"My dear disciple."
Professor Terra appeared on the seat in the store compartment in the blink of an eye.
Quirrell was not surprised by this. He still stood at the door of the cubicle, staring at the time on the wall clock. In ten minutes, they should open for business.
The long-awaited Sean touched the brooch:
"Professor, do you know Soul Transfiguration?"
Professor Terra paused for a moment after hearing this. She did not directly answer Sean's question, but looked at Sean's brooch with curiosity.
"A clever transformation, but there are still many flaws in the will... Have you already started the Transfiguration ritual of Animagus?"
The professor raised his eyebrows.
"Yes."
Sean admits.
"Until Animagus Transfiguration is completed, follow Minerva·McGonagall."
... or me.
Professor Terra swallowed her last words gently, she could not help but recall the damn adoption ceremony that happened under her nose but she didn't know about it.
To this day she feels remorse.
"As for Soul Transfiguration... even in Wagadu, few wizards can realize what the Transfiguration they cast is. Even if they have been coerced by Dream Messenger..."
Professor Terra stretched out a finger and tapped it in the air, and a few spells to prevent eavesdropping were completed.
In a calm tone, she told the story that had spread across the Africa continent for thousands of years.
"Soul Doppelganger, Dream Messenger. Knowledge that is not common on the Europe continent has existed in Wagadu for more than a thousand years.
The wizards of Wagadu believe that the soul is the most essential part of a wizard. Even a wandering soul can carry all the magic of the wizard..."
Sean is thoughtful, sounding like Voldemort's wandering spirit state.
Can this explain the surprising fact that Voldemort regained control of his powerful magical power once he was resurrected?
The professor's voice then sounded:
"In the magic school located at Africa Uganda Moon Mountain: Wagadu, it admits students from all over Africa.
Students who are admitted to Wagadu will receive news from the then principal through Dream Messenger. Dream Messenger will leave a token of Wagadu to the little wizards when they sleep - usually a stone with an inscription.
When the little wizards wake up, they will find themselves holding it in their hands.
Is it surprising?"
Professor Terra said with a teasing tone.
Sean nodded. He had never heard of such an enrollment method... What if there are students who have no dreams?
"Actually, I was just as surprised as you when I came to Hogwarts and saw you using a book and a pen to enroll students."
Professor Terra continued,
"Now, can you guess what Dream Messenger is?"
"Principal's Soul Doppelganger."
Sean didn't hesitate.
"What a wonderful understanding! Dream Messenger is the then principal Soul Doppelganger.
It is also an animal, because the wizard will only appear in animal form in dreams, allowing the wizard to ignore time and space.
Dreams allow elves, ghosts and Doppelganger to move freely without any hindrance due to distance. People who are far apart can also establish instant communication, and most of the time it is a semi-dialogue state.
I have to say that it is particularly suitable for recruiting students...
However, after Soul Doppelganger appears, it will always reveal some events to the sleeper, whether it is recent or long-term events - such as the admission of Wagadu.
This is obviously a big deal, enough to establish a dream connection.
It is in this connection that the wizard naturally happens Soul Transfiguration."
Professor Terra paused for a while, allowing Sean to understand the relationship between Soul Transfiguration and Soul Doppelganger.
"The so-called Soul Transfiguration is just the wizard Transfiguration becoming his own Soul Doppelganger. The souls of the two have not actually changed at all, so it is a very normal thing for the wizard to maintain his own consciousness."
She went on to say,
"Wagadu wizards can freely Transfiguration transform into animals because they have found and mastered their own Soul Doppelganger.
As for the method of their practice, I have already told you, my disciple.
Of course, you are not so stupid as to think that simple sleep is enough? We also need the support of some rituals.
Another point is that in dreams, some wizards will have more than one Soul Doppelganger.
And for some wizards who are better at Soul Transfiguration, they can easily Transfiguration into any animal form. Because their Soul Transfiguration has already reached a terrifying point, and they are no longer limited to the form of a single animal.
I have only heard of one such wizard, you should know who it is."
"Merlin."
Sean replied.
"How shall I praise you, my disciple?"
Professor Terra smiled happily.
"What about the druids?"
Sean suddenly asked a question.
"That group of ancient wizards who can Transfiguration transform into various animals? Oh, I don't know much about their magic. But one thing is certain.
Magic leads to the same goal through different paths. Maybe they use different methods to perform Transfiguration, but the principle will always be the same - that is, it should be attributed to the Transfiguration of the wizard's soul."
Professor Terra thought for a while and finally answered.
There was a loud noise at the door of Fairy Tale Workshop, and the guests who received the invitation entered the store happily, looking eagerly at the lifelike sculptures of Fantastic Beasts.
Mr. Weasley, who looked happy, Mrs. Weasley, who looked surprised and incredulous, and Wagadu, the witch who wanted to increase the price, were also mixed in the crowd.
They were quickly noticed by Sean who glanced through the crack of the door in the cubicle.
"The door is open... Since you are interested in Soul Transfiguration, I will go and get some books for you.
However, my disciple, you must be deeply aware of one thing. If you tamper with the deepest secret at will - the source of life, the essence of self - you must be prepared to bear the most extreme and dangerous consequences."
These are the words in <Magical Theory>.
Sean nodded, he could understand this. After all, what could be more self-centered than the soul of a wizard?
"The risk of learning Soul Transfiguration is extremely high. I think you should be familiar with the cases of its failure.
Five-Legged Monster, and--"
Sean is not surprising.
Five-Legged Monster is a XXXXX-level dangerous Magical Creatures of Delia Island found only in the northern part of Scotland. They have irreversibly lost their human form due to Transfiguration.
But the next case the professor mentioned really surprised him.
"Blood Curse."
"Blood Curse?"
Sean's mature voice repeated it again.
"Blood Curse is a mysterious and serious curse. This curse will cause people to switch between human and animal forms, but they will eventually become animals permanently and cannot be reversed."
