The Most Dangerous Magic Recorded by the Ministry of Magic
Is the Blood Pact the most dangerous magic? Sean immediately fell into deep thought after learning this from Barty Jr..
This was something he hadn't anticipated.
Barty Jr. sent back last time, he had always thought that the Blood Pact was at the very bottom of the ten magic ranks. But now, is this ranking actually a ranking of danger levels, or is it from top to bottom?!
Sean remembered clearly that, besides the Blood Pact, there was also the [Horcrux] ranked second and the [Unknown Blood] ranked sixth.
If what Barty Jr. said is true, then wouldn't that mean that among those ten spells, Horcrux are only the second to last in terms of danger?!
Is the Blood Pact far more dangerous than the Horcrux?
This is something Sean simply cannot understand.
Horcrux, this terrifying and evil magic, even surpasses the Three Unforgivable Curses. Besides the incantation, the necessary condition for creating Horcrux is killing. Sean doesn't know the details, but even just imagining it gives him a glimpse of the evil nature of this magic.
More importantly, those who know about this evil magic are almost all extremely powerful wizards, such as the legendary inventor of Horcrux, the evil Herpo, and the now completely insane Voldemort.
Splitting one's soul can cause a wizard's sanity to gradually become unstable. When this happens to a powerful Dark Wizard, it's like cutting the fuse of an explosive device. An unstable, powerful madman can cause endless carnage.
As for the Blood Pact, based on the information Sean already has, the Blood Pact is essentially a kind of Magic of Love. This magic uses the blood of two people as a medium to form a contract, which is that peculiarly shaped lapel pin.
As long as Blood Pact exists, it means that the two people have an inviolable vow. Its effect is that the two parties can never fight each other, and their magic can never harm each other.
Why is this type of restrictive magic more dangerous than Horcrux?
"The contents, the contents of those ten spells?" Sean suppressed his inner doubts and calmly asked Barty Jr..
Barty Jr. remained kneeling devoutly on the ground, whispering, "Master, none of those ten spells have specific incantations—to be precise, some are spells, some are magical materials, and some might be Magical Item. Even the Ministry of Magic, which controls the British Wizarding World, has only collected partial information about these dangerous objects over the centuries."
"Hmm, tell me about it." Sean suppressed his curiosity and spoke calmly.
It seemed that the master already knew... Barty Jr. lowered his head even further and began to talk about the information he had received from his father.
"First, and the least dangerous, is what the Ministry of Magic calls the ' Heart of Merlin.' It is described as follows: The ' Heart of Merlin ' is not, as the name suggests, the heart of the great wizard Merlin. It is said that after his death, the descendants of his enemies obtained a part of his body and commissioned Goblin to use it as a material to create a Magical Item. Legend has it that the ' Heart of Merlin ' can enhance the wielder's magical power and allow them to perform unlimited Transfiguration, just like Merlin himself. However, anyone who possesses the ' Heart of Merlin ' for more than twelve full months will encounter a terrible misfortune, followed by a severe disaster. The specific details of this misfortune and disaster are unknown, and the ' Heart of Merlin ' is also missing. This information is reliable and has a certain degree of credibility."
[Heart of Merlin]... a name Sean had never heard of before, it sounded like one of those cursed treasures.
Barty Jr. continued speaking.
"Secondly, this is a type of magic, which the Ministry of Magic calls ' Horcrux.' It is described as follows: ' Horcrux are perhaps one of the most evil forms of magic in the world. This magic can split a fragment of a wizard's soul, and the object in which that Residual Soul resides is the Horcrux. As long as the Horcrux is not destroyed, the wizard is not truly dead. It is rumored that this magic was invented by the Herpo the Foul, and the spell and its creation conditions are unknown. (Salazar Slytherin, one of the founders of Hogwarts, may also have known about the spell and creation method of Horcrux.)'"
Sean frowned. It seemed the Ministry of Magic didn't know much about Horcrux either...
"Thirdly, this is also a kind of magic..."
Barty Jr.. obtained all the information from his father, whom he controlled, and he relayed it all to Sean. Of the five less dangerous individuals, aside from the Horcrux, Sean had never heard of any of them.
However, the Ministry of Magic's descriptions of those dangerous objects are not perfect. Their assessment of the danger of these spells, magical materials, and Magical Item largely comes from information left over from the early days of the Ministry of Magic's establishment, which seems to have been passed down from generation to generation in the families of the founding members of the Ministry of Magic.
Of course, the Ministry of Magic also learned of some extremely dangerous spells through various channels in the future, and they added them to the list according to their own judgment.
For example, the fifth one, which the Ministry of Magic calls the "Vampire Ritual," seems to be Ancient Magic practiced within vampires. The specific details are unknown, but each time a "Vampire Ritual" is performed, at least a hundred people die, and this appears to be a specific part of the ritual.
"Sixth, this is a magical material, or rather, a material derived from Magical Creatures. The Ministry of Magic calls it ' Qilin's Blood '."
Qilin ... Sean narrowed his eyes slightly. This was the second name he recognized, besides the Horcrux.
He had just learned of the name from Professor Scamander a few days ago.
According to Newt, the Qilin is also extremely magical among the unique Magical Creatures of the East. Asia wizards call it a divine beast, and it is rumored that the International Confederation of Wizards used the Qilin to select its president at the beginning of its establishment.
But how could the Qilin's Blood be so dangerous?
Barty Jr. continued, "The Qilin's Blood originates from the ancient mythical beast Qilin of the East. This Magical Creatures possesses extremely powerful magic. Initially, the president of the International Confederation of Wizards chose to utilize a living Qilin. However, very few people know that the Qilin's Blood is an extremely dangerous magical material. To be precise, the Qilin's Blood can make a wizard extremely dangerous."
"There are no specific records regarding the uses, methods of application, or effects of this magical material. According to historical information, hundreds of years ago, an Asia wizard from Japan came into contact with the Qilin's Blood. The only known information is that after coming into contact with the Qilin's Blood, the wizard became an extremely terrifying Dark Wizard. He committed many horrific crimes of murder, and ordinary wizards were completely unable to stop him wherever he went. More importantly, he seemed to always be able to evade capture, and for a long time, he could leave unscathed after committing evil deeds."
"Later, a wizard appeared in the ancient East, the birthplace of the mythical Qilin. It is said that the wizard found Dark Wizard in Japan in just half a day. The wizard packed the Dark Wizard up and took him back. The so-called packing up meant that blood, flesh, bones, organs and everything else were separated, and even the Dark Wizard's soul was taken away."
"The Dark Wizard's soul was 'suppressed' by a unique Eastern magic. After the wizard's death, Dark Wizard soul, tormented for a hundred years, was finally released. According to information, that wizard also had contact with the [Qilin's Blood], but he forcefully suppressed his evil thoughts with his willpower. It is said that after his death, the wizard transformed into a terrifying creature, and after that incident, there has been no further news about the [Qilin's Blood]."
After listening to Barty Jr.'s long description, Sean couldn't help but gasp.
From this perspective, the Qilin's Blood likely contains immense power, but the price is the generation of immense evil thoughts, and suppressing these evil thoughts requires extremely strong willpower.
Barty Jr. added at the end, "Master, the Ministry of Magic mentioned a very uncertain piece of information at the end of its description of the [Qilin's Blood]."
"Um?"
"As mentioned above, the source of this information is unknown and its accuracy cannot be confirmed: After interacting with the Qilin's Blood through unknown methods, the wizard may gain magical abilities related to 'precognition' or ' Divination '."
Uncertain news... but this explanation seems plausible. The Japan Dark Wizard always managed to evade the combined attacks of sorcerers, which might be related to his ability to 'predict' or ' Divination '.
Barty Jr. continued his description.
The seventh through ninth items were all things Sean had never heard of before. Similarly, as the level of danger increased, the Ministry of Magic's descriptions became less and less detailed. Often, they would only provide general descriptions of some things, without mentioning the specific spells, their origins, or the specific processes involved. The only common point was that they all mentioned at the end: extremely dangerous.
Some are dangerous objects in themselves, while others can make the wizards who possess or use them extremely dangerous.
Finally, they arrived at the tenth one, the one with the highest danger level, the [Blood Pact] that Sean had been waiting for.
Barty Jr., who had been talking non-stop, hadn't even taken a sip of water. Sean could see through the blurry image that Barty was licking his lips. As a kind master who combined kindness and severity, he should praise Barty at this moment.
But Barty Jr. was too enthusiastic. Sean knew that as soon as he praised him, Barty would become so excited that he would probably spout a lot of words of loyalty.
Sean, eager to learn about the Blood Pact, didn't say much.
Barty Jr. licked his dry lips, feeling a surge of excitement. For the first time, his master had remained silent during his long-winded speech.
What does this prove? It proves that although the owner had anticipated this, there were indeed some details he was unaware of.
Barty Jr. was incredibly excited at the thought of the tremendous contribution he had made.
He quickly stuck out his tongue like a snake and continued talking to his master.
"Next is the last one, the tenth, which is the most dangerous. It seems to be a spell, but the Ministry of Magic has no clear record of it. To be precise, the Ministry of Magic's description of it is very vague."
Sean was about to start swearing.
Merlin's underwear, can you hurry up?! We're all involved in terrorist organizations, what kind of atmosphere are you trying to create with me?!
Fortunately, Barty Jr.'s opening remarks were short; he immediately began describing the contents of the Ministry of Magic's records.
"The Ministry of Magic refers to it as the ' Blood Pact,' describing it as follows: Throughout history, magic has contained the power of emotions, including anger, hatred, and joy, and naturally, love. According to records, Magic of Love seems to have one thing in common: it utilizes the power of blood."
"Blood from kin usually provides an extremely powerful and proven force, which, when combined with ancient magic, would make for very strong defensive magic. We thought so when we first came into contact with the Blood Pact."
"The origin and efficacy of this magic are very vague. Initially, when identifying magic, the senior officials of the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic judged that [Blood Pact] might be a kind of contractual blood magic. This kind of magic is usually cast by two equal parties with informed consent. After casting, it may form some kind of bondage or restriction. We speculate that this bondage or restriction is a constraint on both casters."
"However, we later found descriptions of the Blood Pact. In historical records written in Ancient Runes, the author described this magic as 'a terrifying magic rarely seen in the world.' He used words like 'ritual' to describe it, but classified it as Ancient Magic rather than Ancient Magic."
"This scholar either didn't know the specifics or was influenced by something, his information is often disjointed and many parts are vague and difficult to understand, but we found a key word in it."
"This keyword is the same as the key point in Ancient Runes and Ancient Magic: [Equivalent Exchange]."
The scholar concluded by writing, "Under unimaginable risks, enormous costs will yield high returns; this is the essence of the Blood Pact."
"[The Blood Pact will be the most terrifying magic in the world; at least in my long life, I have never seen such terrifying magic.] "
"In the few other ancient documents available, descriptions of Blood Pact are even scarcer, but without exception, all of them point to one thing: Blood Pact are extremely dangerous magic."
Sean's pupils contracted slightly. He had imagined the description of the Blood Pact, but he had never thought it would be so straightforward.
The Ministry of Magic unanimously agrees that the Blood Pact is extremely dangerous!
Furthermore, in the scholar's records, the scholar stated that he had never seen such terrifying magic before...
It's important to understand that in the era Ancient Runes records were available, Ancient Magic and Ancient Magic were prevalent. Although these spells were not stable or comprehensive enough, they had one thing in common that later magic could not match: they were all incredibly powerful.
Under these circumstances, the Blood Pact was actually the most terrifying magic in the other party's eyes.
Sean's mood suddenly turned heavy; this description was completely different from his impression of the Blood Pact!
