Ryan nodded. He put the matter of the life-extending potion aside and asked another question that concerned him.

"Ms. Ravenclaw, are there any other ways to change a person's appearance besides Polyjuice Potion?"

He doesn't want the people in the monastery to know his true identity yet.

"Polyjuice Potion is the most convenient." Ravenclaw said, "If you are worried that Polyjuice Potion will affect the effect of the ritual, there is absolutely no need. The important thing about the ritual is the steps, and what cannot go wrong are only the key points in the steps. Otherwise, almost all wizards would be unable to use ritual magic because most wizards would have residue of the potion in their bodies.”

"That's not what I'm worried about." Ryan said, "I'm just afraid that when the ceremony is halfway through, the polyjuice potion will lose its effectiveness. If it fails, it's fine. If it scares the person hosting the ceremony and causes the ceremony to fail, then that's not the case. Wonderful."

Ravenclaw nodded: "If that's the case, I can tell you a few ways, but generally speaking, they are more troublesome."

"You can tell me." Ryan said, "I can also learn more relevant knowledge."

"The first method is body transfiguration." said Ravenclaw, "but there are risks with this method, especially when you turn yourself into another person. If you want to use this method, my advice is , ask your principal to transform for you."

"If necessary, I will ask Professor Dumbledore." Ryan said.

Ravenclaw nodded and said calmly: "The second option, the transformation potion, can change a person's gender, which can change a person's appearance to a great extent."

Ryan's legs tightened slightly, and he asked carefully: "Is this deformation permanent?"

"Of course." Ravenclaw replied, "Isn't what you need a plan without time limit?"

"I don't think I would consider this option." Ryan said quickly.

"But I think this is the most convenient solution." Ravenclaw said, "The trouble is only in collecting the potion ingredients, but since you can collect all the ingredients for the potion, I think this potion The materials should be no problem.”

Ryan waved his hand: "I don't want to experience the life of another gender yet."

Ravenclaw finally understood Ryan's concerns, and her tone fluctuated slightly: "You can completely change into a woman and then drink the transformation potion to change back again."

For some reason, Ryan seemed to hear a hint of smile in Ravenclaw's tone.

"If I can change back, I can consider it..." Ryan thought for a while and shook his head violently, "No, I think it's better to forget it."

His knees had come together.

"Then the last option is to become a Metamorphmagus." Ravenclaw said.

"Isn't the Disguise Magus innate?" Ryan asked with some confusion.

"Yes, Disguise Magus is innate." Ravenclaw said, "So, this is a talent."

"Soul inheritance?" Ryan's eyes lit up, "Do you have the soul inheritance of Disguise Mags?"

It would be great if you could become a Disguisemagus, and you would be able to do it once and for all, without having to worry about disguise.

Ravenclaw shook his head: "I am not a Disguise Magus, and there is no Disguise Magus among the founders of Hogwarts. So, if you want to get the Disguise Magus, For soul inheritance, you need to try your luck and find it outside the school."

Ryan's excited eyes dimmed immediately, and he sighed: "This does not seem to be a solution to the current problem. Does it have to be soul inheritance to become a Disguise Magus?"

"No, soul inheritance is only the mildest ritual, and it is not low in difficulty." Ravenclaw said, "This inheritance method requires the inheritor to voluntarily donate part of his soul as a carrier, and it is the method with the least harm to both parties. There are certainly other ways besides that."

"Those methods are definitely not as kind as soul inheritance." Ryan sighed, and he understood the underlying meaning of Ravenclaw's words.

"You are right." Ravenclaw said, "In fact, there are very few spells involving the soul that are not black magic. The so-called talent is actually a certain quality that can be bound to the soul. You have to obtain a certain A talent, in a certain sense, you are equivalent to acquiring part of someone’s soul.”

Ryan immediately thought of Harry Potter. By chance, this boy who survived was given part of his soul by Voldemort and became Voldemort's Horcrux. However, in contrast, he also acquired Voldemort's Parseltongue. talent.

"Avada Kedavra?" Ryan asked. He remembered that the last time Ravenclaw answered Dumbledore's question, he once said that the soul of a person hit by the Kedavra did not dissipate, but was imprisoned in the caster. inside the body of the surgeon.

"Yes, using Avada Kedavra to deprive people of their souls is one of the ways." Ravenclaw said, "But this is not enough, because a complete soul has its own will and may even backfire on the caster. Soul fragments are the best solution, but this also has disadvantages, that is, there is a certain probability that you will not be able to obtain the talent. After all, it is just a fragment."

"This method is not suitable for me." Ryan said, "At least, I don't plan to become a dark wizard just yet."

"Wise decision." Ravenclaw said, "After all, I don't know if anyone has mastered the method of destroying the soul without damaging the talent. Moreover, the more complex the soul, the greater the harm to wizards."

"Is there no such problem with soul inheritance?" Ryan asked.

Ravenclaw nodded: "This is the benefit of soul inheritance, because it requires the voluntary contribution of the inheritor, and the ceremony itself is the process of soul fusion."

Ryan understood the difference: "In other words, except for soul inheritance, the consequences of other methods are that one person contains multiple souls and cannot be integrated."

"It's not wrong for you to think so." Ravenclaw said, "However, if you can convince the person you killed to voluntarily donate his soul to you, then there is a way to fuse it."

"I think this kind of difficulty is even greater than completing the ritual of soul inheritance." Ryan said, "I think it's better to forget about the disguised Magus. If you are looking for soul inheritance, I don't know how long it will take, and let me kill him." An innocent wizard, even more impossible for me to do."

"So, what is your choice?" Ravenclaw asked.

Why is it that there seems to be a subtle excitement in Ms. Ravenclaw's calm voice?

Ryan smiled bitterly: "Ms. Ravenclaw, isn't there a ritual that can change your appearance?"

"Of course there is such a ritual." Ravenclaw said, "But the limitations and risks are no different from the plan I mentioned. Do you remember what I said? The potion itself has a certain ritual meaning in it."

She paused and explained in detail: "One of the ritual principles of changing appearance is human body transformation, but you need to bear greater risks than body transformation, because modern human body transformation is obviously much more sophisticated; second, it is and It’s the same as Polyjuice Potion, the limitation is also a matter of time limit; thirdly, it is a kind of light and shadow magic, but it also has a time limit issue, and it is not stable. As for the other plans, they all have a hint of black magic."

"I think it's better to choose human body transformation." Ryan said, "After all, as far as I know, human body transformation is quite safe."

"Most of the time, as long as the rules of transformation are strictly followed, transfiguration is relatively safe." Ravenclaw said, "However, I said that human transformation is an exception. Otherwise, there would be no Polyjuice Potion." Anyone can become a Metamorphmagus if necessary.”

"Are there any restrictions on human body transformation?" Ryan asked.

"As far as I know, except for local deformation, any complete human body deformation requires the help of external force. You cannot deform yourself." Ravenclaw said, "Because you need to use magic to deform, but the deformation also affects you. This leads to a paradox. The method of external force is not limited to any form, it can be other people, it can be rituals, it can also be magic potions."
