Chapter 2： Black Magic Book

From the day Schelling got the wand in Orivand’s shop, he discovered that his wand had an amplifying effect on the black magic. He still remembers when he learned the first black magic "snot curse" in his life when he was in the first grade-originally this curse could create a vicious flu-like effect, causing the subject to sneeze, or tears and nose. Non-stop; but Xie Lin was stunned to use it to directly cause people to fall ill. As a result, Dobby, who was used as the experimental product, became weak and comatose because of too much nose. Fortunately, Xie Lin had already prepared a refreshing agent. Otherwise, Dobby may not get out of bed without lying in the hospital bed for a few days.

Although he was born suitable for learning black magic, Schelling did not intend to become a powerful black wizard. He delved into the book of black magic so that he could have a more comprehensive understanding of magic, rather than learning the partial knowledge that was harmonized by the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore.

Schelling is well aware of the damage to his own soul by learning and using black magic. When using black magic, he needs evil thoughts as a foundation. This gives black magic the characteristics of an addictive substance in the Muggle world. Every time he uses black magic, he can vent the evil thoughts in people's hearts. And evil thoughts, dig out the darkest corners hidden in people's hearts, and over time the character and soul will be distorted, becoming more tyrannical and uncontrollable. This is not the false virgin of Schelling. The importance of the soul to a wizard is common sense that every wizard has. Once the soul is corrupted and distorted, then sooner or later there will be a day of black magic.

This is also the biggest difference between the two generations of Dark Lords of Grindelwald and Riddle. Grindelwald uses black magic to reform the wizarding world and achieve his ideals. In his heart, he believes that he is the righteous party, although many innocent people are inevitably hurt in the process. Riddle used black magic for his own selfish desire. He did not want to be a silent person. He wanted to let the whole world know his name. For this reason, he specially named himself "Voldemort". This name was cursed by the name, and people didn't even dare to mention it. There were also acts of organizing Death Eaters, creating the Dark Marks, etc., all of which created and spread terror for his own prestige.

This allowed Voldemort to finally embark on a tragic ending in the original plot-his soul was too distorted, so he was restrained and defeated by "PureLove" again and again. There are still many mysteries in the magical world, such as love and cause and effect. Schelling doesn't want to be restrained by these mysterious powers somehow.

Come 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 non-life and non-death. They do not reproduce. It grows like fungus in the decayed place. In addition, the dementor cannot be destroyed by any magic, and can only be expelled by the patron saint.

(Note: Impure is actually an aggregate of emotions. There are currently four known examples. Please refer to the chapter "Non-Beast Magical Creatures" in the related works)

You may ask, since dementors cannot die and cannot be destroyed by magic, why has the ever-increasing number of dementors failed to rule the wizarding world? That's because although dementors cannot be destroyed, they can perish themselves by creating a special environment. Dementors feed on desperate emotions, and sucking people’s happiness away is just a means to create despair. , If you are in an environment where you can't find any desperate emotions to replenish energy, then the dementor will die on its own.

(Note: This is the official dementor. Rowling designed the dementor based on depression. The magic that can kill the dementor is set by the same person.)

The first to discover how to drive the dementors was the black wizard Raczidian in the Middle Ages. The exact period of Raczidian is unknown, but it is known that it was before the establishment of the Wizarding Council (the predecessor of the Ministry of Magic). At that time, the wizarding world followed the jungle law of respecting the strong and eating the weak, so he could study and use black magic in an open manner. He discovered the secret of the dementor by chance, and worked out how to make a large number of dementors-he built a dark and decayed secret room in his dark fortress, allowing the dementor to live Nourishment of this environment can continue to breed.

He also created a unique driving method, able to control the dementors to burn and loot the wizard villages near the castle. After being blocked by a young man named Ilius with a patron saint, he also Trying to imitate the opponent's use of the patron saint, with the intention of containing the opponent's patron saint. Unfortunately, he did not know that one of the conditions for the release of the patron saint was to have a pure guardian heart. As a result, he was controlled by his own curse. Backlash-his wand summoned a group of overwhelming, densely packed cannibal flies, swallowing his own body in a blink of an eye.

Schelling’s greatest gain is the method of driving the dementors. If it is operated properly, Schelling will get a boost that cannot be ignored.

Schelling also found a very useful potion formula in the book "Dark Potion"-the magic potion. Enchanting potions are all prohibited potions in the international magic world, because dark biological materials are involved in the required raw materials, and the process of taking them also involves a high risk, because as long as there is any deviation in the refining process, It can cause the user to die because of the magic riot.

After taking this medicine, the body will experience short-term discomfort, such as fever, weakness, blood vein expansion, rapid heartbeat, and a certain endurance to endure pain. This is because the medicine is catalyzing the magical potential contained in the blood vein. Intensified into the active magic power that can be used, as long as it survives these dozens of minutes of torture, a significant increase in magic power can be achieved.

Xie Lin has already encountered a bottleneck in magic research because of his lack of magic power. How to enhance his magic power has always been his top priority. You should know that Schelling, who has read many books, does not lack knowledge of magic theory, but because of the limitation of magic power, he can't use most of the magic at all. If he overcomes the magic problem, he can cast a lot of powerful magic that consumes a lot of money, and his strength will step onto another level.

The preparation of the magic 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 raw material in the enchanting potion formula is actually the venom of the basilisk. This raw material is the biggest difficulty for others, but this is not a problem for Schelling. Schelling has already collected a lot in the Chamber of Secrets. The various precious materials on the corpse of the basilisk, and the amount of snake venom is enough for him to refine several bottles of magic potion.

It's a pity that due to the toxicity contained in the enchanting potion, each wizard can only take one bottle in his lifetime. This limitation does not surprise Schelling. After all, the magic potion uses the poison of snake venom to stimulate the magic potential in the blood. No matter how successful the refining is, the toxicity will definitely remain, but the content of a bottle of potion is limited. Below, that toxicity is not enough to cause harm to the human body.

Other materials are not easy to obtain. Among them, one kind of Sniffing Grass is a Class A prohibited trade item. Schelling intends to try his luck in the black market of Knockdown Alley. If it doesn't work, he can only use the idea of ​​Snape Lab. As for the rest of the remaining materials, he asked Dobby to go to major pharmacies to help him purchase and collect. Schelling made a lot of money by selling spider venom and basilisk skin and flesh at the end of last semester. In order to fill in the materials needed for the magic enhancement potion, he still spent most of his savings, leaving only 1,000 gold with him. Kanon kept it for a rainy day.

(Note: The raw material cost of the magic enhancement potion is about 200 gallons without counting the basilisk venom and the phantom scent grass. The above cost is not just buying the raw material for refining a magic enhancement potion, after all, this ancient prescription The probability of failure is very high, so it is reasonable to buy more than ten copies as a spare)

"Abatel Volume One" is the most surprising one of the three books. The book of Abatel covers almost all areas of magic in the wizarding world, from magic spells, magic mechanics, Metamorphosis, curse seals, enchantment, curses, spirits, and souls are all covered, but it is a pity that this book was divided into eight volumes due to a great war in the Middle Ages.

This book in Schelling's hand can only be regarded as one of the eight volumes. Most of the content in it is spiritual magic. From this, it can be inferred that the third generation ancestor of the Malfoy family, Almand II Mar Fu must have obtained this book by chance, and got inspiration from it to create Malfoy’s family curse, because many of the spiritual magic that Schelling learned from Malfoy’s family curse can be used here. A similar shadow is found in the book. Although this book will not allow Schelling to learn any spells, or to improve his strength again 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. Said, this is more commendable than learning a new spell.

Furthermore, Schelling also took out the secret spells of the Malfoy family and re-studied it. Sure enough, after reading "Abatel Volume 1", his understanding of the family spells increased by a level, and he successfully discovered Out of the true inheritance of the Malfoy family-spiritual magic.

Armand II Malfoy is a natural photographer and an expert in spiritual magic. His natural and powerful spiritual power is integrated into his blood after his death and passed on to future generations. This explains why the blood is activated. Schelling can easily learn advanced spiritual magic.

Malfoy’s family curses contain many ancient and unheard spiritual curses, many of which are forbidden spells belonging to the category of black magic, and their power can even be compared to the Imperius Curse, one of the three unforgivable curses. Comparable, for example, chanting mantras of the gods, chanting the gods, breaking the gods, hypnotic spells, memory manipulation spells, gaze of fear... these spells are incredibly evil and terrifying just by hearing their names. .

This makes Schelling wonder why such a powerful spell has never appeared in the Malfoy family in the original work, and the Malfoy family has such a strong heritage, why do they need to surrender humbly at the feet of Voldemort? Schelling could only infer that, perhaps because of the loss of bloodline power, Malfoy's descendants became more and more dependent on conspiracy and tactics and paid more attention to politics and business, thus ruining 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 snake language spell that relies on the pronunciation of the snake language. There is no snake language talent attached to the Slytherin bloodline inheritance. It was impossible to learn. After Slytherin's bloodline withered, the snake language magic was also lost.
