Africa!

What you didn't consider was that you spelled Physics wrong.

I thought Fysics was a special magical course like arithmancy.

The magic doesnt simply 'create' new matter, it modifies existing matter so that the molecular configuration is suited to the desire of the witch or wizard.

expanding, duplicating, or otherwise increasing quantity has nothing to do with transfigureation, transmorgification or polymorphing in any way, shape, or form.
it can simply be done by hyper-cellular mitosis (done by hightening and de-limiting the metabolisim. You can do this with a few bio-chemichals if you know what ones) however for meat this may require some degree of necromancy, assuming you are trying to grow an un-cooked steak. magiscience proves wizards are dicks every time.

if you want to go in to baked goods, that is far more complicated and might accually fall under gamp's law

(it's exceptions, atleast)

It's rather "Deus-Ex-Machinized"!

"you can increase the quantity if you’ve already got some"
Could multiply 1 turkey by 1000, feed 100 families

shush, you're embarrasing me!

XD, okay

"It’s impossible to make good food out of nothing! You can Summon it if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you’ve already got some..."


You CAN increase the quantity. Learn to read.

I never read the books, but I assume the curse from The Deathly Hallows that multiples Beatrix's treasure is in the book. Even is you can't use the curse on food you could buy it and ship it with all that treasure.

**Sunburn rolled a random image posted in comment #1575665 at MLP Friendly Board ** The object in Bellatrix's chamber was non-consumable. The curse you're thinking about was the 'Gemini' charm, and I'm sure that there's something written somewhere about it being able to multiply objects, just not consumables.

Read my comment again. I said use the treasure to buy and ship food. But thanks for correcting my previous statement on the spell.

NEEERRRDDDDD. Naw, just kidding, excellent information!

Silly.

There is even a spell that lets them cook food instantly!

who cares, Africsas' normal food tastes like starving

"Because that's cannibalism, dear child and is frowned upon in most societies."

I got that reference

It's a quote from Willy Wonka.

Africans'*

Thus, you proved OP a faggot. Thanks, bro.

No problem

**gengetsu rolled a random image posted in comment #1705541 at MLP Brony Board ** That's one hell of a shitty roll, bud. But while you're at it, I might do this as a wizard.

attempt to burn them*

They just cast a spell on the fire that causes a light tickle and some illusional magic to make the muggles thing they're dying.

or just piss out the fire

They talk about this in the 7th book, you can't create food magically but you can make more if you have some already.

I think maybe because once you digest it, it turns back to whatever it was originally or something

You can't create food with magic, neither can you multiply it. You can, however, transport it from one location to another, that's how they make the food "magically" appear on the table, they don't create it, they already made it "manually" then transported/teleported it to the tables.

Ofcourse, I guess you could use magic as a helping hand when makig the food, to move the food arround etc. but you can't create food from nothing.

They can multiply it. When Ron was complaining about the roast Pike fish he, Harry, and Hermione were eating, Hermione says something along the lines of, "...You can't just create food out of thin air. You can summon it, and you can increase its quantity."

Here I looked it up

Page 293 In Book 7 of Harry Potter

"It's impossible to make good food out of nothing! You can Summon it if you know where it is, you can transform it, you can increase the quantity if you've already got some ----"

quanTITY
And then Ron goes on to say

"Well don't bother increasing this, it's disgusting."

Oh, okay then.. ^^

I read too fucking much.

Well I just remember you can'r create food (and some other things, don't remember) so I just assumed you couldn't multiply it since it's allmost (AllMOST) the same..

Fucking Chris Bosh.

*fixed

Now I'm not really into the whole Harry Potter universe, but some of the sources provided by fellow commenters say you can actually multiply or enlarge food:

harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Gamp's_Law_of_Elemental_Transfiguration
(second paragraph)

"But can't you fix this all ? You have magic !"
"Yes, minister, but the problem is the other side have magic too"

(I don't know if that's the lines, but it was something like that, been years since I read the Harry Potter books)

I was thinking more along the lines of personal gain/fulfillment. Like magically making yourself a huge house.


I'd be the laziest wizard; Using magic for the most mundane things like changing the channel.

I suppose to wizards who have grown up surround by magic all the time that they would think how muggles do things are magical, Ron Weaslys dad for example.
And they can't do anything too obvious or the muggles will find out they are wizards...

example? im pretty sure they had 7 books full of people using magic

Well think about it. If you had unlimited magic, you'd build yourself a huge castle, obtain large amount of wealth, or do whatever satisfied your heart's desire. The thing you could do would be limitless.

Instead you have families like the Wesleys who live together in a relatively small house and are rather poor. Yes they use magic, but it just seems like they're taking it for granted and not realizing what they could actually do.

wizards cant create goblin gold. i would have expected the weasleys to be able to build a bigger house too but that wouldnt change the fact that theyre poor.

The Weasly house is fucking gigantic once you step inside. It has 4 floors if I remember correctly. Its bigger on the inside.

You would think someone would have used their magic to pull gold from beneath the surface of the Earth.

Don't think that I'm bashing on Harry Potter, that series was a good chunk of my childhood. I just don't get why people didn't do whatever they wanted whenever they wanted via magic.

They could do that but it would be pretty worthless given that it isnt authentic goblin gold. If you are skilled enough you can create counterfeit money and maybe even get away with using it in small amounts.

that said, they DID create fake galleons in the 5th book, which were worthless in stores.

I guess this shows why I shouldn't be given that kind of magic; I'd be using it for absolutely everything I could think of.

are you saying you shouldnt be given magic because youd make a lot of worthless things?

I imagine I would end up becoming incredibly lazy. Don't even need a remote because now I can change the channel with magic!

if i was the only one in the world that could use magic, i would probably end up using an unforgivable curse within five minutes

Yep, I'd probably do that too.

*things.

oh yes the wesleys LOL, the government has control of the magic, ie the trace, taboo words, they control their people just like our government does, if you haven't read harry potter then don't discuss how bs it is.
