Wizet had another theory: the reason he had been able to cross the threshold of "animal instinct" so quickly and cast the Patronus Charm while in Animagus form was also largely thanks to that maxim from the Emerald Tablet.
"As within, so without" could also explain why an Animagus and a Corporeal Patronus could take the same form: both were outward manifestations of the inward soul.

Wizet remained in his phoenix Animagus form. As he gently
