Hogwarts: The Unscientific Wizard (TL)

Andy has always been a man of his word (not really)

The day after his appointment with Snape, Andy created a Portkey to the Forbidden Forest and found the opportunity to hand it to Harry during a class with the Gryffindors.

This time, he really went out of his way.

Once he had taken care of Harry, Andy devoted all his energy to studying magic transfiguration and Obscurus.

The rare books Snape delivered were precious and unique, and they refreshed Andy's knowledge in many areas.

But to be honest, the books on magic transfiguration were of little help to Andy, only providing a little more supporting evidence at best.

In terms of magic transfiguration, the books and manuscripts left by Slytherin were the cream of the crop. Apart from the lack of experimental results, these materials were already quite comprehensive.

What Andy has to do is use the existing information to summarise the relevant patterns of magic transfiguration and find a practical and feasible path of magic evolution.

As for the Obscurus...

It can be seen that the Malfoy family and the Black family have a very close relationship.

Because Andy saw a very familiar point of view in the books about Obscurus—the reason why Obscurus would leave the host is because Obscurus cannot adapt to stable magic.

This is a valuable treasure for Andy!

Although the content of the book was heavily embellished and edited, Andy still noticed that the Malfoy family had participated in the Black family's experiments involving the Obscurus.

It was a failed experiment.

They used the results of the experiment to prove one thing: the Obscurus is a fatal condition that will kill any wizard.

Other than that, it was just a lot of recycled opinions.

The only thing that Andy found fascinating was the cryptic record in the book about the process of the experiment back then—how they created a special environment for breeding the Obscurus by abusing young witches and wizards.

This provided Andy with a lot of inspiration.

The so-called accidental magic riots were actually a direct manipulation of 'unstable magic' by young witches and wizards under extreme emotional stimulation.

Stable magic requires the guidance of a wand to successfully cast spells.

On the other hand, unstable magic can be directly manipulated through the mind.

It's just like Andy's magic training when he was a child.

Many young wizards with exceptional talent can use magic to perform small tricks without a wand before the age of ten.

However, as these young wizards gradually grow up, they lose this ability.

This is the most important thing!

As long as the [Mind] talent is strong enough, any wizard can cast spells directly when the magic is unstable.

Now, Andy's [Mind] talent is as high as seven points.

With just another point of [Magic], Andy can make his magic unstable again in a short period of time.

All two requirements are met!

In other words, Andy doesn't need to use external factors to stimulate emotions at all.

As long as he can make his magic unstable again, Andy can directly fake the effect of an 'accidental magic riot' with his powerful mental strength.

Then he can suppress it with his powerful [Will].

Thus creating a special environment for the emergence of Obscurus.

'So simple!' Andy closed the book and awkwardly touched his nose.

Andy had previously been blind to the obvious.

The conditions for creating an Obscurus are actually very simple.

Mind control of magic!

This is the foundation of everything.

In an unstable state of magic, mental strength can directly control magic, thus fulfilling one's intentions.

The conditions for creating Obscurus actually involve stimulating external factors to bring magic to the brink of an outbreak and then suppressing it with willpower. In summary, it comes down to two key phrases:

Accidental magic outbreak! Suppression!

As for factors such as 'suffering great psychological trauma due to magic' and 'consciously suppressing the magic that one hates within oneself', they are indeed necessary conditions for creating Obscurus.

But these are only the necessary conditions for creating an Obscurus, not for the fusion of mind and magic.

That's why Andy said he had been blind to the truth.

The Obscurus is a dark magical force, but the fusion of mind and magic has nothing to do with darkness.

The Patronus and Peeves can prove this!

If Andy hadn't seen the Black family's experiment, it would have taken him a long time to figure this out.

'Accidental magic, suppression... and thus the forced fusion of mind and magic is complete. The two become one, and a new magical life is naturally formed.'

He took out the Two-way mirror.

Andy couldn't wait to discuss his new discovery with Grindelwald.

The old guy still knew a thing or two.

"Gellert Grindelwald," Andy dialled the 'phone'.

Grindelwald: "..."

"If I'm not mistaken, today is the day you're supposed to prepare the magic transfiguration potion!"

Grindelwald's tone was a little unpleasant. "Boy, I remember telling you that older people need to go to bed early. Look for yourself; what time is it?"

At this, Andy sheepishly laughed.

Half past ten, it really wasn't early.

"Sorry to disturb your rest,"

Andy apologised, but he was not bothered by it at all. "I have a new discovery, and I urgently need to validate it."

"Tell me," Grindelwald said.

"It's about Obscurus!"

Andy got straight to the point. "The reason Obscurus is a dark magical force has a lot to do with the conditions under which it is formed. But the fusion of the mind and magic is not a dark magical force."

"If I can get the magic to be unstable, on the verge of being unleashed, and then suppress it, can I create a different kind of Obscurus?"

"For example, a white magic Obscurus?"

To be honest, Andy was very excited.

He couldn't do the Obscurus experiment, so the only person who could give Andy an answer right now would be Grindelwald.

Because he had been in contact with Credence.

The only Obscurial in the history of the magical world to have lived into his twenties.

"Hmm..."

Grindelwald was silent for a moment, then said, "Not a bad idea! If you really can do it, you can give it a try."

"What do you think the chances are?" Andy asked.

Grindelwald said, "In theory, it is completely feasible. I have seen many examples of life being born from the fusion of the mind and magic, but... they are not powerful."

Andy's brow furrowed slightly on hearing this.

Grindelwald was right; Peeves is the perfect example.

Although Peeves is special, he doesn't have the slightest bit of spellcasting power. As long as you know how to deal with him, any young wizard can handle him.

"Well... could it be that those magical beings lack a soul as a source of strength?"

Andy speculated, "They use their minds as the source of their power, but the mind is not a real soul after all. It's just like my fat cat Patronus. The reason it can cast spells is actually because it uses my magical power."

"It can't actually cast spells on its own."
