Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 114 "Dark Power: Tracing the Origin of the Curse"

(This chapter is private, Mopuwen.)
[The curse is classified as a black curse, that is, a spell that will have a negative effect on the target.Is the most evil type of black magic, the intention is to affect the target in a strong negative way.

Casting a curse usually requires a long time of preparation, evil and ancient materials, direct contact with the caster, or certain materials on the caster—blood, skin, or hair and nails left in the last year.

Although curses come in many forms and have different effects, most are evil, powerful, and have a long duration that is difficult to undo.

To get rid of the curse, you must have a targeted method to get rid of the curse. Even if you find a way to get rid of the curse, it still needs to be very precious...even materials from extinct ancient magic creatures, or materials from some magical animals that are banned from hunting by the Ministry of Magic. ]
McGuffin was in the library, flipping a page lightly, with his other hand writing notes on the parchment next to it.

He is looking for information related to the blood curse.

——After knowing what was going on with the so-called 'blood curse' this time, with a targeted search, it was easy to find a lot of materials related to curses or blood curses even if they were not in the restricted area.

The book in front of him was another book by Quentin Trimble, The Power of Darkness: The Origin of the Curse.

As the editor of the Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts books, his books are undoubtedly just suitable for McGuffin to understand and learn about curses and blood curses.

Not like those banned books that McGuffin and Harry got from the restricted section.

Even if there is no dangerous magic attached to those books, the content described in the text is usually obscure and difficult to understand. Not only a series of ancient Latin or other types of magic words, but even some of the author's own type of text...

"Damn!——Is this something humans do? Inventing a typed text by yourself, even wizards should be punished by heaven!"

——Anger (▼ヘ▼#)
When McGuffin turned to this page of the book, he found what he wanted to read.

— about the blood curse.

[Blood Curse, some people call it Blood Curse, and its formal and ancient name is Blood Curse.

It is a special type of curse that does not directly kill the target, but always exists in the blood and is passed on to the next generation.

The next generation is called the blood curse orcs, they have the blood curse on them, and it has been passed down from generation to generation. As long as there are such descendants, this evil curse will be passed down forever...

Because these blood-cursed orcs were born with a curse, even the descendants of wizards would not have magical talents, as if this curse had taken away their magical aptitude...

This is very different from the result that their magical level has been greatly increased due to the blood curse of one of their parents.

This phenomenon puzzles all wizards who study the nature of magic. The once famous wizard of magic theory, Adebe Woflin (author of the book "Magic Theory"), has a conjecture - the essence of magic talent is not passed down from the blood of the wizard, but is generated by the interaction between the wizard himself and the magical environment.

(This made the pure-blood families headed by the Malfoy family very angry. It is rumored that they sent letters to threaten Waughlin one after another... In the end, Woflin deleted the relevant description in his book "The Theory of Magic"... Of course, this has nothing to do with the fact that the Malfoy family strongly recommended this book on the Hogwarts board of directors after that, and entered the Hogwarts first-year students to buy books...)
...The blood curse will gradually deepen the connection with the constant changes of the cursed person.

To a certain extent, even like Animagus, it can switch between animals and humans, and even the human body will gain some animal abilities.

But as the changes deepen and the curse deepens, the cursed people will gradually lose their memory and sense of being human, and they will eventually become an animal forever, completely a beast.

...The most common known types of blood-cursed orcs are snakes, sheep, cows, dogs, cats, etc.

...It has been verified that the blood-cursed orcs were created by ancient wizards who deliberately combined themselves with some magical animals, or animals they thought had magical powers, in order to improve their magic power level and magic talent.

It was later discovered that this behavior would cause the wizard to become mentally insane and physically irreversible...

For example, the Tauren, Medusa, Harpy in ancient Rome, or Anubis, Sphinx (Sphinx) in ancient Egypt, and the bull head and horse face in Eastern China are all caused by this kind of magic...

On the basis of this, the wizards of the survivors (lucky to restore the original state) developed and improved their magic to become the top-level deformation magic of Animagus and the vicious spell of blood curse, which is specially used to curse others evilly.

(Of course, wizards can transform others, which is a unique magical talent, ... this is another matter ^)

It was once stated that lycanthropy is a very special kind of blood curse orc.

——The legend that vampires and werewolves come from the same ancestor is extremely unbelievable and absurd... It comes from extremely irresponsible gossip.

So far, only wizard families in East Asia or some places in Eastern Europe have the spread of [Blood Curse]...

Although someone once proposed to put this vicious spell in the Unforgivable Curse at the International Magic Conference, once someone did not allow it to be cast, it would trigger the law.

However, it was rejected at the International United Magic Association because there were few people who could cast this kind of spell, or the victims were too rare. ]
……

After turning to the last page, McGuffin stretched, his spine bouncing.

It reminded him of the night when he turned into a snake—the feeling of twisting his spine to drive forward.

He couldn't help but feel bad...

In addition, he was a little disappointed because of the content in the book.

Although the above description is very complete, with rich pictures and texts, most of them can be easily understood by McGuffin when reading it, but this book is like some kind of magical reading for young wizards. It only briefly introduces and summarizes the development, history and nature of the curse, and there is no specific description or solution of the blood curse.

And most other books related to black magic or curses are similar,... the descriptions related to blood curses are either vague, or simply mentioned to deal with it...

These books are of little use to themselves.

Take a long inhale and exhale, which relieved McGuffin's depressed mood a little.

Then he closed his eyes and slowly opened the parchment in his mind.
