The fundamental source of this pride is not family background, brain or appearance, but because of the existence of that memory. He may be the only awakened person in this world, the only person with a concept of dimensions.
This makes him often have a condescending attitude when facing other people, but he hides it well and is never noticed by anyone.
From the moment he came into contact with real magic, he was convinced that he would eventually reach the top of magic. In this wizarding society with a very small population and slow development, there must be only a few truly outstanding figures, even Voldemort, the majority of them.
Erwin also felt that the Dark Lord, whose name no one dared to mention, was very unrealistic, his theoretical basis was rudimentary, and his execution methods were too crude and direct, so he would inevitably be subject to full resistance.
But the reason why the Dark Lord is the Dark Lord is because he is strong enough. No matter how hard the Ministry of Magic tries to build a seemingly normal social framework, the essence of the relationship between wizards is still based on strength. Voldemort does not need any political acumen.
There is no need to win over people's hearts or any mature theoretical system. Just because he can use the Death Curse as easily and quickly as Erwin can use kinetic energy to impart it, a large number of people will take the initiative to surrender to him and worship him like a god.
.
So if his own magic talent is not enough to support him to climb to the top of magic, Erwin must make other considerations. He already has a preliminary understanding of the nature of magic, and has determined that at least the magic power of most creatures should be
They are mainly stored in the blood.
Norberta can absorb the fountain of power without any hindrance. If Erwin wants to do the same, then the method he can choose is...
Of course this wouldn't work. He was just a human and not a high-level insect. It took Erwin five minutes to determine that the only direction that could be considered was transfiguration.
In Erwin's view, Transfiguration is the most incredible existence in magic, involving changes and reorganization at the atomic level. Hogwarts has also set it as a key course. However, completely opposite to its importance, Transfiguration
It doesn't seem to have much effect in practical applications.
Because Professor McGonagall emphasized in the first class that transfiguration cannot generate magic power out of thin air.
The effects of transformation spells can often be replaced by specialized spells. For example, when you want to cut a piece of steak, it is obviously more convenient to directly use the cutting spell than to turn the fork into a knife and then cut it with force.
In short, this is a kind of academic theoretical magic.
Therefore, Erwin has never paid much attention to this aspect and has not studied it in depth.
But now he suddenly thought that there are some powerful wizards who can freely switch back and forth between certain animal and human forms. For example, Professor McGonagall likes to turn into a cat in class. This group is called anima.
Gus.
Since I can turn into a cat, can I also turn into a dragon mother?
As soon as this idea appeared, it was like a fire, burning in Erwin's mind.
How to become an Animagus is described in the "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide". This is a textbook that will be used in third grade. Erwin borrowed the Weasley twins' book and started shaking it after reading only one paragraph.
head.
"You have to hold a mandrake blade in your mouth for a month? Then use your own saliva to prepare the potion? And you have to use moonlight to illuminate it? All kinds of inexplicable conditions require it, and it feels like the witchcraft of primitive religion."
Erwin has read too many advanced magic books, and he is sure that real magic knowledge should not be like this.
When Erwin, who had not been seen for half a month, broke into the office, Professor McGonagall couldn't help but feel a jump in her heart.
"The "Intermediate Transfiguration Guide" is indeed an outdated description. It was a method used by wizards hundreds of years ago." As a teacher, she told Erwin dutifully, "The research on magic is advancing with the times.
.Now just prepare a bottle of active transformation potion."
"So, professor, can you give me the formula for the active denatured potion?" Erwin asked expectantly.
"No." Professor McGonagall looked at him sternly, "I remind you, don't think about studying this secretly. Every Animagus must be registered with the Ministry of Magic."
Erwin knew that he was going to the restricted area again.
The library of Hogwarts is simply a treasure trove. Among the many transformation books, Erwin chose one with the weakest magic power fluctuation. With his magic level, he can remove the spell attached to it. This book is called "The Most Transformed Book in History".
"Comprehensive Transformation Tutorial", the name is a bit exaggerated, but it is a formal book, very new, and was published five years ago.
Erwin was not disappointed. This book contained a very detailed description of Animagus. To his expectation, this seemingly superb deformation ability was not particularly difficult to learn, and the active degeneration potion was also
It's not a very precious potion - in fact, its function is to make the drinker more susceptible to transformation and reduce the damage caused by transformation errors. It is very versatile, and it is not even a special potion for practicing Animagus.
As for why there are only seven registered Animagus in this century, it is because this ability has a common problem with transfiguration - its functionality is too useless compared to the cost of learning.
The wizard loses the ability to use magic after turning into an animal. This is easy to understand, because the body structure of animals is completely different from that of humans, and magic cannot be released. After the transformation, the combat power of the Animagus is equal to that of the animal he transformed into.
This is obviously a huge weakening, which is completely different from the transformation of druids in some legendary stories. The main function is to deceive others.
However, the problem is that even if he becomes an Animagus, a wizard can only transform into a specific animal, which makes Animagus unqualified as an ability to hide himself.
Knowing the animal form, this ability has basically no effect, and may even become a weakness - the wizard who transforms into an animal is really too fragile.
There is even a simpler and cruder way to prevent the transformed Animagus from peeping and eavesdropping, which is to use a locking spell to find all nearby non-human animals and then eliminate them all. Erwin believes that Professor McGonagall is
There was no attempt to use cat form to obtain information during the war with the Dark Lord.
In the end, the most important function of this ability may be to avoid attracting the attention of Muggles, but the problem is that Erwin can now name no less than twenty spells that can shield Muggles.
All in all, the functions are limited and the restrictions are too great.
But that's a good thing for Erwin.
In principle, Animagus cannot transform into magical creatures such as fire dragons and trolls. There must have been many wizards in history who have thought about this, but they have all failed, because each magical creature has its own unique magic power.
, transfiguration cannot produce magic power out of thin air.
But this rule doesn't apply to Erwin.
Because he has a fountain of power, pure dragon blood extract.
So if you have enough magic power, can you really transform into a dragon?
This was really a crazy idea. Erwin felt his heart beating rapidly. He looked at Norbeta, and the young dragon returned his ignorant gaze.
Calm down, Erwin told himself, it's best to think twice before implementing this crazy idea.
But the fire in my mind could no longer be suppressed.
Now let's try to make the Activation Transformation Potion. The materials required are very common, and you can even find a lot of them in Hagrid's inventory. As a gamekeeper, he often picks some herbs in the Forbidden Forest, which happens to be cheaper for Erwin.
The observation of Norbert was even more meticulous. Erwin drew many sketches and recorded a lot of data. Now when he closes his eyes, he seems to be able to see the lifelike three-dimensional image of the young dragon.
Transformation is the most powerful spell that tests a wizard's will. There should be no wizard in the world who can control it at the molecular level, so when transforming, you can only imagine what you are changing as much as possible, the more detailed the better.
There is still a problem that Erwin is not sure about, that is, when a person transforms into an animal, the brain must also change, and no other animal has a brain as developed as a human. However, after Professor McGonagall turned into a cat
There is no sign of intellectual impairment, why is that?
This problem bothered Erwin for two days, until he suddenly realized it when he met the almost headless Nick on the way to put the "The Most Comprehensive Transformation Tutorial in History" back to the library.
How could you not have thought of it, soul.
Of course ghosts cannot have brains, but they still have the ability to think and remember.
Animagus' soul remains unchanged when transforming, which is the biggest difference from conventional transformation.
Erwin now wants to add one more thing, magic.
Two days later, the activation and transformation potion was successfully brewed, and it seemed that he could immediately embark on a great adventure and complete an unprecedented feat.
But Erwin is obviously not that advanced. Trying it himself without any data support is simply making fun of his life.
There are ready-made test subjects here. Hagrid brings three live chickens to Norberta every day. These are bought in the nearby village of Hogsmeade. The chickens Hagrid raises are not enough to consume two or three young dragons a day.
Chickens should be related to dragons to some extent, so there should be no problem in using them for experiments.
Erwin put a homemade feeder on a hen, poured a bottle of Activating Transformation Potion and a few drops of the Fountain of Power into it, then took out his wand and cast the Animagus Transformation spell.
However, he only waved his wand halfway when the poor bird in front of him began to burst into flames. It quickly spontaneously ignited and turned into a pile of charcoal in a matter of seconds.
It's normal to fail, but it's completely impossible to succeed the first time.
Norberta screamed aggrievedly twice in the cage, that was her dinner.
