wordplay - These Riddles Again?



With the beginning, I can make you totally emotionless


Add a few letters to it and you can even find a special kind of school


In the middle, a special kind of energy awaits you


Something that flows in every living thing, they say


The ending is quite a short one


But it is actually what you do to this riddle
