I have found myself in the most curious sort of predicament. One moment, I was dead and the next, I am standing in the middle of what I can only describe as a room with a remarkable view. To further complicate matters, I have located this device which is all too foreign to me. Thankfully, I am in full possession of my wits - which are substantial - and I was able to turn it on.

My name is Albus Percival Wulfric Brian Dumbledore, though that is rather much to remember. There was a time that I simply responded to Albus, so I think that shall do for the present time.

What I seek are answers and I will patiently await them until either they drift my way or I discover them on my own.

How so?

We do not often change objects from one thing to another. Only in the hands of great craftsmen does this happen. But to transform oneself, that one may run with the speed of a deer or swim with the skill of a fish or ride the wind like an eagle. That is something that all of us learn. Although even then, whether one has truly transformed in the eyes of others may change.

That does seem far different from the Magic taught in my world. I can think of more than a few students who would enjoy acquiring the traits of animals.

[And a few students who became illegal Animagi.]

These are some of the gifts of my kind. I do not think it is much the same as the magic of any other world.

I would not expect it to be the same. How terribly boring would that be?

Re: Dictated

It would be rather dull, I think.

Dullness of that sort is completely unforgivable.
