As Professor McGonagall continued her lecture, the System began its meticulous recording. The holographic screen discreetly positioned in front of Harry displayed a detailed breakdown of the professor's wand movements, capturing the nuances of her technique with precision. The screen provided a real-time analysis, breaking down the intricate sequence of motions and the corresponding magical incantation.Upstodatee from n(0)/ve/lbIn/.(co/m
"The essence of Transfiguration lies in the understanding of the fundamental nature of both the caster and the target," Professor McGonagall explained. "You are not merely altering the form but redefining the very structure of the object."
She then demonstrated another transformation, this time turning a glass of water into a crystal goblet. Her wand moved in a precise, elegant arc, accompanied by a soft, yet distinct incantation. The glass morphed seamlessly, taking on the intricate design and clarity of a goblet, a change that seemed to defy the laws of physics.
Harry observed intently, his eyes flicking between the professor and the holographic screen. Nigel's voice provided a running commentary, "Notice the fluidity of her movement, Master Harry. It's not just the spell but the grace with which it's executed."
As McGonagall continued, she emphasized the importance of focus and concentration. "A wandering mind can lead to unexpected results in Transfiguration. One must be fully present, mentally and emotionally."
She shared anecdotes of past students' mishaps, some amusing, some cautionary. Her storytelling was interspersed with practical advice, making the lessons more engaging and relatable.
She then continued, "Now, let's discuss the ethical implications of Transfiguration," her tone taking on a more serious note. Professor McGonagall's expression was stern, her eyes scanning the classroom. "This is not just about the ability to change one thing into another. It's about the responsibility that comes with such power. You must understand the consequences of your actions, both intended and unintended."
The room fell silent as she spoke, the gravity of her words sinking in. "Transfiguration is an art that demands respect and ethical consideration. When you transfigure an object, you alter its very essence. This transformation can have lasting impacts if not handled responsibly."
The illustration on the board showed the shield enveloping the human figure, representing the innate magical protection every witch and wizard possesses. "Our magical essence," McGonagall continued, "Our magical essence naturally repels attempts to alter our physical structure," McGonagall explained. "It's a defense mechanism, preventing any external magical influence from directly transforming our bodies."
Harry's curiosity was piqued. "Professor, does that mean transfiguration cannot be used as a form of attack on a wizard or witch?" he asked.
She answered, "The caster's magical capacity should exceed the opponent's by a great degree to do such a thing, which is redundant, as such a difference in magical power means the caster can eliminate the opponent without wasting so much effort."
The class absorbed this information, understanding the complexities and limitations of Transfiguration as a form of attack. Professor McGonagall's explanation highlighted the intricate balance between power and skill in the wizarding world.
Harry, intrigued, further inquired, "So, in a duel, would Transfiguration be more of a strategic tool rather than a direct means of attack?"
Professor McGonagall nodded. "Precisely, Mr. Potter. Transfiguration in duels is often used for creating diversions, altering the terrain, or transforming objects to gain a tactical advantage. It requires quick thinking and a deep understanding of both your environment, your and your opponent's capabilities."
