Following Elena's answer, Dumbledore tapped his fingers on the glass test tube.
The bunch of shiny black dust slowly swirled up, and a little bit of crystal brilliance floated on the top layer - it was diamond particles mixed in the graphite dust.
You know, the convenience of magic is that as long as the conclusion is clearly determined, it often only requires an idea to verify it.
There is no doubt that Elena's guess is not wrong.
Because of her previous "incomplete transformation technique", the original chemical bonds of the wood fibers that made up the main body of the match were completely broken, and the solid dust left behind were mainly graphite crystals and diamond particles with relatively high stability.
"Thank you for your candidness, Miss Kaslana...it's such a beautiful color."
Looking at the diamond particles rising and falling in the test tube, as if confirming some idea, Dumbledore took a deep breath. The wrinkles on his face outlined shadows like totem patterns in the midday sun.
"It's amazing, it's quite amazing. There are not many wizards in the magic world today who can achieve this level of success."
Dumbledore looked at Elena with his blue eyes and said softly, "But it is also the most terrifying and dangerous way... Miss Kaslana, I think you should do something about this yourself."
Have you felt it already?"
"Yes, that's terrible, Professor."
Elena slowly rubbed her temples and showed a wry smile.
You must know that in her previous life, she was just an ordinary master's degree in quantitative economics, neither a physics nor a mathematics department. Although quantitative economics had some exposure to a certain degree of mathematics courses, if it is strictly classified according to the economics major, she is still
It belongs to the category of Master of Arts.
Compared with those terrible Master of Science (Master of Science), and even the Department of Mathematics, which has almost become another species, the Department of Physics (Philosophic Doctor), she naturally has no concept of some basic physical and mathematical phenomena.
So sensitive - this is like studying Nuwa's creation of humans. Who would consider what it would be like to pinch two atomic nuclei together?
"Transfiguration is indeed a very complex and dangerous magic. Obviously, I should be more cautious and try it from the most basic areas first, rather than jumping from the starting point to the end at once."
Elena, who gradually came back to her senses, said with a frightened look on her face that this might be the weakest time in her life.
Although her body's self-protection allowed her to interrupt the subsequent magic process in time, whether she was forcibly disintegrating chemical bonds or trying to modify substances at the microscopic level, it caused a serious load on Elena's body.
Even after she had rested for a while and drank the strange potion brought by Madam Pomfrey, she still felt a helpless emptiness permeating her whole body, as if all her cells were empty shells.
Even moving my fingers feels like moving in mud.
"Be cautious, but don't be too afraid. In fact, I don't object to you exploring magic and trying it, but not now."
Dumbledore raised his eyebrows, crossed his slender fingers on his knees, and had a complicated expression on his face.
As an educator, when facing those students who are so outstanding that people can’t help but admire them, there will always be a subtle feeling that they should retire, and this is particularly obvious when facing Elena.
"I have to say, you are the most talented wizard I have ever seen. As far as I know, there has never been a witch in the history of Hogwarts who could do such a thing in the first Transfiguration class - it's just,
It's too early for you now. You are not ready to enter this field."
"Don't worry, I'm not a masochist. Having such an uncomfortable experience once is enough..."
Elena moved her wrist, glanced at the serious-looking old man sitting on the bed next door, and curled her lips.
"Cough cough cough... interrupt me."
At this moment, Grindelwald, who was standing aside, cleared his throat and spread his hands in displeasure.
"Excuse me, could you explain it a little first? It's just a failed transformation. In my opinion, with Elena's ability, there is nothing strange about blowing the desk into dust... I don't believe it.
Albus, you didn't accidentally blow up the teaching props when you were studying - when you were baking bread, you almost... hmm? What does this mean?"
Grindelwald raised his eyebrows and looked at the black dust that Dumbledore poured into his hands.
"This is the remains left on the table after Elena cast a spell on the match."
Dumbledore patiently poured the last bit of graphite dust into the middle of Grindelwald's palm, flicked the outer wall of the glass test tube with his fingers, shrugged and said softly.
"So, do you think that with your ability, you can turn it back into a match?"
"Wrong transfiguration will lead to irreversible, random magical effects. If you want me to cast the spell, you should at least give me a transfiguration product that still carries the magic mark, instead of a bunch of things that no one knows about.
How did you get the magic ember?"
Grindelwald glanced at Dumbledore, not even bothering to take out his wand, and replied with a hint of sarcasm.
Although transfiguration is not Grindelwald's forte, he is still quite clear about some basic magical concepts. The reason why transfiguration is so dangerous is that, unlike other spells, it may produce some...
Irreversible permanent deformation - Generally speaking, this kind of reverse undoing is almost impossible to achieve, because every mistake is different.
"Who told you that Elena cast a transformation spell?"
Dumbledore shook his head, pointed his wand at the wooden decoration placed on the bedside table, and moved his lips slightly, seeming to mutter a rare spell silently.
The next moment, the wooden sculpture carved into the shape of a bouquet made a soft "pop" sound, quickly disintegrated into powder, and silently piled up on the cabinet - except for the difference in quantity, it was different from the small one in Grindelwald's hand.
A pinch of graphite dust is almost identical.
"Mr. Otto, you are one of the most ancient alchemists in the world. You should know that a long time ago, alchemy and transfiguration actually meant the same thing."
Dumbledore glanced meaningfully at Elena, whose pupils were slightly widened, and then returned his gaze to Grindelwald. This time, he revealed the final answer directly without any further explanation.
"In the ancient advanced alchemy, the most basic link was to turn objects into the most basic components of dust - the dissociation spell. Because it has no unbreakable spell and is irreversible, it is uniformly defined by the Ministry of Magic of various countries as
Sealed by black magic."
Having said this, Dumbledore glanced at Elena helplessly, his voice a little tired.
"Obviously, the Ministry of Magic can only ban people from using and learning it, but it cannot prevent someone... from re-creating it."
