Hogwarts: This Wizard Is Not Scientific

After all, the old bat specialized in studying the dark arts during his school years, and his attainments in the dark arts are among the best in the entire wizarding world.

What's more, Snape is a magical genius.

Snape glanced at Andy and said calmly, "You should have some understanding of magical transfiguration, and dark magic transfiguration... is more extreme than ordinary magical transfiguration."

"Dark magic...will cause the caster's mind to fall into darkness. If you understand dark magic, you should understand the dangers of black magic deformation."

Andy looked at Snape, waiting for his next words.

In fact, Snape said so much just to discourage Andy from learning the black magic of Transfiguration.

He is a serious professor and should not teach such dangerous magic to his students.

But Andy won't give up easily.

After a moment of silence, Snape continued, "In addition to the special requirements for transformation, the most important thing about dark magic transformation is to stimulate the darkness in the heart and use some extreme means to transform the body..."

"..."

Following Snape's explanation, Andy also had a general understanding of the black magic of transfiguration.

In fact, Andy has read information about the dark magic of transfiguration. Not only in the restricted area, but also in Slytherin's laboratory, there are also books and manuscripts on the dark magic of transfiguration.

However, the gains from reading a book yourself and listening to someone else’s explanation are ultimately different.

Dark magic transformation...

In fact, it is to make use of the negative emotions in your heart, and let the magic power and negative emotions interweave and merge while performing magical transformation.

In Andy's understanding, this effect is probably somewhat similar to the birth of Obscurus.

The only difference is that the creation of Obscurus uses negative emotions to suppress one's own magical abilities, while the black magic transformation uses negative emotions to transform the body.

Thereby making your body more adaptable to black magic.

Coupled with the extreme psychology caused by the split soul...

Andy began to understand why Voldemort was so powerful. He was the kind of person who was particularly adaptable to dark magic.

Whether it was his body, his soul, or even his talent... Voldemort had already taken on the shape of dark magic.

"Well……"

Andy frowned in thought.

Black magic transformation is not suitable for Andy, but many principles in this world are universal.

Harnessing the power of positive emotions during magical transformations…?

Andy shook his head.

White magic is good, but Andy will not give up the power of black magic.

After all, black magic is one of the ten talents of the system, and studying black magic can also allow Andy to gain potential points.

After thinking for a while, Andy said with some disappointment: "It seems that this method is not suitable for me."

Snape didn't say anything. He just looked at Andy with empty eyes, as if he was sending him away.

"professor!"

Andy said, "Although the black magic transformation is dangerous, but... it's not so bad that you dare not even try it, right?"

Snape scoffed, "What do you think the Dark Arts are?"

"Huh?" Andy was stunned.

How did this suddenly get to the dark arts?

Andy said tentatively: "I think black magic should be the study of human beings themselves, life, soul, mind... Most black magic is the magical power derived from the process of exploring oneself."

Snape looked at Andy. "If it were just like this, the Dark Arts wouldn't be excluded by mainstream society."

Andy frowned and asked subconsciously: "Professor, what is your understanding of black magic?"

Andy has always only dabbled in the dark arts and never delved into it in depth.

But Andy suddenly thought that Dumbledore was also very secretive about the dark arts. People like Dumbledore were not as superficial as ordinary wizards.

"Dark magic is an evil force!"

Snape said coldly: "This is the consensus of the wizarding world..."

At this point, Snape suddenly looked at Andy with a sarcastic expression, "Collins... You don't think you're the only smart person in the world, do you?"

Andy pouted.

Andy understood what Snape meant. Dark magic is an evil force - this is the mainstream view in the wizarding world.

As for what Andy said...

It sounds like it makes sense, but the magic world has developed for thousands of years, and countless people have studied black magic during this period, but they all came to the same conclusion in the end.

That is to label black magic as evil.

"Professor, can you tell me in detail?" Andy asked curiously.

Snape looked a little unhappy, but he explained: "There is darkness in everyone's heart, even Dumbledore."

"And the dark arts...are the powers of darkness."

"It will completely arouse the darkness in your heart, and then strengthen the power of darkness. By the time you realize it, everything is irreversible."

"The temptation to fall...how delightful!"

Snape sneered: "Abandon morality, abandon bottom line, indulge in your desires, and let yourself be controlled by desires..."

Andy raised an eyebrow.

What Snape said sounded like the same old clichés, but Andy still understood what he wanted to say.

dark magic……

It's not just the corruption of the mind, but the corruption of the mind and magic at the same time.

The mind affects magic!

Andy suddenly thought of the Chinese magic books that Zhang Qiu brought back. When it comes to cultivating one’s mind and character, the Chinese are experts!

Chapter 234 The Final Answer to Magic Transformation Will

Chapter 234 The Final Answer to Magic Transfiguration - Will

Although those Chinese magic books are only the most basic books, they also provide some simple introductions to black magic.

Of course, it’s not called black magic in China.

According to the Chinese concept, there are actually two consciousness systems existing simultaneously in the human body.

One is the innate spirit inherited from parents.

The other is the consciousness that is produced by factors such as a person's growth environment, the education received, and the people and things he has experienced.

That is the combination of thought and character.

Of these two consciousness systems, the one that operates in our daily lives is the acquired consciousness.

All of a person's thoughts, concepts, behaviors, etc. are directed by the consciousness, which gives rise to the seven emotions and six desires.

From the time a person's life begins with infancy, the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit will undergo changes in which one increases while the other decreases.

Children's spirits are strong, so they all have a pure and innocent heart.

As we learn various knowledge and enrich our experiences and knowledge, greed replaces it.

China's understanding of black magic is that the seven emotions and six desires pollute the original spirit through the conscious mind.

Andy just glanced at this statement casually and basically passed it by.

But after listening to what Snape said today, Andy suddenly realized that his previous thoughts might be too simple.

Let’s not talk about the conscious mind and the original spirit for now.

Let’s talk about the relationship between the brain and the body.

Is it the brain that controls the body, or is it the body that influences the brain?

Are human desires the brain’s own thoughts, or are they the body’s reactions that influence the brain?

To use the Chinese saying, the conscious mind is influencing the original spirit.

Many truths in this world are interconnected.

When we use magic to perform black magic or study the body, the magic will stimulate the body, which in turn affects the brain, that is, the mind.

People with ugly appearances usually have low self-esteem, but if they are good enough, they will become confident again.

The influence of physical, environmental and other factors on the mind can never be ignored.

Andy began to understand the horror of black magic.

What's more, it's a black magic transformation.

A person like Voldemort, his soul and body have been completely polluted by negative emotions, and his heart will never see a bit of sunshine.

"Thank you!" Andy said gratefully.

Snape once again adopted the attitude of 'showing you away'.

"All right!"

Andy was a little helpless, "Professor, see you on Monday."

……

After leaving the basement, Andy went all the way back to the dormitory and took out the Chinese magic books that he had finished reading long ago from under the bed.

Andy flipped through it and said, "This should be it."

Resisting the Temptation of Darkness

Andy leaned back on the bed, ready to read the book again.

The content of the book is very superficial, and it does not contain the legendary way to forget love. Rather than "Resisting the Temptation of Darkness", this book is more like "Critique of Black Magic".

Although it was just a theoretical book, Andy still found a lot of useful knowledge after reading it again.

For example, the relationship between the primordial spirit and the conscious spirit.

The primordial spirit can dominate a person's life activities, while the conscious spirit is responsible for managing mental, conscious and other thinking activities.

The two can be seen as the relationship between computer and operator.

If the operator cannot resist the temptation and frequently browses websites that are not allowed to be viewed by minors, the computer will be at risk of being infected with a virus.

The West actually has similar theories.

For example, Eve was tempted by the snake, ate the forbidden fruit, and let Adam eat it. In the end, the two were expelled from the Garden of Eden.

It is like the conscious mind is tempted by the outside world, and the soul is tempted by the conscious mind.

More than an hour later, Andy closed the book.

"Perhaps the most dangerous aspect of magical transformation is the impact of the body's functional reactions on the brain."

It is a body modification after all!

Regardless of whether the transformation is successful or not, it will cause irreversible damage to the brain.

Especially since magic is involved here.

Andy seemed to understand a little.

When you perform a magical transformation, the thought "I want to complete the transformation" will arise in your mind.

During the transformation process, the body will further affect the brain's judgment, and under the influence of magic, the body will be completely deformed.

Ordinary magical transfiguration is dangerous enough.

What's more, it is a black magic transformation.

"Well……"

Andy closed his eyes and thought...How can this kind of risk be avoided?

Occlumency…?
