Magical Studies at Hogwarts

The Big Four of Hogwarts all have their own unique characteristics, which are basically the same as the characteristics of the four houses they left behind.

The bravery of Gryffindor, the wisdom of Ravenclaw, the tolerance and kindness of Hufflepuff, and the ambition of Slytherin. Now every student will have some similarities with the founder of this college. This is It is also one of the reasons why the Sorting Hat exists.

From a certain perspective, the current House Cup at Hogwarts is also a continuation of the ideological dispute between the four great wizards a thousand years ago. And coincidentally, the current situation in the wizarding world is similar to that of a thousand years ago.

The continuation of the battle between Gryffindor and Slytherin can be viewed this way.

Therefore, if some people think that history is a cycle, that is totally fine.

Just like today's situation, it can be seen as a battle between black and white magic. Thousands of years ago, Gryffindor and Slytherin were good at exactly these two types of magic.

Black magic is powerful, there is no doubt that it can accomplish almost everything in the world. Immortality, rejuvenation, black magic can do it, but unlike white magic, it does not have so many prerequisites , most black magic is easier to master than white magic.

Just like the Patronus Charm, the most well-known white magic today, it is extremely difficult to learn, but it can only be used to drive away dark creatures. The Death Curse, as long as there is a strong emotion to kill others, can take away a person's life. life.

Perhaps because of this characteristic and the fact that black magic does affect the caster's personality and emotions to a certain extent, it is considered evil and taboo.

This is the common understanding of black magic in the wizarding world today.

But in Ike's view, this is just a stereotype. Although he would have been affected by black magic when he first came into contact with it, it basically does not arouse his emotions now.

The lv7 Occlumency technique is so unreasonable.

And this is also the biggest basis for him to dare to study Slytherin's gift in depth.

After returning to Malfoy Manor from Diagon Alley, Ike locked himself directly in the small house in the courtyard, and did not take a step for a full month, focusing all his energy on studying those things.

The contents in the box have obviously been sorted out by Lao Fu and are divided into two parts. One part is from Slytherin and the other.

The other part of the black magic he collected is a series of experimental records. The weight and quantity of the two are about the same, which can be said to be 50-50. Although it was placed in a small box, it was piled up immediately after taking it out. The entire laboratory.

It took Ike a week just to read through these things, and he could be considered to have a basic understanding.

There is no need to say too much about the black magic part. Ike just took out a few and decided to learn it. He has mastered a lot of magic spells now, which is enough to cope with most situations. Just learn some new and interesting ones. There is no need to continue to expand your arsenal.

What's more, he doesn't think that these black magics from thousands of years ago can greatly improve his combat effectiveness. In fact, in the past two years in battle, he is still more accustomed to using the magic developed from Ravenclaw manuscripts. .

Coupled with the Explosive Curse, Crushing Curse, Fire Curse and Unforgivable Curse, it is really enough.

However, the remaining research data is much more complicated.

Both are the most enthusiastic researchers among the Big Four at Hogwarts. Both aim to restore the complete ancient magic system, but they adopt different methods. Ravenclaw prefers theory, while Slytherin focuses on magic experiments.

.Not only the development of magic spells, but also various weird experiments, a large part of which are human experiments.

So, it’s not just that Slytherin has a bad reputation, but his experiments are really evil!

The corpses of wizards are dissected to find the reason why wizards have magical powers; the internal organs of wizards are transplanted to Muggles and blood is exchanged to see if Muggles can master the power of magic. The limbs, internal organs, and blood of magical animals are also put on people.

Trying to use magic to peel off people's souls, etc., are all experiments that can directly give a dementor's kiss without going through a trial.

Ike was frightened and fascinated by it. The whimsical ideas and rigorous experimental data in it saved him a lot of work and brought him some new inspirations. It can even be said that An Tan saw magic.

On the other hand, he also learned the biggest difference between ancient magic and modern magic:

rigorous.

Ravenclaw's manuscripts mentioned that ancient magic paid more attention to gestures and incantations when casting spells than modern magic, because as long as there is a slight mistake, it is likely to cause spell casting failure and cause serious consequences.

Very serious consequences.

There are also corresponding regulations in modern magic. However, due to the existence of silent spells and silent spells, gestures and spells are not so important for wizards who have mastered these spell-casting skills. Just like Ike, most of them now

Magic no longer needs to strictly follow the spell-casting procedures, it only requires a wave of your hands and a flick of your fingers.

The reason for this difference, according to the Ravenclaw manuscript, is that the foundations of ancient magic and modern magic are different. Modern magic was born from the ruins of ancient magic. It is simpler and pays more attention to the emotions and emotions of wizards when casting spells.

Emotions are more idealistic. Ancient magic is different. Although it has not yet been determined what the origin of ancient magic is, it is undoubtedly more profound and more powerful.

Just like firecrackers and mushroom eggs, they are essentially explosions, but the former only makes a sound, while the latter can destroy a city. If it were magic, it would be the difference between a fire spell and a powerful fire spell.

Strictly speaking, Slytherin's research is not very important to Ike, especially for his ultimate goal, it can even be said to be useless. However, what Ike needs is not these, but Slytherin.

The idea of ​​cognitive magic is very valuable for reference.

After a long absence, Ike dug out the Ravenclaw manuscript he had transcribed and compared it with Slytherin's research, confirming that although it may not have improved his strength much, there were many problems that he had only half-understood or just guessed about.

Even if I don’t have the answer yet, I still have a solution.

Just like the magic that allowed Lao Fu to regain his body, it was a standard ancient magic. The crucible and the potion inside, as well as the bones of his father, the flesh of his servants and the blood of his enemies, are all indispensable. Only by achieving all the goals

Under these conditions, Lao Fu will get a body that can accommodate his broken soul and also have the ability to cast spells without any adverse reactions. Xiu Shu Network

If you just simply obtain a physical body, there is no need to be so complicated. When he possessed Quirrell, Lao Fu could completely eliminate Quirrell's soul and take his body as his own.

But as written in Slytherin's study: Magic is a miracle, and every wizard's soul is unique. The resurrection spell also has its limitations.

It takes away one of the most important qualities of a wizard: growth!
