Tom has also seen some introductions to special wand core materials. It is said that there are also wands that use your own hair or your own hand bones as materials...
For his own wand, his idea was to imitate the wands of his ancestors.
It just so happens that the wand of Slytherin is that of Snakewood, and the core of his wand is the horn of Basilisk.
Therefore, at the beginning, Tom was also thinking about whether he could use the corner of Horned Serpent as the core of the staff.
But it is a pity that the horn of Horned Serpent is the source of its power. If you really use its horn as the core of the staff, then there is a great possibility that the Horned Serpent accompanying you will directly lose its power, or even lose its life...
Therefore, this idea was abandoned long ago.
However, since Slytherin has cultivated Basilisk, using the horn of this dangerous black Magical Creatures as the core of the staff, maybe you can make it yourself.
So why do you think about the rod core from Phosphorus Fire Burn?
The main reason is that he suddenly thought of something - Phosphorus Fire Burn is a burning skeleton.
Tom If we can obtain some bones, can they also be used to make wand cores?
Since I am so adaptable to this magic, this may be a reminder of fate.
Moreover, he has a more radical idea. Although wizards' bones are not completely irregenerable, wizards often do not think of using their own bones to cast spells.
Every inch of their bodies has been tempered by magic power. If they use bones to cast spells, all the past accumulation will be invalidated.
But this also has corresponding benefits.
At the end of Phosphorus Fire Burn's magic book, there is this sentence.
"If you are willing, when you cast this magic, you can cut off a section of your own arm as material. In that case, you will find that you have obtained a flame that is as powerful as Fiendfyre, but is extremely obedient... As long as you end the battle before your arm is completely burned..."
With this tip, there is obviously a chance to use bones to make the core of the staff.
As Tom, who has studied with Medicine from Mo Fei, we also know that the ribs in the human body are not completely necessary. Perhaps cutting off a section of the ribs will not have such a big impact on the body.
Moreover, as the rib is the bone closest to the heart, its mystical significance seems to be even greater. Will the wand made in this way be even more magical?
But Tom has no intention of doing this now.
Obviously he doesn't have this ability yet, so this conjecture just remains in the plan.
However, the magic of Phosphorus Fire Burn still inspired Tom a lot.
If this magic is called Dark Magic, there is no problem. After all, the premise of casting the spell is an impulse to destroy one's bones...
Tom did not have such thoughts, but when he was practicing casting spells, what he imagined in his mind was the rigor and solemnity of dissecting a corpse next to Mo Fei.
In order to teach Tom Medicine, Mo Fei, of course it is impossible to just describe the pictures of human anatomy. There are many differences between pictures and reality.
In order to meet such requirements, it is obvious that the help of a general teacher is needed.
However, this kind of behavior, without official certification, is a serious desecration, and a corpse that can be used for dissection is not so easy to obtain.
In response to such a request, Mo Fei once again acted as the knight London.
He searched for a very guilty prisoner, killed him and brought him back, and then took Tom for a few dissections.
Just before the dissection, he seriously warned Tom.
"The corpse in front of us, no matter how guilty he was during his lifetime, everything has been washed away because of death. Now we have to be grateful for his contribution..."
Mo Fei taught Tom many times about respecting corpses and respecting death.
In the original work, Voldemort means leaping over death. In other words, Tom itself is afraid of death.
Let him be constantly exposed to these deaths, also to give him a correct concept of death.
Death is never scary, and facing death is not a scary thing either.
When Mo Fei's scalpel cut through the skin of the corpse, peeling off the organs bit by bit, and separating the flesh and blood from the bones, Tom did not feel terrible, but instead felt a kind of sacred solemnity.
This is not a game, but a real face to death.
Tom imagined that kind of scene when he cast the spell, as if there was a skeleton in front of him that had been stripped of flesh and blood, and then Phosphorus Fire rose from the skeleton, burning away all traces little by little.
No matter how evil or great its owner is, it's the same.
Death thus completely removes all traces of life.
And Tom didn't notice that the Phosphorus Fire he released seemed to be different from the one in the wizard's hand.
The Phosphorus Fire in the wizard's hand was a dark green evil flame. The flame released by Tom was also green, but it didn't seem to jump. It just stayed there quietly. In the middle, there was a little silver light flickering...
Regarding this magic, he always felt that something had changed.
However, he did not want to ask others. He planned to study this magical change himself.
Because of the existence of this magic, he became interested in the concept of death itself.
Different from all previous interests in magic, this time, I want to understand death more seriously...
He experienced death...
In other words, he has witnessed death with his own eyes--
When Mrs. Field passed away, the children in the orphanage were very close to each other. Although he was still young at that time, he attended the entire funeral of the lady.
The mark of death left its mark on his heart at that time.
Also, when they first arrived at Hogwarts, the first-grade wizard couldn't take the Thestral carriage to the castle.
But he still saw the appearance of Thestral, which was also a special appearance of death...
Also, when the old guy from Black Snake Gang came to the orphanage to attack Mo Fei, he used Parseltongue to control the venomous snake and bit the enemy to death.
This is death forged by his own hands...
Witnessed death, created death...
These things are now beginning to have an impact on Tom.
If those wizards who want to improve themselves see the changes that have taken place in Tom, they will definitely be envious and jealous. Many of them will never find this opportunity to find a future direction.
Tom's changes were not noticed at all by other little wizards.
And he didn't deliberately show it in front of the professors at school, so no one knew what kind of changes had occurred in him.
After the change, Phosphorus Fire Burn is now different from the original one.
Now this Charms can even remove the curse by burning bones, just like death itself. In the face of death, no curse can last.
Also discovering this, Tom turned his head again and began to study the curse.
This kept him busy.
In addition to his normal study life, he is busy planting plants, studying various magics, and constantly absorbing various knowledge from the library...
This method of absorbing nutrients hungrily like a sponge made Headmaster Dippet, who had been observing him, wonder if he should relax a little.
The tight life is too boring for wizards...
But before he could speak, Mo Fei's letter came to Hogwarts again. After receiving the letter, Tom felt as if he had found a place of peace of mind and finally relaxed a lot.
