Chapter 194 Only a fool would choose a giant monster

As time went by, the once sensational locked room incident gradually faded from students' daily discussions.

Life at Hogwarts gradually returned to normal. Students refocused on their daily classroom studies and intense Quidditch matches. The entire school returned to its former tranquility.

Sebastian also returned to his regular and busy teaching life.

He frequently appeared in Muggle Studies classes, Auror training classes, Dueling Club, Alchemy Club, and Luna's emotional magic teaching class.

He seemed to be constantly on the go, yet he took it all in stride.

Meanwhile, Sebastian had not forgotten what he had found in the Chamber of Secrets.

He took a lot of time to study the magic notes left by Slytherin in depth, especially the experimental records of improving Animagus.

He consulted a large amount of information about Animagus and compared and analyzed the differences.

For ordinary wizards, Animagus transformation is usually determined by the wizard's personality and inner nature.

Like a patronus, the form of an Animagus is often the animal embodiment of the wizard's inner self. This form is uncontrollable and completely depends on the wizard's own characteristics.

However, Slytherin's improvement of Animagus completely subverted this tradition.

His research attempted to alter a wizard's Animagus form by adding blood from magical animals.

In other words, this new type of Animagus is no longer determined by the wizard's own characteristics, but uses the information in the blood of magical animals to forcibly shape the wizard into a specific magical animal.

As the research progressed, Sebastian gradually understood the reasons why the Slytherin experiment failed.

First of all, Slytherin used different kinds of magical animal blood in each experiment.

This resulted in his blood being contaminated by the blood of the corresponding magical creature after each experiment.

In other words, when the next experiment was carried out, Slytherin's body still retained the blood and magical properties of the previous magical creature, which gradually caused a blood conflict.

This is why, according to Slytherin's notes, he felt the blood conflict from the third experiment.

Moreover, as the experiment progressed, the blood conflict became more and more obvious.

This is the sadness of pioneers. Without reference, everything can only be done by groping forward, with no way back.

A guess arose in Sebastian's mind.

If you want to transform into a powerful magical animal through Animagus, it is best to choose a magical animal to draw blood from.

And it would be best to succeed the first time. After all, no experiment has shown whether other problems will arise if the same blood is used again after the first failure.

This means that extreme caution must be exercised in the selection of magical creature blood and in the experimentation process.

Secondly, theoretically speaking, in order to ensure the success of the experiment, the ideal situation would be to remove all factors such as will and emotion from the blood of the magical animals, leaving only pure physiological information.

In this way, when the Animagus transforms, the wizard's will can be smoothly filled into the body of the magical creature, avoiding any unnecessary interference.

For example, when Slytherin used dragon blood for the second experiment, the dragon consciousness and emotions in the blood were too violent, causing the experiment to be interrupted. This was because of this reason.

This was a shame for Sebastian, because that experiment was probably the closest Slytherin had ever come to success.

If the consciousness and emotions in the dragon's blood had been handled better at the time, perhaps the ending would have been completely different.

After looking through Slytherin's experimental records, Sebastian discovered that Slytherin's way of handling the blood of magical animals was still a little rough.

Although Slytherin is indeed a genius in magical research, he still lacks sufficient sophisticated means to deal with complex emotions and will.

If this step is left to Ms. Ravenclaw, perhaps the effect will be more perfect, and her emotional magic may work wonders in stripping the will and emotions from the blood.

Unfortunately, for the wizards at that time, magical experiments were very private things, and no one had any intention of sharing their experiments with others.

Moreover, Slytherin's pride would not allow him to seek help from others before he succeeded.

If the four founders had been able to work together on this experimental project, perhaps the results would have been very different.

Now, standing on the shoulders of two giants, Sebastian is confident that he can complete this grand experiment and achieve the goal that Slytherin failed to achieve.

So the question is, which magical animal should you choose as your Animagus transformation form?

The first thing Sebastian thought of was the phoenix. After all, he saw Dumbledore's phoenix so often that it was hard to ignore it.

There is no need to explain the advantages of the Phoenix. Its rebirth through nirvana is attractive enough. In addition, its unique talent allows it to appear anywhere.

However, its body is not strong enough, and its magic resistance is not high enough. If it cannot defeat a powerful opponent, Nirvana Rebirth will be useless and can only be used to escape.

Next, Sebastian thought of the Qilin from the East, an equally powerful magical animal.

However, Qilin can see people's souls and know who has a pure heart. Just for this reason, Sebastian feels that he and Qilin are incompatible.

He didn't want to feel extremely dirty after transforming into a Qilin.

In addition to these two magical beasts, he also considered many special magical beasts.

For example, there are thunderbirds that can control the weather, invisible beasts that can become invisible and have certain predictive abilities, and even dementors that can absorb human souls.

As the research progressed, Sebastian discovered that the more unique the magical talent of the magical animal, the more complex the information contained in their blood.

The more complex the information, the greater the burden on wizards, and the lower their success rate in performing Animagus transformation.

The information contained in the blood of creatures like Phoenix, Thunderbird, and Invisible Beast is so complex that Sebastian can't even calculate it.

Therefore, if you want to increase the success rate of Animagus, it is best to choose some magical animals with simple information.

After comparing many options, Sebastian found two more suitable magical animals - dragons and trolls.

Dragons are one of the most powerful magical creatures in the wizarding world, but they do not have all those fancy magical talents.

However, their skins have superb resistance to magic, and secondly, their bodies are extremely strong. Choosing a dragon can make up for the wizard's weak body.

To sum up, the characteristics of dragons are simple and crude enough, and the information contained in their blood is not particularly complicated. It will not cause too much burden on the wizard's spirit and will, so the transformation success rate is higher.

If one must find a flaw, it would be that the dragon is too huge, and transforming into one requires a massive amount of magical power.

So, after comprehensive consideration, Sebastian finally decided on the dragon as his Animagus form.

As for the trolls...

Ha ha,

Only a fool would choose this magical animal.
