Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Ike didn't take Lockhart too seriously. From the Cornwall elf incident, it can be seen that apart from reaching the pinnacle of the Oblivion Curse, his other abilities are really sparse.

Regarding this situation, Ike has a guess.

The improvement of the spell level in the Waste Notebook system will have strong side effects, and most of these side effects are related to the effect of the spell.Just like before, when the level of Ike's Explosion Curse increased quickly, he would have the urge to transform into an explosion maniac.

In the same way, Lockhart put too much energy into the Oblivion Charm, which caused some problems with his own memory, which showed that the effects of other spells were not satisfactory.

In other words, the overly strong Forgetting Curse made him forget how to cast other spells correctly, and this effect was basically irreversible.

After all, Lockhart has no system.

The actions of the "Anti-Lockhart Alliance" were in full swing, but Ike focused most of his energy on studying.

He had not forgotten what was the most dangerous thing about Hogwarts in the second year. It would be unreasonable for something like the basilisk to attack by surprise.

The thick skin and huge body make the basilisk very resistant to ordinary spells, and the lethal effect of the snake eyes also reminded Ike of a legendary creature-Medusa, to a certain extent. The basilisk is even more dangerous than Medusa.

If you see Medusa's eyes, you will only be petrified. If you see the eyes of the basilisk, you will die immediately. Only if you see it indirectly, you will be petrified.That is to say, the basilisk in the original plot did not deliberately kill people. Otherwise, even if he was lucky enough to be petrified, catching the basilisk convulsing on him and doing a tactical roll would just be a different way to die.

Ike didn't want to bet on whether the basilisk would attack him, so he still had to be prepared in advance.

It is necessary to have a small gadget like a looking glass that can detect malicious intent. Even if it does not react to the basilisk, it will still have an effect on the manipulating the basilisk behind the scenes.Also carry a small stone and a mirror with you.The stone is so that it can turn into a rooster if you encounter a basilisk, and the mirror is inspired by the story of Medusa.

According to legend, Perseus, the son of Zeus, defeated Medusa with a mirror made of a bright shield. Ike guessed that it might also be effective against the basilisk.

Maybe the basilisk would petrify itself or even kill itself after seeing the mirror?

Ike had no intention of fighting the basilisk, and all the preparations he made were to create enough time for him to escape.For the basilisk in the secret room, which had lived for hundreds of years, most of Ike's methods were either useless or useless.

Avatar is definitely ineffective. The damage of the Crushing Curse, Exploding Curse, and Cutting Curse are also limited. The Fire Curse is too slow in effect, and it will also give Exit an Azkaban experience ticket.

The Eye Disease Curse can defeat the basilisk's most powerful method, but it is too difficult to hit the Eye Disease Curse in front of the Basilisk, and you will be hit by it if you are not careful.

After much deliberation, the transfiguration technique is more reliable. As long as the basilisk's movements can be controlled, the next step will be easy. Proper fixed target training.However, the main body of Hogwarts Castle has been cast with anti-transformation magic. No one except Dumbledore can deform the walls and floors of the castle, and this road is also blocked.

Therefore, it is not enough, but Ik is still very confident.

The first attack in my memory occurred at the Halloween dinner. It had been almost two months, which was plenty of time. Ike could still make more preparations.

After the curfew, Ike skillfully put on the Disillusionment Curse and became silent, sneaking into the forbidden book area for the first time in the new semester.

The goal this time is very clear, which is to find information about the basilisk.

Basilisk was also mentioned in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", but only in a few sentences, briefly talking about the origin and danger of basilisk. After all, Newt has never seen a basilisk, so he doesn't know much about it. It’s normal to understand.

But in the forbidden book area, Ike firmly believed that he would be able to find detailed information.

Hogwarts was very quiet at night when the school year had just started. It was rare for habitual night criminals to come out so early, which just gave Ike a chance.

Sneak quietly into the forbidden book area and go straight to the bookshelf where evil creatures are cultivated.After flipping through several books, Ike finally found detailed records in "Cultivation Methods of Dangerous Magical Creatures".

This is a rubbing of the notebooks of Merlin's contemporary wizards, which details the breeding methods of many man-made magical creatures, including hippogriffs, griffons, sphinxes and basilisks.

He cracked the protective magic on the notes and simply looked through them in the restricted book area.The more Ike watched, the more frightened he became, and he had a deeper understanding of the saying that if you don't do something, you won't die.

The author of the notes is a dark wizard who admires the famous ancient Greek dark wizard Herbo the Despicable, and most of the content is an attempt to restore the research of the Despicable Herbo.

Curses, black magic, magic rituals, bloodline fusion experiments, and all kinds of evil killing methods made Ike's scalp numb. In comparison, the content about the basilisk was normal.

The method of breeding is not simply to place a male egg under a toad and hatch it.First, the rooster's eggs must be removed from a rooster that has never crowded or mated with a hen, and then soaked in the venom of Thirteen Vipers, without inactivating the rooster's eggs during this period.

After the male egg has absorbed enough venom, select a male toad that is fat enough.After placing the male egg under the toad, to ensure that the toad remains motionless during the entire incubation process, the wizard needs to feed a special magic potion to keep the toad alive while lowering its body temperature as much as possible.

The whole process cannot be interrupted. If the male egg is removed during the incubation process, everything will have to be started again.

When the hatching is about to be completed, the toad will slowly petrify until it turns into a stone, and the new basilisk will crawl out from under the stone.

Newly born basilisks are not very powerful. Even looking directly into their eyes will only give you a stinging feeling in your brain.But when the basilisk grows to an arm's length, it can kill birds, beasts and children.From this point on, the Basilisk will only obey the commands of Parseltongue. If the wizard who cultivated it does not understand Parseltongue, it will become the target of its attack.

Many wizards who cultivate the basilisk will choose to kill it at this time to obtain venom and snake skin. These materials are needed in some magic rituals and potions left by the despicable Herbo.

The owner of the note once cultivated two basilisks. One was killed when it first grew up and turned into material. The other ran away when the owner was not paying attention. Later, it came back and tried to kill the owner of the note. In the end, it became a snake monster. obtained experimental materials.

The battle was swift, and the owner of the note killed the basilisk with only two spells: the Skinning Curse and the Death Curse.

The death curse is the big melon chewed by Avada that has been passed down to this day, and the peeling curse is the black magic studied by the despicable Haierbo.The spell is "skin and bone removal", which will completely peel off the target's skin, leaving only a pool of flesh and blood.This spell was originally used by the despicable Herbo to peel off the fur of magical animals. It could ignore the resistance of magical animals to magic to a certain extent. However, when a dark wizard used it cruelly on people, the scene was too bloody. It was classified as black magic and its use was prohibited.

But its magical concept has been inherited, and the excrement spell commonly used in St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries now has a shadow of the Skinning Curse.

However, Ike doubted how effective the skinning spell would be on the basilisk in the secret room. A basilisk that was one or two years old and a basilisk that was hundreds of years old were completely different concepts, but this was still a good method.

A drop of water penetrates a stone, and quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes. The wizard's method of taming the fire dragon is of great reference value.

Throw a few more peeling spells and you'll always be successful.
