Hogwarts: From Luna's House to Godhood Through Intense Competition

He took a deep breath, his voice no longer as cold as usual, but trembling slightly, "Go on!"

……

Wizette gave an example: "Our current approach is essentially using 'Gobalot's Third Law' as an antidote, which contains an important rule..."

Snape continued, "The antidote for the mixed poison needs to be greater than the sum of the individual antidotes."

“That’s right!” Vizette replied. “That’s why we modify spells, gestures, and optimize the process as much as possible…”

"The final changes actually look worse than the original spell... I mean, I may have gone astray from the very beginning."

Snape puffed out his cheeks but ultimately remained silent.

Vizette cleared her throat and continued, "No matter how it's modified, it's still adding content, so it will naturally be more complex than the original spell..."

Snape raised an eyebrow. "Since addition is useless, then we should do subtraction."

“Yes!” Vizette said, “If we don’t need ‘Gobalot’s Third Law’… then we should use ‘dung stones’!”

“A dung bezoar is a stone that comes from the stomach of a goat. We don’t even need to know its specific composition, we just need to know that it can detoxify.”

"You could even say it can be used as an antidote because it's taken from a goat's stomach, which contains so many components..."

“We don’t need to investigate these components. When we encounter someone who has been poisoned, we just need to put the fecal stone in their mouth, and the fecal stone will naturally take effect.”

"So this is your idea..." Snape narrowed his eyes slightly, "'Patron Saint Healing Charm'... the one that's least difficult to discern is actually the 'Patron Saint Charm'..."

“Yes!” Vizette nodded. “It should be hidden like the various components inside a ‘dung bead’…”

"The purpose of 'dungstone' is to detoxify, but I want to improve the 'Guardian Charm' so that it can be used on unicorns as well. What I need is... to make it penetrate into the wizard's soul!"

"This is the effect of the Divine Slash Spell...to touch the soul with the body!" Snape raised his eyebrows. "When refining the spell, the latter part can be completely removed!"

"Those who can become healers will have some understanding of the soul... Even if they cannot summon a physical guardian deity, they can still cast a guardian deity spell to create a vague and ethereal guardian deity."

……

Vizette opened her notebook and found the page where Flitwick had provided the words. "Professor Flitwick told me that the spell itself can subtly guide a wizard's spellcasting."

"If the guidance is too explicit, the scope of the magic's application will actually be weakened... Hiding the 'Guardian Charm' within the 'Healing Spell' is actually more conducive to penetrating the soul!"

"It's similar to the detoxification approach of directly using dung stones..." Snape gave a thumbs up, rubbing his chin thoughtfully. "We don't need to emphasize the type of poisoning, we just need to know that he's been poisoned!"

Vizette said, "Most people practice the Patronus Charm based on the emotion of 'happiness,' so the Patronus they manifest..."

"It is merely a guardian of 'happiness'... but those who have suffered soul-wrenching injuries often do not experience much happiness during the healing process."

“Everyone’s soul is unique…” Snape understood what Vizet was trying to say. “At this time, guiding with ‘happiness’ will have the opposite effect on the healing process.”

“Souls may be unique, but they also have commonalities. That’s the key!” Snape said, then suddenly realized something.

His tone held a hint of surprise, "Vizet, your understanding of the soul has reached this level?"

“It’s just a simple introduction…” Vizet said. “It’s something I learned a little from when I was studying the Boggarts.”

"I understand that the soul has an ethereal and unique part, and I also understand that the soul has... a part that can resonate with others."

“At your age, to have come this far…” Snape gestured with his chin, as if he was about to say something.

In the end, he said nothing. "Now that my mind is clear, I'm just one step away from completing the 'Guardian Angel Healing Spell.' Let's begin!"

Vizette seemed to catch a fleeting glimpse of relief and emotion in Snape's eyes.

He had seen a similar look in Dumbledore's eyes before.

Vizet didn't dwell on the issue; as Snape had said, perfecting the 'Patron Curse Healing' was the most important thing.

As the inventor of the Shadowstep spell, Snape knew very well how to modify the spell's incantation to retain its soul-severing effect as much as possible.

The runic book provided by Serena Pendragon also came in handy at this time;

After translating it, Wizette discovered that this runic book contained a great deal of content related to the soul;

This is a very rare occurrence; even in the Hogwarts library, there are no books that directly describe the soul.

It was precisely because of its strong connection to the soul that Vizette dared not read it in depth. If she encountered anything she could not understand, she would immediately skip the relevant content and erase the related memories.

Vizette understood that knowledge related to the soul always needed to be treated with utmost care to avoid straying from her magical path.

……

With Wizette's new approach as a foundation, coupled with their previous rounds of revisions, progress was naturally incredibly rapid.

As more and more discarded parchment lay on the ground, they finally finished making the changes. Just as they both breathed a sigh of relief, a strange feeling arose.

It was an inexplicable force that pushed Vizet away from his body and towards an extremely mysterious place.

Vizette instantly realized that she had been pushed into the "other world" once again.

Including his previous two trips to the "other world," this was his third trip to the "other world"...

Chapter 216 Soul Blade Healing Spirit

Being able to enter the "other world" through the study of magic actually means that this magic has finally been completed and achieved the desired effect.

In the "other world", due to the "Guardian God Healing Spell", several brilliant star clusters related to it have gathered together.

The "Guardian Angel Healing Spell" transformed into dazzling threads of light, creating subtle connections between these brilliant star clusters.

Vizet was quite adept at exploring the "other world";

During his exploration, he stumbled upon a cluster of stars belonging to Snape, which contained a spell created by Snape—the Upside-Down Bell Charm.

The method for casting the Upside-Down Bell Charm is very simple: just pinch the wand and flick it upwards. A flash of light will burst out and hit the opponent, suspending them upside down in the air.

This is an ingenious spell; it appears simple, yet it utilizes the power of runes.

Vizette could see that the Upside-Down Bell Mantra contained three runes: ???

The "?" in its basic sense represents "water flow," which, when applied to the Upside-Down Golden Bell Mantra, extends to a state of "suspension."

The meaning of "?" is simple and clear: this rune represents a person, and can be directly regarded as the "target of the spell".

Adding a question mark ("?") to represent "journey" or "movement" changes the position of the question mark, which represents the "target of the spell."

The three runes not only exist in the Upside-Down Golden Bell Mantra, but also in its reverse mantra—the Golden Bell Falling to the Ground Mantra;

The use of the Bell of the Fall and its counter-curse reveals that Snape was not only skilled in Potions, but also extremely adept at Charms and ancient magic subjects such as Neven.

-------------------------------------

The exploration of the "Otherworld" didn't last long. Vizet quickly came to her senses and could clearly feel that she was back in Snape's office.

Snape glanced at Vizet, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Looks like this isn't your first time... going to that place?"

Vezel nodded, choosing not to hide anything. "I've been there twice before, by sheer luck! Professor Snape... if I may ask, what did you see there?"

"Ravenclaw, deduct one point!" Snape raised an eyebrow. "This isn't something you can achieve by luck!"

He looked at Vizette in silence for a moment before slowly saying, "But there's nothing wrong with this mindset... Keep it up! Your path of magic... will go much further than mine!"

Just as Vizet opened his mouth, about to say something, Snape continued, "What can you see there? Just a lawn, nothing special."

“A lawn?” Vizet frowned slightly, realizing something—it seemed that only his “other world” lacked a “place to land”.

Professor McGonagall once said that the "other world" she saw was an ocean, and she was standing on the shore feeding a fish.

Dumbledore's "Otherworld" is a valley where he planted some crops;

Snape's "other world" was a lawn...

What the three of them have in common is that they all have a place to settle down, while the "other world" that Vizet entered is a brilliant galaxy, and he always maintains a "floating" state.

……

“Everyone sees things differently, there’s no need to…” Snape pursed his lips, not continuing, but instead waving his wand.

A toad followed the trajectory of Snape's wand and landed in front of the two.

Snape glanced in the direction of the door, waved his wand to close the office door, and then cast several spells in succession towards the door, as if to ensure that no one would break in.

"Even though we've gained that place's approval... we still need to see it for ourselves. To examine the trauma of the soul... the Unforgivable Curse is a good choice."

Vizette immediately realized, "The Cruciatus Curse?"

“That’s right!” Snape nodded. “Now that you understand the soul so well, let’s be more open about it…”

"The Crucifixion can damage the soul, and the longer and more powerful the Crucifixion is, the more difficult it is to heal this damage."

“There are similar concepts in bloodline magic…” He looked at Vizette, “You should know something about them, right?”

Vizette nodded. “Soul, blood, and body… Although the soul is dominant, the soul influences the body, and the body also influences the soul.”

"Therefore, if the soul is damaged, as long as it is not too serious, it can often 'heal itself' through recuperation... while serious soul damage is due to the lack of effective treatment methods."

“But now we have it!” Snape said in a deep voice, “'Soul Healing' is an effective treatment!”

The revamped "Guardian Angel Healing Spell" naturally needed a new name, and "Soul Healing Spell" was just such a new name.

The main reason was that Wizette and Snape were actually not very interested in naming things, so they simply chose the simplest and most straightforward name.

“That’s why toads are so popular…” Snape raised his wand, “They can be used not only to experiment with potions, but also with magic…”

Vizette nodded, his expression turning serious, and waved his wand to summon a bottle of Soul Soothing Potion.

"Begin!" Snape pointed his wand at the toad. "Crunch in the Heart!"
