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 house. This is It is also one of the reasons why the Sorting Hat exists.

From a certain perspective, the current Hogwarts House Cup is also a continuation of the ideological dispute between the four great wizards thousands of years ago.And coincidentally, the current situation in the magic world is similar to what it was 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 completely 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 these two types of magic.

There is no doubt that black magic is powerful and it can accomplish almost anything in the world.Immortality and rejuvenation can be achieved with black magic. 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 ridiculously difficult to learn, but it can only be used to drive away dark creatures.As for the death curse, as long as there is a strong emotion to kill others, it can take a person's 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 perception of black magic in the wizarding world today.

But according to Ike, this is just a stereotype.Although he would have been affected by black magic when he first came into contact with it, it hardly arouses his emotions now.

LV7's Occlumency technique is so unreasonable.

And this is also the biggest basis for him to dare to study Slytherin's gifts 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 of the box were obviously sorted by Lao Fu and were divided into two parts. One part contained Slytherin knowledge and the dark magic he had collected, and the other part contained a series of experimental records.The weight and quantity of the two are about the same, which can be said to be a [-]-[-] split.Although it was placed in a small box, it immediately filled the entire laboratory after being taken out.

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 much about the black magic part, Ike just took out a few and decided to learn it.He has mastered many magic spells now, which is enough to cope with most situations. He just needs to learn some new and interesting ones. There is no need to continue to expand his 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, he is more accustomed to using the magic developed from Ravenclaw manuscripts in battles. .

Coupled with the Explosive Curse, the Crushing Curse, the Fire Curse and the 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 of them aim to restore the complete ancient magic system, but they adopt different methods.Ravenclaw prefers theory, while Slytherin focuses on magical experiments.Not only the development of magic spells, but also all kinds of weird experiments, a large part of which are human experiments.

So, it's just that Slytherin's reputation is very bad, but his experiments are really evil!

Dissect the corpse of a wizard to find the reason why the wizard has magical powers; transplant the wizard's internal organs and exchange blood with Muggles to see if Muggles can master the power of magic.There are also experiments where people can be given the limbs, internal organs, and blood of magical animals, and try to use magic to peel off people's souls, etc., which can directly give a dementor's kiss without going through a trial.

Ike was horrified and fascinated by it.The whimsical ideas and rigorous experimental data in it saved him a lot of effort and brought him some new inspiration. It can even be said that it allowed An Tan to see another side of magic and let him know about ancient magic and The biggest difference between modern magic:

rigorous.

Ravenclaw's manuscripts mention some that ancient magic pays 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 the spell to fail, and it will also lead to very serious consequences.

There are also corresponding regulations in modern magic. However, due to the existence of silent spells and magic spells, gestures and spells are not so important to wizards who have mastered these spell-casting skills.Just like Ike, most of his magic now no longer needs to strictly follow the spell-casting procedures, he only needs to wave his hands and move his 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, pays more attention to the emotions and emotions of wizards when casting spells, and is 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.In terms of magic, it's probably the difference between a flame spell and a fierce 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's way of understanding magic, which is very useful for reference.

After a long absence, Ike dug out the Ravenclaw manuscript he copied and compared and confirmed it with Slytherin's research. Although it may not have improved his strength much, there are many problems that he had only half-understanding or just guessed. 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 when all conditions are met, Lao Fu will obtain a body that can accommodate his broken soul and also have the ability to cast spells. Ability, and will not cause any adverse reactions in the physical body.

If you just simply obtain a physical body, it doesn't need to be so complicated at all.When he first possessed Quirrell, Lao Fu could completely eliminate Quirrell's soul and take his body as his own.

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

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