Now the hardest part is imagination and visualization. There is no channel of energy transmission between the soul and the body, but at the same time, there is one. Every cell of the body, organelle, molecule — everything has a connection with the soul. But in the normal state, this energy connection is almost completely one-way — from the soul to the body. It is necessary either to build reverse seals around each separate channel and simultaneously activate them for a short moment, or to build one large one around the body. The first is practically painless, but is impossible without the most complex artifacts or, as they say, "eightieth-level" intelligence. A strange phrase, I wonder where it comes from? There is neither one nor the other, which means we will go the difficult, painful way.
Mentally, I began to build a sphere around myself from many rune circles in different planes to each other. It took about twenty minutes. I was worried that the brain, unprepared for such loads on the imagination and rigid fixation of images, would simply give up. There was a risk of switching off. But, to my surprise, I did not feel any discomfort - the brain digested the load with flying colors. Did the experience of collecting the soul from particles have an effect? Perhaps. Exactly! The brain had been helping the mind and soul at maximum capacity for thirteen years! Clear...
Having finished building the sphere, I connected the "Accumulation-Transfer" seal to it, in which the resonance of energies caused an exponential growth of the power of life energy. Three seconds before activation. Energy leakage - none. The chance of detection of witchcraft by locals - minimal. Let's say going into meditation to disconnect the mind from the body.
Pain. Sharp and strong, unbearable. Physical and mental. It does not allow you to "float" with your consciousness, it is impossible to switch off from shock, only to endure. Disconnecting the mind from the body eliminated the response to pain - the body did not scream or twitch, but it did not make me feel better.
Two endless seconds of hellish pain, and everything returned to normal. The seals went out, and the mind returned to the body aching with every subatomic particle. The phantom sensations are terrible, but they quickly pass. After ten minutes, I was again sitting on the floor in the lotus position and trying to feel my energy. Judging by the sensations, everything went as it should - the energy of life was walking in the soul. The sensations are correct and cannot be confused, it is like understanding - it is there and that's it.
The next stage is the formation of a magical construct that has no name. It is formed in the body and activated by any energy - specially designed for versatility. After activation, the construct merges with the soul and begins to search for the energy needed by the wizard. Having found the necessary energy, the spherical construct pulls it all around itself and, by enumerating characteristics, tries to cause resonance in the resulting surface. This causes a sudden increase in indicators specific to this energy, and the soul activates a self-defense mechanism from destruction that is specific to absolutely all souls - the release of excess energy. But the vector of energy movement has already been set and the soul will not be able to throw it out through the body.
However, the soul is indestructible. This is the law of the universe, proven by the elves. The effect of disintegration that I experienced after death requires special conditions that no one in my memory has been able to recreate, and even if it is possible to destroy the soul, its core, the essence of the soul, will always remain whole. Such a swing of energy will not cause harm - the stronger the resonance, the stronger the soul will become and the limit is outlined only by the ability of the mind to "digest" sensations and changes. True, after the resonance declines, everything will return to the original with a small adjustment for the slightly increased density of the soul, but this is a pleasant bonus, the practical benefit of which eludes my understanding.
The essence of these manipulations is that the entire infinity of the multiplicity of dimensions is in one, so to speak, plane. The soul and the spiritual plane of the world are closest to the energy dimensions, therefore it is necessary to work through it. When the energy load in the soul from the work of the magic circuit becomes sufficient, then for a short moment the soul will be able to "touch" the necessary energy dimension to release pressure into an identical environment. Like is drawn to like, as if bending, squeezing the universe to the necessary dimension. But such manipulations with reality do not pass without a trace, and therefore between the soul and the energy dimension, in my case, life, a weak but practically unbreakable connection will be established. My task will be to stabilize and strengthen the connection.
The problem is that this could happen in five minutes, or in an hour. You can just go to bed and sleep - you won't miss the moment the connection is established...
Having reached the bed, I simply fell on top of the tucked-in blanket. I was about to close my eyes when I felt a sharp tremor, and a viscous wave of various sensations passed through my entire body. The connection was established. Fast, but not phenomenal - it was a matter of chance.
Strengthening and stabilizing the connection is done in a simple way. It is necessary to use the energy of the dimension evenly and for a long time. Evenly and for a long time. Usually, for this they just give an amulet with a crystal accumulator and a magic circuit for even pumping of the necessary energy. However, I do not have such a thing. I do not have a lot of things, but it is not at all a matter of poor preparation - I do not know where to get something magical and familiar here, and crystal accumulators have always been expensive. Moreover, you can cope with it on your own, because the energy of life is not some kind of fire, there is always a use. For example, my body.
Diagnostics say that it is fine, but this does not mean that it is ideal. There is always something to clean, improve, optimize, and in the memories of an elf who has followed the path of a wizard and healer, there are a couple of techniques and methods for improving the body to an ideal state - a mandatory procedure for baby elves. They are born as ordinary children, except that heredity is good. But until the age of twenty, so many different preventive manipulations are carried out that after this age limit of twenty and with periodic preventive cleaning and care of the body, the elf turns into a non-aging and ageless creature with abnormally high sensory characteristics and a pure mind. And many years of self-improvement of both the mind and magic, as well as the body, sometimes lasting for centuries, make elves so ideal visually. And some think, like, if you were born an elf - that's it, a handsome man. Naive, although elves are not freaks by nature.
And now I am using one of the magical constructs on my body. Minor Purification. The name conveys the essence - the genome and body are cleaned of garbage a little. But I understand this not by the memory of an elf, but of those few people who lived during the expansion of space. True, their memory is pretty useless - a consumer structure of society. These fragments gave me mostly only dissatisfaction with the backwardness of the world around me, but their understanding of the genome turned out to be useful - it showed what exactly the elves changed with magic. It's funny how the scanty knowledge of different eras merges into something whole. The human genome, unlike the elven one, is simply monstrously littered with garbage, traces of viral activity and similar useless, but not harmful mutations. However, they cannot be deleted so easily either. For example, the DNA of a human and a chimpanzee is more than ninety-eight percent similar. It is these two percent that determine the difference between these species of living beings. But it is not only the ratio of genes that is important, but also the location relative to each other. The slightest thoughtless change can lead to either incredible success or grand failure, and the latter is most likely. So, what to do? Memory of fragments - tell me?
And my memory told me not to get involved in this for now. I don't have the necessary knowledge. Following the confidence I had acquired from the elf in my own experience as a healer, I almost made a mistake. Maybe everything would have gone well, but it would be better to gain knowledge. Okay, it's time to activate the construct.
