to see Melda holding her right hand high.

In this regard, everyone was shocked, no way, you have already finished answering, you are ready to hand in the paper!

So scary?
"What's the matter?" Professor McGonagall sat on a chair beside the lecture table, wearing a dark green robe and square glasses, giving off a serious and reserved demeanor.

At this time, she was looking up at Melda with a pair of puzzled eyes.

"Can you give me a blank scroll? This is not enough!" Melda said with a smile, pointing to the examination paper on her desk.

"Yes!" After saying that, Professor McGonagall waved the magic wand in his hand, and a blank scroll fell on the desk and fell in front of Melda.

"Thank you!"

Then Melda picked up the quill again.Buried in the ocean of answers.

Then the classroom immediately returned to a dead silence.

Professor McGonagall is a very strict person. She cannot tolerate any unruly behavior. During class, no one dares to interrupt casually, let alone during the exam. Professor Ge directly kicked out of the examination room and pronounced a zero score.

This is why everyone is afraid to speak out.

As for Melda, the reason why she needs a new scroll is because the last question in the test paper is very interesting.

This question is short and simple.

——Theoretical skills and existing problems of wizards transforming metal products.

There is no doubt that Professor McGonagall must be a loyal reader of "Contemporary Transfiguration", because this title is from this week's issue.

It was also a coincidence that Melda saw that journal.

It was Harry who bought it. After he cut out the section about Sirius' acquittal, he put the rest on the table in the common room. Melda was also free and had a quick memory After acquiring the skills, he has a little obsessive-compulsive disorder in reading, and he is willing to read as long as it has text.

The test questions are hidden in the second edition of this issue of "Contemporary Transfiguration".

The editor first told the true story.

That's right, a few months ago, a well-known French transfiguration master casually transformed a gold Galleon into an admission ticket when he participated in a Muggle opera. One of Gua's machines unexpectedly detects his disguise.

After further understanding, the master learned that the machine was called a metal detector, and the entrance ticket he had used to disguise himself using the transfiguration technique was actually recognized by this machine to identify the essence of metal.

This made the master fall into deep thinking.

Ultimately it raises the ultimate question about Transfiguration, and what the nature of transfiguration is.

And that article also gave a superficial answer to this question.

Going back to the test questions of Melda's exam, the questions Professor McGonagall asked are almost replicas of the doubts raised by the master.

Both thought about the nature of Transfiguration.

But none of them touched the essence.

On the one hand, the basic research in the magic world is too poor, and on the other hand, they overemphasize the role of magic while ignoring the physical rules of the substance itself.

In fact, these two questions belong to the same thing, that is, whether Transfiguration can shake the atomic structure of matter.

And Melda can just answer this question.

The answer is no.

But there are some other super-standard things, such as the magic touch of the Philosopher's Stone, which really changes the arrangement of atoms and molecules of matter.Turn other objects into metal, the change is permanent.

But other than that, there is no magic or magic item in the known wizarding world that can shake the atomic structure.

It is true that Transfiguration cannot change the atomic structure of an item, but Alchemy can.

In essence, the limit of transfiguration can reach the level of changing the arrangement of molecules. This limit magic is the Animagus.

But, only at the molecular level, since wizards cannot Animagus a single stone.

Others, whether it is "Basic Transformation Guide" or "Advanced Transformation Guide", all the magic taught can be classified as illusion.

Turning stones into bread, no matter how delicate and lifelike the bread is, it is still a stone in essence, and it cannot be digested after eating, and it may even be strangled to death.

So can Transfiguration be created out of nothing?Or give life?
The answer is of course no. Whether it is creating something out of nothing or giving life, this is beyond the limit that magic can achieve.

The essence of magic power is a kind of energy. This energy cannot be created out of nothing, and wizards also abide by the conservation of energy.

It's just that the magic power required by modern spells has been improved for a long time, and both the power and consumption have been greatly reduced.That's why there is a phenomenon of a teenage little wizard releasing advanced spells.

And the most interesting spell among them is the Fiercefire Curse.
