The Wizard's True Form

"If it's not magic, could it be secondary magical energy?"

"However, the Martial Soul True Body sounds strange. Is it related to the Dragon Country? Is it part of the [Path of Movement], where one reflects oneself and fuses one's body with it to form a true body?" Kurumi frowned, guessing.

The common sense that Basil gave her was extremely complex, derived from everything that was considered common sense in the ocean of the world's subconscious.

Although Basil simplified it, it is still quite extensive.

"It's not as complicated as you think." Basil's fingertips stroked Kurumi's head. "It's just a matter of definition."

"Harry and the others, as well as the creatures in the dream world I created, simply habitually define supernatural energy that can be used to cast spells as magic."

"In India, shamans would call it Chakra. In Dragon Country, it's called Mana."

"I'm just following my usual practice and calling the energy that is the source of the spell and is not consumed when casting it magic."

"However, I didn't name it the [Magic Ring]. If it were me, I would call it the [Soul Ring]."

"If the concept of 'Martial Soul True Body' is discovered by wizards as the 'Magic Ring' develops, they will not use this name. They will likely use the name from the Magic Immortal World and call it 'True Form'."

"A form that transcends the surface structure of the body, a more microscopic essence?" The Time Sprite frowned, beginning to recall 'common sense', "[Soul Ring], why is it named that? Martial Souls also contain the character 'Soul,' the soul? Also, how does the [Martial Soul True Body] you mentioned need to develop before it can be discovered by wizards?"

"The Heavenly Brain is the spirit of the whole body, the life cave of all gods, the source of bodily fluids, and the jade chamber of the soul essence." With a thought, Basil casually borrowed the wisdom of an old wizard from the Dragon Country to answer, "The wizards of this world have their magic stored in the brain, the place closest to their thoughts and soul."

"But neither the soul nor the mind is something we are born with."

"Based on my observations of the world, they all originate from the formation of the self, which is the ethereal 'mind'."

"With the existence of the 'heart,' magic no longer resides solely in the physical brain; it also exists within the heart."

"And because of the existence of the heart, magic reacts with it, and special magical energy is generated from the Seven Emotions and Six Desires."

"On a material level, the brain and other organs are not isolated islands either."

"This is why these magical energies can also be found in other organs, blood, and even hair."

"This is why the world still holds onto the Magic Theory."

"To be precise, in this world, the heart is equivalent to the soul, and the power generated by the heart can be best described as Soul Power."

"That's why I think 'Soul Ring' is more appropriate than 'Magic Ring.' The wizards of this world have never truly discovered magic; they have always been wielding Soul Power."

"As for why the [Martial Soul True Body] will be discovered, that's related to the principle of [Soul Ring]."

"Flowing with Soul Power, it is an amplifier and stabilizer, capable of amplifying and stabilizing a wizard's ego."

"Normally, it takes seven [Soul Ring], also known as [Magic Ring], to allow the [True Form] to be revealed and stabilized."

"Alastor Moody is no good because she is simply a collection of magic power, with four-fifths of her Soul Power extracted from Riddle."

"Cedric only needs five because his [Soul Ring] are of higher quality, and he has exchanged for the [Image of True Self]."

Kurumi blinked. In her spare time between receiving instruction from Talivforth, she also watched TV series (referring to the live stream of the Champion). "If that's the case, then Harry Potter and Phoebe Delacour will also master [True Form]? What will their [True Form] look like?"

"What about Viktor Krum? He doesn't have the [Image of True Self], but he has an extra [Soul Ring], and six more, almost seven."

Basil blinked. "Isn't the answer quite clear? The appearance of elves, plus the elements of their respective Magic Immortal Artifact."

Under the lonely moon in the Hala, Phoebe seemed to hear Basil's words.

Having just regained her human form, she stepped out of the oasis and was about to return to Beauxbatons in her carriage to rest when she suddenly stopped.

After Fawkes entered her body, the quality and quantity of the ever-increasing magic seemed to have broken through a blurry boundary.

She began to change shape.

Intense golden-red flames ignited automatically, and as its body shrank, a pair of golden-red wings grew from its back.

When the fire died down, the Phoebe had shrunk to the size of a palm, but unlike the fairy, the golden butterfly wings on its back had turned into phoenix feathers.

"Phoebe, Phoebe, are you alright!" Since Ariana's resurrection, Dumbledore, whose temper had calmed down, reverted to his old self, rushing to Phoebe's side, his current state like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment.

"Are you alright?" Phoebe waved her little hand. "I feel so comfortable, as if this is my true form, free from the physical body, no, all the heavy burdens! And my [path], if we use the realm of [Nirvana Envoy], I should have already broken through the [Hatchling Stage], and have reached the [Young Bird Stage] where both spirit and form are complete."

"But what's going on? I can't even control this change myself, and now I even refuse to revert to the original form."

Cedric, who is still running naked in the Forbidden Forest of the Rune Card World, would surely say he understands if he knew.

Harry, however, remains completely unaware of anything and is still striving to enter the realm of the "Image of True Self," not far from becoming a stag.

As for Krum, who is also about to become the first living Golden Snitch in history, he is about to open the book.

Date: July 29th.

With Easter approaching in the Rune Card World, everyone at Hogwarts finally got their holiday.

Most students chose to go home, even those from Beauxbatons, Durmstrang, who were in a foreign country.

For wizards, if they use a cross-border Floo Network, they don't spend much time traveling.

However, a small number of wizards still chose to stay at the school.

This includes Hermione, the Scroll Queen.

She is trying to convert all her spells into spell cards.

What is simple for other wizards is extremely difficult for her.

Because, just as Hagrid once boasted, "The spells that Hermione can't use, they haven't invented yet!", Hermione has learned almost every spell she can find.

This is why, even though spell card models are shown in live streams and numerous renowned wizards have published spell card models in various academic journals, many of Hermione's spells are still not included.

During the time Harry was still around, he had Hermione write down the spells she knew, and he directly asked the wizards there for help.

However, Hermione resolutely refused, believing that the process of deciphering the corresponding spells and then converting them into runes was itself a form of training for her.

This experience was indispensable and extremely valuable for her later creation of personalized spell cards.

Basil also supported Hermione's decision.

This would not only make it easier for him to spend time with Luna and Pansy, but also reduce Hermione's attention to her organization called SPEW.

However, not every student who stays in school is there to study.

Such "kings of the scroll" are, after all, a minority.

Everyone has their own unique reasons.

Cho Chang said it was for Cedric, but in reality, she and Cedric had very little time to meet during her own daytime hours.

The persistent black screen also exposed her true colors.

Many people say behind her back that the more sophisticated version of her completely stole Cedric.

Cho Chang was naturally very angry about this.

For some reason, she knew that Cedric didn't spend time with her during the day, and he rarely stayed overnight, usually leaving as soon as he had his fun.

She speculated that this was a kind of empathy from an alternate universe.

However, she recently noticed that Cedric was spending more time with her during the day, returning to a normal routine.

During the empathy session that evening, her mood improved considerably, and she realized that Cedric had resumed staying overnight.

Ron said it was to keep Lavender.

But only he knew that he wanted to see Harry, and that his mood had recently deteriorated.

The last time things were this bad was when Roan knew Harry was from another universe and might never be able to come back.

He also believes this might be a form of empathy, with the bad temper being caused by an alternate cosmic counterpart, namely that of Roan.

I guess it's because Roan and Draco are fighting over who's the most popular girl.

Ginny said it was for Harry.

She wasn't lying, but Harry only came back to keep her company during breaks and a short time before bedtime because he was broadcasting sixth-year lessons from the Rune Card World.

However, even this period that was exclusively hers has been shortened recently.

She didn't understand at all.

Ginny didn't know was that Phoebe's sister, Gabrielle, understood her feelings perfectly.

She also faces being neglected by her older sister.

But only Basil knew the reason behind it.

This is all caused by [True Form].

Cedric was the first to possess the [True Form], and through continuous naked runs in the Forbidden Forest and stimulation from the Slytherin Basilisk aura, he gradually mastered it and overcame the desire to remain in the [True Form] state indefinitely.

Cho Chang then noticed that Cedric was spending more time with her.

Phoebe and Harry are different.

Phoebe's [True Form] is a combination of a fairy and a phoenix, but neither the Rune Card World nor this world has a fairy or phoenix powerful enough to make her suppress her instincts.

She hadn't thought of streaking as a solution.

They can only maintain their [True Form] state for a long time, expressing their animalistic nature through the phoenix's preferences (rebirth in fire, standing on branches) and the fairy's preferences (dressing up), and gradually getting used to it.

Harry's True Form is that of a stag, covered in white carapace with golden lily patterns on the surface, just like his Magic Immortal Artifact shield.

He hadn't even thought of streaking, and he was even worse off than Phoebe.

First, he was in charge of broadcasting the sixth-grade course in the Rune Card World.

This means that he has to suppress his desires for most of the day.

Then he spent less time with Ginny (busy recovering his [True Form]).

The same applies at night; the time for delivering grain to the state is also reduced.

This is the source of Ron's inexplicable bad temper.

In fact Draco, and Harry himself, have both become much more ill-tempered.

Secondly, the stag belongs to the Cervidae family of the order Artiodactyla, while most Fantastic Beasts are most closely related to it, such as the Pegasus, which, according to Muggle classification, belongs to the Odd-toed Ungulate Equidae.

Harry's "True Form" is unique; he can only express his animalistic nature by maintaining the "True Form" state for a long time, relying on time to wear it down.

Basil thought Krum would be even worse off, but he fared much better Harry.

Krum's [True Form] is a green Golden Snitch.

Logically speaking, [True Form] isn't even a living being; he's a unique scorpion, and he doesn't even have the [Image of True Self] ability, so he should be even more unlucky.

But life always finds its own way out.

First, Krum has two bodies; one body has become the Green Golden Snitch, while the other body is fine.

Secondly, he actually found a way for the Green Golden Snitch to express his bestiality.

It means participating in Quidditch, in the form of the Golden Snitch.

Each time he is caught by the Seeker, his resistance to human form decreases slightly.

Thus, through a series of Quidditch Match, Krum was the first to master [True Form] and was no longer troubled by his animalistic nature.

This also sparked a trend of greening the Golden Snitch.

More and more Quidditch fans are starting to prefer seeing a green light against the blue sky during the game, rather than a flash of Jin Guang.

The renowned singer Celestina Warbeck even wrote a song for this occasion:

[Like an electric shock, an incredible miracle, it flashed through my life. Unlike anything else, you were the green light, so unique.]

"Damn it! If the Golden Snitch can be green, why can't it be red?!"

Ron threw a wad of parchment out the window.

Inside is a letter he wrote to Quidditch Center that was rejected.

"They said, ' Mr. Weasley, green is too similar to the color of the sky and the grass, and the red you suggested is too conspicuous.' 'It's not good for the game,' but gold is conspicuous too!"

"Didn't you see my name? Ron Weasley!"

"In no time at all, I'm Harry's wife, and going further back, I'm his brother-in-law. Even if I had a falling out with Ginny, I'm still his best friend!"

"Really, really—"

"Really what?" Upon hearing that familiar voice, Ron, who had been venting his inexplicable displeasure while Lavender was away, froze.

His head turned frame by frame, as if in a freeze-frame animation, until it met Ginny's face, which was on the verge of exploding with anger. If Harry hadn't been holding her, etc., etc., it would have been a moment of truth.

"Harry!"

Ron felt all his fear and annoyance melt away like ice and snow.

Ginny in front of him became a paper tiger.

"You said we'd break up?" Ginny forced out the words through gritted teeth.

Ron seemed deaf; he only had eyes for Harry.

"Harry, when did you get back? Don't be so busy training all day long, you should take a break."

He quickly pulled out a table and chair. "Come on, Harry, sit down."

"Ron Weasley!" A dense, overwhelming cloud of bats flew toward Ron.

The widespread use of spell cards has made spellcasting more convenient.

Ginny's most proficient Bat Swarm Curse was just a matter of a thought.

Ron responded in the same way.

But he didn't use spell cards.

Driven by his desire not to be disturbed during his time with Harry, Ron performed exceptionally well, pulling out his wand and waving it casually.

The Finite Incantatem (silently).

Before Harry could react, the bat cloud vanished into thin air.
