If possible, the higher the power of magic transfiguration, the better, like the power of the stars, the power of the universe, the power of creation, and so on, sounds like a great bunch of cool power from novels.
However, the reality is that there is no pattern to these powers at all.
In the Slytherin manuscripts, all the external forces are summarised into just two.
The magic of celestial phenomena, and the magical power of magical creatures.
'Hmm ...'
Andy pondered for a moment.
Although the magical power of magical creatures was magical, Andy always felt that something was strange and there was a psychological barrier.
In contrast, not only did the magic power of the celestial phenomenon sound high-end, but Andy had already absorbed it once, so his body should have a certain level of adaptability.
That's right, although Animagus wasn't a magic transfiguration, the magic power of the celestial phenomenon was also applied to it.
In this case, the magic power of pure moonlight might be the most suitable kind of magic power for Andy - not to mention the pleasant name, that magic potion of Animagus had absorbed pure moonlight for several months.
What's even better is that among all the methods of magic transfiguration summarised by Slytherin, there was precisely one transfiguration method that applied the magic power of moonlight.
It's only due to the lack of experimental results, that Andy couldn't be sure if that formula and ritual were correct or not.
But this kind of thing would be a good solution.
Next, only one experiment was needed for Andy to verify if that formula was correct. If it went wrong, Andy could still adjust the formula and look for the pattern in the process.
Compared to experimenting with all the formulas, experimenting with one formula was undoubtedly much more time and labour-saving.
As for whether the magic power of moonlight was the optimal solution for magic transfiguration, to be honest, Andy did not particularly care.
Because of his limited energy, Andy could only do so much.
'Wait, wait a minute ...'
Andy suddenly thought of something.
Animagus's magic potion had indeed absorbed the magic power of pure moonlight.
However, Andy, personally, had to point his wand at his heart and recite the incantation of Animagus at the time of sunrise and sunset every day.
Metaphysically speaking, it was well known that the moon and the sun represented the two sides of yin and yang respectively, and that they were two opposing forces to each other, clearly separated from each other.
As a matter of fact, the first time Andy felt the two heartbeats was not during the final transformation stage.
Rather, it was at sunrise on a certain day, when he pointed his wand at his heart and recited the incantation - sometimes strong, sometimes weak, but there were indeed two heartbeats.
Recite the incantation at sunrise and sunset, then let the magic potion absorb the pure moonlight ...
Isn't this the essence of the sun and the moon?
Andy got a little bit confused for a moment.
Without a pattern and just based on speculation, Andy was a bit confused about the role of these two powers for a moment.
More importantly, the muggle thinking of his previous life was also affecting Andy's thinking.
From a Muggle perspective, the sun is a star, the moon is a satellite of the Earth, and these two kinds of astral bodies simply do not have any comparability.
Not to mention the yin and yang opposites, the moon is essentially reflecting the sun's light.
But then again, there should also be a subtle difference between the sun's light shining directly, and the sun's light reflected by the moon.
'Well ...,' Andy suddenly got up.
"Andy? Are you going back?" Hermione froze.
"I'm going back to get a few things, I'll be right back!" Andy said hurriedly, and couldn't wait to run back to his dormitory.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with his roommate, Andy took out the chest under his bed, pulled out his wand and pointed it at the chest, disabling the protective magic on it.
Opening the chest, it was full of all kinds of books, notebooks, and paper documents.
Andy rummaged through the Slytherin manuscripts and identified the one that used the magic of moonlight for magic transfiguration.
"This is the one!" Andy muttered to himself.
It was too late to have a closer look, Andy found two more books that dealt with the knowledge of the celestial phenomena, before organising the materials in the chest, closing it, and reciting a spell to lock it.
"Andy, no way ..."
His roommate Anthony said with an exaggerated expression, "It's already nine o'clock, do you still have to go study?"
"Mm-hm!" Andy shrugged his shoulders while leaving the dormitory.
Although Andy was the King of Grinding, he was unable to motivate others without much competitive pressure.
Don't look at Ravenclaw symbolising wisdom and knowledge, but when it was time to be lazy, the Ravenclaw eagles weren't much inferior to the young wizards of the other three houses.
Coming to Ravenclaw's library, Andy immediately studied the manuscript carefully.
In fact, Andy had read it a few times before.
It was only because of the danger of magic transfiguration that this research was indefinitely postponed, so Andy had never seriously studied it.
Now that he had a clue, Andy naturally had to carefully study it word by word.
'Indeed!'
Throughout the manuscript, there was both the complete method of magic transfiguration and Slytherin's views and comments on it.
More importantly, in the method of magic transfiguration, there was indeed a step that utilised the magic power of the sun.
To summarise, the method was still somewhat similar to Animagus Transfiguration.
During the preparation period, the caster needed to recite the specific incantation for Magic Transfiguration at noon when the sun was at its strongest - once a day, with absolutely no interruptions until the Magic Transfiguration was complete.
Secondly, the magic potion had to absorb the magic power of the moonlight during the configuration period at the full moon - besides that, the magic potion had to be completely sealed and could not come into contact with either the sun's rays or the moonlight.
There was one difficulty in this method.
That is, the magic potion must absorb the magic power of the full moon for six consecutive terms, and if it is interrupted once, then everything has to be started all over again.
There was nothing else to worry about, the only point that could not be ascertained was whether there would be dark clouds at the time of the full moon.
'The rainy season in Britain is mainly centred in autumn and winter, probably between September and February next year ...'
Andy did some mental calculations, 'It's definitely too late for this year. If I start preparing from February next year, then by the time August comes around, the preparation of the magic potion will be officially complete.'
After skipping the rainy season, the rest could only depend on luck.
"Whew..."
Thinking of this, Andy was instantly relieved.
Now, all Andy lacked was an experimental subject to verify whether this method of magic transfiguration was feasible or not.
As it happened, a suitable experimental body would be delivered to his door in the third year.
Andy had already guessed the plot for the next school year.
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
Is there anyone better to use for experiments than the Prisoner of Azkaban? They would be vicious dark wizards with more than one life on their hands.
When the experiment is over, let's send him on his way with a shot of Killing Curse, and then collect the bounty from the Ministry of Magic using the corpse.
Experimenting and making money at the same time!
Andy: I can be such a resourceful young man!
