Lilith-Meg's last sentence contained the first two of the 【Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration】.
The subsequent three were: one cannot peek into deities when casting, food created from stone is inedible, and if a transformed fish is not in water, it will quickly dry up and die...
Carefully pondering Lilith-Meg's words and looking at the lush vine-family magic plants in the podium's potted plant, Jia Na's eyes constantly showed a thoughtful expression.
"Alright, before you attempt Partial Transfiguration, I must first finish explaining the casting elements and principles of 【Low-Level Transfiguration】. After all, some of you have already mastered 【Partial Transfiguration】, and I cannot delay her learning progress because of others..."
As she spoke, everyone's gaze couldn't help but fall again on Jia Na, who was sitting upright in the front row.
As the only apprentice in the entire class who had already mastered 【Partial Transfiguration】, her learning progress indeed should have reached the stage of learning the next Witchcraft.
...
"According to McGonagall Professor, I can't help but hear that it seems like everyone else in our entire class is inversely delaying Miss Jia Na's learning progress..."
"It's not just you, I heard the same meaning too."
"But we can't be blamed for this..."
"Then who can you blame? Blame Miss Jia Na?"
"That's not what I meant..."
...
Hearing the whispered discussions behind her, Jia Na, knowing her presence was already off the charts, completely ignored it.
Although she didn't know why Lilith-Meg was praising her so highly, this halo of being publicly stamped as a "Deformation Art genius" was precisely the momentum Jia Na wanted to build.
"Unlike Partial Transfiguration, which only emphasizes the 【Power of the Mind】, Low-Level Transfiguration is considered a preliminary step towards the threshold of 【soul Transference】. And the soul is microscopic, tangible but formless. It is not an unchanging objective substance, but rather a kind of energy, an energy that can adapt to any change, any state, transcending the mind, and can even easily penetrate different planes and dimensions—a Mysticism energy..."
It sounded confusing, but carefully considering the extended meaning of each word, Jia Na always felt that her two states of "transmigration" and "reincarnation" completely aligned with the soul principles described by Lilith-Meg.
"But!"
Just as Jia Na couldn't help but lower her eyes in thought, Lilith-Meg's suddenly brief and powerful words brought Jia Na's attention back to her.
"Although soul energy is not limited by space, time, or dimension, the spiritual trace within the soul will quickly dissipate after leaving its anchor point. Precisely because of this, theoretically speaking, as long as the soul leaves the body, no matter how powerful the spiritual force, it will gradually dissipate... unless a new anchor point appears that can preserve the spiritual trace better than the original body. And such a thing, in practical terms, is almost non-existent..."
No, it exists.
Experiencing transmigration (soul energy penetrating different dimensions), reincarnation (soul energy's adaptability), and retaining memories from her previous Life (spiritual trace preserved without damage) were all Jia Na's genuine personal experiences.
Jia Na could only attribute the occurrence of this situation entirely to the system (the new anchor point) hidden within her soul in the form of a tree seed.
"Also because of the special nature of the soul, after mastering the key points, every Wizard can use the power of 【Mysticism】 to make the soul adapt according to the guidance of the 【Power of the Mind】. This allows the caster to undergo a complete transformation from the inside out in a short period. And this is 【soul Transference】..."
After speaking, Lilith-Meg seemed to have no intention of leaving any thinking time for others. Instead, her gaze was fixed on Jia Na's position, and she began to perform casting gestures that were several times more complex than those for 【Partial Transfiguration】.
"The casting gestures for 【Elementary Transformation】 are derived from seventeen gesture symbols defined in the field of 【Mysticism】. The incantation is composed of a combination of twenty-seven tonal components from the field of 【Mysticism】 soul. Neither can have any errors, and simultaneously, the casting speed is required to be completed at the same time."
"Gulp, gulp—"
Just as Lilith-Meg was preparing to demonstrate the casting, the senior apprentice who had already opened the 【Telepathy Potion】 didn't even care that he hadn't learned 【Partial Transfiguration】 yet and drank the potion in one gulp.
"Ever-Changing—"
The incantation was completed, and her form wriggled. In just an instant, Lilith-Meg, who had been standing on the podium, directly transformed into a majestic giant eagle nearly two meters tall, covered in shimmering silver-white feathers.
"This is 【Low-Level Transfiguration】. With your apprentice level strength, if you transform into a magical creature of the same attribute, the duration will not exceed three minutes... Of course, if you are a Three-level Wizard Apprentice, maintaining it for ten minutes or more is not a problem."
A booming voice came from the opening and closing beak of the silver giant eagle. This magical transformation also caused the apprentices in the classroom to crane their necks and look with astonishment at the magical creature that Lilith-Meg had transformed into.
"Ever-Changing—"
Her form changed again. This time, the silver giant eagle standing on the podium directly transformed into a chair with no signs of Life. Before everyone could react, the ordinary chair transformed back into Lilith-Meg's noble and elegant middle-aged Madam appearance.
"If you transform into something with no magical fluctuation like this, your mana consumption rate will be greatly reduced. Taking a first-level apprentice's mana circuit as an example, the transformed state can be maintained for up to fifteen minutes."
As she spoke, Lilith-Meg's gaze was still directed towards Jia Na. Jia Na, who was constantly receiving special attention, nodded very seriously, and her note-taking never stopped for a moment.
"Alright, you can try it yourselves now."
Upon hearing this, the few senior apprentices who had drunk the 【Telepathy Potion】 were currently in the stage where the potion's effects were in full swing. In the brief state of high perception, the incantation and gestures, which they had originally expected to fail multiple times, were successfully cast after only a few attempts.
"Getting the incantation and gestures right isn't enough. The 【Power of the Mind】, which can even deceive yourself, is the key!"
Looking at the senior apprentices practicing with potions, Lilith-Meg couldn't help but shake her head. Finally, she couldn't resist reminding them again:
"If you haven't even mastered 【Partial Transfiguration】, don't try 【Low-Level Transfiguration】. Otherwise, it's a waste..."
