The barriers still bore ancient magical runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the goddess of the girls’ bathroom had returned to her main battlefield.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To date, Allen had already observed and recorded the ancient magical runes for every spell he knew, except for the Cruciatus Curse and the Fiendfyre—mainly because the Cruciatus Curse had side effects, and Fiendfyre risked burning him alive—so what he now lacked most was knowledge to decipher ancient magical runes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had also dulled Allen’s desire to obtain the recipe for the potion Snape gave him to maintain his physical condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But today, the dragon’s eyes he had transformed into suddenly gave him a new idea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First, Allen noticed that his right hand no longer hurt at all after transforming into dragon’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since Allen had mentally conditioned himself before the transformation to grow dragon claws—he hadn’t even considered growing eyes—it could be concluded that the dragon’s eyes had appeared randomly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This suggested that subconscious influence on wand talent transformation had a cooldown period; based on existing experience, this cooldown ranged from more than two days to less than a month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dragon’s eyes could see ancient magical runes, and after multiple attempts, Allen found they had no time-slowing (or thought-accelerating) ability—he believed dragon’s eyes must possess some special capability, but he had yet to uncover it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery made Allen feel he was glimpsing hidden secrets of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long-standing hypothesis in his mind was beginning to take shape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen felt he could introduce the concept of rank to the various creatures of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lei Niao and Hu Long, due to their immense individual power, could be classified as high-rank beings; high-rank beings could perceive the most fundamental form of magical energy in this world—the ancient magical runes on the magical barriers produced during spellcasting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But due to their limited intelligence and scarce numbers, they could not develop civilization or transmission, and thus could not utilize the ancient runes they saw; over time, they came to regard the runes as a normal phenomenon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wizards, with limited individual power, could be classified as mid-rank beings; beings of this rank possessed the ability to cast spells but lacked higher observational capabilities, so they could not perceive the most fundamental form of magical energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fortunately, they were numerous enough to develop civilization and transmission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Through constant summation and experimentation, they built a system to harness magical energy and established themselves in this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Muggles, with extremely weak individual power, could be classified as low-rank beings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Different ranks corresponded to different permissions: low-rank beings had no permission to cast spells; mid-rank beings gained the permission to cast spells; high-rank beings possessed additional higher permissions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank also affected the power of spellcasting—a hypothesis Allen had formed from casting spells with his dragon claws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rank was merely Allen’s classification of biological species by power level, unrelated to personality or virtue—he had met the noblest of Muggles and the most vile of wizards!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The higher the rank, the more one could see and sense; even now, merely the ability to “see” revealed so much information—what if he gained other sensory abilities of high-rank beings? What could he perceive? To what height could he rise by utilizing such perceptions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Allen suddenly felt his blood boiling—he felt he was walking down a radiant path...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But all this was still mere hypothesis; Allen needed more experiments to verify it, which meant transforming into the eyes of other high-rank beings—and the nearest high-rank being to Allen seemed to be the phoenix, Fawkes...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought took root instantly in Allen’s mind—he desperately wanted to transform into phoenix eyes and truly see this world...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, final exams were approaching, and young wizards’ attention toward Harry, Hermione, and Neville diminished as they turned their focus to studying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Harry and the others immersed themselves in revision, which helped ease their worries.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the dragon claw incident, Allen had come to view wand talent transformation as quite useful and no longer resisted it so strongly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he still feared transforming into something bizarre and uncontrollable, the results so far had been acceptable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Allen believed he had discovered a method to narrow the randomness of transformation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the day his hand was still injured, he performed wand talent transformation while the subconscious influence was still under cooldown—so his dragon’s eyes were a random outcome, and this time the range of randomness seemed restricted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the internal trigger for transforming into dragon organs still existed, the transformation outcome was limited to various dragon organs; theoretically, the dragon’s eyes had no healing ability for his hand injury, yet after the transformation, his hand no longer hurt—so the internal trigger must have been consumed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Allen was still too poor—he couldn’t afford to use his remaining magical materials for such experiments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet a strange thought popped into his mind: what if Norbert were a female dragon? Would the random transformation outcome affect his own gender identity?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thought was terrifying—Allen dared not dwell on it further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that night, he had a bizarre dream: Voldemort was promoting various politically correct ideologies, and he himself had become the representative of an LGBT organization.\u003C\u002Fp>",1113,"2026-06-20T16:09:23.977Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","9774b75364c8b36c782d24ba2d1120d7776faa89ab73821738abb85b0468ed5b","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-86","the-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-chapter-84",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-transfiguration-master-of-hogwarts-cover.jpg"]
