From the day Schelling got the wand at Ollivander's, he discovered that his wand had an amplifying effect on the ability to cast dark magic.
He still remembered that he learned the first black magic in his life, the "Snot Curse" when he was in the first grade. Originally, this curse could create a vicious flu-like effect, causing the subject to sneeze constantly or have tears and nose water. non-stop; but Xie Lin used it to exert an effect that directly made people sick, causing Dobby, as the experimental subject, to be weak and comatose due to too much nose water. Fortunately, Xie Lin had already prepared a refreshing potion. Otherwise, Dobby might not be able to get out of bed unless he lay in the hospital bed for several days.
Although born to study the dark arts, Schelling had no intention of becoming a powerful dark wizard. He studied the dark magic book so that he could have a more comprehensive understanding of magic, rather than just learning partial knowledge harmonized by the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore.
Schelling is well aware of the damage that learning and performing black magic can do to one's own soul. When performing black magic, evil thoughts are needed as a basis. This gives black magic the characteristics similar to addictive substances in the Muggle world. Every time black magic is used, the evil thoughts in people's hearts can be vented. And evil thoughts dig out the darkest corners hidden in the human heart. Over time, the character and soul will become distorted, becoming more violent and uncontrollable.
This is not Schelling's fake Virgin. The importance of the soul to a wizard is common sense to every wizard. Once the soul is corrupted and distorted, sooner or later it will be counterattacked by black magic.
This is also the biggest difference between the two generations of Dark Lords, Grindelwald and Riddle.
Grindelwald used black magic to reform the wizarding world and achieve his ideals. In his heart, he believed that he was the righteous party, although many innocent people were inevitably harmed in the process. However, Riddle used black magic for his own selfish purposes. He did not want to be an unknown person. He wanted to let the whole world know his name. For this reason, he specially named himself "Voldemort". This name has been cursed so that people dare not even mention it. His actions such as organizing Death Eaters, creating the Dark Mark, etc. are all for the sake of his own reputation, creating and spreading terror.
This brought Voldemort to a tragic ending in the original plot - his soul was too twisted, so he was restrained and defeated time and time again by "Pure Love". There are still many mysteries that remain unsolved in the magical world, such as love and cause and effect. Xie Lin does not want to be restrained by these mysterious powers inexplicably one day.
Let’s go back to the three black magic books.
Among them, the book "Fallen Creatures" actually records the creation and various secrets of Dementors. Dementors are a kind of "Non-Being" in a state of neither life nor death. They cannot reproduce. Instead, it grows like a fungus in decaying places. In addition, Dementors cannot be destroyed by any magic and can only be expelled by the Patronus Charm.
(Note: Non-existence is actually an aggregation of emotions. There are currently four known examples. Please refer to the chapter "Non-Beast Magical Creatures" related to the work)
You may ask, since dementors cannot die and cannot be destroyed by magic, why do the dementors, which have been growing in number, fail to dominate the wizarding world? That's because although dementors cannot be eliminated, they can create a special environment to allow them to perish themselves. Dementors feed on despair, and sucking people's happiness is just a way to create despair. , if you are in an environment where you cannot find any despair to replenish your energy, then the dementors will die on their own.
(Note: This is the official dementor. Rowling designed the dementor based on depression. The magic that can kill the dementor is a fan setting.)
The first person to discover how to drive dementors was the dark wizard Raczidian in the Middle Ages. The exact period in which Raczidian lived is unknown, only that it was before the establishment of the Wizards' Council (the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic). , the wizarding world at that time followed the jungle law of respecting the strong and preying on the weak, so he could study and use black magic openly.
He discovered the secret of the Dementors by chance and worked out how to produce a large number of Dementors - he built a secret room full of darkness and decay in his dark fortress, allowing the Dementors to roam. It can continue to grow under the nourishment of this environment.
He also created a unique driving method, which allowed him to control the dementors to burn, kill and loot the wizard village near the castle. After being blocked by a young man named Illyus with the Patronus Curse, he also Try to imitate the opponent's use of the Patronus Charm, with the intention of containing the opponent's Patronus.
Unfortunately, he didn't know that one of the conditions for releasing the Patronus Charm was to have a pure heart of guardianship. As a result, he was counterattacked by his own spell - his wand summoned an overwhelming and dense group of man-eating flies. In the blink of an eye, his own body was swallowed up completely.
Xie Lin's biggest gain is the method of driving dementors. If done properly, Xie Lin will receive a boost that cannot be ignored.
In the book "Dark Potion", Schelling also found a very useful magic potion formula - magic potion. Magic potions are forbidden to be refined in the international magic community, because the required raw materials involve dark biological materials, and the process of taking them also involves a high risk, because as long as there are any deviations in the refining process, It can cause the user to die due to magic riot.
After taking this medicine, the body will experience temporary discomfort, such as fever, weakness, dilation of blood vessels, and rapid heartbeat. You need to have a certain endurance to endure pain. This is because the medicine is catalyzing the magical potential contained in the blood and converting it. Intensified into active magic power that can be used, as long as you survive these dozens of minutes of torture, you can achieve a significant increase in magic power.
Xie Lin has long encountered a bottleneck in magic research due to his own lack of magic power. How to enhance his own magic power has always been a top priority in his mind.
You know, the well-read Schelling has no lack of theoretical knowledge of magic, but due to the limitations of magic power, he cannot use most of the magic at all. If he overcomes the problem of magic power, he can cast many powerful magics that consume a lot of energy, and his strength will reach another level.
The preparation of the magic-enhancing potion is not difficult. The biggest problem in refining it is that the raw materials required for it are all very precious and rare. The rarest and most difficult-to-obtain ingredient in the magic potion formula is actually the venom of the basilisk.
This raw material is the biggest difficulty for others, but it is not a problem at all for Xie Lin. Xie Lin has already collected a large amount of various precious materials from the basilisk corpses in the Battle of the Secret Chamber. The stock of snake venom is enough for him to refine it for several times. A bottle of magic potion.
Unfortunately, due to the toxicity contained in the magic potion, each wizard can only take one bottle in his lifetime. This restriction does not surprise Xie Lin. After all, the magic potion uses the toxicity of snake venom to activate the magic potential in the blood. No matter how successful the refining is, there will definitely be toxicity, but it is limited to the content of a bottle of potion. Below, the toxicity is not enough to cause harm to the human body.
Other materials are not easy to obtain. One of them is the phantom smelling grass, which is a Class A prohibited trade item. Xie Lin plans to try his luck in the black market in Knockturn Alley, but if it fails, he has no choice but to go to Snape's laboratory.
As for the remaining materials, he asked Dobby to go to major pharmacies to buy and collect them for him. Xie Lin made a lot of money by selling spider venom and basilisk skin at the end of last semester. Even so, he still spent most of his savings in order to buy the materials needed for the magic potion, leaving only 1 thousand gold with him. Save the galleons for emergencies.
(Note: The raw material cost of the magic-enhancing potion is about 2 hundred Galleons, excluding basilisk venom and phantom-smelling grass. The above cost is not just the amount of raw materials for refining a magic-enhancing potion. After all, this is an ancient recipe. The probability of failure is very high, so it is reasonable to buy more than ten copies as backup)
The book "Abatail Volume 1" was the one that surprised Schelling the most among the three books. The book "Abatail" covers almost all magical fields in the magical world, from charms, magic, Transfiguration, curse seal science, enchantment science, curse system, spiritual system, and soul system are all covered. It is a pity that this book was divided into eight volumes due to a war in the Middle Ages and was scattered everywhere.
The book in Xie Lin's hand can only be regarded as one of the fragments of the eight volumes. Most of the contents are spiritual magic. From this, it can be inferred that the third generation ancestor of the Malfoy family, Armand II Malfoy, Fu must have obtained this book by chance and got inspiration from it to create Malfoy's Heirloom Charm, because many of the spiritual magic that Schelling learned from the Malfoy Heirloom Charm can be used here. Similar shadows can be found in the book.
Although this book cannot help Schelling learn any magic spells or improve his strength in the short term, it can give Schelling a deeper and more solid understanding of the essence of spiritual magic theory. In the long run, this is better than learning A new spell is even more valuable.
Next, Schelling also took out the Malfoy family's secret curse and studied it again. Sure enough, after reading "Abatail Volume 1", his understanding of the family curse increased to a new level, and he successfully discovered The true heritage of the Malfoy family - spiritual magic.
Armand II Malfoy was a natural telepathizer and an expert in spiritual magic. His naturally powerful spiritual power was integrated into his bloodline after his death and passed on to future generations. This explains why the bloodline power is activated. Xie Lin can easily learn advanced spiritual magic.
Malfoy's family curses contain many extremely ancient spiritual spells that have never been heard of by the outside world. Many of them are forbidden curses in the category of black magic. They are even as powerful as the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses. Comparable to other spells, such as the Legilimency Curse, the Chaos God Seed Curse, the God-breaking Curse, the Hypnotic Curse, the Memory Manipulation Curse, the Gaze of Fear...these names alone make people feel extremely evil and terrifying. .
This made Schelling curious as to why such a powerful curse never appeared in the Malfoy family in the original book. And with such a powerful inheritance, why did the Malfoy family still need to humbly submit to Voldemort? Schelling could only deduce that perhaps because of the loss of bloodline power, Malfoy's descendants relied more and more on conspiracy and politics, thus neglecting the inheritance of magic.
Such examples are not unique to the Malfoy family. As far as Schelling knows, what the great Slytherin is really proficient in is the Parseltongue spells that rely on Parseltongue pronunciation. He does not have the Parseltongue talent that comes with Slytherin's blood inheritance. It cannot be learned. After the Slytherin bloodline withered, the Parsnip magic was also lost.
