Siphon Phenomenon and Anchor Point

To be honest, Wizet is feeling a little nervous right now.

The three professors before him were all wizards with extraordinary attainments in magic.

Although Wizet only wanted to share her experiences, she began to feel somewhat anxious and uncertain.

He worried that if he didn't explain things clearly, he would disappoint Dumbledore, who had given him their help.

Wizet looked up and met Dumbledore and the others' gazes, which were filled with encouragement and expectation.

It seems... I'm not so uneasy anymore.

Wizet let out a soft sigh. "I've learned from some sources that the inner workings of young Mandrake leaves are actually quite unique."

"It feels like a needle... especially in the soul, the way it is visually manifested is evidence of this statement."

"However, this was only my initial impression. As I completed the first step of Animagus today, my understanding of Mandrake has also changed."

A magic wand appeared in his hand, radiating a distinct silver-blue light.

In fact, this Memory Extraction Charm spell was cast using Ancient Magic Power.

Compared to ordinary Memory Extraction Charm, spells based on Ancient Magic Power have some additional special effects.

This is a clever application that he developed through practice after repeatedly using Ancient Magic Power.

"Books like ' The 《Ritual Magic Handbook》,' ' 《Rituals and Protection》,' and ' The 《Ritual Magic Practice》 ' all demonstrate some common characteristics regarding the broad category of leaf magic..." Wizet said.

Dumbledore chimed in at just the right moment, saying, "Growth and absorption—these are qualities that all leaves possess."

"Yes!" Wizet nodded, feeling more relaxed than before. "Growth requires absorption, which promotes the flow of energy in order to complete the growth process."

"Therefore, we can extend this to another related trait—flow. The Mandrake leaves flow with my memories. Professor... you should all be able to feel it, right?"

He waved his wand, releasing a trace of Ancient Magic Power, giving this memory more possibilities.

Dumbledore and the others squinted, as if carefully experiencing the feeling, and nodded in agreement.

Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick were still muttering to themselves, never expecting that the Pensieve, which Hogwarts had kept all this time, was more powerful than they had imagined.

Only Dumbledore smiled and winked mischievously at Wizet.

As one of the few who knew that Wizet was a Guardian, he naturally understood why this memory was so special.

Wizet couldn't help but chuckle, clearing her throat to compose herself. "This flow is two-way; it's a kind of exchange."

"I imbue the Mandrake leaves with memories of the past, and the Mandrake imbues me with the property of 'absorption'."

"That's a very convincing argument," Professor McGonagall nodded in agreement. "The Animagus itself is far too complicated and poses a considerable danger."

"Only a small number of wizards who want to understand the soul will study Animagus. As a result, without an understanding of the soul, it is difficult to discover this property of Mandrake."

"I am rather curious about the 'exchange' that Wizet mentioned," Professor Flitwick said. "The exchange of memories and traits... Gentlemen, are you familiar with the 'siphoning phenomenon'?"

"When I was researching Rome magic, I came across a wizard's memoir that mentioned his relationship with Muggle. By the way, the relationship between Muggle and wizards wasn't tense at the time."

"The memoir describes how Muggle would build large water pipelines to transport water across two valleys to the city, which was very ingenious!"

"Siphoning phenomenon?" Professor McGonagall shook her head. "I don't think I've ever heard of it... After all, we can use Water-Making Spell, there's no need for such a complicated process."

Dumbledore said with a smile, "Muggle have always been very wise. I remember that in the very beginning, they were called 'Muggles'!"

"The siphon phenomenon!" Professor Flitwick's insight gave Wizet a clue, connecting all her somewhat chaotic thoughts together.

His eyes lit up. "That's it! That explains everything!"

Wizet waved her wand, using Ancient Magic Power to create an extremely simple "Siphon Set".

The "Siphon Set" consists of two transparent cups, one tall and one short. The taller cup is filled with water, while the shorter cup is empty. The two cups are connected by a transparent tube for filling with water.

"Professor McGonagall, this is the simplest example of the 'siphon phenomenon.' I call this tube a 'siphon tube.'"

Through the siphon effect, the water in the higher cup flows slowly down the siphon tube into the lower cup.

"Professor Flitwick, thank you for your guidance! This example is so vivid!" Wizet said with some excitement.

Dumbledore clapped his hands. "It's excellent that we've reached a better, more vivid conclusion!"

"With the 'siphon phenomenon' as an aid, it's much easier to explain!" Wizet's mind raced, and even his speech quickened.

"The flow of the 'siphon effect' will continue until the two sides are in equilibrium! And this can be extended to another characteristic: stability, which can be regarded as a protective measure."

"The property of 'stability' can also further explain why Mandrake leaves..." He waved his wand, magnifying the curled Mandrake leaf.

"Like I said at the beginning, it's like a needle! And it's also a siphon! The siphon acts as a 'siphon effect,' while the needle acts as an ' Anchor Point!'"

"The first step back to Animagus!" Wizet recalled the tedious steps of Animagus, "Requiring holding Mandrake leaf in your mouth for a full month!"

"The two key points, 'holding it in the mouth' and 'one month,' are extremely important! Because the mouth is on the head, being close to the brain means being close to the soul!"

"During the month that the Mandrake leaf is in your mouth, it will continuously absorb our memories, and use those memories as a foundation to establish an Anchor Point."

"Once the Mandrake leaf turns into Potions, the memories contained within this ' Anchor Point ' will be the key to transforming into animal or human form!"

"But there's still one problem... The memories a person can hold are diverse... and the time span can be very long..."

Wizet frowned slightly, his thoughts slightly hindered.

"Perhaps you could trace it back to its origins?" Dumbledore suggested softly.

"Tracing back to the source?" After this remark, Wizet felt a sudden sense of clarity. "There's that hair!"

"So the hair used in the subsequent steps is to assist and correct this ' Anchor Point Anchor Point ' so that it can be accurately recorded!"

"The fact that it took pulling out a hair to master Animagus for this period of time... proves that it played a decisive role!"

"Make sure that when we transform back into human form, we don't revert to our childhood or even infant form, but maintain our current appearance!"
