Soul, Blood, Body

"What a cunning Little Eagle ..." Slytherin smiled slightly. "It's enough that you can even come up with these concepts."

"Haven't you noticed something? Your talk of 'transformation and regeneration' has already answered the question you just raised."

"Have you answered these questions?" Wizet looked at the resting Basilisk, his brow furrowing and relaxing as he tried to find the answers using his existing knowledge.

"The body and soul are interconnected..." He suddenly thought of a name—the legendary Auror Alastor Moody that his roommate Anthony had mentioned when telling stories;

If things proceeded normally, Alastor Moody could have regenerated an eye by taking Potions and receiving treatment from a healer.

Just like Harry, even if Harry lost all the bones in his arm, he could still be restored with Skele-Gro;

However, Alastor Moody was unable to do this and could only replace his original eyes with the Magical Eye.

He pondered for a moment before saying, "Slytherin Headmaster, can I understand it this way? Like the relationship between the ' Philosopher's Stone ' and the ' Elixir of Life '..."

"The body and soul can transform into each other and regenerate, but like the ' Philosopher's Stone ' and the ' Elixir of Life,' the soul and body have a subordinate relationship..."

"The soul plays a dominant role. As long as the soul is intact, physical defects can be easily repaired; but if the soul is damaged, the state of the damaged soul will be reflected in the body in real time."

"Repairing the body? That's all related to Potions." Slytherin rubbed his fingers. "It seems you're more skilled in Potions than Alchemy, isn't that right?"

Wizet nodded.

Slytherin asked, "If you were to choose a Potions to describe the relationship between the body and the soul, what Potions would you choose?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Wizet blurted out, "Polyjuice Potion!" as soon as Slytherin finished speaking.

"The leech 'absorbs' the hair, and then, through African Tree Snake Skin Fragment, 'dresses' the soul in a layer of skin, so that it can transform into the appearance of another person."

"It's actually somewhat similar to Transfiguration... I once used a similar method to 'dress' Christmas Cactus with a layer of skin, turning it into Devil's Snare."

"Therefore, Polyjuice Potion can embody the 'connection between body and soul'; there is also the Love Potion,' which, in addition to generating feelings of affection, also allows the user to smell their favorite scents..."

"This shows that not only is the user's soul captivated, but their body also instinctively desires it; this also demonstrates that many injuries caused by Dark Magic are difficult to heal with magic or Potions!"

Slytherin leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Wizet. "Polyjuice Potion... Love Potion... Transfiguration..."

"Being able to say these things already meets the basic requirements, so we don't need to waste any more words and can move on to the next stage."

"Okay!" Wizet and took out his notebook to write down his thoughts.

He planned to re-examine his current ideas in light of the new knowledge he was about to impart, and identify any shortcomings in them.

Slytherin did not urge him, but sat back on the Basilisk and waited quietly for Wizet to finish recording.

Wizet noticed this and sped up her writing, then said apologetically, "Sorry to keep you waiting."

"You take notes very quickly; it seems you do this often." Slytherin nodded. "Then let's continue... Wizet, what do you think holds the body and soul together?"

After some thought, Wizet felt her mind had broadened considerably and quickly came up with the answer, "It's blood!"

He paused, then added to his answer, "It requires blood containing magic!"

"Being able to clearly know that the blood contains magic..." Slytherin smiled with satisfaction, "Shows that your understanding of Potions is indeed far ahead of its time."

"It just so happens that Professor Snape talked about this at the beginning of this school year," Wizet explained. "He took me to understand Potions from the very beginning."

"Professor Snape?" Slytherin raised an eyebrow. "Also Ravenclaw?"

Wizet shook her head. "He's a Slytherin, the youngest Potions Master! His understanding of Potions is incredibly profound!"

Slytherin nodded. "Not bad... at least there's one Slytherin."

Wizet continued, "Actually, blood containing magic isn't that rare... at least compared to the Middle Ages."

Slytherin murmured, "Oh?"

"Thanks to Mr. Newt Scamander's help, wizards have established special breeding grounds in the magical world to ensure that their blood contains magic," Wizet explained.

"Therefore, we no longer need to kill animals and extract the magical blood as in the Middle Ages... It's much more convenient."

"There must be some downsides to this..." Slytherin remarked, "For example, there probably aren't as many wizards who know that blood contains magic as there used to be, are there?"

"The original Hogwarts curriculum clearly stipulated that one must know the ' Blood-Drawing Curse ' to ensure that the blood used to brew Potions contained magic."

"Blood contains magic," this was the Potions knowledge that Snape began to teach Wizet after he understood the soul.

After being enlightened by Slytherin, Wizet finally understood what "blood containing magic" meant.

The magic contained in the blood originates from the soul, and this magic can act as an "Anchor Point" to "strengthen" the body.

This is why, once the soul is damaged, the magic that serves as the "Anchor Point" will also be lost, which in turn leads to physical defects, such as Alastor Moody's missing eye.

Slytherin coughed lightly. "Now that we've resolved the issue of blood, we can move on to the third step—to truly begin learning Bloodline Magic."

Wizet had already jotted down her thoughts and was waiting with sparkling eyes for Slytherin to speak.

Slytherin said slowly, "Blood is not only the bond between the soul and the body, but it can also serve as a bridge to connect them."

"Since the soul and body influence each other, we can use blood as a 'bridge' to mobilize the magic contained within it, and then manipulate the ' Anchor Point '..."

"In addition, we can also modify the 'bridge' of blood, mobilize external forces to 'reinforce' it, and make wizards even more powerful... This is Bloodline Magic."

"Mobilize external forces to 'reinforce' it?" Wizet suddenly recalled what she had seen in the Restricted Section. "For example... combining it with Magical creature?"

Slytherin was somewhat surprised, and nodded slightly, saying, "This is the most effective approach, and there are many ways to 'combine' them..."
