Hogwarts: My Spell Infinite Derivation

Chapter 30: Me, an intern Auror, can't possibly handle a little wizard?

With a deduction from Xia Er, five thousand deduction points were deducted.

Immediately afterwards, Deep Blue deduced the Transfiguration knowledge he had just seen thousands of times in his mind.

The so-called elementary, intermediate, and advanced transfiguration spells divided into seven courses at Hogwarts were now flowing smoothly and completely in Shire's mind!

What would take an ordinary wizard seven years to learn, in the Deep Blue, is but a moment!

When Charles opened his eyes again, the Transfiguration spell, which caused headaches for most wizards in the magical world and even gave them nightmares for years after graduation, had become almost instinctive in him.

A deep blue notification sound also rang in Xia Er's mind.

"The host has completed the initial simulation of the Transfiguration spell and has mastered the basics of the spell."

"Consuming 50,000 points allows for targeted secondary deductions of various branches of Transfiguration—Animagus Transfiguration, Human Transfiguration, Exorcism, Vanishing, and Revealing."

"Obtaining the corresponding materials can reduce the number of deduction points consumed in the second deduction."

Charles took a deep breath, drew his mithril wand, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, he waved his wand with ease, and the table in front of him began to change shape from one form to another.

Sometimes it was a cherry wood table, sometimes it was transformed by Charles into a walnut wood pattern, and later it was even transformed by Charles into a modern computer desk with a height adjustment function.

Then Ciel became even more unrestrained, waving his wand and bringing the table to life.

Transform into a brown bear, a tiger, a giant tortoise, or even grow wings and become an eagle with enough space on its back for a person to stand on!

This wonderful feeling made Ciel feel like he had found a fun toy, and he tirelessly used his transformation magic.

During this process, he truly understood why so many wizards praised Transfiguration.

Why is it that Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard of this century, is also famous for his Transfiguration?

The mysteries of magical transformation and change contained in this discipline are absolutely profound and intriguing, worthy of a wizard like Dumbledore spending a lifetime exploring them!

After a while, Ciel stopped what he was doing and waved his wand to restore everything in the room to its original state.

Charles was extremely satisfied with the results of his first attempt at transforming.

Although this is not like deducing a specific spell, such as the Glowing Spell being deduced into the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, which would give Ciel a decisive killing move, it is a huge boost to his overall strength.

After all, he can't just use Eternal Blazing Sun Curse on every enemy he encounters, can he?

Flexible and rapid transformation techniques are sufficient to solve the vast majority of problems.

Furthermore, in the gaps between powerful spells, Polymorph can fill the combat rhythm, keeping the enemy busy and buying time for oneself.

Charles estimated that his current Transfiguration skills far surpassed those of a seventh-year graduate from Hogwarts who had mastered Transfiguration.

However, it is still far from reaching the level Dumbledore was at when he graduated.

After all, Dumbledore's examiner at graduation exclaimed that Dumbledore had used Transfiguration to do something he had never imagined.

Although the specifics of the feat have not been revealed, being able to serve as an examiner for the Transfiguration exam at Hogwarts means that the person must be a very prominent figure in the field of Transfiguration.

Even he was so shocked, which means that Dumbledore's Transfiguration skills had far surpassed those of his students at that time, and he could even be called a master of the new generation.

Charles is still far from reaching that level.

After all, he had only just mastered the basic transformation technique by integrating the content mentioned in the textbook into his instincts through his first deduction.

However, he has not yet mastered any of the various branches of Transfiguration, and is far from being able to be said to have reached a high level of proficiency.

Looking at the second deduction hint given by Deep Blue, Xia Er's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

"Animagus Transfiguration, human transformation, disappearance, reappearance, summoning..."

"There are so many branches of Transfiguration. To master them all, and even innovate and break through the barriers, the number of deduction points required is truly astronomical."

"In the short term, we may only be able to conduct simulations in a few areas."

Having gained a deeper understanding of Transfiguration than most wizards, Sharl was also well aware of its future direction and academic frontiers.

"For example, the Vanishing Charm, a type of transfiguration spell, is typically represented by one of the most difficult spells encountered during the fifth-year Hogwarts exams—the Vanishing Charm."

"However, the so-called most difficult spell is at most just a starting point for Vanish and Polymorph, used to lay the foundation."

"If this direction is further extended and combined with alchemy, products such as invisibility cloaks and vanishing cabinets will emerge."

"As for the direction of human transformation, it could be the transformation of Malfoy into a skunk, as shown by Moody in the original work, but that is still very rudimentary."

"What's truly profound is the permanent transformation of the human body, which is the direction Voldemort took in the field of transfiguration."

"By permanently altering his appearance, Voldemort gained special powers that were powerful, deadly, and intimidating."

"Summoning, that is, summoning and dispelling, is probably an area of ​​expertise for Dumbledore."

"The golden flames he summoned and the lightning that struck Snape's wand were both manifestations of his mastery in this field."

"And then there's Grindelwald's terrifying Fiendfyre spell. In a sense, Fiendfyre and the various monsters it transforms into are also products of the combination of transfiguration and dark magic."

"..."

Charles pondered the direction of his next transformation technique's second deduction.

Finally, his gaze fell upon the Animagus Transfiguration.

The reason is not complicated; it's simply because there is a lot of publicly available research data on Animagus transfiguration.

This is thanks to Professor McGonagall, one of the few legitimate Animagus, who is also Hogwarts' Transfiguration professor, and has produced several papers in this field over the years.

Under Professor McGonagall's influence, several other legitimate Animagus authors also published papers.

This can provide the Charles with a relatively sufficient amount of material.

Aside from this direction, if Ciel wanted to study the more advanced aspects of human transfiguration, it would inevitably involve the path Voldemort followed.

Dark wizards who follow this path don't write academic papers.

As for the direction of their summons, Dumbledore and Grindelwald had long since achieved great success and were well past the point of writing papers.

Such high-end materials are really hard to find, or materials from the Animagus direction are relatively easier to collect, and this path consumes fewer deduction points.

Of course, Animagus transformation also has a drawback: its academic value outweighs its combat value.

Animagus transformation allows one to switch between wizard and animal forms; what animal one becomes depends on luck and personality.

Like the Daily Prophet reporter named Liki, who transforms into a beetle, which is excellent for eavesdropping, but useless in battle.

Professor McGonagall's was similar; she turned into a tabby cat. Perhaps she could sometimes use her slender cat form to dodge spells in battle, but her value was still not high.

Even Sirius Black, who can transform into a large black dog, still has questionable fighting ability in his animal form.

The masters of Transfiguration in the magical world have, of course, considered solving this problem.

The most intuitive approach is to move beyond the transformation of ordinary animals and instead try to transform into magical animals.

For example, transforming into a phoenix, a fire dragon, or a winged eagle...

The power of these magical creatures should not be underestimated; they can make the Animagus's shapeshifting state no longer just for academic research.

However, this path has not yet been traversed, and no one has been able to perform the magical Animagus transformation.

However, this drawback is actually the easiest to solve for Ciel.

He can do things that others can't!

"Deep Blue, if we want to develop the Animagus Transformation technique to transform into magical creatures with combat abilities, how many points would be needed?"

Deep Blue responded immediately.

"This direction requires 100,000 points."

This amount of points was naturally beyond Charles's means.

Fortunately, he still had several papers on Animagus transfiguration that he could use as material.

After he read through all the papers and asked DeepBlue again, the points DeepBlue needed were halved.

"The host has obtained valuable materials, and the number of points required to deduce this direction has decreased to 50,000."

"To continue reducing the deduction points, please obtain a living Animagus wizard sample."

"Given the unique nature of this direction, acquired Animagus wizards can only provide limited reference; it is best to be an innate Animagus possessor."

A strange look appeared in Charles's eyes.

A natural-born Animagus possessor?

Does such a thing exist in the magical world?

The practice of Animagus transformation is extremely complicated and dangerous. How could someone born with Animagus abilities possibly...?

The next moment, a figure suddenly came to mind for Charles.

"Wait a minute, I remember that in the original story, Tonks disguised himself as Animagus."

"This is inherited through bloodline; it's an innate ability that doesn't require deliberate practice."

"Even her children later acquired this ability!"

"Does this meet Deep Blue's requirements?"

Immediately afterward, Charles frowned.

"However, at this point in time, Tonks should have already graduated and become an intern Auror, and is no longer at Hogwarts."

How do I find her?

"I can't just transfer her here directly, can I?"

A moment later, Charles's furrowed brows relaxed.

We'll collect some other Animagus papers and materials to see if we can further reduce the inference points.

Then see if you can get in touch with Tonks through Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore and try to meet her.

If all else fails, he can barely afford the 50,000 deduction points he currently has.

It's acceptable to directly perform a second deduction to obtain the magical Animagus shapeshifting ability, and then find Tonks to obtain materials before the third deduction.

"No rush, there's still time, let's wait a bit longer."

……

Meanwhile, at a training ground belonging to the Ministry of Magic, Tonks, with pink hair, is undergoing Auror training when he receives a mission assigned by the Ministry of Magic through his superiors.

"Let me investigate this new student, Ciel Evans, to see if he has abused Ministry of Magic agreements to obtain improper benefits, and whether anyone is involved in profiting from him."

Tonks' eyes lit up with excitement.

She had been an intern Auror for some time now, enduring intense and monotonous training every day, and was already getting tired of it.

Now that I have a task, I can finally show my skills and take a break.

As for the mission itself, Tonks felt it was almost effortless.

With her ability to disguise herself as an Animagus, combined with her strength as an outstanding graduate of Hogwarts, and the training she received as an intern Auror, what difficulty could there be in investigating a freshman who had not yet enrolled?

Tonks expressed his confidence.

"Me, a trainee Auror, can't possibly handle a mere wizard?"

"Three days, at most three days, and I can investigate Charles Evans thoroughly from head to toe without anyone knowing, not missing a single secret!"
