Holmes is always on the brink of insanity.

[@owenmaleski2203]

Blackwood was his Lex Luthor and Moriarty was his General Zod. One representing his inverse, and the other his natural abilities used for evil purpose. Blackwood showed him the complicated world of superstition, magic and mysticism, things that Holmes naturally considers untrue until he uses the very same method to unravel the plan. Moriarty on the other hand played the same game but showed Holmes what happens when someone uses their kind of genius for personal gain at the expense of quite literally everything else

"Brink of insanity" yeah, well he is already nuts. You know, drinking embalming fluid and shit.

This is my favorite trope. The protagonist willingly jumps into the deep end without a lifeline.

That looks like an amazing drug trip. Sherlock Holmes was a cocaine addict so nothing is out of possibility. They sure as hell didn't keep that part in the movie though because I doubt people would like seeing Robert Downey Jr. doing Coke

[@r0bw00d]

Holmes was never an addict. He only used "artificial stimulants" when he had no cases to work on and no problems to solve to the point when life became dull. When the world gave him the mental stimulation he needed, he was able to dispense with his morphine and cocaine immediately.

[@alanwatts7822]

So what did Sherlock actually accomplish through performing the ritual?

[@jaybennet4491]

Sherlock needed a different approach in order to solve the case. The pieces of evidence that he'd been collecting throughout the movie were all connected, Sherlock just didn't know HOW. By indulging in Lord Blackwood's taunt to "widen his gaze", Sherlock let go of his preconceived notions, allowing him a fresh perspective. Try imagining that you have a cipher in your hand. You look at the words and symbols and you understand them for what they are individually, but how are they all connected? Is it a Caesar cipher? Atbash? Transpositional? Sherlock figured out what method Blackwood was using in order to commit his crimes. "His secret lies in the book of spells." That's the key, the rules of the game. Sherlock figured it out by thinking like a member of the Order. That's what he accomplished.
