Library is full of wizards.
The orange Magic Lantern provides a simple and bright soft light. Wizards chew on difficult books and secretly eat one or two snacks from time to time.
Madam Pince always turns a blind eye to this kind of behavior, and she is not entirely as strict as the little wizards imagine.
In Restricted Section, the soft light suddenly stopped, and there were only a few dim lanterns placed on the black wooden table, illuminating every page of Sean.
<Deadly Magic>,
Sean is not too impressed by it.
<Deadly Magic> is a book dedicated to describing the most dangerous and evil magic in the wizarding world.
The core of its content is the knowledge about Horcrux. However, the author of this book seems to also extremely hate the magic of Horcrux, so the book clearly refuses to provide specific methods for making Horcrux.
But it does introduce the concept of Horcrux.
The screaming books calmed down after Sean took possession of it, and the black smoke disappeared... This actually means that this book is likely to have some curses.
Because Sean knew for sure that this book didn't exist, so he dared to get started directly - otherwise, in Restricted Section's place, he still had to be careful.
The ancient wizards were not very kind.
Sean I remember that there is an ancient book that will burn the reader's eyes out; there is a book <Wizard's Sonnets>, whoever reads this book can only speak in five-line limericks for the rest of his life; there is also a book Bass by an old wizard that you can never put down once you read it, you will bury your face in the book wherever you go, and you have to learn to do everything with one hand.
After gathering his thoughts, Sean opened the black and silver book cover and saw a name: Godelot.
He paused for a moment, then continued reading.
[The male egg hatched by Toad will hatch out a dangerous snake with extraordinary abilities. It is often rumored that this is the evil discovery of Despicable Herpo.
But every sane wizard will realize that this is nonsense.
Despicable Herpo did not discover Basilisk, but created Basilisk.
This is a kind of evil biological magic]
After finding the chapter cultivated by Basilisk, Sean's curiosity was not relieved at all, but was completely attracted.
He moved his eyes away from the words "Evil Biological Magic" and began to recall the deeds of Godelot in his mind:
With the help of a magic wand, he wrote a batch of dangerous spells and advanced Dark Arts's research.
Sean is no stranger to this batch of spells. Biting Curse and Tongue-Tying Curse are all from this dark wizard.
Unfortunately, his wand is exactly Elder Wand.
[My most evil and mysterious friend, the body of the staff is made of El Horn (Elder Wood ancient saying), and he is familiar with all kinds of the most evil magic.
When I use it, I know where the wizard's magic comes from]
Restricted Section Suddenly there was a gust of cold wind, Sean raised his eyes and saw that the night outside had fallen.
He stared at his wand, wondering what he was thinking.
Yamanashi is long-winded and Limu is lazy,
White wax is stubborn, hazelwood is delicate.
Elder Wood's magic wand will never prosper...
Inexplicably, these lines of the song written in <Tales of Beedle the Bard> appeared in his mind.
The cultivation process of Basilisk is clearly written in this book, and the purpose of Sean has been achieved.
He first wrote the Basilisk cultivation ceremony word for word on Parchment, and then continued to read:
[Cruel and twisted, my old friend said.
I must warn every wizard that there is a price to pay for studying such magic. If you think you can do it, then read on.
Dark Arts enables the wizard to express extraordinary magical power, or in other words, allows the wizard to exert the power of magic.
This power is so powerful that it can study life and summon death.
Any wise wizard will ponder the intoxicating secrets involved...]
Sean frowned, and the illustrations of Basilisk, Acromantula, and Dementor appeared in the book. These illustrations all illustrate the biological miracle that Dark Arts has done - it created life.
As for summoning death... that's easier to explain.
[It is so difficult to create a positive belief, but so easy to create an evil belief.
Any wizard can indulge in killing and cruelty, my old friend, it calls me all the time.
Call me... Wizards who go to extremes will possess extremely powerful power.
This proves,
Magic is essentially a belief]
Sean put down the book silently.
In a daze, the writings were melting rapidly. He frowned and looked at this absolutely unusual scene.
Those writings were reorganized together to form new words:
[Black Magical Creatures itself was created in the extreme belief of wizards, and so was Dark Curse.
As for some more terrifying directions, we should not talk about Horcrux, the most evil magical invention, nor should we give guidance.
The only thing I want to point out to you is that generations of Elder Wand owners are studying the most mysterious fields, and they are born with stronger beliefs.
The pursuit of more powerful magical power will sooner or later corrode their souls, and no one has been spared from this since ancient times.
You see here, Apprentice, Apprentice who owns Elder Wand... I remind you, I remind you again, I died of such paranoia, I have spent my life pursuing the essence of magic...
But at a certain moment, I recalled the decision I had made. I took a shortcut and believed in cruel beliefs, but the essence of magic may be more than that]
The handwriting also disappeared, and Sean realized that he had been looking at the blank page at the end of the book for a long time.
Godelot's words provided a special direction for Sean, and he began to think about seemingly distant and vague words such as will, emotion, and belief.
He thought of Voldemort, who was cruel and twisted enough, so he reached a depth that no one knew about in Dark Arts;
He believes in Magic Is Might, so he is strong enough to compete with Dumbledore at a young age.
Maybe magic, to some extent, really is what wizards believe in?
Wizards strengthen their beliefs to tap stronger magic, and the chosen beliefs also change the wizard's character.
Is this the true meaning of Dark Arts corrupting the soul of a wizard?
From the beginning of his study of magic spells and Potions, Sean knew that the wizard's emotions and beliefs had an impact on the power of magic, but this was the first time that Sean saw such a clear description of the relationship between wizards and magic.
The night was dark, and when I walked out of Restricted Section, the corridor was already silent.
"What expresses our true selves is our choices, and choices are much more important than our abilities."
At this moment, Sean suddenly understood the deep meaning of Headmaster Dumbledore's words.
Wizards can choose their own beliefs.
