The Soul of Hogwarts Across Worlds

Chapter 259 "On: Animagus"

On: The Animagus

Animagus means: A wizard who can take the form of an animal.It is an acquired magical technique.

Corresponding to it is the innate Animagus.

However, this treatise does not discuss innate, but only this kind of acquired magical skills.

In animal form, wizards retain most of the thinking, self-awareness, and memory that humans possess.Even in animal form for many years, they can maintain a normal human lifespan.

However, when transformed into animals, their feelings and emotions are simplified, and they have many animal desires; wanting to eat the food that the animal they transformed into likes instead of wanting to eat human food.

This might explain why wizards can't transform magical animals.

I deduce that this may have something to do with blood!
The form of Animagus that wizards can have is nothing but the genetic sequence carried in the human evolutionary genes.

So Animagus is more of an alternative atavistic appearance.

(Accompanying text: Human genetic map, and biological evolution.)
There seems to be no blood relationship between humans and magical animals, and the evolved species are two independent branches without any connection between them.

But there is also a wizard in history who can Animagus magical animals, Merlin.

As we all know, Merlin has the blood of magical animals.This may be the reason why he was able to transform successfully.

But: the above discussion is not completely accurate, the data report needs the blood samples of human wizards, as well as the gene maps of a large number of magical animals, and the conclusion can only be drawn after comparison.

It is very difficult to become an Animagus, the process is very complicated and time-consuming, and there may be irreversible mistakes that may even endanger the wizard's life.

Therefore, it is said that less than one in a thousand wizards can become an Animagus. (guess)

Because being an Animagus has great potential advantages in the fields of espionage and crime.So there exists the Animagus Registry, and all Animagus must have their personal information and the precise appearance of their transformed form on record.

Normally the physical traits or disabilities of a human would be present in the transformed animal form.Unregistered Animagus could result in being thrown into Azkaban.

But obviously, most wizards did not follow this instruction.There are still a large number of unregistered Animagus in the wizarding world.

Nowadays, a large number of lobbying groups have begun to call on the British Ministry of Magic to abolish this decree.

This article will not discuss this in detail.

Transforming into an Animagus is extremely error-prone, and when it does, it's usually a major problem.

Sometimes half-human, half-animal mutations are produced, and the problem is usually that wizards are impatient with the long and complicated process.There is no known workaround for this lapse, and those who have such accidents are forced to spend the rest of their lives in this wretched form, unable to fully transform into animals or humans.

In addition, talents in shapeshifting and potions are very important for transforming Animagus.

The following are the detailed steps to practice Animagus:
First: For the entire moon (from full moon to next full moon), keep a mandrake leaf in your mouth.The leaves should not be swallowed or removed from the mouth at any time.If the leaves are removed from the mouth, the whole process needs to be restarted.

Mandrake contains scopolamine. When the dose reaches a certain level, the nervous system of the eater will become dull, because scopolamine can have a strong inhibitory effect on the cerebral cortex, and can also dilate capillaries to excite the respiratory center.

It is also beneficial for wizards to mobilize blood faster.

Today, wizards can use Muggle drugs including amphetamines, caffeine, methoxazole, pentylenetetrazol, nicothamide and strychnine to similar effect.

However, these drugs should be used under the professional guidance of Muggle doctors.Never self-inject.

Second: Take the leaf out of your mouth when the full moon is full, put it into a small crystal bottle and soak it in your saliva. mandrake leaves and start the process all over again).

After personal experimentation, the purpose of the above steps is to conjure up the animal in my heart to strengthen the psychological suggestion.

For example, wizards who master meditation magic can skip this step directly.

Third: Put one of your own hair in a crystal bottle illuminated by moonlight, one silver teaspoon from a place that has not been exposed to sunlight and been trampled on for seven days Over place the dew and the chrysalis of a skeleton hawk moth.

Put this mixture in a quiet, dark location and don't stare at it or it will disturb it before the next thunderstorm.

While waiting for the storm, the next steps need to be taken at sunrise and sunset.With the tip of the wand towards the heart, silently say the mantra "Amatou Animo Animagos".

Waiting for a storm can take weeks, months or even years.During this time, the crystal bottle needs to be completely undisturbed and out of sunlight.Exposure to sunlight can cause the most terrifying mutations.

Resist the urge to see potions before the lightning strikes.Keep repeating the silent mantra at sunrise and sunset, and at the right moment, when you touch the wand tip to your chest, you will feel another heartbeat, sometimes stronger than the first, sometimes weaker.

The above steps: the reason for its existence is because of the impact of celestial gravity on magic power, and the high-energy particles brought by the solar wind and the huge impact of solar radiation on potions and spells.

You can choose other places to replace it. Here we recommend a magic-filled zone or a strong magnetic environment.

Second, please master the Patronus Charm before practicing Animagus!
This powerful white magic can resist the influence of surrounding magical creatures or dark magic on potions and evil.

In the ancient Animagus, there were a lot of divination and alchemy, but not all of them were correct.

For example: Resist the desire to see potions, because the confusion of thoughts will lead to hesitation and unsteadiness in the process of transforming animals, resulting in the emergence of human-animal situations.

Fourth: Silently chant the mantra at the right time and continue to perform the daily ritual on time.

The moment lightning appears in the sky, immediately go to where your crystal bottle is located.If everything is done correctly, you'll find that it contains just enough blood-red potion for a sip.

It is imperative to move immediately to a wide, safe place so that your transformation does not startle others or put you in danger.Point the wand tip to the heart, say the spell "Amatou Animo Animagos", and drink the potion.

If all the steps are done correctly, you will feel a searing pain and a strong double heartbeat.Your mind will have a picture of the animal form you are about to take.

You have to be fearless, because it's too late to change your mind.
