Chapter 304 Disfigurement
What is the essence of deformity? This is a very important question.
This is not only related to the basis of the universe's construction, but also to the possibility of transformation meeting the growing material and cultural needs of human society, especially the yearning for delicious food.
On this subject, before this, Elena actually had quite a few speculations.
For example, some kind of deep and ghostly magic is similar to the legendary pseudo-prostitute who is an expert in makeup and false sounds. It can deceive the five senses of the magical version of the method of blindness. Separation and reorganization, true change of creation; or short-term material replacement, just like the Avatar in "Naruto"...
Regardless of the interpretation, an exact answer will cause divergent speculation to collapse towards a certain outcome.
More importantly, once some of the speculations have been verified, Elena can do much more than most magicians. This has been preliminarily verified in terms of the power of the explosive spell. Grindelwald himself admits that his explosive spell has risen to an art rather than a simple spell.
If conditions allow, Elena can even attempt to explore and solve some of the century-old problems that have long affected most prominent physicists in the non-magical world.
"A good question, my answer is that both, of course, are not the same as your assumption."
Professor McGonagall nodded in surprise and responded with some thought.
"Strictly speaking, transfiguration can be divided into three categories, ordinary deformation, semi-permanent deformation, and permanent deformation. But usually we will not mention the latter two, because very few people can have that power, especially permanent deformation. The vast majority of cases in which the nature of things is completely changed occur in cases of failure."
"If you can choose Transfiguration after entering the sixth grade, you can easily get answers in the Advanced Transfiguration Guide, because from then on, we will talk a little more about the essence. Thinking..."
Many spells cast by young wizards will not last long.
Even the simplest spell will last at most a few days, and in most cases, it will disappear after a few hours. Not to mention that it is a complex magic like Transfiguration, and the duration of its enchantment may not be enough to cook a dish of instant noodles.
But obviously, Elena was not very satisfied with Professor McGonagall's response.
"Professor, I mean... what happens when we cast the spell?"
According to Elena, at a microscopic level, the magical world's knowledge about the world is still relatively blank.
Therefore, it is difficult for them to imagine what puzzling and curious questions metamorphosis will produce when it involves the formation of the core of matter. Barium, Professor McGonagall cannot answer this question.
However, if replaced with a slightly simpler question, it should be easier to answer.
As she said, Elena lightly tapped the slightly deformed desk in front of her, adding an additional sentence.
"For example, if I turn this table into air, or water vapor or mist..."

A single question should be easier to answer.
"That is one of the magical variants of the Disapparation spell, Transfiguration, which we will learn in the fifth-grade class."
"What if this time, I lit a candle in the air?"
Elena blinked and whispered thoughtfully, "I mean, consumed some air and replaced it with another gas."
"I'm sorry, Miss Caslana, I don't quite understand the meaning of the sentence behind you."
Professor McGonagall found a confusion on her face and shook her head. "But I can tell you that at least for a long time, you just need to remember that we will not change the essence of things as if it were that. Like a poor music stand, everything you do will eventually be reflected in the original articles."
Will it not change the essence of transformation?
In other words, even if it looks like a lion, it remains an inedible piece of wood.
Upon hearing this explanation from Professor McGonagall for the second time today, Elena frowned and lightly tapped the table with her finger.
"So, can I understand it as... the product obtained by transformation has an invisible limit of [capacity], in addition to understanding the spell, beyond its [essential power] beyond reach, which can lead to magical failure? It's like accidentally pushing back the lion whose wooden music stand was transformed."
"In a sense, you can understand it that way."
Looking at the stand still in the corner, Professor McGonagall froze and nodded reluctantly.
"That said, there are five exceptions mentioned in Gamp's Fundamental Law of Transfiguration. In fact, part of the reason is the same. For example, a wizard cannot conjure food out of thin air. ~ .me ~ Of course, it belongs to a very serious harm."
Elena sighed sadly and furrowed her brow.
In other words, as if Newton's law only applies to the realm of classical mechanics, the most accurate statement of Gamp's Fundamental Law of Transfiguration should be limited to the realm of non-permanent deformation.
There is no doubt that the big white pig that looked quite cute a moment ago, that is, a product that can be seen and cannot be eaten, if it is really bitten, could turn into a pile of wood chips in the mouth. Although upon careful thought, whether in the previous life or in this life, when in elementary school, she secretly chewed on various desks for various reasons.
At that moment, she thought about how wonderful it would be if she could turn the desk and the pen cap into mango flavor. Even if she couldn't eat it, it would be a pleasure to suck on it.
As for the permanent transformation...
Upon seeing the indecipherable figure of Professor McGonagall, unless something unexpected happens, she should not have mastered the spell well.
If Elena wishes to change the substance in a real way, she might have to turn to the latest professor of Transfiguration: Albus, the tired and desiring-to-retire Dumbledore.
The question is, what rationale should be used?
You see, because of some minor encounters on campus, Professor Dumbledore's misunderstanding of her is really quite deep. Even a relatively normal academic requirement could give rise to various speculations by the elders.
Roar!
