Voldemort's soul

Voldemort was also quite adept at restoring the body when the soul was missing.

Wizard are inherently Trinity; Voldemort tore his soul apart so many times, yet his physical body and Magic structure did not collapse, which is enough to demonstrate his achievement in this regard.

In order to delve into Voldemort's Soul Studies, Will even studied the Horcrux -making process over and over again.

Horcrux are not as simple as they seem. Harry's ability to become Horcrux was purely accidental; it just so happened that the circumstances at the time met some of the criteria for the creation of Horcrux.

To create Horcrux, one must first create a rift in one's own soul through murder—yes, a deliberate, malicious murder will cause a rift in the Wizard's Soul.

However, it's just a crack. Splitting the soul requires an additional incantation to actively tear the soul apart. Only then can one attach their soul to certain objects and create Horcrux.

The harm this method inflicts on Wizard is self-evident.

As for the physical damage, it can be seen from the changes in his appearance.

According to the professors at the time, Voldemort had jet-black hair, black eyes, a pale face, and handsome features during his time at the university.

Around the time of his graduation, his facial features appeared more defined against his pale skin, and his eyes occasionally flashed red.

By this time, he had already created his first Horcrux, the Diary, so his body underwent some changes after losing part of his soul.

When Voldemort reappeared after his travels around the world, he was no longer human—his face seemed to have been burned, his features were blurred, and he was strangely distorted like wax, with the whites of his eyes seemingly permanently bloodshot... He wore a long black Cloak, and his face was as white as the snowflakes on his shoulders.

This is enough to illustrate the impact of a missing soul on a person; even after he realized this, the Horcrux that followed the Diary were rather "crude and poorly made."

Only his Diary possesses intelligence and can communicate; the other Horcrux are essentially just [Life Boxes].

Even after his soul was divided into eight parts, Voldemort was able to maintain a relatively normal form—of course, without a nose and with red eyes, he looked quite different from a human.

This is all thanks to his unique recovery method, which allows him to survive in this state.

First, Voldemort didn't modify his Magic structure—of course, it's also possible that he couldn't see it and therefore didn't dare. Will hadn't directly observed Voldemort's situation, but he didn't think Voldemort's Magic structure was completely without problems.

The absence of a soul brings about a whole host of problems.

A wounded soul can gradually heal through the interplay of Magic structures and the physical body, but don't forget the second principle of Voldemort's theory of the soul.

The Irreversibility of Soul Splitting means that a split soul cannot be restored.

This will prevent the Magic structure and physical body from repairing the soul, and will ultimately lead to deficiencies in the Magic structure and physical body.

Voldemort had to find a way to maintain his Magic.

Unable to manipulate the Magic structure, Voldemort could only work on his own body. His approach was extreme: he would fix whatever was wrong with his body.

It means using Dark Magic to cultivate one's own flesh and blood to replenish oneself—the flesh and blood reproduction uses some of Herpo the Foul's secret Dark Magic, while replenishing oneself is done with the Flesh-Stitching Curse.

Yes, Voldemort underwent extensive flesh stitching, which directly resulted in his appearance being "as if his face had been burned, his features blurred, like wax." That blurred appearance was caused by the flesh stitching.

This method is both painful and disgusting.

However, Voldemort was quite satisfied with this method. He felt it was a form of purification, and during this process, he would release some of his own blood, symbolizing the "discarding of Muggle blood."

It seemed that by doing so, he could get closer and closer to his ancestor Slytherin.

When Will learned of this, he was first shocked, then disdainful.

His shock stemmed from his astonishment at Voldemort's madness, while his disdain... was directed at Voldemort's contempt, because Will had always believed that Voldemort created so many Horcrux because he had a way to avoid some of the consequences.

But unexpectedly, Voldemort simply toughed it out.

However, his method did give Will some inspiration. Combining it with Voldemort's theory of the soul, Will pondered for a long time and came up with some ways to help Scrimgeour.

Will wants to try to "capture" Scrimgeour's soul.

In fact, if it weren't for time constraints and the fact that the boundaries hadn't been clearly explored, Will would have wanted to use the method of "creating an extra arm" to directly eradicate the Curse.

Will wonders if having an extra arm will result in an extra portion of the Magic structure and soul within it.

Moreover, even if it could be done, it would take a very long time, so Will decided to use the "soul capture" method.

That is, to cultivate a new hand, then cut it off, and try to capture the soul from the severed hand. If that part of the soul does not carry Curse, then Scrimgeour can directly use his own arm.

Will felt he needed to create a few more patients; the research would take some more time.

After all, Scrimgeour only has one life, and there are many other Dark Wizard in the world.

He opened the Dungeon door and brought out several Dark Wizard.

He arranged for the Dark Wizard to come into contact with the Dark Wizard who had previously been infected with the Curse by Scrimgeour, thus giving Will several more "infected test subjects."

For the next few hours, Will observed the subjects' reactions and the damage the Curse inflicted on their souls.

Will needs to figure out whether the Curse infects the soul or damages the soul through the physical body and Magic structure.

Because Will cannot directly observe the Wizard's Soul, he can only use the most basic method, which is comparative observation.

It's safe to say that Dumbledore didn't fully understand this; the Soul Studies truly is one of the most secretive and profound disciplines in the Wizarding World...

[ps: I've been quite busy lately, sometimes working overtime late, so updates have been late.]

However, I will continue to accumulate drafts and adjust my schedule in the near future. I will start scheduled updates in the first few days of November, tentatively at 6 pm or 12 pm. I will take into account everyone's feedback to see what time you would prefer me to update.

Also, only one update today... because the author's computer crashed...
