This is what Ravenclaw looks like.

Transfiguration is a very stream-of-consciousness type of witchcraft.

Yes, stream of consciousness - the more breakthroughs he made in the transformation technique, the more profound Andrew felt in this regard.

Take the simplest form of transfiguration - turning a match into a needle.

This simplest form of transformation does not specify what the needle looks like, how long it is, how sharp it is, how big the eye of the needle is, what kind of material it is made of, and what its hardness and toughness are...

None of these things exist - all the best students have to do is imagine the match as a needle and conjure it.

The same is true for subsequent learning, even when Andrew masters the rules that block most transfiguration magicians. Try to understand, communicate, master, and finally apply them. This is the perfect concept of transfiguration.

Is this good?

very good.

Yes, very good, extremely good - people who let those messy rules aside and let their consciousness determine the transformation are simply geniuses!

Only in this way can the introduction to Transfiguration be simplified and mastered by young wizards.

Otherwise, imagine that scene - oh, my God, dear little wizards, today we will first learn about the unit of length, toughness, the definition of hardness, the definition of diameter and sharpness, and... Okay, learn After these seventy items, we can define a needle and start your transfiguration practice!

That's not too painful at all - do you think this kind of transformation technique is not standard, is it strict? It was of course strict and thorough, but whoever would be stupid enough to hand such a course to a beginner would be sent to Azkaban.

But the vague beginning does not mean that it has to remain vague - whether it is practicing many times or reviewing the past and learning new things, you must make your transformation skills more and more standardized.

Replace feelings with quantification, and then explore the extremes of various quantifications. Such things will be more repeatable and more convenient to reuse.

As for the iron-carbon phase diagram, this is the ultimate in iron-carbon accumulation—at least the ultimate in accumulation that Andrew understands.

As a wizard with good deformation skills, he can set the temperature and refer to the diagram to perform a perfect deformation of iron and carbon, thereby feeling the feeling of reaching the extreme of deformation - after all, others are only looking at the furnace, and he is directly involved in the change. , you can feel everything most intuitively.

If it were more simple, he could painlessly put his hand into the pot to fry the color of the sugar, use the most intuitive feeling to experience the temperature changes, and have a clear understanding of the changes in various sugars under temperature.

There is no doubt that Dumbledore saw through his ideas and tried them out himself - and there is no doubt that this extreme perspective was of great help to Dumbledore.

Because when Dumbledore took Andrew away, he even took him on the knight bus and brought him back...

"I need to study hard - some things make me look too far away and fail to notice the changes that are close at hand..."

Dumbledore looked at Andrew and disappeared directly from Hogsmeade, leaving Andrew in a daze with two manuscripts - the other was written by Nick Flamel after he knew that he knew nothing about alchemy. The introductory book given was nothing more than a manuscript compiled by Nick.

‘It doesn’t matter? ’

Andrew sighed - the principal seemed a little too crazy.

But, fine.

The iron-carbon phase diagram is the basis, as well as alloys, plastics, and various synthetic materials, all of which can be utilized by transfiguration.

These were originally the topics that Andrew had arranged for himself, but there was no doubt that with Dumbledore's wisdom, after the iron-carbon phase diagram opened the door just around the corner, the rest of the things would definitely come into his sight.

‘After I finish my studies, I’m afraid that all the transformation techniques will have new branches – this is the best entry point. The imitation ability of transformation techniques is the strongest. ’

As a student, he has no worries about the professor learning too much - the more knowledge the professor has, the more he can learn. If Sirius is asked to be the transfiguration professor, he can only hold on to it bitterly now. He studied by himself from the textbook. He has not reached the research stage yet, so he should learn as much as he can!

'I'll go back to school to make a report first, and then deal with the stick first - the rules Dumbledore hid inside are really interesting. ’

——

"Back?"

"Yes, Professor."

"How do you feel, Nick..." Professor McGonagall shook her head, "He has been in bad shape since last year, and he seems to be very unoptimistic about the development of alchemy..."

…

That was in the past, Professor, that was before, and now Mr. Nick...well, started to play with iron.

Yes - before Andrew and the others left, Mr. Nick, who hurriedly gave him an introductory book, had already begun to rush to his laboratory impatiently, as if a person who was extremely bored by junk games discovered an epoch-making new game. Same.

'Iron... the bones of civilization... I don't know what will happen after the initial understanding. ’

Andrew has no doubt that the materials in the materials laboratory will be stolen in the next period of time - knowledge is extremely expensive at any time.

'Perhaps I judge others too much by myself...'

Andrew shook his head to get rid of his messy thoughts - he admitted that if he took his transformation skills further on public information, he would not mind using the power of magic to steal knowledge.

'Whether it's Veritaserum or Legilimency...I...'

"Tyler?"

Professor McGonagall's voice came, and Andrew woke up.

'Damn it, what the hell am I thinking about? '

"I rarely see you distracted, what are you thinking about?"

The professor's voice sounded, but it was not angry, but rather curious.

So, Andrew brought the iron-carbon phase diagram to the professor.

"This?"

Professor McGonagall looked at the huge diagram, and a little surprise appeared on her face.

"Albus saw this? You provided it? Interesting diagram, I had some understanding of it back then, but after taking office..."

After starting to deal with school affairs, Professor McGonagall didn't even have time to read authoritative magazines such as Transfiguration Today, let alone the power of Muggles.

"I think I understand why Albus didn't come back... He really is..."

Professor McGonagall nodded and put away the parchment. "I'll take some time to study it later. You go back and rest first. Taylor, if you have any questions, come back to me in three days, no, a week. Of course, the rest of the Transfiguration can be done at any time. Go back."

"Yes, Professor."

Andrew nodded and left the office, ready to deal with the stick.

'The last one is a bit difficult. It will be almost done after school starts? '

He judged so.
