Chapter 49 Five Exceptions to the Fundamental Law of Gamp's Transformation

"Can you explain your thesis?" Professor McGonagall struggled out of the "subway, old man, mobile phone" state.For a while, she thought that the child in front of her was scribbling.

Lu Ren did not scribble, he came prepared.

His physical chemistry is not bad - physical chemistry here is a class, not physics and chemistry, Lu Ren's physics is quite average.

"Professor, you want to turn a match into a needle. In my opinion, this involves the transformation of the substance itself. I want to break the chemical bonds of cellulose, potassium chlorate and other substances in the match to obtain atoms such as carbon atoms and oxygen atoms, and then Turning the molecules themselves into iron atoms..."

Professor McGonagall's expression gradually became dull.

Professor McGonagall: (⊙_⊙;)

what is this?

'Looks like he's not quite the same as those three little brats...' thought Professor McGonagall.

"Trying to use science to explain magic is stupid, dear Mr. Lu. There are many predecessors who tried to take such a road, but in the end their attempts failed. You are an extremely talented wizard, I hope you don't mistake yourself."

After she finished speaking, she took a complicated look at Lu Ren, who was sitting in the first row with a serious face, and the three little wizards beside him who had fallen into confusion.

She tapped on the desk next to her lightly: "That's all for today's homework inspection. I hope you can seriously complete the homework I assigned and don't plagiarize. If you let me see this kind of similar homework again, then Sending you to accompany Mr Weasley and Ms Granger."

The little wizards in the back row were shocked.They cast grateful glances at Lu Ren and the others: Heroes, you are heroes!Thanks to Weasley, who sacrificed himself to help others.You will always live in our memories.

Professor McGonagall glanced at Lu Ren, still a little worried. She decided to give Lu Ren a popular science about the consequences of the failure of the transfiguration technique, so that the child would not want to conduct various experiments.

"According to legend, there once lived two feuding wizarding families on the island of Delia: the McBoones and the McLevors.

In a wizarding duel, the head of the McBone family, Gintus McBone, killed Dugald McIver, the head of the McBone family.

In retaliation, members of the McLeever clan attacked the McBoon clan and turned all of its members into five-legged monsters.

It turned out that the McLevors were no match for the five-legged monsters at all. When they wanted to transform the McBoones back, they found that the transfiguration couldn't be reversed.In the end, the McLevor clan was wiped out by the five-legged monster.

The consequences of failure to transform are extremely serious, and I hope you don't try indiscriminately. "Professor McGonagall calmed down the scene with real examples. Looking at the well-behaved Lu Ren, she felt that her goal had been achieved.

Just as she was about to get the Transfiguration class back on track, the well-behaved Lu Ren raised his hand again to apply for a speech.

Professor McGonagall took a deep breath to calm herself down, and she secretly swore that if Lu Ren was using Muggle science as an excuse this time, then she couldn't be blamed for being merciless!

"Professor, what exactly is Transfiguration?"

This question is not bad, Professor McGonagall breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that the child would ask her to answer the transformation process of wood and iron.

"Transfiguration has many branches, the main one is the magic spell that changes perception and things themselves, but the essence of things will not change. Do you understand when I say this? There are three kinds of transformations, ordinary transformation, semi-permanent transformation and permanent transformation. The only difference is the length of time the deformed objects last. Basically, ordinary wizards can achieve semi-permanent transformation with 'a little' training, but almost no one can achieve permanent transformation.

No matter what kind of transfiguration, you must follow the basic rules of Gamp's transfiguration.Now that we have talked about this today, I will give you a general introduction to the five exceptions to the basic rules of Gamp's transformation, so as not to entangle you any longer.

First, wizards cannot conjure food and drink out of thin air, nor can they turn other things into food.Even if you turn the table into a cake and eat it, you can't absorb nutrients, because it's just a pile of wood. ,

Second, living and dead objects cannot be transformed permanently.I did turn the desk into a pig last class, but when my magic goes off, it still turns into a table.Even if you cast a demolition spell on a pig, you end up with a pile of wooden table fragments instead of the remains of the pig.

Third, Transfiguration cannot conjure magical items such as broomsticks. Some countries like to throw gold Galleons in Quidditch matches, and that is the transformed Gold Galleons.It will disappear over time - the Ministry of Magic of many countries prohibits this transformation.

Fourth, deformation cannot change the quantity.A match can only become a needle.

Fifth, Transfiguration is not created out of nothing, which overlaps with the first one a bit.But this is very important.These are the five exceptions to the basic law of Gump's metamorphosis.

Mr. Lu, I hope you are all right. "Professor McGonagall has already begun to organize the matches that will be used later.

Lu Ren smiled and accepted it all.Maybe a wizard with powerful mana can change the nature of matter, but ordinary transfiguration spells are nothing more than changing the appearance of things-although it is still magical, it is not so shocking.

As the saying goes, if this thing sounds like a sheep, walks like a sheep, and looks like a sheep, then it is a sheep.

Turning a match into a needle is nothing more than making a match look, feel, and smell like a needle.Its essence is still a match.As for turning into a living thing, it is only the magic power at work, just like a human controlling a drone, the drone is flying regularly, but it has no life, and the one who is really alive is the controller.When the magic dissipates, the object returns to its essence.

As for the appearance of the object, it is still testing the imagination of the caster.The more detailed the details, the more realistic the item will be.

After Lu Ren figured it out, his thoughts became clear and he was in a good mood.

It happened that Professor McGonagall distributed the matches for everyone to practice. Lu Ren picked up his wand and recalled the appearance of the embroidery needle in his mind: "VeraVerto"

The match began to twist, and then turned into a needle with a beautiful pattern on it.

'Yes, exactly as I imagined. 'Lu Ren smiled happily.I can try to conjure up a few figures in the future.

Professor McGonagall also smiled happily.The kid has a clue.

"Good job. Compared with the last class, it can be said that it has improved rapidly. Five points for Gryffindor!"

In the last class, like most little wizards, Lu Ren stared at the match and couldn't make it change.Now after untying the knot in my heart, I succeeded all at once.

Another happy lesson, only Ron and Hermione's injured world is complete!
