The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

File A-1

Description: A-1 is a huge humanoid creature, usually around 3.6 meters tall and weighing up to 1 ton.

Individuals of the A-1 race are usually called trolls, which are magical creatures with amazing power but very low intelligence. According to some data, the more 'smart' individuals among them can use simple low-level magic.

Destruction measures: The troll's skin has strong magic resistance, and most magic cannot effectively kill it. It is recommended to prioritize changing the surrounding terrain and keep an appropriate distance from it.

Note: The cutting spell can cause effective damage to it.

Experiment log

record 1

Process: Dissect A-1-001 and study its internal structure

Result: The troll's body structure is similar to that of a human, but the biggest difference from the wizard is that most of its magic power is solidified in the skin.

Note: The magic power solidified in the skin makes the troll's skin extremely resistant to magic, but it also makes it difficult to cast complex magic with its remaining magic power.

Record 2

Process: Casting transformation on A-1-002

Result: The target's body was transformed into a two-meter-tall semi-humanoid creature, but its skin remained the same, causing the body to separate from the skin and die from excessive blood loss.

Note: The higher magic resistance of the troll's skin should be taken into consideration when casting the polymorph spell, and priority should be given to using the shrinking spell to plan the appropriate size.

Record 3: Simultaneously casting the shrinking spell and transformation spell on A-1-003

Result: While the target was being shrunk, a transformation spell was cast on its flesh and skin, successfully transforming it into a two-meter-tall ugly humanoid creature. When the spell was lifted, A-1-003 could not be correctly restored into a 'forest troll', which appeared as a pool of squirming flesh that broke the skin.

Note 1: The transformation did not change its skin characteristics. Although it changed from the green troll skin to the more common human brown skin, its body surface still maintains extremely high magic resistance.

Note: Ordinary transformation techniques cannot achieve permanent deformation. Experimental data are for reference only.

Record 12: Performing double transformation on A-1-007

Result: A-1-007 was successfully transformed into an ugly humanoid creature two meters tall. Two minutes later, the transformation spell was cast again, transforming it into a forest troll of the same size as its original size. When the curse was lifted, A-1-007 showed no obvious discomfort.

Note: Experimental results confirm the feasibility of transforming from ‘beast’ to ‘human’

Log 51: Experiment on permanent deformation with A-1-027

Result: A-1-027 was transformed into a humanoid entity with a height of 1.95 meters. Although the appearance was ugly, the body structure was basically the same as that of humans.

Note: The spell has been confirmed to work normally, but the duration cannot be accurately determined.

Note: The troll returned to its original state after seven days. The individual is not much different from the original, and its vital signs are normal.

Note 2: Cast a spell on it every seven days to keep it in human form permanently——

Inside Czech Doyle's grave.

Ash recorded the results of this experiment while browsing past experimental data recorded on the parchment.

In the past month or so, he has conducted an experiment on average once a day, hoping to perfect his spell as soon as possible.

The experimental results also prove that compared to "turning people into magical creatures", "turning magical creatures into people" is much simpler.

Ash has conducted more than three hundred human experiments in an attempt to turn people into magical creatures, but all ended in failure without exception. As for the experiment of turning giant monsters into humans, the experiment was almost perfect after only 50 experiments were conducted, and less than twenty-five giant monsters sacrificed their lives in the experiment.

From a sustainable development perspective, this is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

Even if Professor McGonagall knew all this, he would sincerely praise the genius.

But compared to the simple permanent deformation technique, Ash is now thinking about another question that has troubled him for a long time:

"Why can transfiguration turn dead things into living things, living things into dead things, and even people into animals, but why can't transfiguration be used on magical creatures?"

This question has troubled Ash for a long time, but now he has the answer, a very simple answer -

Because of magic.

Generally speaking, the learning of transfiguration can be roughly divided into four stages according to difficulty:

Turn dead things into dead things, and turn matches into needles.

Living things become dead things, beetles become buttons.

Dead things become living things, tables become pigs.

A living thing becomes a living thing, a guinea fowl becomes a guinea pig.

The transformation of living things into living things can be divided into three stages:

Animals become animals, others become animals, and oneself becomes an animal.

Most wizards can only stay at the stage of "changing animals into animals" throughout their lives. A small number of talented people can understand the magic spell that turns people into animals, and even use it in battle.

And turning oneself into an animal corresponds to the highest achievement of transformation - Animagus.

But this is only a horizontal difficulty comparison. In the learning of transfiguration, there is actually a vertical difficulty that is not easy to detect. For example, dead things are more changeable than living things, vertebrate animals are more changeable than mammals, and among mammals, humans are the most difficult species to change.

The species that stands above all other species and is almost beyond the reach of transfiguration are magical creatures.

So far, there has not been a single successful case of any transfiguration spell performed on magical creatures by any wizard, whether it was an experiment to turn humans into magical creatures or magical creatures into humans.

Under normal circumstances, if any wizard, even an Animagus like Professor McGonagall, wants to perform a transformation spell on a troll or other magical creature, the result will be failure without exception - not a failure of transformation, but a failure of transformation. It has absolutely no effect.

The results of Ash's experiment proved that it is not impossible for magical creatures to become humans, but it is just a little difficult.

He first experienced hundreds of failed experiments to turn people into magical creatures, and had already accumulated rich experimental experience in advance. Under this premise, Ash still experienced dozens of failures before he saw a glimmer of hope in turning magical creatures into humans.

In these hundreds of experiments, Ash came to a very simple conclusion:

The most fundamental reason why magical creatures are difficult to transform is because magical creatures have magic power in their bodies!

This is not only the basis for distinguishing magical creatures from ordinary creatures, but also the basis for distinguishing wizards from Muggles.

In fact, many wizards in the wizarding world are aware of the key influence of magic, but the vast majority of them do not understand the nature of the matter - just like the students at Hogwarts, they all know how to pronounce the corresponding spell , waving the wand corresponding to the action can cast magic, but they don't know what the principle is.

Ash has gradually found out the essence of the problem through a large number of experiments, and there is only one opportunity left to complete his research!

But for now, he's missing a medium.

"Tomorrow night is Halloween. I think Professor Quirrell won't disappoint me."

Ash thought for a moment, then casually shot the giant monster on the operating table to fall asleep peacefully with a split shot, and then used a disappearing spell to clean up the scene. The whole process was completed in one go. It was obviously not the first time he had done this.

But that's why Ash's experiments were never discovered - he never left any holes in the field.

As long as he gets the magic stone, his jade feet... no, his beast-eared girl can be mass-produced!
