Chapter 282: Spell Strength

After a period of repeated research, Allen Finis finally brewed the potion used to preserve his Transfiguration products; he named this potion the Constant Potion.

Allen Finis soaked his own Transfiguration product in it and found that, indeed, it had not disappeared by the next day, but not all of it had remained; just as Professor Snape had said, the success rate was not high.

Allen Finis estimated that less than 20% of the Transfiguration product he put in remained; the rest had vanished without a trace...

Finally, Allen Finis calculated the costs: for every single spell casting or every single specified talent Transfiguration, the magical materials consumed required 20 Jin Jin Jialong worth of potion to preserve.

Although the magical materials capable of preserving the Pokémon parts he Transfigured were of immense significance to him, this level of expense further worsened his already tight finances.

For this reason, Allen Finis had to squeeze the Basilisk even harder; although his massive shipments had already driven down the price of magical materials produced by the Basilisk by 50%, as long as the Basilisk still had one intact scale, Allen Finis would not go bankrupt.

It was under this extreme exploitation that Allen Finis's research continued to advance.

He used the magical materials he had saved to Transfigure the first Transfigured Beast possessing a Bulbasaur bud, which verified the feasibility of Allen Finis's theory regarding Transfigured Beasts.

All of this was done by Allen Finis at night; during the day, he still attended classes like a normal young wizard. Although some classes were now barely better than useless to him, he still attended them on time, anyway, since he had the Mind Chamber as a means to slack off.

Especially in Transfiguration class, Allen Finis's research into Transfiguration spells had far surpassed that of students in his own year; Allen Finis even felt that students in higher years did not research Transfiguration spells as well as he did.

In this Transfiguration class, Allen Finis completed the classroom assignment early again, earning 3 House Points for Gryffindor.

Then, he watched Harry Potter and Ron Weasley listlessly as they waved their wands and chanted spells at the cups before them; they were currently learning to Transfigure objects into animals. Today's assignment was to Transfigure a cup into a small bird. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley's progress was very slow; in half an hour, they had only caused a slight change on the cup's surface.

Hermione Granger's progress was a bit better, but she still made the Transfigured small bird's head rest on the stem of the goblet.

Professor McGonagall had taken note of Allen Finis's performance in class.

When class ended, Professor McGonagall kept Allen Finis behind.

"Mr. Finis, it seems the material I teach in my class is now too simple for you," Professor McGonagall said, looking at Allen Finis.

"No..." Allen Finis wanted to object, but he immediately made eye contact with Professor McGonagall and had to take back the words he was about to say. "It is a little; although the current content offers me some inspiration, this is all something I mastered a long time ago," Allen Finis corrected himself, speaking in a more tactful tone.

"Your research into Transfiguration spells is evident to all," Professor McGonagall said, paying no mind to Allen Finis's words. "Your current proficiency in using Transfiguration spells has already surpassed that of most adult wizards." Professor McGonagall was rarely praising Allen Finis.

This statement caught Allen Finis's attention. "How do you know that my proficiency in using Transfiguration spells has already surpassed that of most adult wizards?" Allen Finis always felt there was a lack of a unit of measurement to gauge a wizard's mastery of a spell.

"If you use a Transfiguration spell to Transfigure an object right now, how long can the duration of this Transfiguration spell last?" Professor McGonagall asked an unexpected question.

"About twenty-plus hours!" Allen Finis frowned, saying it somewhat uncertainly. He vaguely understood what Professor McGonagall was trying to express.

"Twenty-plus hours?" Professor McGonagall exclaimed; this number was beyond her expectations.

"Is that a lot?" Allen Finis raised his eyebrows and asked; he had no concept of this duration.

"A lot!" Professor McGonagall nodded affirmatively. "For an adult wizard, it is already quite good if the effect of a Transfiguration spell can last 10 hours."

"

"Then what use is that?" Allen Finis shrugged indifferently.

"This demonstrates your level of mastery and research into Transfiguration spells," Professor McGonagall said appreciatively. "The deeper one researches Transfiguration spells, the longer the Transfiguration spell lasts; this is also an important indicator we use to evaluate the power of Transfiguration spells."

Upon hearing this, Allen Finis still wore an expression of disinterest.

"Do you know why the power of the same spell cast by different wizards is not the same?" Professor McGonagall continued to ask.

Allen Finis shook his head; he had thought about this question, but he had not thought about it carefully.

Logically, if casting a spell is merely sending parameters to the Will of the World, then the power of the same spell should be the same, because the wizard is only requesting to cast magic, and the magical effect is manifested by the Will of the World.

But the reality is not like this; the gap in power between the same spell cast by different wizards is greater than the gap between humans and dogs.

Thinking of this, Allen Finis's interest was piqued by Professor McGonagall.

He put on an appearance of listening intently.

"Actually, wizards noticed this phenomenon long ago. The currently accepted view in the Wizarding World is that a person's level of research into a spell determines the magnitude of the power with which that person casts that spell," Professor McGonagall continued.

Allen Finis had long had this kind of speculation regarding this answer.

"However, wizards later discovered that factors affecting the power of a spell are not limited to this point. A person's level of research into a spell only determines the baseline power magnitude with which that person casts that spell. Wizards discovered that researching a spell to a certain extent can strengthen the power with which that person casts other spells," Professor McGonagall continued to add.

Allen Finis was somewhat confused by Professor McGonagall's words.

"For example, if your research into the Lumos spell reaches a certain extent, then your research into the Lumos spell will strengthen the power magnitude of all spells you have mastered. Although this bonus is relatively small, when your research into many spells all reaches a certain extent, this bonus is still quite considerable."

"Researching a spell to a certain extent can actually increase Spell Strength?" Allen Finis murmured.

"Spell Strength? That description is very accurate," Professor McGonagall said appreciatively. "Therefore, powerful wizards research various spells quite deeply. A wizard's power actually comes from the knowledge the wizard possesses."

Allen Finis's eyebrows furrowed deeply. This statement makes sense logically, but this method always gave Allen Finis a vague feeling: researching magic seems to be increasing the wizard's permissions with the Will of the World; the higher the permissions, the greater the power of the magic cast...
