Important conversation

When we got home, we talked to our parents and told them how we spent the rest of our time at school. After that, Mom said it was late and we should go to bed.

But lying on the bed and thinking about what happened on the train, I couldn't sleep. All these thoughts about magic and how it affects the mind haunted me. After a little more time, I still got out of bed and went into the living room. Where I sat down at the table and asked the house elf to make some tea and snacks. I sat alone in the room and thought for a long time about everything I learned about magic. I also thought about my past life and realized that it affects my current life more than I wanted.

I called the house elf again and asked them to call my father and said I had a few questions. The house elf bowed and left. Less than 20 minutes later, Benton entered the room. He was out of sorts. Well, who would be when it's long past midnight and then suddenly an elf comes home and says that your son is calling you for an important conversation.

He took and moistened his throat with tea and looked at me with serious eyes. After half a minute, he sighed wearily and said.

"I thought you'd wait until tomorrow at least. "

"I couldn't sleep and a lot of questions were bothering me."

"Well, tell me what's eating you, my son."

"Magic, well, more precisely, magical energy, I know that it develops the body of a wizard, thanks to which the most powerful of us can live up to 300 centuries. I didn't see any problems in this, and although I noticed that studying elemental magic and dark magic can affect the mind, I didn't think that any magic could affect my sanity."

"Haa I didn't think you'd notice it so soon. Although I should have guessed because from the earliest years I was extremely intelligent and receptive to magic."

Father took another sip of tea and continued.

"You see, son, magical energy develops a wizard's body for a better ability to use magic. This is an extremely slow process and the most important thing is that it depends on the quality of magical energy. But wizards developed, studied, and studied. With more knowledge, the magical energy also adjusted, so the minds of wizards also began to change. It's extremely difficult and slow, but wizards have found ways to improve their magical energy and bodies not just over time, but manually themselves."

"That's how rituals came about."

"Not really, but yes. Through rituals and body changes. The old wizards were getting stronger and their magical energy accelerated the development of the mind to balance the body and mind. But there are big problems with this because the old rituals not only improved the magical energy of wizards but also their bodies. To do this, they could use the souls of people or animals, body parts, and various herbs. With herbs and potions, the effects weren't as great, but the other methods weren't as harmless. Dark magic is enhanced by negative emotions. Then dark magic was not forbidden, and dark emotions accumulated in the souls and bodies of the victims in rituals."

"So the magical energy was polluted by negative emotions and affected the mind. With drastic changes and further in-depth studies of dark magic, wizards were made more insane and crazy."

"That's right, but it's not just dark magic that affects emotions. Any magic will be enhanced by emotions, no matter what kind of magic and what kind of emotion and deepening of studies, the minds of wizards changed and distorted. Therefore, such branches of magic as the magic of the mind and souls appeared. Wizards wanted not only eternal life by studying souls, but most importantly to protect their souls and minds. It helped, but the longer a wizard lives, the more magical energy he has and the more he knows magic and magical laws."

"So there was a saying that all old wizards have their problems with their heads."

The father grinned and nodded his head in confirmation.

"So after a while, these changes accumulated and that's why pure-blooded wizards so fiercely support the superiority of blood."

"Because they have accumulated more changes over time, it is easier for them to study magic and their magical energy is of higher quality. But this is illogical. Since wizards in the first generation, Muggle-borns can still be stronger than pure-blooded wizards."

"At first, yes, but the more a pureblood wizard and a Muggle-born wizard study magic, the more the difference appears."

"Deep study. It's easier for pure-blooded wizards to learn magic and delve deeper into magical secrets."

"That's right, son, but that doesn't mean Muggle-borns can't study more complex magic and deep magical laws, it's just more complicated. "

Manuel closed his eyes and began to think about all the information. The more he realized that even if he didn't study void energy, he would still lose emotions over time.

My father seemed to be able to guess what I was thinking, so he said.

"Don't worry so much, if you rest more and have fun, you definitely won't lose yourself in magical changes. Because magical energy changes the wizard's mind due to the wizard's subconscious for the worst use of magic. Therefore, you need to study magic more with emotions and rest. So the magical energy will not greatly dampen emotions or dramatically change your mind."

I sighed and thanked my father. We finished our tea and went to our rooms to sleep.
