Back at Hogwarts, Andy did not take a moment to rest and immediately began to sort through his newfound knowledge.
He might have called it newfound knowledge, but it was really just a more broader understanding of the relationship between magic, the soul and the mind.
However, there were still some aspects that needed to be sorted out from scratch.
First, it's magic!
What distinguishes a wizard from a muggle is that a wizard has magic, and magic is the basis for a wizard to cast spells.
Wizards may not be very powerful.
But magic is really miraculous.
In a way, it can even change reality.
It can literally alter reality!
Based on this, Andy can be sure of one thing:
Magic is not a force that originated in the real world!
Perhaps ancient humans stole the power of the higher-dimensional world, or it is an energy leaked from a higher dimension, or maybe some higher-dimensional beings bestowed it on some humans.
In any case, magic may have originated from a higher dimension.
That much is now certain!
The Gods may have truly existed long ago. It is possible that they were beings from a higher dimension who came to Earth and brought with them the power of the higher dimension, or may be the first humans to gain this energy somehow and learn to control it were known as Gods.
Myths and legends are not completely based on imagination.
Some may have been made up, some may have changed over time, but some are true!
Of course, Andy doesn't intend to find them.
What Andy wants to find out is the source of magic.
Magic comes from a higher dimension.
And to fuse magic with the mind is to make it one's own!
But magic is ultimately a higher-dimensional force. While it is harmless for a wizard to use magic, if one tries to make it one's own... then there could be some big complications.
For example, the magic might simply leave the host!
Willpower is the mind's defence, and a strong willpower can temporarily prevent this problem, but it is not a long-term solution.
Therefore, Andy wants to tame the magic!
Andy wants to truly turn magic into his own strength!
"Hmm..."
Andy puts down his quill thoughtfully.
The issue of magic has been sorted out more or less.
The issue of higher dimensions is not something Andy can touch right now.
Next, it's time to think about the mind...
The mind is essentially a person's emotions, desires, thoughts, beliefs, memories and consciousness.
These are all closely tied to the mind.
The mind controls magic.
In the case of humans, the mind is very important!
More importantly, only living things have mental powers!
As for the soul...
That's very profound!
To this day, Andy still only has a vague understanding of the soul.
But there's no denying that the soul is the fundamental component to eternity and the cornerstone of all power. Only when the soul and the body unite can mental power be born.
As for the human body...
What happened today has actually confirmed a lot of things.
Without a soul, the human body is just a shell. Even if the body is still alive, it has already been stripped of everything.
But the body is also very important!
Because the human body is the only thing that truly connects us to the real world.
The body can contain the soul, protect the soul, and interact with the soul to generate mental power.
What's more...
When the body dies, it can lead to the 'death' of the soul!
In the world of magic, only the 'death' of the soul is considered true death.
So... someone invented Horcrux!
By using Horcrux to protect the soul, people whose bodies have died can be resurrected indefinitely.
The Dementor's Kiss has really answered a lot of questions!
It also made Andy see some things clearly.
"So... what should I do?" Andy scratched his head.
Understanding a problem is one thing, but to solve it, you need a clear way forward.
The fusion of magic and the mind is the prerequisite for everything.
Andy has already achieved this.
He had taken the first step!
But...what should he do next?
Andy couldn't come up with any more ideas.
"Love and death?"
Love and death are the two polar opposite forces. Love is the spark of life, and death is the end of life.
That's why love can rebound, a killing curse.
By killing someone, you can also split a soul.
"Hmm..."
Andy pondered for a while.
Yes, murder!
This is the first step in creating a Horcrux.
Kill someone, then recite an incantation.
Andy wouldn't create a Horcrux, but the steps to creating one gave Andy a very important insight.
Extreme mental power can control the soul!
"So that's it!"
Andy suddenly had a flash of realisation.
At this moment, Andy finally understood what Dumbledore meant when he said that for someone with a clear mind, death is just another great adventure.
This no longer needs to be proven!
If extreme evil can cause the soul to split, then the same is true in reverse – extreme love can also affect the soul.
'So...'
'Dumbledore can really maintain a clear self-awareness in the death dimension!?'
'And he may even be able to move freely?'
At this moment, Andy truly felt a little admiration!
If this is true, then Dumbledore is truly a genius of magic, the greatest wizard of the current era.
"Hoo..."
Andy let out a breath and focused on the topic again.
Extreme mental power could affect the soul!
But that was just the key.
Andy needed to figure out how and what to do!
How to protect the soul?
Andy suddenly had a crazy idea.
Since the soul could be split and stored in other objects,
Then...
Is it possible to merge the soul with the mind?
In other words, make the mind the vessel for the soul!
"Hiss..."
Andy let out a cold breath.
At this moment, Andy was also stunned by his own idea!
'Is this the unity of essence, energy and spirit?'
Andy had a strange thought.
Essence is the body, energy is magic, and spirit is the soul.
So...how should essence, energy and spirit be united?
By fusing them into the mind!
Obscurus, let the magic power fuse with the mind.
Horcrux... If the mind can really be turned into a Horcrux, then the soul can also fuse with the mind.
As for the body...
Who knows, maybe I can find a method for that too!
'The fusion of body, mind and soul?'
'Three forces merging at the head, bringing the five elements (matters) together?'
'Fuck, am I cultivating immortality?'
Andy: "..."
'No, no, no! This is the world of magic, and I'm only exploring magic, not immortality.'
'But...'
'All paths may lead to the same destination.'
'Who says magic can't unite the body, mind and soul?'
Andy: "..."
"Hoo..."
Exhaling, Andy felt that he'd better calm down first.
Impulsiveness is the root of all troubles!
But...
Once an idea has been sparked, it's really hard to contain it.
Of course, the Occlumency can do this, but Andy doesn't want to resort to it.
Because...it's really possible!
To make the mind the vessel of the soul!
Is this possible?
Andy thinks it's completely possible!
Ghosts remain in the world through obsession, which is the best proof!
So... is this considered splitting the soul?
Yes! But not exactly!
Because the soul is still in the same body!
After thinking about it...
"Damn it, I'll fucking give it a try!"
