With Charle's thought of deduction, five thousand deduction points were deducted.
Immediately after, Deep Blue began to deduce the Transfiguration knowledge he had just reviewed, thousands upon thousands of times in his mind.
The so-called Elementary Transfiguration, Intermediate Transfiguration, and Advanced Transfiguration, as divided in the Hogwarts seven-year curriculum, were now seamlessly connected and fully understood in Charle's mind!
Knowledge that ordinary young wizards needed seven years to learn was, in Deep Blue, just an instant!
When Charle opened his eyes again, Transfiguration, which caused headaches for the vast majority of wizards in the magical world and even nightmares for many years after graduation, had become almost instinctive for him.
Deep Blue's prompt also sounded in Charle's mind.
"Host has completed the initial deduction of Transfiguration. The basic content of Transfiguration has been mastered."
"Consuming fifty thousand points allows for targeted secondary deductions on various branches of Transfiguration—Accio Transfiguration, Human Transfiguration, Conjuration, Vanishing, Apparition, etc."
"Obtaining corresponding materials can reduce the deduction points consumed for secondary deductions."
Charle took a deep breath, drew out his mithril wand, and a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Immediately, he effortlessly waved his wand, and a table in front of him began to transform back and forth between various forms.
At times it was a cherry wood table, at times Charle turned it into a walnut pattern, and later Charle even turned it into a modern computer desk with a lifting function.
Then Charle became even more unrestrained. With a wave of his wand, the table transformed from an inanimate object into a living creature.
It turned into a brown bear, a fierce tiger, a giant turtle, and even grew wings, becoming a majestic eagle large enough for a person to stand on its back!
This wonderful feeling made Charle feel like he had found a fun toy, and he tirelessly cast Transfiguration spells.
In this process, he truly understood why so many wizards praised Transfiguration so highly.
Why Dumbledore, the most powerful wizard of this century, also became famous for his Transfiguration.
The mysteries of magic transformation and change contained within this subject are absolutely profound and intricate, worthy of wizards like Dumbledore spending a lifetime exploring!
After a while, Charle stopped his actions and waved his wand to restore everything in the room to its original state.
Charle was extremely satisfied with the results of his initial Transfiguration deduction.
Although this was not like deducing a specific spell, such as deducing the Lumos spell into the Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, which gave Charle a decisive killing move, it was a huge supplement to his overall strength.
After all, he couldn't just hit every enemy with an Eternal Blazing Sun Spell, could he?
Flexible and rapid Transfiguration was enough to solve most problems.
And in the gaps between powerful spells, Transfiguration could fill the combat rhythm, keeping enemies off balance and buying himself time.
Charle estimated that his current Transfiguration mastery should far exceed that of a seventh-year graduate specializing in Transfiguration at Hogwarts.
However, it was still far from Dumbledore's level upon graduation.
After all, Dumbledore's examiner upon graduation exclaimed that Dumbledore had done things with Transfiguration that he had never imagined.
Although the specific feat was not revealed, an examiner who could assess Transfiguration at Hogwarts was definitely a prominent figure in the field of Transfiguration.
Even he was so shocked, it was certain that Dumbledore's Transfiguration at that time had far surpassed the scope of a student, and could even be called a master of the new generation.
Charle was still far from this level.
After all, he had only integrated the content mentioned in the textbooks through the initial deduction, turning it into instinct, which meant he had maxed out basic Transfiguration.
But he had not yet mastered the various branches of Transfiguration, and was far from reaching the level of true mastery.
Looking at the secondary deduction prompts given by Deep Blue, a thoughtful look appeared in Charle's eyes.
"Accio Transfiguration, Human Transfiguration, Vanishing, Apparition, Conjuration..."
"There are really many branches of Transfiguration. To master all of these branches and even innovate and break through barriers, the required deduction points are truly astronomical."
"In the short term, I'm afraid I can only choose a few areas for deduction."
After gaining an understanding of Transfiguration that surpassed most wizards, Charle was also clear about the future direction and academic frontiers of Transfiguration.
"For example, the Vanishing branch of Transfiguration, a typical representative is one of the most difficult spells encountered in the Hogwarts fifth-year assessment—the Vanishing Spell."
"However, the so-called most difficult spell is at best an introduction to Vanishing Transfiguration, just for building a foundation."
"Further extending this direction, combined with Alchemy, leads to products like Invisibility Cloaks and Vanishing Cabinets."
"As for the direction of Human Transfiguration, it can be like Moody demonstrating turning Malfoy into a ferret in the original work, but this is still very superficial."
"The truly profound aspect is permanent human transformation, which is the direction of Transfiguration that Voldemort took."
"By permanently transforming himself, Voldemort gained special magic, powerful, deadly, and full of deterrence."
"Conjuration, which is summoning and dispelling, should be the area that Dumbledore deeply studied."
"The golden flames he summoned and the lightning that struck Snape's wand are manifestations of his mastery in this area."
"And Grindelwald's terrifying Fiendfyre Curse, in a sense, Fiendfyre and the various monsters it transforms into are also products of Conjuration Transfiguration combined with Dark Magic."
"..."
Charle pondered his next direction for secondary Transfiguration deduction.
Finally, his gaze fell on Accio Transfiguration.
The reason was not complicated; it was simply because there was more publicly available research material on Accio Transfiguration.
This is thanks to Professor McGonagall. As one of the few legal Animagi, and also the Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts, she has published several papers in this area over the years.
Driven by Professor McGonagall, some other legal Animagi have also published papers.
This can provide Charle with relatively sufficient material.
Apart from this direction, if Charle wants to research the advanced aspects of human Transfiguration, it will inevitably involve the path Voldemort took.
Dark wizards who take this path don't write papers.
As for the Summoning and Banishing direction, Dumbledore and Grindelwald achieved fame long ago and are well past the time when they needed to write papers.
Such high-level information is truly difficult to find. The material for the Animagus direction is relatively easier to collect, and taking this path consumes fewer deduction points.
Of course, Animagus Transfiguration also has a drawback, which is that its academic value is higher than its combat value.
Animagus Transfiguration is about switching between wizard form and animal form. As for what animal one transforms into, that depends on luck and personality.
For example, the reporter from the Daily Prophet named Liji transforms into a beetle, which is excellent for eavesdropping, but useless in combat.
Professor McGonagall's is similar. Transforming into a tabby cat might sometimes allow her to dodge spells in combat due to the cat's slender body, but the value is still not high.
Even Sirius Black, who can transform into a large black dog, has questionable combat power in his animal form.
Of course, the Transfiguration masters in the wizarding world have also thought about solving this problem.
And the most intuitive line of thought is not to be limited to transforming into ordinary animals, but to try transforming into magical creatures.
For example, transforming into a Phoenix, a Dragon, a Griffin...
The power of these magical creatures is not to be underestimated and can make the Animagus transformation state no longer only useful for academic research.
However, until now, this path has not been successfully traversed, and no one can perform magical Animagus transformation.
But this drawback is the easiest for Charle to solve.
He can do what others cannot!
"Deep Blue, how many points are needed to deduce the Animagus Transfiguration towards the direction of being able to transform into magical creatures with combat power?"
Deep Blue immediately gave a reply.
"This direction requires 100,000 points."
Charle naturally cannot afford this many points.
However, fortunately, he still has several papers on Animagus Transfiguration that can be used as material.
When he read through these papers and asked Deep Blue again, the points required by Deep Blue were directly halved.
"Host has obtained valuable reference material. The points required to deduce this direction have decreased to 50,000 points."
"To further reduce the deduction points, please obtain a living Animagus wizard sample."
"Given the special nature of this direction, acquired Animagus wizards can only provide limited reference. It is best to have a congenital Animagus ability holder."
A strange look appeared in Charle's eyes.
A congenital Animagus ability holder?
Does such a being exist in the wizarding world?
Practicing Animagus Transfiguration is very cumbersome and dangerous. How could someone have congenital Animagus ability...
The next moment, a figure suddenly came to Charle's mind.
"Wait a minute, I remember that Tonks in the original work is a Metamorphmagus."
"And this is inherited through blood, a congenitally acquired ability, requiring no deliberate practice."
"Even her child will also acquire this ability in the future!"
"Does this meet Deep Blue's requirements?"
Immediately after, Charle frowned.
"However, at this point in time, Tonks should have already graduated and become an intern Auror, no longer at Hogwarts."
"How do I find her?"
"Minister Fudge can't just transfer her to me, can he?"
After a moment, Charle's tightly furrowed brows relaxed.
He would collect some other Animagus papers and materials to see if he could further reduce the deduction points.
Then he would see if he could contact Tonks through Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore and find a way to meet her.
If all else fails, he can still barely afford the 50,000 deduction points now.
He could directly perform a second deduction to obtain the magical Animagus transformation ability, and then find Tonks to obtain material before the third deduction. This is also acceptable.
"No rush, there's still time, wait a bit longer."
...
Meanwhile, in a training ground belonging to the Ministry of Magic, Tonks, with her pink hair, was undergoing intern Auror training when she received a task assigned by the Ministry of Magic through her superior.
"Have me investigate this new student, Charle Evans, to see if he is abusing Ministry of Magic protocols to obtain improper gains, and if there are people behind him profiting?"
Tonks' eyes gleamed with excitement.
She had been an intern Auror for some time now, undergoing intense, monotonous training every day, and she was already getting tired of it.
Now that a mission had arrived, she could finally show off her abilities and take a break at the same time.
As for the mission itself, in Tonks' opinion, it was almost without difficulty.
With her Metamorphmagus ability, coupled with her strength as an excellent Hogwarts graduate, and having undergone intern Auror training, investigating a new student who hadn't even enrolled yet – what difficulty could there be?
Tonks confidently declared,
"I'm an intern Auror, how could I not handle a little wizard?"
"Three days, at most three days, and I'll be able to investigate Charle Evans from head to toe without anyone knowing, not missing a single hair's secret!"
