The entire process of making a Horcrux is very demanding. As the number of soul divisions increases, the degree of evil and difficulty required also increase linearly.
Most dark wizards can split their souls once, which is their limit. No wizard can split his soul into more than two parts and create more than one Horcrux. The pain is enough to make the caster collapse, and splitting the soul will make the main soul very unstable.
Like Voldemort, who split his soul many times and successfully made multiple Horcruxes, in Schelling's opinion, it was simply impossible.
After the soul is separated, the next step is to select a suitable Horcrux and infuse the soul into it. Any item can be made into a Horcrux, but along with the transfer of the soul, extremely powerful spells are needed to protect one's Horcrux, as well as enough magic power to support the completion of the entire transfer process.
This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to split his soul, he will not be able to successfully create a Horcrux without strong enough power.
The book specifically emphasizes that dark wizards must properly protect their Horcruxes. The damage to the Horcrux will definitely affect the main soul, making the already extremely unstable main soul even more fragmented. The most direct consequence is that the dark wizard loses his mind and gradually goes crazy. And his power will not be affected. On the contrary, because the soul has become evil enough, he will be more comfortable in using black magic.
Xie Lin's heart skipped a beat, this was not good news.
So far, he has destroyed three Horcruxes made by Voldemort, namely Tom's diary, Ravenclaw's diadem and Slytherin's locket. Destroying Voldemort's Horcruxes seemed to bring him one step closer to death, but in fact doing so would not effectively weaken Voldemort's power, but would make him more dangerous.
Behind the Horcruxes, "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" also introduces many evil black magics. For example, the evil curse "Dementor's Kiss" behind the Horcrux is based on the study of the Dementor's Kiss. It directly targets a person's soul and pulls it out of the body, leaving him forever beyond redemption. .
Further on, there are details on how to make and control the Inferi, the three unforgivable curses, and more.
Schelling is not interested in refining the Inferi and the Unforgivable Curse for the time being. This is because like all underage wizards, he has traces planted by the Ministry of Magic.
The trace is not set on the wand as the bad fan fiction in the previous life said. Think about it, if changing the wand can solve the problem, Mad Eye Moody in "The Battle of the Seven Harrys" You had already Apparated yourself with Harry, so why go to all the trouble and end up losing a life and an ear?
As far as Schelling knew, there was a mysterious alchemical item in the Office for the Abuse of Magic at the Ministry of Magic, which had been passed down from Merlin's time. The original intention of the inventor at that time was to use this item to discover children who had awakened their magic throughout Great Britain. , hoping that we can go to rescue as soon as possible to avoid the tragedy.
To this day, the role of this alchemical item has been replaced by Hogwarts' Pen of Acceptance and Book of Admission. It was used by the Ministry of Magic for another purpose - to monitor the spellcasting of underage wizards.
The reason given by the Ministry of Magic is that it violates the International Statute of Secrecy by monitoring whether underage wizards cast spells in front of Muggles. But in fact, all magic within the range of young wizards can be detected. In other words, if Schelling cast the Cruciatus Curse in the company of Lucius, it would be a scam. The first thing the Ministry of Magic would suspect is Lucius broke the law.
Of course, some places such as Malfoy Manor are heavily shielded by magic, which cannot be detected even with the power of trace silk. But what's the use of learning these magics if they can only be used in Malfoy Manor?
What Xie Lin lacks most now is time, so he skips these magic options that will not be used in the short term.
Another dark magic in the book that really interested Schelling was the Taboo.
In the original book, Voldemort cast a forbidden word spell on his own name and successfully used this to hunt down many members of the Order of the Phoenix. This magic can put a tracking mark on any word, and the person who speaks the word will be immediately traced to his location. Obviously, this is a very useful tracking spell.
Therefore, the original intention of the word ban spell was to create an atmosphere of depression and panic, so it was also classified as black magic. But it is obviously not as eye-catching as the Inferi or the Unforgivable Curse. After all, this spell can only be tracked, not directly harmed, and will not be easily noticed by the Office for the Prohibition of Abuse of Magic.
(Note: The People's News Agency did not translate Taboo, and only wrote "set a taboo on the name", but Taboo uses a capital T in the original English text, indicating that it is a magical name, and the author privately translated it as a forbidden word spell)
Schelling put down "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" and picked up another "Forbidden Transfiguration".
This is a book that touches on the forbidden realm of transfiguration. The first page introduces many terrible and irreversible transformation magics. For example, the ancient Greek witch Cirsi likes to turn sailors who are lost at sea and accidentally enter the island of Aeaea into pigs; such as the Maclivor family on the island of Dria. Turn all hostile families into bloodthirsty and crazy five-legged beasts...
(Note: Circe is a Greek mythological character who appears in the Chocolate Frog cartoon)
(Note: Quintaped is a five-star dangerous magical animal. It likes to eat human flesh and cannot speak. The official description is that it is covered with thick reddish-brown hair and has five club legs. In fact, it is simply a long A human head with five hands, which moves like a spider, but is more flexible than a spider. After all, its feet are like hands, and it has strong magic resistance)
Scroll down further, and Schelling saw a familiar magic - the Transmogrifian Torture. He had read about the people killed by this spell in the research notes Lockhart left for him. Record.
This is a very sinister magic. If it weren't for the existence of a counter-curse, it would definitely be more terrifying than the Cruciatus Curse and the Death Curse. It can create pain and suffering through the deformation of the human body, such as needles pricking fingertips, eyeballs, pricking sticks on the penis, etc.
The most terrifying thing is not the pain, but the moment before the pain occurs, such as the moment when the sharp shining needle point is aimed at the pupil, such as the feeling of the prickly stick gently rubbing on the penis... not many people can bear it psychologically. Can afford this pressure.
Unlike the Cruciatus Curse, this black magic does not require evil thoughts to exert its full power, because it is a transformation spell, not a curse. There are only two requirements for the Transformation Torture Spell. The first is to have a very high level of transformation, and the second is to have extremely precise control over the mind.
Xie Lin completely met these two conditions, and this magic seemed to be tailor-made for him.
Further back, there are the "aging curses" that turn people into old women and grandfathers, the "quadruped beast curse" that turns people into four-legged beasts, and the "four-legged beast curse" that turns people into something as ugly as a living zombie. The terrifying "Corpse Transformation Curse" and other various evil transformation techniques.
Apart from being used to disgust people, these transformation techniques are not very practical, except perhaps for a few cruel and perverted wizards.
What really interests Xie Lin is the "Stone Transformation", which is a magic that can turn people into stone statues. After being turned into stone statues, the recipient will not die or grow old, and can even retain his or her body. His own consciousness can still perceive the surrounding situation, but he cannot make any actions or actions.
This is different from the petrification effect caused by the basilisk's indirect gaze. The petrification effect of the basilisk causes the person's whole body to become rigid, paralyzed, lose the ability to move, and also lose consciousness. Apart from being unable to move, the subject's appearance has not changed at all, as if suffering from muscular sclerosis.
The stone statue transformation spell literally turns the subject into a stone statue from the outside to the inside. If it is not carefully inspected by a skilled wizard, most people will just treat it as a statue.
Interestingly, whether it is the petrification effect of the basilisk or the stone statue transformation technique, the solution is to use the Mandrake Resurrection Potion made from Mandrake.
["Forbidden Transformation" obtained! 】
In addition to these two books, Schelling received another big surprise in the Black magic book of the Black family - it turned out to be "Abatail Volume Three"!
The ancestral magic spells of the Black family focus on soul-based spells. From this, it can be inferred that "Abatail Volume Three" must correspond to the field of soul magic. The ancestors of the Black family obtained this fragment by chance and were able to create the core inheritance of the family. It is no exaggeration to say that this fragment is the foundation of the Black family.
In Schelling's view, soul magic and spiritual magic have many overlaps. If used properly, they can form complementary gains, achieving the effect of one plus one being greater than two.
As mentioned before, there are two factors that affect the growth rate of magic power: mental power and soul strength.
Schelling's mental power had already reached its peak, and he flipped through this book with great expectations, hoping to find inspiration in it to enhance the strength of his soul.
["Abatail Volume Three" obtained! 】
Xie Lin didn't know how many times he lamented his extraordinary luck.
He was much luckier than Ravenclaw. Ravenclaw only got a glimpse of Abatail in his lifetime, and had to die with regret.
Xie Lin has just turned 14 years old (his birthday was just three weeks ago), and he has already collected three volumes of spirit, soul, and curse. He still has a long time ahead, and maybe he can really complete Raven. Crowe's last wish was to collect all eight books.
Fast forward to June 30th, and the little wizards boarded the Hogwarts Express.
On the train, in addition to the usual trio, there was Astoria in Xie Lin's compartment.
"Brother Xie Lin, I got the first place in the exam this semester! Is there any reward? Hehe!" Since Astoria kissed Xie Lin during the last Dingo incident, Astoria seemed to have let go of the girl. She was shy and reserved. At this moment, she showed a naughty expression and acted cutely toward Xie Lin.
An imperceptible glint flashed in Xie Lin's eyes, but a gentle smile appeared on his lips: "My Tori, of course there will be a reward. Don't worry, this summer vacation will give you an unexpected surprise!"
Then, as if he didn't care, he asked casually: "How did the other people in your class perform?"
"Well..." Astoria tilted her head, thought for a while, and replied: "The students from other colleges in this class are also very strong. Apart from me, there are only the Carlo sisters in Slytherin." The results are pretty good, my sister Hestia Caro came in fifth place, and my sister Flora Caro came in sixth place.”
The Carlo family? Xie Lin's eyes flashed with unfathomable thoughts.
Then, Xie Lin frowned, "Is this all Slytherin's performance? It shouldn't be!"
Since he established his influence in Slytherin, the style of the little snakes has changed a lot - they unite and help each other, value knowledge, respect teachers, and Astoria often receives academic tutoring from Schelling in private. Schelling has told him that the former can properly share Schelling's study notes with his classmates, which will not only establish a strong friendship, but also improve Slytherin's overall strength.
"Then - who are the second to fourth places?"
"The second place is Melinda Bobin from Ravenclaw. She is very proficient in Potions and Herbology. I feel that she is far beyond the first grade level. Even the second grade students may not be better than her; third place The name is Demelza Robbins from Gryffindor. She is very good at spells, transformation and flying. Professor McGonagall said she is very imaginative! The fourth place is from Hufflepuff. Joanna Derwent, she is just like other Hufflepuffs. She is ordinary on weekdays, but unexpectedly she suddenly became a blockbuster and shined in the exam."
Xie Lin suddenly discovered an interesting phenomenon. The top six were all little girls! how so? Where has the little wizard gone?
"There is the Quidditch World Cup this summer!" Daphne said, "Didn't you promise my dad to come to my house? How about we go to the World Cup together? Dad can definitely get the tickets."
"Yes, yes, brother Xie Lin, let's go together!" Astoria said coquettishly.
Sherrin turned to look at Meredith, who shrugged, "Since my parents passed away, only me and the house elf are left in the family. I have already promised Uncle Gareth to let the Shafiq family become Greengrass's vassal family may be able to continue the family's glory this way. I will spend this summer vacation at Greengrass Manor. If you can come, we can go to the World Cup together."
Xie Lin planned to use the time before the summer vacation to do his own things. He calculated the time and said, "Okay, let's do this! I will meet you over there probably a few days before the World Cup starts, and we will watch the game together!"
