Ever-Changing! Three Deductions, the Magic Animagus!

Chapter 41 Ever-Changing! Three Deductions, the Magic Animagus!

With Xia Er's shout, 20,000 deduction points were deducted.

As a result, Ciel, who had honed his basic Transfiguration skills to an almost instinctive level, took a sharp step toward specializing in Animagus Transfiguration.

In the magical world, there are not many wizards who can master Animagus transfiguration.

There are only a handful of legally registered Animagus with the Ministry of Magic, and even including illegal Animagus, no more than ten wizards in the original works have mastered this Transfiguration spell.

The reason is that the traditional Animagus transformation method in the magical world is too complicated, requiring the preparation of potions under various harsh conditions.

It's not particularly difficult, but if you make even the slightest mistake, you have to start all over again.

Unless there is a compelling reason to train to become an Animagus, such as James Potter or Sirius Black helping Lupin become a werewolf, or journalist Lizzie needing to uncover secrets, few wizards would go to such lengths to train to become an Animagus.

Going through all that trouble just to transform into an animal.

It won't make you rich, it won't increase your strength, and you might even turn into an insect or something and get eaten by a bird.

Who would want that?

There are also less complicated methods. For example, the earliest wizards who started practicing Animagus Transfiguration did not have such a mature, foolproof tutorial that could be mastered by several Hogwarts students.

Without the aid of magic potions, he relied solely on his skill in Transfiguration to transform.

It's not complicated, but the process is enough to cause various aftereffects in more than 90% of wizards, and nearly half of them are turned into animals forever!

Those who succeeded accumulated experience and learned from their mistakes, which led to the development of the complex but generally safe Animagus transformation process now commonly used in the magical world.

Every step here is so meticulously crafted that it cannot be simplified any further; it is a process that has been refined through countless trials.

If someone could further improve Animagus Transfiguration, even by slightly reducing the complexity of practicing it, it would be enough to shake up the field of Transfiguration in the magical world, and obtaining Merlin's Order of the Second Class would be a certainty!

Unfortunately, even Transfiguration masters like Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore were unable to accomplish this.

However, now, with the Deep Blue System burning through its deduction points, and with the materials obtained from the disguised Animagus, this feat, which would normally take generations to accomplish, was achieved in an instant in Xia's mind!

"Transfiguration - Animagus Direction, Second Deduction Completed."

"Host has acquired full Animagus transformation!"

A deep blue notification sounded in Charles's mind.

Along with this came a massive amount of information about the so-called Complete Animagus Transfiguration.

"From the very beginning of Animagus Transfiguration, the ambitions of Transfiguration masters have never been limited to being able to transform into only one kind of animal."

"A master of transformation, capable of turning a matchstick into anything in the world, how could he possibly be content with transforming himself into only one kind of animal, especially since this process is random and uncontrollable, and related to each person's personality?"

"To be able to change freely among countless animals—that was the ambition behind the creation of Animagus Transfiguration."

"But this goal is too difficult; the current magical world is still far from achieving it."

"But now... I've succeeded!"

"Complete Animagus Transformation allows one to transform into any ordinary animal, whether it be a bird, beast, or insect!"

Charles took a deep breath, his face showing excitement.

The next moment, he activated the full Animagus Transfiguration.

In an instant, Charles's human form vanished, and a striped tiger appeared in the room.

Charles raised his hand, which should now be called a claw, and placed it on the floor.

His thick pads of flesh silenced almost all sound, making his movements seem ghostly.

His eyesight, sense of smell, physical explosiveness, and so on are no different from those of a real tiger!

Immediately afterwards, Charles leaped up and pounced forward.

He changed again halfway through his leap.

The tiger sprouted wings on its back and transformed into a golden eagle in the blink of an eye.

With a casual flap of his wings, gusts of air whistled through the air, and Xia Er could burst out of the window at any moment and soar straight into the sky!

As he activated the full Animagus transformation once more, the golden eagle landed on the floor and transformed into an ant, traversing the vast room.

A moment later, Ciel reappeared in the room.

These wonderful experiences made Ciel exclaim in admiration.

"It's almost like Sun Wukong's seventy-two transformations."

"Complete Animagus Transfiguration, if I used that to publish papers, and if I was careful with my spending, I could probably publish until I died, and I'd have a ton of Merlin Medals!"

"This shapeshifting ability is much more useful in combat than before. It allows me to fly without any aids and also lets me use animal senses to detect things..."

Even after developing the Animagus Transfiguration technique to this extent, Sharl was still not satisfied.

It's truly amazing that it can transform into ordinary animals at will.

But this is the magical world, with so many magical creatures, and the best among them are far superior to ordinary beasts and even wizards.

For example, there is a magical animal called the venomous leopard, whose breath is said to be highly poisonous, and it is said that it takes at least one hundred adult wizards working together to capture it.

There are also magical creatures like basilisks, whose gazes have an instant-death effect. Even ghosts that look directly into their eyes will be petrified. Isn't that much better than the Killing Curse?

If one could transform into a magical creature, Ciel felt that Animagus transformations would truly have powerful practical value.

This is precisely the direction of his envisioned third transformation, which has already been declared impossible by the masters of transformation in the magical world—the magical Animagus transformation!

Over the past few centuries, many Transfiguration masters have pursued this direction.

Without exception, they either died from a magical outburst during the transformation process, or they were completely transformed into magical creatures with no way to recover.

Therefore, the field of transfiguration has come to consider this an impossible direction.

But at this moment, Charles's gaze was intense.

What the magical world considers impossible is not impossible for him, who possesses deep blue magic.

"Deep Blue, how many points are needed to perform three transformations towards the magical Animagus?"

Deep Blue provided the answer.

"Since we have obtained valuable Animagus disguise materials, which are of great reference value for magical Animagus transformation, the points required for this simulation have been greatly reduced to 200,000 points."

Charles clenched his fists, his heart surging with joy.

This number is roughly the same as his estimate.

He had already collected 200,000 points, and even had nearly 80,000 points left!

Without the slightest hesitation, Charles let out a low growl in his mind.

"Deep Blue, three transformations, Animagus direction!"
