Chapter 157: Both Form and Spirit (Updated)

Before December came, Schelling had already mastered the human body transformation.

Human body transformation is indeed difficult. Even among the students in the NEWT advanced class, few can master this ability before graduation. In the original book, Krum is a 7th grade wizard, and he is already an adult. He is also the strongest of Durmstrang appointed by the Goblet of Fire. Such a character can actually change into a shark head, but in the end he can't change back by himself and was deducted points. It can be seen how difficult human body transformation is.

In his previous life, Schelling often discussed this issue with other fans in the Harry Potter official fan club-after Voldemort became a disgusting appearance without a nose, why didn't he use human body transformation to change back to his handsome appearance?

At that time, fans had many speculations. Some believed that his red-eyed snake face could better deter the enemy in battle; some believed that the destruction of his soul made him lose his humanity and distorted his aesthetic sense; some believed that he wanted to break away from his past, the face inherited from his Muggle father; some believed that without hair and body hair, he could avoid being impersonated by Polyjuice Potion...

Now, if someone still asks Schelling, his answer would be that Voldemort did not fully master the art of human transformation.

Looking at the entire original series, plus the Fantastic Beasts movie, apart from the natural Metamorphosis Magus, it seems that Grindelwald is the only one who can completely transform into another person without the help of potions.

Of course, there is now another Schelling.

Scheling himself is the Metamorphosis Magus, and he has experience in the use of magic at the cellular level. What he didn't know was that although his magic power was not the strongest, it was much more flexible and changeable than anyone else in the wizarding world. In a thousand years, he was the first human wizard to achieve "three-in-one". His magic power could adapt to any changes, and there would be no stagnation or rejection of magic power due to body deformation.

This is why he could master the human body deformation so quickly.

After he consulted Professor McGonagall many times, he could change his height, facial features, skin color, hair color, and eye color at will. He even tried to perform some deformations beyond the limitations of human form under the escort of Professor McGonagall, such as turning a pair of huge wings from the ribs on his back, turning a tail with a ferocious snake head from the coccyx, and turning two arms from the shoulders on both sides...

Professor McGonagall's eyes were full of brilliance. She knew Schelling's talent in the field of deformation, but Schelling's speed of progress still shocked her, and Schelling's various ingenious uses of human body deformation also made her amazed.

After learning Transfiguration to this extent, Schelling can be said to have completed his studies.

"Scheling," Professor McGonagall's eyes were full of admiration and kindness, "To be honest, I have nothing to teach you. I'm afraid you will need to explore the future of Transfiguration on your own."

"You are the most talented student in Transfiguration I have ever seen," then her face tightened and became serious, and she whispered: "I hope you don't waste this talent, and use what you have learned in the right way, understand?"

Scheling was full of respect for the professor in front of him who was fair, caring for students, and willing to selflessly teach his unique skills. He answered sincerely from the bottom of his heart: "Professor, thank you very much for your care and teachings these days. I will always remember your kindness in taking out your private time to guide me. Although I am a Slytherin, you are as respectable to me as my own dean. Professor, please rest assured that I will keep every word you say firmly in my heart."

Professor McGonagall was waiting for this sentence, and she smiled with relief.

Back in the dormitory, Schelling began to think about the direction of his Transfiguration from now on.

He knew clearly that his Transfiguration was far from reaching the peak of the world.

For example, he could not do Animagus. This was a Transfiguration involving the soul realm. The preparatory work was very time-consuming, and it was a difficult test for the mind and will of the caster, but the effect was quite useless. It could only turn into a non-magical creature. Without magic power and the ability to cast spells, it could only be used for stealth and disguise.

Although Schelling was not interested in Animagus, it did not mean that he intended to stop at this level of Transfiguration. In fact, he was very eager to go to a higher level in the attainment of human Transfiguration.

Schelling had studied the contents of "Abatail Volume 4", which mentioned a Transfiguration that existed in the ancient century.

This Transfiguration was a bit like the combination of Animagus and Human Transfiguration - although Animagus was convenient, it also had great limitations. After Animagus became an animal, he could not use the ability of a wizard, and after becoming a human, the advantages of animals could not be reflected.

Transfiguration can only change the appearance of a human body, such as creating a shark head, a pair of wings, and a tail, but it cannot obtain the specific abilities of an animal. For example, although Viktor can breathe underwater after becoming a shark head, he cannot use the shark's super perception, such as inductance, vibration, super sense of smell, etc., so Harry was the first to win under the Black Lake.

This ancient age transfiguration allows the caster to retain the basic human form while also having the advantages of an Animagus animal.

For example, Professor McGonagall's Animagus is a cat. If she can have the agility and reaction of cats in the wizard state, then her combat power will definitely be greatly improved. Another example is the Animagus of birds of prey, such as eagles, owls, etc. If the caster can maintain the human form, such as turning the bones of the back into bird wings, and at the same time the body can also gain the sensitivity and control of airflow of birds, then wouldn't it be possible to soar in the sky without the help of a flying broom? If you can also get the vision of an eagle's eyes or the night vision of an owl, it will be even more powerful.

When Schelling discovered this magic, he was so excited.

However, at the end of this chapter, the harsh conditions for learning this transfiguration are mentioned-the caster must have extremely strong physical plasticity. The learner's body is more suitable for transfiguration than other wizards. Specifically, he must have a natural talent for transfiguration. In short, it is best for the caster to be a natural transfiguration Animagus!

And Schelling fully meets the conditions for learning this magic.

From then on, Schelling decided to devote himself to the study of this magic, and he named it "Kan-Shaped Magus"!
