"Karl, I read The Theory of Magic, but I still have a problem."

As soon as get out of class ended, Hermione walked over to Carl.

Before Karl could respond, a girl rushed out from the side, put her hands on Hermione's shoulders, and said with a smile: "I also want to meet the person who proposed the phased test. Hermione, please help me too." Let me introduce you."

Hermione smiled helplessly at Karl and said, "This is Parvati Patil."

"Hello, Carl Joyce." Parvati, he still knew, was the Gryffindor beauty from India.

Parvati smiled brightly and her smile was pleasant: "Can I call you Carl like Hermione?"

Karl said: "Of course no problem."

Hermione glanced at Parvati and said, "Why aren't you with Lavender?"

Lavender Brown, Parvati's best friend, and now plus her, the three of them share a dormitory.

Normally Parvati and Lavender were almost inseparable, but now Lavender was not seen.

Parvati showed a gossipy look and said: "She said she had something to do and left first, but I saw that the direction she left was in the same direction as Potter and Weasley. I think she fell in love with Potter, hehe. , observe her more in the future.”

"Parvati, you are so evil..." Hermione changed the topic: "But I like it!"

Just after laughing twice, Hermione realized that Carl and his roommates were still there. She quickly suppressed her slightly obscene smile and said: "Carl, according to your prompt, I went to read "Magic Theory". We saw this explanation in Chapter 1 The Origin of Magic: The soul is the source of magic, and blood is the carrier of magic..."

Sure enough, gossiping is human nature. Looking at Hermione who was forcing herself to be serious, Carl sighed in his heart.

Thanks to the introduction of phased tests, Hermione's situation in Gryffindor has been much better. With such a top student, this group of little lions can see the opportunity to compete for the top student, and can also tutor them. , so that their results will not be too ugly.

He estimated that he probably couldn't wait for the opportunity for the trio to fight the mountain monster.

Maybe even the trio is gone. After all, without the opportunity of the mountain monster, the friendship of the trio will not be able to break through.

But these are all things for later. What he is sure of now is that Parvati guessed wrong. Lavender likes Ron.

Hermione quoted the original sentence of "The Theory of Magic" and said: "I initially thought that the reason why transfiguration cannot be used on magical creatures is because magical creatures have souls."

Carl nodded. Hermione was looking at the right place and understood correctly.

Magic, as the core of wizard power, research on magic has never stopped.

The most authoritative explanation now is that magic comes from the soul, but the power of the soul is spiritual power and cannot directly affect reality. It requires a material carrier, and this carrier is blood. When spiritual power is blended into the blood, magic is formed.

Therefore, even if the body is damaged, as long as the soul is fine, it can be regenerated using magic.

But if the soul is damaged, even if the body is intact, it is useless.

The reason why Animagus is dangerous is that it not only changes the body, but also changes the soul.

Hermione said distressedly: "But there is another problem. Creatures such as lions and tigers also have souls, and they are not magical creatures."

"This is not the place for discussion. Let's change places. How about the library?" Karl suggested.

"I have no problem," Hermione said.

"I don't have a problem either." Parvati raised her hand and replied.

Karl looked at Klaus, Weber and Edwin, and they were all willing to join him.

Only then did he suddenly remember that he hadn't introduced Klaus to Hermione and Parvati yet.

After a brief introduction, the differences between the three people were obvious. Edwin was a familiar person and quickly started chatting with Parvati. Weber was okay and could participate in the chat, but Klaus was too different. Completely different from the composure I had when facing Terry before!

Karl knew that Klaus did not have social difficulties, but a phobia of girls.

There was chatting and laughing along the way, except for Klaus, who seemed particularly reserved.

Karl mourned in his heart for the Shafiq family.

In the library, under the watchful eye of Mrs. Pince, they found an empty table in the reading area.

Karl said: "You are thinking in the right direction. Let's first refine the main body in the origin of magic power in Chapter 1 of "Magic Theory". There are three parts: soul, blood, and magic power. We can conclude that the soul uses blood as the carrier to give birth to magic power. in conclusion."

Hermione listened carefully, and this was the conclusion she came to, but here she got stuck.

Others also took out "Magic Theory" to read it.

Everyone has a herd mentality, not only in the consumer mentality, but also in the field of learning.

See that everyone around you is learning, even those who don’t want to learn will follow suit.

What's more, Klaus and the others are all motivated, only Edwin and Weber are slightly lacking.

Karl continued: "But there is a problem here, which is what you encountered. We still deduce from the conclusion that creatures with souls and blood do not necessarily have magic power. There is still a key element missing. Here we must go Look at Chapter 4 of "Magic Theory" about the active role of consciousness. Of course, you can also learn from the Muggle world's explanation of consciousness..."

Hermione quickly took out "Theory of Magic" and turned to Chapter 4.

1. Consciousness is the product of the long-term development of the material world;

2. Consciousness is a function of humans and magical creatures;

3. Consciousness is a reflection of objective existence.

Karl pointed to the second point and said: "This is different from the explanation in the Muggle world. The explanation in the Muggle world is that consciousness is a function of the human brain. Only with the human brain can one have consciousness. Others can only be called reaction characteristics, but here is The wizarding world, so..."

Hermione reacted immediately: "So the concept of consciousness extends from the human brain to magical creatures!"

Karl nodded and said: "Yes, so there are three elements for the birth of magic, soul, consciousness, and blood. Consciousness is the bridge connecting the soul and blood, so if you cast a deformation spell on a magical creature, you will encounter a deformation of consciousness. Once the two consciousnesses Conflict is a very dangerous thing!”

Hermione suddenly realized: "That's it, Carl, you are so awesome!"

Karl smiled: "Actually, you will know if you read more books. In fact, we can also get clues from the "Elementary Transfiguration Guide". In the classification of transfiguration in Chapter 2, transfiguration is divided into four levels."

He still had the "Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration" with him, turned to Chapter 2 and handed it to Hermione.

1. Deformation of dead objects;

2. Deformation of lower animals;

3. Deformation of higher animals;

4. Animagus.

"The grading of transfiguration is actually the process of consciousness development, from the initial reaction characteristics, to the biological stimulus sensitivity, to the animal's feelings and psychology, and finally to consciousness..."
