Chapter 603: Chapter 603: Grindelwald Ignites the Fire of Hope
Boom!
By the seaside, Andy tried several spells in a row.
At that moment, Andy felt as if he was discovering magic for the first time. The feeling of novelty made Andy want to keep trying without stopping for a moment.
Awesome!
This power definitely far exceeded the limits of what a wizard could wield. Andy even felt that he could, like the Obscurial Credence, use a spell to blow up half a mountain.
But...
After experimenting for a while, Andy finally calmed down.
This power... could there be any hidden dangers?
The problem of the Obscurus killing its host has always been a thorn in Andy's mind. If this hidden danger cannot be dealt with, Andy simply cannot enjoy the power he now has.
Andy has summed up three possible dangers of the Obscurus.
The first is the possibility mentioned by Sirius.
The Black family had conducted experiments on the Obscurus, and although they had destroyed the experimental data afterward, they had retained the final results of the experiments.
They believed that the reason why the Obscurus would leave its host was because the Obscurus could not adapt to stable magic.
The second was the example of Obscurial, Credence.
Although Credence lived into his twenties, according to Grindelwald, Credence's body was already very weak at that time.
After leaving Grindelwald, Credence should have died soon after.
Upon hearing this news, Andy made two guesses.
The first was that a body transformed by magic might be able to better contain the power of the Obscurus.
The second was that the Obscurus might absorb the life force of its host.
As for the third, it was an analysis from a mental perspective.
Since the host of the Obscurus detests their magical powers, the Obscurus, which has absorbed this emotion, is inherently self-destructive.
Alternatively, the Obscurus also detests the host because of the host's hatred.
This is a psychological factor.
Recalling these three possibilities, Andy first ruled out the last one.
In the process of merging mind and magic, Andy made a new discovery—the key factor that enables the fusion of mind and magic is maybe love!
Harry's protective magic is based on love!
The Patronus Charm is based on love!
The birth of the Peeves also stems from love—because the children love Hogwarts.
As for the Obscurial Credence... there is actually love in his heart.
He longs to be loved and to love.
According to Grindelwald, Credence is always searching for his origins, searching for his family.
In nature, he is a good boy, very gentle—according to Grindelwald.
Summing up these examples, Andy first ruled out the third possibility.
As for the second possibility...
Andy actually ruled it out too!
Because Andy doesn't feel any loss of vitality.
Andy is full of vitality and in perfect physical condition!
This is irrefutable evidence!
As for whether a body transformed by magic can better contain the power of the Obscurus, Andy cannot draw a conclusion for the time being.
However, Andy does feel that he is in pretty good shape!
Having ruled out the second and third possibilities, it leaves only the first.
"It's just..."
Andy's brow furrows slightly.
Because the first possibility could also be ruled out.
'Maybe... I'm different!'
Andy suddenly realised that he probably shouldn't compare himself with other Obscurial.
Although Andy had completed the fusion of his mind and magic, in principle, his Obscurus was completely different from other Obscurus—because Andy didn't harbour any negative emotions during the fusion process.
Andy had only given all his love!
In this context, the so-called 'exclusion' was completely meaningless.
Because none of these reasons can be applied to him!
Even if he doesn't want to admit it, the truth is that when he ruled out the possibilities, Andy did include himself in the process.
Especially when ruling out the second and third possibilities.
Andy actually deduced the process from the result!
Especially the process of using his own result to deduce someone else's.
This is a bit...
"..."
After a moment of silence, Andy suddenly sighed, "I still should look for the answer within myself!"
"But I..."
To be honest, Andy felt great. He didn't seem to have any problems at all.
When he held the wand, the magic inside him was a little active, but not violent. It was still under Andy's control, and the spellcasting was extremely smooth.
Almost as soon as he thought of it, the spell was cast!
And it was extremely powerful!
The magic didn't seem to be doing any harm.
There was no feeling of vitality draining away.
'Could it be that... I actually have no problems at all?'
'My fusion was perfect?'
This thought suddenly popped into Andy's mind.
This was a beautiful thought, and Andy was looking forward to such a result.
However, before drawing a concrete conclusion, Andy did not want to make such a judgement lightly.
After all, his life is at stake!
After thinking for a while, Andy took out the Two-way mirror from his pocket.
Soon, an old man's face appeared in the mirror. He glanced at Andy and said lightly, "I'm glad you're still alive. It seems you've succeeded."
"Yes!"
Andy nodded without denying it. "So far, I think I've succeeded. But... I don't know if there are any hidden dangers in this fusion."
Grindelwald was also curious about how it would turn out.
The reason he helped Andy was because Andy's experiment was about the upper limit of wizards.
If he succeeds, the wizards may have a better path ahead!
Upon hearing the news that Andy had succeeded, a flame of hope rekindled in Grindelwald's old body.
He looked at Andy as if he were looking at a ray of hope.
"Tell me..."
Grindelwald leaned in a little. "How do you feel now? Especially emotionally?"
"Emotionally?"
Andy was taken aback but nodded, "Maybe slightly. I'm feeling quite excited! Well, maybe it's more appropriate to describe it as being in a state of high spirits."
Grindelwald: "..."
"That's not what I'm talking about!"
Grindelwald said patiently, "There's a reason why Obscurus is considered a dark magic force. Because it affects the emotions of the host."
"This is the common characteristic of all dark magic!"
"As for the harm it does to the host. Even the simplest magic can harm the caster if it is not performed properly. So that is not a reason why Obscurus is considered dark magic."
Andy understood.
The reason why Obscurus is considered dark magic is not because it harms the host, but because it affects the host's emotions.
"But…"
Andy asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say that both Credence and Ariana are very kind people?"
