Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

I took the Knight Bus back and forth between London and Dundee for two days, dealt with the music company's affairs, and went to visit old Brulee, who was living a good retirement life and said he was preparing to travel around the world.

Sainz agreed and planned to find an opportunity to help the old man win a jackpot so that he could give him some money for traveling.

After dealing with the affairs of the Muggle world, Sainz devoted himself to the "Invisible Book of Invisibility".

After spending a whole day studying it carefully, Sainz was somewhat disappointed.

There is no ready-made, proven invisibility spell in this book that can be performed by waving a wand and chanting a spell.

However, compared to other books that explain invisible things, this book is already very deeply researched.

Rather than being a book on spells, this book is more like an alchemy book about invisibility.

After mastering the information in this book, if materials allow, you can make an invisibility cloak for yourself.

In fact, the book itself is equivalent to an alchemical item. Sainz even feels that the price of thirty Galleons is not enough to reflect its value.

But if you think about it the other way around, it doesn't seem to make sense. Just like a book that introduces the principles of artillery manufacturing may only cost a few dozen dollars, but the value of the artillery itself is far more than that.

Thinking about it this way, it seems that the price of this book is very reasonable. Perhaps most of the thirty Galleons are used on the materials of the book itself.

There is no doubt that the materials in this book include the fur of invisible beasts. It is precisely because of the existence of these materials that it can carry the spells and magic runes related to invisibility.

Only then can readers believe that what is introduced in this book is true.

Sainz thought of the "Monster Book of Monsters" chosen by Hagrid as the textbook for the Care of Magical Creatures class. That book is also very unique. If it is not handled correctly, the wizard will be bitten by it.

The same is true for this invisible book. The book itself contains magic. It is not like Saiens' other textbooks that simply record the knowledge itself.

They are all books that record magic, but why are some books very quiet while others have their own strange temperaments? Sainz thinks the key lies in whether magic is injected during production.

Whether a book is infused with magic determines whether it exists as an ordinary carrier of knowledge or as an alchemical item that looks like a book.

Generally speaking, books that are so-called ordinary knowledge carriers are estimated to have a relatively lower price. If they are alchemical items themselves, the price is estimated to be higher.

However, sometimes the prices in the wizarding world would give him a headache, as if he needed to grow a brain.

He decided that he should be more open-minded in the future and not be too serious about certain things. Otherwise, he might really end up like Xianglin Sao.

The invisibility principle recorded in the "Book of Invisibility" is very "magical". It does not talk about any optical principles such as light, reflection, refraction, etc. It talks about the content of the spell class.

According to the above statement, since the invisible beast can become invisible by doing this or that, then if we do this or that, we should also be able to become invisible.

But why didn't we become invisible after doing this and that? Oh, it turns out it's because we don't have the fur of the invisible beast.

In this case, we just need to get the fur of the invisible beast, and then do this and that, and we should be able to become invisible.

Indeed, with the help of the invisible beast's fur, and the way the invisible beast's magic works when it becomes invisible, it is indeed possible to become invisible. An invisible cloak is made.

How does the magic work when the invisible beast performs invisibility?

There are so many magic runes here, just inject magic according to these magic runes.

But the prerequisite is that these magic patterns - that is, talismans - need to be carried by the fur of invisible beasts.

As for why the fur of the invisible beast can become invisible when combined with these talismans, but the same talismans cannot be drawn on other material carriers?

Sorry, I don’t know!!!

This book only provides details about the invisible beast's invisibility, but does not know the reasons behind it.

Although he had not seen it with his own eyes, based on Sainz's understanding, he felt that the invisibility of the invisible beast should be optical invisibility, rather than it using some kind of magic to interfere with other people's nerves, thereby achieving pseudo-invisibility that makes the target ignore itself.

Consider it from the perspective of optical invisibility.

To achieve invisibility, light must be able to bypass an object completely, just like water flowing around a stone blocking the road, and after bypassing it, it must continue to move forward exactly according to the original planned trajectory.

In this way, from the observer's perspective, one can directly see the scene behind the invisible person. Such invisibility is quite difficult to achieve.

There is another method that was often mentioned and studied by the scientific community in previous lives, which is to play real-time images.

A screen that can play real-time images behind the object is built between the object that needs to be invisible and the observer, providing the observer with a false content and achieving invisibility in disguise.

The shortcomings of this approach are obvious.

Before Sainz traveled through time, the scientific community did not yet have a technology that could truly achieve optical invisibility.

There are ready-made examples of invisible beasts in the magic world. Science feels that even if he does not understand its specific working principles yet, he will definitely be able to develop the art of invisibility.

If he really gets stuck in the vortex of "rationality", his magic level will definitely be greatly reduced.

Since magic really exists, it is "scientific". It's just that the methodology it uses to understand the world is not the same as ordinary "natural science".

However, we cannot shout in despair, “This is unscientific!” just because it sometimes does not conform to certain theorems in the methodology of “natural science”!

Just as some phenomena in quantum physics are completely different from those in macroscopic physics, quantum mechanics is completely different from classical mechanics. At this time, we cannot shout, "Quantum mechanics is unscientific" just because we usually use classical mechanics!

In fact, it's pretty scientific.

The same is true for magic, it's very scientific!

It’s just that people are still in the exploration stage and have not yet systematically summarized a series of theorems, so it seems "unscientific."

Yes, Sainz believes that the current magic world is still in the early stages of magic research, which is the stage of experience summary and is an empirical science.

In the empirical science stage, many phenomena may exist in isolation from each other, but we may find later that the principles behind them are the same.

Sainz believes that wizards now have two relatively complete disciplines, one is Transfiguration and the other is Potions.

In fact, he believed that the only truly perfect discipline was Transfiguration.

Of course, this does not affect his belief that Transfiguration is a branch of Charms.

Why does he think that the subject of Transfiguration is the most perfect subject in the wizarding world?

Because he found that Transfiguration could solve almost all problems, and it almost reached a certain level of truth.

Yes, the method Sainz decided to use to achieve invisibility was Transfiguration!
