Chapter 57: Four stages

Subsequently, Andrew Tooke also introduced the advantages of the Transformation Path.

First, transformation itself is more omnipotent than other magic. Ordinary spells and potions usually have only one fixed effect, but transformation is very comprehensive. For example, if you transform into an eagle, you possess all the abilities of an eagle, including its eyes with extremely strong observation and the ability to fly, and even in some cases, it can be used to hide from the enemy's tracking, etc.

As a functional magic, transformation has a very wide range of application scenarios, and its effect sometimes depends on the user's brain hole, and the cost-performance ratio is very high.

Secondly, Andrew believes that for wizards to become gods, or to move towards omniscience and omnipotence, relying on the weak bodies of wizards today that are almost indistinguishable from ordinary Muggles is obviously not going to work.

Any dangerous spell or some explosive potion could cause a wizard to die suddenly at any time.

At the same time, most magic spells and potions are temporary. If you want to permanently enhance your physical fitness and strengthen your defense and attack power, it involves changes to yourself, which is difficult to leave the support of Transfiguration.

Third, if this path is built with Animagus as the core. Perhaps it can retain the advantages of Animagus transformation: no preparation required, wandless spellcasting, very short spellcasting front swing, etc., which is more advantageous when dealing with some emergencies.

Fourth, compared to more elusive spells, the development of Transfiguration will have the accumulation of Muggle world's biochemical technology as an aid, and its basic logic can still be guessed roughly, so it won't become a black box.

Taken together, this may be the most down-to-earth and most feasible path at present.

"According to my guess, the Transformation Path can actually be divided into four stages." Andrew imagined, "The first stage is the biological stage."

"In this stage, wizards can transform into any organism and possess various strange abilities of various organisms through local transformation or functional specialization transformation, including various magical creatures."

"This stage can actually be divided into many topics such as animal transformation, magical creature transformation, plant transformation, and even microorganism transformation, which may have a certain sequence. And through methods such as local transformation, functional specialization, and functional combination, it reaches the last great achievement state of the biological stage: fantasy creature transformation."

"Wizards can transform into any creature he imagines, including but not limited to nine-headed fire dragons, three-headed and six-armed demon gods, etc."

"The second stage is the non-biological stage."

"Transfiguration can turn biological things into non-biological things. If non-biological things can also be included in the scope of transformation, then wizards can possess a true titanium-gold body, and even transform into various technological creations of Muggles at will, thereby possessing various technological abilities such as jet flight, laser ray eyes, hydraulic heavy hammers, etc., and even reaching the realm of hand-cranking nuclear bombs and mechanical ascension."

"The third stage is the elemental stage."

"According to our current understanding of physics, all matter is actually vibrating particles. The reason we can feel the existence of matter is because there is an interaction force between particles."

"Most of our perception of matter is the effect of electromagnetic force. In other words, objects do not actually exist; they are actually the movement of countless particles in the field."

"When a wizard can change into any substance at will, he enters this stage. Wizards can change the form of existence of their own matter, combine various particles at will, and make themselves switch between various states of matter at will."

"When a wizard exists in a solid state, he can be a stone, a sword, a mountain; when he exists in a liquid state, he can be a basin of water, a drop of mercury, or a river of magma; when he exists in a gaseous state, he can be a gust of wind, a can of gas, or a wisp of nerve gas; he can also be in a plasma state, and he becomes fire, becomes lightning, becomes aurora."

"Even, he can move towards the fifth state and become matter like a white dwarf, and it is difficult for any human thing to hurt him in the slightest. And he is just existing, and he can destroy everything in the world."

"Perhaps, even reaching the extreme of matter is not the end. We don't know, this is already a blind spot in our knowledge."

"If reaching the extreme of matter is not the end, perhaps only the fourth stage: the void stage is the final end."

"At that time, the wizard is no longer matter, no longer energy, and no longer a field. He is the quantum fluctuation of the vacuum, he is the Dirac sea, he is the wave function, he has become fate."

"At that time, he might be worthy of being called omniscient and omnipotent."

"Your concept is very interesting." After the speech, Murphy found Andrew Tooke.

"Actually, I'm still not very sure..." Once Andrew entered the social distance, he began to get nervous again. "T-t-thank you for your praise."

Murphy smiled and didn't care. "I want you to set up a Transformation Path research group to verify your theory. What do you think?"

"Really?!" Andrew was extremely excited. "Of course I'm willing!"

"Very good, you can pick people from the researchers at will, as long as the other party is willing." Murphy said. "Tell me if you need any equipment or materials, and I will try my best to satisfy you. Do you have any general research plan?"

"Yes! Of course! I have been thinking about it for a long time! First, our core is Animagus, but the time required for Animagus transformation is too long, and we have to take care of other aspects at the same time. I plan to start from the transformation of werewolves and vampires, because this is also a permanent change, and it can also add some magical characteristics to the transformer, which is very valuable for reference. If I could get some vampire blood or werewolf body tissues, that would be great..."

Andrew said quickly, but suddenly realized that his boss was still standing in front of him, and he choked.

"Sorry, Director, I can't control myself when I get excited..."

"This is a manifestation of your concentration." Murphy said. "Andrew, you are a genius. I will prepare what you want, let Laura help you set up your team, and then start verifying your guess!"

The concept of the Transformation Path made Murphy excited, so much so that when he saw Patrick, the smile on his face still didn't dissipate.

"Why, did you encounter something good?"

Patrick hadn't seen his big boss for a long time recently, but the Umbrella Corporation now had hundreds of employees and had been running very smoothly under his leadership. Murphy's presence or absence didn't have much impact.

"Yes, a great thing." Murphy said.

"Coincidentally, I also have good news to tell you."
