There are many problems in this world.
If you solve one, another one will appear.
Andy had temporarily given up on researching the difference between wizards and magical creatures without solving the previous problem.
It was very rare to have unstable magic.
So what should Andy do for the ti being?
Wandless spellcasting was very cool, but it was only temporary. Once the magic stabilised, Andy would lose this ability.
'Maybe... I can practice the ancient wizards' way of using magic.'
Before the wand was invented, all wizards used to cast spells without a wand. Even in modern tis, African shamans still learn to cast spells using hand gestures.
That's a special way of casting spells.
Hogwarts was founded a thousand years ago, and at that ti, wands had already beco the dominant tool in the wizarding world.
However, the four founders were very competent, and they had a high standard when it ca to their pursuit of magic.
So they collected a lot of ancient Greek magic tos, which are now stored in the restricted section of the Hogwarts library.
Andy has read a few of them before.
But those tos are outdated after all, and Andy is not too interested in them. He just wanted to gain a basic understanding of ancient magic.
But it has to be said that the way ancient wizards controlled their magic was very unique.
Although many ancient wizards could only master a few spells in their lives, they had their own unique way of using magic.
Andy plans to take advantage of this ti to practice the ancient wizards' thod of using magic.
Once the magic has stabilised, he may be able to discover sothing different. What's more, Andy may even be able to learn a few ancient spells.
'That's settled!' Andy resolved.

Stepping out of the laboratory, Andy used magic to seal the place.
Perhaps he would never co back here again.
It's not that Andy won't do magic experints in the future, but most of them don't need to be done secretly. Even if he studies dark magic, Andy will do it openly.
Unless it's a human experint.
'Maybe the next ti I co here it'll be to dissect Voldemort,' Andy mused inwardly.
Pop!
He used the Apparition spell to return to the Forbidden Forest and then used the Disillusionnt Charm to return to the castle, where he completed switching places with his younger self in the lavatory.
Back in his dorm room, Andy took a shower, then lay on his bed but couldn't sleep.
Although the magic transfiguration process was a bit harrowing, it went relatively smoothly overall. There were no accidents during the entire process, and the crisis ca only during the consumption of the potion.
Andy was able to persevere and pull through.
Moreover, the effects of the magic transfiguration were better than expected.
Although so of the effects overlapped with the functions of the system, they also helped Andy save a lot of [Potential points]. As for the effects that the system could not display, Andy also experinted with them one by one.
Overall, it was a success.
However, Andy still felt a little disappointed.
Perhaps it was because he had not absorbed enough magic power; although Andy had initially evolved into a magical being, he had not awakened the relevant magical characteristics.
Andy had fantasised about it before.
Would he have the power to freeze everything? Or the ability to devour souls? Or so other even more powerful magical ability?
However, this dilemma was the sa as the one Andy had struggled with in his previous life as a teenager: whether to go to world-renowned Howard University or Peking University.
They only existed in his imagination.
In the end, not only did Andy fail to get into Howard or Peking University, he didn't get into any of the famous universities.
It's a bit sad when you think about it.
On the way back from the Forbidden Forest to the castle, Andy was also torn between whether or not to perform another magic transfiguration.
Perhaps next ti, Andy could have his own magic abilities like a real magical creature.
But it's dangerous.
Just look at Voldemort's hideous appearance!
Voldemort probably thought the sa thing back then, and then he underwent multiple dark magic transfigurations, which ultimately turned him into that inhuman, ghostly appearance.
Strength can be improved slowly.
What's more, Andy has the Talent Point System.
But being handso is a lifelong pursuit.
He heard that Voldemort was also very handso when he was young, but look at Voldemort now... Ugh!
Magic transfiguration is never an insignificant process.
Excessive physical modification will result in the body's genes being eroded by magic, and eventually, it will lose all resemblance to its original form.
But...
The magical ability. So tempting!
"Hey!"
Andy let out a sigh, used the Occluncy to clear his thoughts, and decided not to think about it for the ti being.
Andy was worried that he would not be able to resist the temptation.

The next day was Sunday.
"Good morning, Hermione!" Andy smiled as he walked out of the boys' dormitory and greeted Hermione.
Hermione was sitting on the sofa reading a book. She looked up in surprise, as if she had seen the sun rise in the west, and exclaid, "It's unbelievable that you didn't sleep in!"
Indeed, Andy woke up early today!
"There are always exceptions!" Andy laughed.
Hermione closed her book and got up, saying, "Shall we go eat first?"
"Yeah, I'm going to the library later."
Andy walked over and took Hermione's book, saying, "Let's go!"
After breakfast, Andy and Hermione went to the Hogwarts library together, and with the note Professor Flitwick gave them, they searched the restricted section.
Since he had decided to take this ti to learn about ancient wizards' thods of using magic, Andy naturally didn't want to waste any ti.
The unstable magic power will only last for about a month, so ti is very precious.
Soon, Andy found several ancient books on how to command magic power. He pointed his wand at the books to take them off the shelf.
Walking out of the restricted book section, Andy looked around and quickly found Hermione's position.
A very remote corner.
Andy walked towards Hermione while habitually opening the system panel to take a look—the current attributes are really eye-catching.
"Fuck!!!"
What is this?
Andy rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
There was an extra stat on the system panel!
Originally, there were five stats on each side of the system, but now there are six on the right side.
Below the [Magic] stat, there was an extra [Constitution] stat.
[Constitution: 2]
The system has been updated?
"Collins..."
Before Andy could investigate the function of the 'Constitution' attribute, a slightly shrill voice suddenly sounded from behind him: "Oh dear, I can't believe soone would utter such. such. Such words in a library!"
"Sorry, Madam Pince,"
Andy apologised hastily, "I suddenly rembered sothing that made mad, and I couldn't control my emotions for a mont."
"Believe , I promise it won't happen again."
