The Wizard of Hogwarts is Unscientific.

Chapter 239 Fortunately, you are just magic

"Huh?" Mr. Cabon was taken aback upon hearing this.

Although he was a master of spells, he had not studied Obscurus and Patronus Charms before, so he couldn't understand Flitwick's meaning for the time being.

Mind and magic... This is serious academic research, isn't it?

Mr. Capon looked at Flitwick with a puzzled expression. Does this kind of research also need to be approached with caution?

Flitwick sighed and explained, "We can roughly divide our control over emotions into two types, but when it comes to magic... no one can predict what the consequences will be."

"Hmm... Felius, I must say, your concerns are valid." Mr. Cabon quickly understood what Flitwick meant.

Human beings' control over their emotions can be broadly divided into two types: "venting" and "suppression".

From a magical perspective, releasing emotions along with magical energy creates magic. Using positive emotions is white magic, while using negative emotions is black magic.

But once you harness the magic of emotional 'suppression'...

It is well known that the result of suppressing magic with negative emotions is that it turns magic into silence.

In the history of the wizarding world, there has never been a case of an Obscurial living past the age of ten.

But does a positive attitude always guarantee safety?

In Mr. Scamander's research, Obscurians are parasitic magical creatures. In other words, Obscurians possess biological instincts and are a type of magical creature.

While Andy's fat cat guardian spirit also possesses a certain degree of sentience, the guardian spirit spell is only a magic spell, so Andy can still control it.

But turning magic into magical creatures is a completely different concept.

Because the instinct of living beings is to pursue freedom.

While we can tame some creatures, the consequences of failing to tame them... are clearly something Andy cannot afford.

"Now that I think about it, although Andy's guardian spirit has a certain degree of spirituality, it is actually more like a picture that has been infused with thoughts, and cannot be considered a real magical creature."

Mr. Capon remarked with a sigh, "To turn magic into magical creatures... frankly, that would mean we'd completely lose control."

"That's exactly what I'm most worried about," Flitwick sighed.

When a wizard infuses their mind into magic, it's as if they're imbuing that magic with thought. Magic possessing its own consciousness... For a wizard, this is a terrifying thing.

If the magic is stable, this will never happen.

But Andy has a way to restore magic to its unstable state; he is capable of doing so.

Mr. Cabon said, "Actually, the current situation is already perfect. Felius, you should find some time to have a good talk with Collins."

"He may not have thought about this problem yet, but he won't never think about it."

Only talk about negative emotions...

Releasing negative emotions along with magical energy creates dark magic. Suppressing magical energy with negative emotions creates the Obscurus.

The Guardian Charm is a special kind of magic.

Andy is currently focused on his research into the Guardian Angel Charm, so he hasn't thought about this issue yet. But once he gets back to the essence of the problem, he'll immediately understand everything.

"Karl, you don't understand!"

Flitwick was somewhat troubled. "Collins is incredibly passionate about magic, and he's very confident. To be honest, I'm a little hesitant to tell him."

"No, no, no!"

Mr. Cabon said, "I have the exact opposite view. No one would entrust their life to another person; it's a biological instinct."

"Anyone who understands this will never go on to study it further."

Flitwick sighed upon hearing this; he was still somewhat conflicted.

Andy Collins... that kid is really a bit of a worry.

Mr. Cabon continued, "Felius, I know many professors at various schools, and I've noticed a very interesting commonality among them. Do you know what it is?"

"It's about caution! Dumbledore was the same way."

"Perhaps it's because you've seen too many unreliable little wizards that you tend to assume little wizards lack self-control."

"But we can't generalize about everyone; there will always be some special individuals who will surprise us."

Flitwick took a sip of his drink and sighed, "Perhaps! But you must understand, we are professors."

Mr. Cabon shrugged.

Different identities naturally lead to different perspectives on problems.

Professor... one cannot act arbitrarily when dealing with young wizards.

Mr. Capon did not continue the topic and instead brought up the matter of the thesis.

……

After dinner, Andy went to the Room of Requirement's practice room to practice magic.

The fat cat guardian spirit flies by my side.

Guardian Charm – Andy hasn't practiced this spell in a while.

"Speaking of which... why does the host die immediately after the silent one leaves the host? And why does the silent one also disappear when the host dies?"

Andy had never thought about this question before.

But when Andy realized that magic might be related to life, he immediately thought of the Obscurus.

In Chinese parlance, magic is the primordial Qi.

When the primordial Qi disappears, a person naturally dies.

Let's talk about Momo Ran again.

Primordial Qi is the fundamental essence that constitutes all things in the universe. When this power is infused into the mind, it will give birth to its own spiritual power, thus evolving from 'energy' into a special kind of life.

Thinking about it this way, many questions can be explained.

Looking at his fat cat guardian, Andy suddenly sighed, "Luckily, you're just magic."

The fat cat guardian blinked, looking bewildered.

The primordial Qi is the foundation of life. When it possesses spiritual power and evolves into true life...

Andy's magic will no longer belong to Andy.

"If we compare an Obscurus to a child, when a child grows up, it will want to leave its parents and live independently. But the Obscurus and the wizard are symbiotic, so it will take away all the wizard's life force."

Andy suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Fortunately, I didn't continue my research.

Furthermore, if this theory is followed, and magic power and primordial energy are the same kind of energy, then everyone actually possesses magic power.

It's just that most people can't use it.

But there is still a problem.

"According to Chinese tradition, a person dies when their primordial energy disappears. But a wizard retains his or her magical powers until he dies of natural causes."

Unless... magic originates from the primordial Qi.

Innate and acquired?

If that's the explanation, then it makes sense.

Furthermore, there is another piece of evidence that proves magic is related to primordial Qi.

In the magical world, the more powerful a wizard's magic, the longer they live.
