Chapter 493 : Advanced Transfiguration
Chapter 493: Advanced Transfiguration
As she finished speaking, a slender, green vine quickly sprouted in the palm of Eunice–Gale, growing until it reached the ground—
only then did it finally stop.
"It’s actually the 【Plant Law】."
Feeling the familiar magical fluctuation coming from Eunice–Gale, Janna’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
Just like the 【Law of Growth】 and the 【Law of Withering】 currently mastered by Janna, the 【Plant Law】 was also one of the 【Secondary Laws】 under the 【Law of Nature and Life】.
However, compared to the balance-oriented nature of the 【Law of Growth】 and the 【Law of Withering】 within the Authority of Nature and Life, the Authority of the 【Plant Law】 leaned more toward the 【Law of Nature】.
The 【Plant Law】 could manipulate all plant lifeforms—whether it was making them grow rapidly, or allowing them to move as nimbly as animals—
the 【Plant Law】 could accomplish it with ease. In contrast, the control of the 【Law of Growth】 over plants was far weaker.
If not for Janna possessing the A-rank talent 【Natural Affinity】, she wouldn’t have been able to flexibly control plants using only the power of the 【Law of Growth】.
However, in terms of scope, the Authority of the 【Law of Growth】 far surpassed that of the 【Plant Law】.
The 【Growth】 Authority did not merely refer to the growth of plants—it encompassed the growth of all things in existence.
The reason Janna currently used the power of the 【Fragment of the Law of Growth】 only for the growth of plants was simply because her understanding of the Fragment was still far too shallow.
As her comprehension of the 【Fragment of the Law of Growth】 deepened later on, her use of its power would no longer be limited to plants—it could also extend to animals, and even to other living beings.—
"If any of you are interested in witchcraft or ritual magic related to the domain of Nature, feel free to come to me anytime—I’ll always welcome you."
As she said this, Eunice–Gale’s gaze landed directly on Janna, clearly implying that she was speaking to her.
"Witchcraft related to the Natural Domain?"
Hearing Eunice–Gale’s words, Janna’s eyes lit up slightly.
When it came to things connected with the Natural Domain, that was exactly the area corresponding to her current A-rank Witch Talent—【Natural Affinity】.
So far, Janna hadn’t even managed to fully develop the “Friend of Nature” ability that came with her 【Natural Affinity】 talent, not to mention the abilities like “Listening to Nature’s Will”, 『Nature’s Inheritance』, or “Nature’s Curse”.
For these doubts, Janna had already sought advice from official wizards at White Coral Academy before, but even Anthony–Rook himself hadn’t been able to provide an answer.
However, Janna still remembered what Anthony–Rook had told her at that time: when she entered the White Tower, she should seize the chance to apply for an exchange study at 【Florence】, so that the Green Elves there could personally teach her how to wield the power of Nature.
Yet what she hadn’t expected was that the opportunity she thought would take a long time to arrive had appeared before her so quickly.
"Alright, back to the main topic—everyone, turn your textbooks to the first chapter."
After a brief self-introduction, Eunice–Gale officially began her lecture.
"Is there anyone here who still can’t perform Partial Transfiguration up until now?"
As soon as she opened the textbook, Eunice–Gale casually glanced across the apprentice wizards below. Seeing no hands raised, she nodded with satisfaction.
"Good. It seems everyone has the basics—then next, I’ll explain the foundation of 《Advanced Transfiguration》: the concept of 【Complete Transfiguration】."

Hearing this, Janna, who had already finished previewing the first chapter of 《Advanced Transfiguration》, immediately focused her attention.
"In Transfiguration Studies, the most famous theory is the 【Five Major Transfiguration Laws of Gump】 proposed by the great master Andrew–Gamp. You must all commit these to memory—"
"From a modern perspective, these five laws may sound simple, but in the past, they were absolute doctrines that all who loved 【Transfiguration Studies】 had to obey."
【The Five Major Transfiguration Laws of Gump】:
First, Transfiguration cannot create something that does not exist in the physical world.
Second, a wizard can only transfigure into things within their own understanding.
Third, one must not pry into divine beings while casting.
Fourth, food transfigured from stones is inedible.
Fifth, if one turns into a fish but isn’t in water, they’ll quickly die of dryness.
Hearing Eunice–Gale’s words, Janna silently recited the 【Five Major Transfiguration Laws of Gump】 in her heart.
As Eunice–Gale had said, though the wording of these laws was simple, they indeed summarized the most fundamental truths of 【Transfiguration Studies】 in the most straightforward language.
"【Transfiguration Studies】 can be divided into three stages, and these stages can also be categorized by level: Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced—"
"The first stage, 【Beginner Transfiguration】, focuses primarily on learning to use the 【Power of the Mind】. For those who have never studied 【Transfiguration Studies】 before, this stage is the hardest threshold to cross—"
Hearing this, Janna couldn’t help but nod.
Back at White Coral Academy, during Professor Lilith–Mag’s introductory course on 【Transfiguration Studies】, merely understanding the concept of the 【Power of the Mind】 had stumped countless students.
If Janna remembered correctly, up to this point, the only students who had successfully crossed that threshold at White Coral Academy were herself and a third-year apprentice named Lane, who had managed to perform 【Partial Transfiguration】 with the aid of a 【Synesthesia Potion】.
"The second stage is 【Intermediate Transfiguration】, where what you must grasp is the conversion of the soul,"
"and one of the easiest ways to achieve soul conversion is to find an elemental attribute that resonates with your own soul’s nature—which leads us to the 【Elemental Interaction Theory】 in 《Intermediate Transfiguration》———"
Janna felt a strong connection to this topic.
After all, she had succeeded in passing the “Andrew–Gamp Transfiguration Trial” precisely because she had used the theory of 【Elemental Interaction】 to simulate the 【Mermaid Form】 in advance, thereby temporarily gaining the ability to control seawater.
Not only that, but by using this same method, Janna had also successfully simulated the 【Oak Dryad】 within the “Transfiguration Museum”, acquiring her second extraordinary form—the 【Oak Dryad Form】.
"The third stage, which is what I’ll be teaching you today—【Advanced Transfiguration】—encompasses the type of mystic witchcraft known as 【Complete Transfiguration】, which utterly alters one’s physical form to become an entirely new being—"
