"Actually, I'm pretty surprised by both your numbers and the changes."

"What's so surprising?"

"Any chimerologist in his work seeks to create a perfectly balanced organism. Even naturally evolved beings lack balance. It is said that the lack of this balance, in general, led to the formation of chimerology as a magical science. Not the desire to create an unknown beast, not the desire to create a fighting machine, but precisely to achieve perfect balance. Equilibrium. Your readings are close to the desired, and it's very interesting. Among other things, your consciousness, albeit fragmented, but possessing your knowledge, managed to smooth out undesirable elements in my work on my own body by some manipulations, bringing the data closer to balanced. What do you know that no one else knows?"

This question made me think. Really, what is so special that I know?

"Hmm..." I decided to think out loud. "I have a perfect memory. Almost the entire Restricted Section is stored there, a lot of diverse literature on the Hogwarts curriculum, the usual school curriculum, the average level of general knowledge of medical, technical, and natural sciences of ordinary people ... Understanding the principles of operation of so many devices of the ordinary world… Yes, a lot of things."

Delphine leaned back in her chair thoughtfully, and putting her hand on the table, began to involuntarily tap her finger on the tabletop. I waited patiently.

"It makes sense," she said quietly. "Most of the magical disciplines of our time have their origins in antiquity, partially formed in the twelfth century, and finally - only at the beginning of the nineteenth century. Wizards throughout history have been many steps ahead of ordinary people in the matter of knowing the world around them. Always, until the middle of this century. Therefore, now some guilds are actively lobbying for training programs taking into account Muggle knowledge. The conservatism of wizards knows no bounds. It's incredibly difficult. By virtue of my upbringing, I am also a conservative, although I struggle with this trait of mine for the sake of knowledge and strength."

"No wonder," I couldn't hold back a slight smirk. "The means of cognition are radically different, as are the results of the substantiation of certain phenomena. If I understood correctly from the books, wizards only two hundred years ago began to actively use arithmancy for the widespread compilation of models of the world and phenomena around them. Do you think that the fusion of various, albeit not very deep knowledge that I have in my head allowed such manipulations to be carried out?"

"Why not? It is a pity that it is impossible to extract the train of thought from memory. And most likely, it would not have worked. My experience in occlumency tells me that the reverse merge most likely turned the memories into mush."

I liked that Lady Greengrass came to the same conclusions as I did. Almost until the very end of the day, we analyzed the ritual results and deciphered certain data, simultaneously coming to the same conclusions. Given that long-lived werewolves over the years adopt some habits and elements of appearance that make them related to the beast, and every full moon, this effect increases by a tiny fraction of a percent, then a similar situation should be with me. However, I am not turning into anyone, but only improving, and therefore, every month, I will become stronger, and the limit of these forces is still unknown. However, even if we roughly estimate the time frame, then the level shown during the ritual will be reached in fifty years, maybe more.

A personality disorder is a side effect of the ritual, which tried to realize the full potential of soul and body. At the same time, the upper bar was not reached, and the abrupt load with a pood hammer hit the consciousness, breaking it into several parts - these are our conclusions.

The changes launched in the Delphin's body are not negative and pursue a purely positive goal — at least, this is what happens according to our calculations.

That is, in fact, all the conclusions obtained on the basis of the data from the ritual, but, strangely enough, it was more than enough for peace of mind. However, Delphine can't do magic properly yet. At least the energy-consuming areas of transfiguration that rely heavily on the wizard's power are not yet available to her, but by all appearances, it will not be for more than a week.
