Fawkes seemed to understand something. He fluttered gracefully over to Dumbledore, tilted his head, plucked a feather from himself, and placed it on the desk.
Wizet looked thoughtfully at the feather Fawkes had left behind.
The predecessor of the phantom phoenix had been a phoenix Patronus. Thus, the Cheering Charm and Wizet's Patronus Charm could create a kind of magical resonance.
A phoenix could be reborn in fire and inherently possessed the magical attribute of "fire."
This magical attribute could be further developed, yielding more related magical properties. It was perfectly suited to serve as the "medium" for this Ritual Magic.
It was his breakthrough in understanding Ritual Magic that had allowed Wizet to formulate his current plan: a Ritual Magic composed of a trinity—the "medium," the merpeople's shared consensus, and wizards.
This Ritual Magic had many things to accomplish, yet the overall plan was not particularly complicated. To explain why, it was necessary to mention the magical experiments he had conducted in the Shadow World.
In the Shadow World's Black Lake, he had left a phantom phoenix for the merpeople's light-and-shadow forms. The thread-like extensions from that phantom had connected with the merpeople's phantoms.
There was also the Cheering Charm, which could soothe the emotions of the Black Lake merpeople. The fundamental magical principles of the Cheering Charm involved stirring the emotions within the soul.
After all, "happiness" itself was a highly positive emotion and one of the techniques used to cast the Patronus Charm.
Since it involved the emotion of "happiness," Wizet had also employed techniques related to mental magic when designing the Ritual Magic.
Using the emotion of "happiness" as a "fulcrum," he would stir up and inspire the Black Lake merpeople's pursuit of beauty as much as possible, making that yearning stronger.
