Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Cold!

A bone-chilling cold!

What came with the cold was a piercing pain as if his bones were being ripped apart.

Andy had never experienced how the Cruciatus Curse would feel.

But at this moment, Andy felt that he had a better understanding of the curse—this pain was truly beyond the limits of what a human could bear.

Ever since he was born, Andy had never experienced such inhuman pain. In modern society, in peacetime, Andy's worst injury was when he fell as a child and skinned his knee.

"Ahh-"

Andy let out an involuntary scream.

It hurts!

And it's cold!

But Andy felt that he could still bear it.

The scream was just an emotional vent. In fact, Andy really felt that he could still bear it.

The seven-point 'Will' attribute played a huge role at this moment. If it had been at the beginning of his reincarnation, Andy felt that he would have probably died from the pain.

And the pain was fading rapidly.

It wasn't that the pain had gone, but Andy could no longer feel it.

The temperature in the laboratory was rapidly dropping.

But Andy's body was even colder than the surrounding temperature.

It was a familiar feeling.

Andy had experienced this cold once before in the Department of Mysteries' Death Chamber.

It freezes your body, your soul, your thoughts, everything about you.

This is the power of the Death Realm!

'It seems that the potion has indeed merged with the power of death.'

'I've succeeded!'

'Next, I just need to hold on until my body completely absorbs the power of death, then I'll be able to complete the full transformation.'

Andy was still able to think.

And he was very excited.

Unlike the last time, the seven-point 'Will' attribute ensured that Andy's thinking ability was not affected.

His thinking was a little stiff, but the impact was not great.

Soon, Andy could no longer feel the cold.

His body felt like it wasn't his own, and his thoughts were still active, but they were sluggish.

Not to mention controlling his body, Andy could barely maintain his self-awareness, which was keeping him from losing consciousness.

Maybe losing consciousness would be tantamount to death.

Time ticked by.

But Andy couldn't feel the passage of time.

Apart from the initial pain and cold, subsequent pain was much less.

Eventually, Andy's body, soul, and perception were frozen by the cold, and Andy could barely maintain his consciousness.

For Andy, time seemed to have come to a standstill at this moment.

After everything was frozen, Andy felt that it had only been an instant before his body regained its senses.

His thoughts became more active, and his memories began to regain clarity.

Andy could perceive time, the cold, and everything around him.

"I'm alive!" Andy let out a breath.

The cold was fading fast, and Andy could also perceive his magic power, although it was still a bit difficult to mobilise. But being able to perceive it meant that Andy could now cast spells.

"It's a bit scary!" Andy was a little shaken.

During the transformation, Andy was able to maintain his consciousness and self-awareness. But once his senses were frozen, Andy could no longer perceive the passage of time.

It felt like nothing more than a split second had passed!

'Is this how it feels when you die and become a soul in the afterlife?'

But this was not the time to ponder such questions.

Andy had more important things to do.

It was time to start the Transfiguration!

The entire process of Magic Transfiguration can be divided into three steps.

The first step is to steal the magic from nature.

Wizards usually do this by preparing a magic potion and infusing it with the power of nature.

The second step is to take the potion and let the power of nature enter the body.

This step has a very high mortality rate.

Most of those who survive will turn into grotesque monsters.

The third step is transfiguration.

Through human body transfiguration, the power of nature will be completely absorbed into the body when the body is specially transformed.

This step requires a high level of transfiguration skills.

If the wizard's skill is insufficient, he will not be able to complete the process of magic transfiguration, and the magic power of nature that has been absorbed into his body will gradually dissipate, leaving him with nothing.

Fortunately, Andy was very confident in his transfiguration skills.

After his body had become slightly more flexible, Andy let out a breath, took out his wand, and began to recite the incantation as he began the final transformation of his body.

Time passed slowly...

When the process was finally over, Andy put his wand back in its holder and slowly got up from the floor.

"..."

"It feels different."

"Is this what it feels like after a magic transfiguration?"

Andy could feel that the magic in his body was much more active and powerful.

Wishing to try out his newfound power.

Andy looked around the room and finally settled on the table in the middle of the laboratory.

He took out his wand and tapped it lightly.

Bang!

The table instantly crumbled into splinters.

He waved his wand again, and the table, which had been shattered into splinters, instantly returned to its original state as if time had been reversed.

"This smooth feeling..."

Andy was filled with excitement.

It is really different!

Before today, Andy always considered himself a magic genius.

Well, Andy relied on the system to become a 'genius'.

But a genius born of hard work is nonetheless a genius.

In the past two and a half years, Andy's talent for magic has shocked Snape, impressed Dumbledore, and even made Grindelwald take Andy seriously and willing to exchange knowledge with Andy.

Do you really think Grindelwald will talk to just anyone?

But at this moment, after his successful magic transfiguration, Andy truly understood what talent is.

If Andy's previous spell casting was like stroking cotton fabric, then now it's like stroking silk fabric.

The silky smooth feeling, the sense of fluidity... Compared to before, it's like greasing a rusty machine.

Andy quickly opened the system panel.

[Potential Points: 3]

[Charms: 7] [Magic: 4]

[Transfiguration: 6] [Soul: 5]

[Dark Magic: 6] [Mind: 6]

[Alchemy: 3] [Thinking: 5]

[Divination: 3] [Will: 7]

Compared to before, the improvement is significant.

[Transfiguration] has improved one point.

[Dark Magic] has improved by two points.

[Magic] and [Soul] have also each improved one point.

Overall, there was a total five-point increase in attributes.

Five points may not seem like much, but the calculation was not that straightforward.

Andy did some quick calculations.

If he wanted to increase his attributes using [Potential Points], then he would need about 26 [Potential Points] to increase his attributes by five points.

Even if Andy practised magic every day, it would take about 300 days to accumulate 26 [Potential Points].

And that wasn't even the most important thing.

After all, other people didn't have a system to rely on, so for them, magic transfiguration was the only way to change their talents.

'No wonder Voldemort was so obsessed with it!' Andy understood Voldemort more or less now.

It is indeed very rewarding!

And many of the changes that magic transfiguration brought about could not be displayed by the system.

For example, the smooth spell-casting.

And the most important thing of all... magical life!
