Chapter 306 Black Magic? Transfiguration?
Hogwarts, school infirmary.
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 was mainly graphite crystals and diamond particles with relatively high stability.
"Thank you for your candor, Miss Kaslana... 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 do this."
Dumbledore looked at Elena with his blue eyes and said softly, "But it is also the most terrifying and dangerous way... Miss Caslana, I think, regarding this, you should 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 was slightly exposed to a certain degree of mathematics courses, if it is strictly classified according to the economic 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 academic PhD (Philosophic Doctor) in the Department of Mathematics and Physics, which has almost become another species, she naturally has no concept of some basic physical and mathematical phenomena. So sensitive - it's like when 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 scared look on her face, this may 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 resting for a while and drinking 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 felt 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 and crossed his slender fingers on his knees, with 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're not ready to step into 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, can 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 had 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 and 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 to 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 on some basic magical concepts. The reason why transfiguration is so dangerous is that, unlike other spells, it may produce some irreversible permanent deformations when the spell fails. Generally speaking, this kind of reversal of the spell is almost impossible to achieve, because every mistake They are all 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, as if he was whispering a rare spell.
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 directly revealed the final answer 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 solution and is irreversible, it is uniformly defined by the Ministry of Magic of various countries as Sealed by black magic."
Speaking of 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."
