Vizet concluded that the victims had been Squibs given limited magic before being collectively transformed by Lycanthropy Disease, and Sebastian realized the Society was exploiting Squib descendants.

• Vizet explained that Voldemort had created a Ritual Magic that made the Squibs complete the first step of making a Horcrux.

Vizet explained how Voldemort planned to use murder, Lycanthropy Disease, and Fire Salamander blood to create Muggles who could use magic. He described the resulting creatures’ abilities and uncontrolled full-moon transformations, while noting that his Ritual Magic had changed how werewolves behaved.

• Vizet explained that Voldemort’s ritual would make participants murder one another, tearing their souls apart, while ensuring Squibs survived as the final participants.
• Vizet said Voldemort would infect the Squibs with Lycanthropy Disease to keep their souls fractured and make them transform into werewolves on full moons.

• Vizet said his Ritual Magic had redefined werewolves and Lycanthropy Disease so that transformed Werewolf Wizards remained completely calm.

Vizet argued that Voldemort was using Herpo and the Isaiah Society to build a personal wizard army from people marked with his Soul Particles, whose combined malice could fuel War Magic. He concluded that Voldemort could not sense when his Horcruxes were destroyed or his Soul Particles removed, leaving the group confident their actions had gone unnoticed.

• Vizet explained that Voldemort would never truly submit to Herpo and might be pursuing his own plan through their cooperation.
• Sebastian Sallow proposed that Voldemort's many Horcruxes could have supplied more Soul Fragments than the Isaiah Society could match.
• Vizet suggested Voldemort was assembling an army of people bearing his Soul Particles, and Ominis Gaunt identified the plan's connection to War Magic.
• Vizet explained that the army's malice could combine with War Magic to amplify Voldemort's spells, while its members' lack of independent thought would suit his distrust of others.
• Sebastian Sallow worried that extracting Soul Particles might alert Voldemort, but Vizet said Voldemort could not sense destroyed Horcruxes or removed Soul Particles.

• Vizet duplicated his notes and gave Sebastian the instructions for the potion and dolls; Sebastian discovered that Vizet had also improved the original Wolfsbane Potion formula.

Vizet explained how Voldemort’s use of soul fragments inspired his idea to replace Voldemort’s Soul Particles with memories. After discovering that Voldemort’s methods for transforming Squibs echoed Vizet’s research, Vizet agreed there might be a deliberate trap or a traitor, but chose to handle the matter himself before leaving at morning.

• Sebastian Sallow hinted that he had noticed something troubling in Vizet’s notes as they returned to the living room.

The conversation left Sebastian hoping to rest while Serena offered to stun him if he could not sleep.

• Sebastian handed Serena the notebook, and Ominis explained that Vizet had improved the Wolfsbane Potion before changing its formula.

The two toasted to a better world, with Jacob accepting Dumbledore’s thanks for helping the morning demonstration succeed.
