Fundamental Differences Brought by Magic Circuits
After communicating with "ancient people" like Salazar, Lucien also learned that most wizards from a thousand years ago might not have been very good at protecting themselves from Muggle.
To give a simple example: wizards who can Apparition are very difficult to catch; even fellow wizards have a hard time keeping them at bay, let alone Muggle.
But even in this era of widespread magical education, how many wizards have truly mastered the Apparition?
In Salazar's time, the skill levels of wizards varied even more.
Some are skilled at brewing potions, some at manipulating elements, and some even at cooking magic...
They often focus on only one or two areas, and their combat ability relies entirely on personal talent and instinct.
Unfortunately, witch hunts were rampant at that time.
Once a wizard is discovered, he will be arrested, tied to a stake, and burned at the stake.
Some powerful wizards even deliberately allow themselves to be kidnapped, enjoying the "fun" of being burned at the stake in front of a group of Muggle, and then using various forms of magic to escape.
To them, it was nothing more than a performance, a mockery of the ignorant.
But what about wizards who lack the necessary strength?
They were captured, tied to pyres, and flames licked at their feet, but no one came to their rescue.
They might only be able to pray, or they might not even be able to cast a single spell before being choked unconscious by the thick smoke.
Their names were not remembered, their stories were not told, they were just one of the "burnt wizards" in the statistics...
Salazar's voice pulled Lucien back to reality. "You want to know how to remove the curse while ensuring the soul's safety... but from your description, the cursed person's body and circuits are in even worse shape?"
Lucien nodded in agreement. "Her body and circuits are deeply entangled with the curse, and have been completely mutated and twisted."
Salazar pondered for a moment,
"Then you should try to resolve the curses within your body and circuits first."
"The body is the 'soil' of the soul. Only when the soil is fertile and the body contains abundant vitality can the soul grow steadily."
Lucien has a deep understanding of this point—although he learned it from negative examples.
When Voldemort possessed Quirrell, he did so by squeezing the life force out of Quirrell's flesh and blood to replenish his own remnant soul, thus briefly unleashing even stronger magical power.
The soul fragments in that Horcrux diary were the same, secretly absorbing the user's life force to strengthen themselves.
A healthy body and abundant vitality can nourish the soul.
What about the circuit?
"As I said before, the circuit is determined by both the body and the soul." Salazar held up a finger, his vertical pupils gleaming eerily. "It also acts as a 'bridge' between the two, allowing their connection to become even stronger."
Upon hearing this, Lucien had a sudden inspiration and blurted out:
"Is this one of the reasons why wizards live longer than Muggle? Is it because their life force is nourished more directly and fully? And the soul should also give back to the body?"
Salazar smiled, a rare hint of gentleness appearing on his usually stern face.
"That's why I believe wizards are born extraordinary. We are indeed... superior" to Muggle.
There was no deliberate arrogance in his tone; it was simply a calm statement of facts.
Lucien's eyes flickered.
Under normal circumstances, wizards do live longer than Muggle.
As long as you don't do anything reckless, you can live to be 150 or even 200 years old.
Aside from the wondrous power of magic, even lifespan differs greatly between wizards and Muggle...
Lucien paused his reflections on the differences between wizards Muggle, returning his thoughts to Nagini's question.
According to Salazar, once the body and circuits return to normal, they will naturally provide positive feedback to the soul.
If we view cursing healing as a tug-of-war between two sides, then naturally, the more assistance one's side receives, the better.
Restoring the body and circuits first is equivalent to adding two powerful reinforcements to Nagini's side.
With Salazar's reminder, Lucien realized that he needed to adjust his previous thinking.
I initially thought that addressing the most difficult issue—the soul—would be the priority, but now it seems that healing the body and the circuits can proceed first.
This is not only easier to get started with, but it also creates better conditions for subsequent soul healing.
Well, purifying the curse on the body and circuits might also weaken the curse on the soul to some extent.
After all, the three are interconnected as a whole; if one improves, the others will also benefit.
The physical body is relatively easier to deal with; Liuguang's Purifying Fire has proven its effectiveness. Although the process is painful, at least the direction is correct.
The human skin exposed at the edges of the scales scorched by the Purifying Fire is the best proof.
Combined with the application of Transfiguration, that's enough.
As for the circuit...
The purifying Purifying Fire of Liuguang can burn away curses, including those entangled with Magic Circuit.
It's just that Nagini has carried the curse for so long that his circuits have even become one with the curse.
Breaking the curse also disrupts the circuit.
Either try to remove the curse using other "gentler" methods instead of Purifying Fire; or try to rebuild the circuit while Purifying Fire the curse, dismantling and rebuilding simultaneously...
Lucien fell into deep thought.
Salazar did not interrupt him, but simply looked quietly at the young wizard. After a moment, he spoke again:
"The curse that the cursed one bears is that their body Transfiguration into that of a wild beast, and they lose their reason as a human being."
"When healing the soul, you can try to help her rediscover her strongest and deepest memories and emotions as a human being—those are the soul's 'anchor points.'"
"You should have realized this when you were learning the Patronus Charm."
