The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

As his reading volume gradually increased, Erwin gradually gained his own understanding of black magic.

The criteria for distinguishing black magic from white magic mainly depend on the state of mind when casting the spell and the effect of the spell itself. It is generally believed that magic that needs to be clearly driven by evil thoughts and can cause a certain degree of destructiveness is black magic.

The so-called erosion of the mind by black magic can be understood as the frequent use of black magic and always having evil thoughts about the surrounding environment, eventually forming an anti-social personality.

But this does not mean that black magic should be completely abandoned, or simply that it is a stupid and naive idea to oppose all black magic without reason.

Because this world itself is not a harmonious and beautiful world.

Since the emergence of life on this planet, the most important relationship between biological individuals has been competition. The weak eat the strong, eat and be eaten, and malice is everywhere.

The society composed of groups and civilized creatures can actually be understood as the grouping of disadvantaged individuals for warmth. Human beings gather to establish a society. During this period, many disputes and contradictions will inevitably occur, so moral standards and laws must be determined.

It is building order, and the core driving force for human beings to do this is survival needs. A society that can be called a system is enough to ensure the survival needs of most individuals.

The early human wizards were persecuted by the Muggles, so they took the initiative to unite to form a wizarding society with the Ministry of Magic as the political subject. This is the same reason.

Individuals themselves benefit from order, so they will take the initiative to maintain order. The order mentioned here has nothing to do with the nature of society or political system, but refers to the order that allows individuals to depend on each other and survive together. The core pursuit of life is to survive.

And order is the integration and extension of this core pursuit.

This also creates the concepts of justice and evil, good guys and bad guys.

Justice means the maintenance of order, while evil means the trampling and destruction of order.

Therefore, order breeds justice.

Why Dumbledore is great is because with his strength, he does not need to obey order at all, but he is the defender of order.

Order is actually an abnormal state, chaos and strife are the foundation of this world.

Going back to black magic itself, by analogy with ordinary humans and conventional society, it can be seen as similar to the control of knives and firearms, as well as weapons that are more lethal and have a wider range of damage.

Is it necessary to destroy all weapons for the sake of love and peace? People who think this way are undoubtedly too naive.

Because conflicts and struggles will never disappear, when the gun is pointed at your head, do you still need to open your arms and say to your enemies: "Let there be love, not war"?

At the same level of magic, black magic is more destructive than white magic. When the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were fighting dark wizards, did they just use the Disarming Curse, the Stunning Curse, the Petrification Curse, and the Petrification Curse to fight against Avada Kedavra?

What kind of exaggerated battle loss ratio will result?

After all, there is an essential difference between control spells and killing curses. Once the intensity of the conflict rises to the level of war, more efficient means of destroying the enemy's vitality must be pursued.

Being exposed to and learning black magic is not the same as surrendering, and there is no need to avoid black magic like snakes and scorpions.

Only with a sufficient understanding of black magic can we counter black magic, or even use black magic to fight against black magic.

Of course, just as weapons of destruction should be controlled in regular society, the spread of black magic should also be strictly restricted. Of course, the premise is that the Ministry of Magic, as a government organization, has sufficient ability to maintain order.

Of course, Riddle took the initiative to talk to Erwin about dark magic not to impart correct values ​​to him, but just to deceive his trust and slander Dumbledore.

"Black magic is very powerful, much stronger than ordinary magic, so those in high positions will restrict its spread, so that only they can master powerful magic, and no one can threaten their rule." Line by line. The words appeared on the parchment.

Is this sowing seeds of doubt? Erwin stood with his hands behind his hands, waiting with interest to see what other, more exciting words Riddle had to say.

"Don't be fooled by their appearances, Harry, don't believe their lies, only your own power is the most reliable..."

Erwin pretended to be shaken and wrote in his diary: "But I have never tried to learn black magic before..."

"Don't worry, you are very talented. The sanctimonious professors in this school will only suppress the truly talented students and favor mediocrity. Believe me, your talent is far beyond your imagination. But you can't directly learn the fatigue curse. , you must take it step by step, learn the most basic curses first, and then learn more after mastering them."

More letters appeared on the diary, including even a short paragraph of magic text, "This is the key to using the painful curse. This curse can cause the target to feel a certain degree of pain every once in a while. It is the most basic curse and does not have any Prerequisites for learning," Riedel said.

Erwin spent half a minute reading it roughly. He felt that this guy was quite talented as a teacher. He explained all the key points and precautions of this curse in just one page.

A spell of the same level would require three times the length of the textbook.

The basic pain curse only causes pain and does not cause substantial harm, but its effect is not on the body, but on the soul.

There is an essential difference.

In other words, it can actually be regarded as the entire curse system, and even the introductory spells for intermediate and advanced black magic. After all, the three unforgivable curses considered to be the top black magic are also related to the soul.

"It will only cause pain. I don't think there will be any psychological burden on you while studying."

"But even if I want to study, I have no one to contact," Erwin wrote.

This is a question he really wants to ask. Even if animals are used as training objects, it is definitely not in line with the tone of "love and peace".

What's more, some kind of animal was found at Hogwarts to practice dark magic...Do you really think Hagrid is blind?

"Don't worry, you can use me as your practice partner. This will be secretive enough and you won't be easily discovered by others that you are practicing black magic."

"You?" Erwin found it quite interesting.

"Yes, what is sealed in this diary is the memory before I was sixteen years old, and it is also a part of my soul... In other words, all spells that target the soul can be released on me."

Yes, that means Avada Kedavra can also be used on you.

"This...isn't good," Erwin perfectly expressed the behavior of an innocent and ignorant little boy. "If you are just a remnant soul, won't the curse cause serious harm to you?"

It took a while for the words to appear again in the diary. It seemed that Riddle was also shocked by the boy's "innocence".

"Don't worry about me. There is basically no magic that can hurt me. This low-level curse is even less likely to cause any harm to me. And by targeting me, I can accurately feel your mastery of the curse, and then give it to you.

Guidance.”

So this is his ultimate goal? Erwin touched his chin. Could it be that this diary can absorb the curse and replenish the power of the soul in it.

"Come on, if you really want to improve your power, then don't hesitate or hesitate. Under my guidance, you will learn more than just how to deal with a house elf."

Erwin thought for a moment and thought he could play with Riddle for a while.

The tutorials on the diary were very detailed, and with Erwin's understanding, it was easy to master them. He pointed his wand at the diary and cast the spell.

Nothing seems to happen.

The text appeared again in the diary, "Very good. Although the basic painful curse is not difficult, being able to master it in one go shows that you are a genius, a genius like me. Now let's start practicing the second curse magic, fear

curse……"

"Are you sure I only need to practice once? Shouldn't I practice a few more times to make sure I master it completely?" Erwin looked incredulous.

"You don't need any extra training, we..." Riddle looked very eager.

"I'm sorry that I can't agree with what you said. No matter how talented I am, I still think that I must learn in a down-to-earth and step-by-step manner." Erwin quickly wrote these words and then snapped the diary shut.

It was necessary to disrupt this guy's rhythm. Erwin would certainly not forget that he was the one taking the initiative and there was no need to be led by Riddle.

After closing the diary, this guy couldn't even convey information to the outside world. It was obvious that he was the one begging Erwin, rather than Erwin obeying his arrangements honestly.

When dealing with such people, one must always maintain a clear mind.

It is enough to learn one black magic at a time. Erwin's schedule is very full and he does not have much free time. Moreover, he is not too eager for Riddle's so-called power, because black magic is just power.

Just a kind of.

Just what we are currently working on include the research and development of new magic weapons and repulsion rings, as well as the preparation of specialized red dragon blood potions.

Oh, by the way, that half-scraped Ford Anglia needs to be disposed of.
