118 My will is above all else
Anton has a very special experience in the wizarding world.
The old wizards he came into contact with, Snape, Voldemort, and Dumbledore, all walked on the path of magic, which ultimately involved the soul.
However, none of these people actually understand what the soul is.
As Dumbledore said, this is the realm of the gods, and everyone has only peeked into a vague corner of it.
Even Voldemort, who claims to know the soul best, has seen a significant decline in the quality of his courses.
It is no longer the kind of comprehensive theory with a clear system and comprehensive quotations.
Many of his words are unclear and even contain conjecture.
Combining the wisdom of so many powerful wizards, Anton also has his own conjecture.
He felt that the so-called soul was not essence at all.
For example, the old wizard is in a ghost state, unable to attack or change reality. Are ghosts souls? If so, why can't they be attacked by soul-targeting attacks such as the Imperius Curse?
Moreover, Anton always had a strange idea in his mind when he observed the difference between the old wizard and normal ghosts.
If the self-knowledge, emotions and other emotions retained by the old wizard are all eliminated and become a real soul, does that mean that the soul is just a body?
Anton calls everyone’s thinking, memory, emotion, will, etc. the self.
Does it mean that the self lives in the soul body and the soul lives in the body? It feels like a three-layer matryoshka doll.
Based on this set of knowledge, he could easily distinguish the principles of many magic spells.
If a wizard is corroded by wolfsbane and becomes a werewolf, then the wolfsbane targets the soul body, so Lupine's identity is not harmed.
The trinity of self, soul and body influences each other.
Wolf's poison corrodes the soul and affects the body, causing it to transform into a werewolf.
The blood curse eroded the body, thereby affecting the soul, and finally eroded the self, leading to the complete transformation into a viper.
The Cruciatus Curse erodes the body and affects the self. When it reaches a certain level, this influence will also affect the soul.
The gauze curtains floated in the breeze, and the moonlight filled the air.
Anton took a pen and wrote down all his ideas on a notepad.
First, the blood curse has three stages: corroding the body, eroding the soul, and eroding the self. The best way is to give the soul a protective spell before corroding the soul, completely blocking the blood curse from the soul. In this way, the blood curse
The cursed beastman will have the identity of transforming into a viper without having to worry about his consciousness being swallowed up.
Second, wolfsbane cannot corrode the soul. The reason why wizards and animals change back and forth can be found from the operating principles of the blood curse, completely turning this into an alternative Animagus that is controllable and non-infectious.
Third, Dumbledore's so-called Dragon Mark Curse that restricts the use of black magic actually targets the body and does not involve the self and soul. It is more similar to the concept of a confusion curse.
What's interesting is that Anton has a guess. If he firmly believes that the Death Curse is white magic, can he use it without restrictions?
Fourth, what the old wizard used to call ghost armor gives the soul a place to live...
"This thing is a Horcrux!"
"How do you know?" A voice suddenly sounded next to him, scaring Anton's body into goosebumps.
He slowly turned his head and found the ugly face of the old wizard, and he was relieved immediately.
"Didn't you say you wouldn't come back for Christmas?"
The old wizard shrugged his headless shoulders, "I think it would be better to go back to my own home for Christmas."
Home, a wonderful topic.
After many twists and turns in the journey of life, not only Anton has a family, but the old wizard also has a family.
His expression was complicated, and he obviously didn't want to talk about too sensational topics. He raised his hand and stared at Anton, "How did you know that it was a Horcrux?"
Anton smiled proudly, "It's very simple. The ego resides in the soul body, and the ego can only directly affect the soul. Your house armor is essentially an alternative soul body with actual physical meaning."
"???" The old wizard looked confused.
"I can no longer think and understand what you are saying, but I know that I may not be able to understand what you are saying when I am alive."
This already involves a very in-depth theory of magic. Unless Anton can explain his understanding systematically and clearly, others may not be able to understand it.
"My stupid teacher, you did a stupid thing." Anton chuckled.
"You have invented the 'Crack Curse' unprecedentedly, and you have attached your own self to your soul body. This is really powerful. The other ghosts have lost their self and have become like magic portraits that can move.
It’s just an intelligent program based on my habits during my lifetime.”
"But!" Anton raised his finger, "You made a mistake!"
The old wizard was obviously a little confused. He sighed and said, "I know you tried your best to explain it to teach me, but I really can't understand it."
Anton took out his wand and said, "To put it simply, your true self should not be attached to the soul body, but should hide inside the body. It's like it's snowing outside now, and the person should be in the room, not in the body.
Lying on the roof and facing the wind and snow honestly."
"Teacher, let's pray. If my guess is correct, my cognition is higher than everything else, and the wizard's will is higher than the soul. If I think a spell is not black magic, I can bypass Dumbledore's restrictions on me.
."
"Let's turn the turtle over!"
"Twist the soul!"
A faint magical light lit up, and Anton smiled slightly, "It seems that I guessed right."
The light of the curse passed through the old wizard's body and disappeared into the bookshelf. Anton adjusted the intensity of the curse little by little.
At a certain moment, the old wizard suddenly screamed, "Merlin's stinky feet, I feel the power of the curse!"
Miraculously, as the spell was completely and successfully released, the old wizard's body changed from translucent to milky white. Although it still looked pale, the color seemed to have become a little more vivid.
"I……"
The old wizard looked at his hand in surprise, "I feel the cold wind in winter. I actually feel the cold wind in winter."
He gently put his hand on the bookshelf, and even though he was deeply immersed in it as always, he screamed again and again, "I feel the touch of the wood!"
The old wizard floated around excitedly, touching here and there, then floated out the window and flew towards the sky filled with snow.
"Hahaha, Anton, I feel what you said about the cold feeling of welcoming the snowflakes in the sky!"
"Uuuuuuuuah, I didn't feel well when I was alive."
“I won’t feel it at all after I die.”
"I……"
"I feel like I have a new life!"
After going crazy for a while, I returned to the room.
"I find that my will is no longer affected by the winds of the world, and I am stopping to dissipate!"
The head in the old wizard's hand had a complicated expression on his face, and he stared at Anton for a long time, "Thank you so much, Anton."
