Moving with the Soul

As the armor transformed back into a teacup, Wizet closed his eyes, and the various details of casting the Armor Magic slowly surfaced in his memory.

Through this recollection, he realized a key point: the water droplets drawn by the spell gestures might not be water droplets at all, but rather drops of blood.

As for further conclusions, he needs to cast the spell again to gain more experience and verify his idea.

After all, it was his first time casting Armor Magic, and he was more focused on "casting the spell" to ensure a high success rate.

It wasn't because he didn't trust Dumbledore, but rather because it was his long-standing habit to ensure the magic would succeed first, in order to avoid the potential consequences of a failed spell.

This is an example that Filius Flitwick told them in their first year—remember the lesson of the Baruffio: be sure to pronounce the spell correctly to avoid having a bison standing on your chest.

Wizet raised her wand again, tracing a path with the outline of a water droplet, "Blood Oath Knight!"

The armor reappeared before him, and this time, casting the Armor Magic gave him even more insights, further validating his own ideas.

Based on his knowledge of Bloodline Magic, he sensed that the guiding gesture of this spellcasting was channeling the "soul" through the blood to the wand, thereby transforming it into armor.

As Dumbledore said, humans are different from Boggart; they possess a "spirit" and a "soul." Therefore, the role of blood is not only to guide, but also to serve as a bridge for the "spirit" to communicate with the "soul."

Using blood and the body that contains blood as a bridge, the "spirit" can communicate with the "soul," achieving smooth control over the armor.

Wizet now understands somewhat why Dumbledore said, "The point of this armor is not the spell."

The most important part is the inner workings and processes of Armor Magic, because it involves the wizard's use of the soul.

After analyzing the situation to this point, Wizet had a new idea and asked, "Headmaster Dumbledore, is this how I understand it?"

"This is only the first stage of Armor Magic... that's why it's just armor... it has many more possibilities, can I think that?"

Upon hearing Wizet's question, Dumbledore stroked his beard and nodded slightly, saying, "Very perceptive. It certainly has many more possibilities."

"The armor is just a form of expression. The reason I used this magic and made it look like armor was just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"Being able to actively use one's soul is not a simple matter... If we have to rank wizards, this is a relatively appropriate way to do so."

He didn't hold the wand; he simply waved his hand casually, and the entire Headmaster's Office sprang into action.

The silverware on the table flew into the air and flowed like a river. In the blink of an eye, the silverware had completely disappeared, turning into a river of silver.

Everything around us was like that, whether it was furniture or books, they all flew up, constantly stacking and rearranging themselves, transforming into new things;

The entire Headmaster's Office seemed to darken, and the river of silver dispersed into the air, transforming into a sky full of stars;

The furniture and books that had been rearranged and merged together have now transformed into Hogwarts Castle, bathed in the glittering starry sky.

"That's the process."

Dumbledore's gentle voice rang out, and in the blink of an eye, everything around Wizet returned to normal, as if everything that had just happened was just his illusion.

However, he also understood that what had just happened was definitely not an illusion, but rather the application of the soul, an extremely obscure and difficult-to-record realm.

As her understanding of the soul deepened, Wizet came to realize just how difficult it was to do something so effortlessly.

Rather than deliberately casting spells, Dumbledore's style was more like "doing whatever he wanted," able to do whatever he conceived of.

Wizet closed her eyes, recalling what she had just seen and felt;

He even recalled a distant past when Voldemort had mentioned to him that the so-called "free" use of magic actually involved a degree of manipulation of the soul.

This wouldn't surprise Wizet at all, after all, Voldemort was known as "the most dangerous Dark Wizard in history," so his magical abilities were beyond doubt.

Dumbledore returned to his seat, waved his hand to make the cold tea disappear, and refilled the two teacups with tea.

He leisurely ate his snacks, blew on the steaming tea, took a sip, and enjoyed the pleasant feeling.

As the sun shone even brighter outside the window, Wizet slowly opened her eyes.

He exhaled softly, looked at the teacup still on the tea tray, and tapped the table lightly with his finger.

The teacup trembled slightly, as if it had received some kind of summons, and then, like a standing long jump, it leaped directly off the tea table.

The teacup traced a beautiful arc in mid-air before landing in front of Wizet.

The tea rippled gently without spilling a drop; the teacup moved lightly, without making much noise.

"So this is what it feels like..." Wizet rubbed his temples and said with a sigh.

He neither cast Levitation Charm nor Summoning Charm, but based on the principles of Armor Magic, he used the connection between "spirit" and "soul" to imagine that the teacup and tea should come to him.

The tea and teacup responded to his idea, and so they jumped over without making a sound or spilling tea on the table.

Without a doubt, making good use of one's soul is an extremely difficult thing;

Even just bringing over a teacup and tea took him a lot of effort, and the effect was similar to Levitation Charm or Summoning Charm.

"Headmaster Dumbledore, I now feel even more strongly that... the wizards who invented the Levitation Charm and the Summoning Charm are truly remarkable!"

"Oh?" Dumbledore murmured, his expression quite surprised, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.

"There aren't many wizards who can use the soul in this way..." Wizet said, "After all, there are just too many things to consider!"

"But the Levitation Charm is different from the Summoning Charm. As long as wizards practice diligently, they can master it no matter what... I think that's perhaps the true meaning of magic..."

"It's not about showing off, but about enabling more people to have a more convenient life and relieving some people of their troubles... Creation is the meaning of magic."

"Indeed, creation is the meaning of magic..." Dumbledore nodded in satisfaction. "Destruction is far too easy; even a glass of water could be the cause of destruction."

"But to brew Potions that can dispel curses with just a cup of water... to achieve this, there are many things to consider; it's not a simple matter!"
