The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

In the eyes of the vast majority of ordinary wizards in the wizarding world, those who can skillfully use black magic are dark wizards. But what is black magic? In the relevant documents and regulations of the Ministry of Magic, black magic is defined as magic that causes irreparable harm to the caster or the person under the spell to cause irreparable harm to the body or soul. Such magic is collectively known as black magic. In the eyes of ordinary wizards, magic that causes great damage and targets souls is black magic. Like the Three Unforgivable Curses are typical black magic, the fire charm, corrosion charm, and other spells that can cause irrecurable damage to others are all classified as black magic by the Ministry of Magic.

Solim knew when he was in school in Sguler that black magic is not as simple as the Ministry of Magic explained, as long as it is powerful magic is black magic, which is a misconception.

To understand what black magic is and what white magic is, it is necessary to delve into the question of what is magic. What is magic? Is it a colorful ray from a stick in the wizard’s hand? This is the case in the eyes of most wizards, because they don’t study magic, they are just users, and most wizards are not qualified users.

Sguller gave Solim’s standard answer: magic is emotions, magic is the will of wizards.

Very idealistic, isn’t it?

For example, the magic riots of young wizards all break out when they are emotionally unstable. For example, Neville was thrown from the stairs, Harry was pushed by Dudley and disappeared glass, or Solim, who was desperate to learn magic. Magic Riot turns the magic of young wizards into a dominant existence, allowing them to consciously manipulate things: floating cups, still water droplets, etc. And what steps does it take for a real magic to be unleashed? The first is to condense the magic power, let the latter inject the will, and finally release it through the wand.

So what is black magic and white magic? Or for example, the Patronus Charm, an extremely standard white magic, white magic in every sense. Unleashing this magic requires the wizard to infuse himself with the emotions of joy, happiness, and a little more advanced is to inject the firm will to protect. The Death Seeker, an absolute black magic, requires the caster’s desire to kill, which is why the Death Seeking Charm has become the three unforgivable curses – wizards who often use the Death Seeking Charm will gradually lose themselves, and people who are always in the mood of wanting to kill are not normal people.

Human emotions can be divided into positive emotions and negative emotions. Like joy, joy, joy, calm, happiness, etc., these are positive emotions. Things like disgust, hatred, fear, jealousy, greed, despair, etc. are all negative emotions. Wizards use these emotions to release certain magic that requires them. This is the so-called white magic and black magic.

Magic like the Disarming Charm and the Cleansing Charm you say you want emotions, this is more neutral magic. Many of the black magic lists included in the Ministry of Magic are such magic. For example, the fire spell, this magic does not involve emotions, but the power of this magic is really a bit large, and it is not easy to control, and it is easy to cause a lot of human and property damage. Another example is the Corrosion Charm, which can cause extremely serious damage to the human body. In the important parts of the human body, such as the head, upper body, if not properly handled in a very short time, it is very likely to be fatal. In the eyes of most wizards, powerful magic such as the Fire Charm and the Corrosion Charm are all black magic.

“How? Is it less resistant to black magic? Solim said to the three who were still digesting the information.

“This is black magic?” Hermione asked Solim incredulously that the definition of dark arts in the books she had read was evil, depraved, and unforgivable magic. In Solim’s mouth, dark magic was completely different from what was said in these books, which made Hermione, who had always believed in books, a little confused for a while.

“Black magic is not necessarily evil, but evil must be black magic.” Solim believes that vigilance against black magic is necessary.

“Spells like the Death Seeker, the Heart Drill Charm, and some magic that has some subtle effect on the caster is best used sparingly.” Solim warned the trio, especially to Draco, and to some pureblood children, the Dark Arts attracted them what a chicken leg attracted to Ron.

“Even the Fire Spell and the Corrosion Curse are not black magic?” Hermione was a little incredulous, in many of the books she had read about magic, the Dark Arts would be mentioned, and when it came to Dark Arts, in addition to the Unforgivable Charm, the Fire Charm and the Corrosion Charm appeared the most. In Solim’s case, these two magics that most wizards consider black magic are not black magic.

Seeing that Hermione couldn’t turn around for a while, Solim smacked his lips, once cognition was formed, it was difficult to correct. This is also human nature.

“Okay, then I’ll give you an example.” Solim took out his wand with his left hand and pointed it at Neville: “Faint!” ”

Neville spread out on the chair without suspense, and then slid down from the chair.

“Oh my God, what are you doing!” Hermione was taken aback.

“Recover quickly!” Neville lay on the ground and didn’t understand what was happening.

“Coma Charm, Hermione, do you think the Coma Charm is dark magic?” Solim walked over and helped Neville to a chair and sat down.

Seeing that Neville was okay, Hermione looked at Solim again, and then shook her head, she didn’t think that the Coma Charm was black magic, after all, this magic was too popular, many students would use it.

“Then you have to sit tight.” Solim sat down in his place again. “According to the Ministry’s definition of black magic, the coma charm is a black magic.”

Now it was not only Hermione, but even Neville, who had just slowed down, and Draco on the side looked at Solim with wide eyes and incredulity.

“Don’t look at me like that.” Waving his hand, Solim looked helpless. “According to the regulations of the Ministry of Magic, all magic aimed at the soul belongs to the category of black magic, not only the coma spell, but also the Spirit Seeker, the Joy Charm, the Calm Charm, the Forgotten Charm, etc. all belong to black magic.”

“Aimed at … Soul? “The three little wizards looked at each other.” Coma Curse… Against the soul?! ”

Solim looked at the reaction of the three with amusement and began to explain.

Wanting to cause a person’s coma can be achieved by a variety of means. You take a brick to stun is also dizzy, hungry him for three days without eating, hungry faint is also dizzy, if you have the ability, you can also faint people. This can be achieved even through some Muggle chemicals. However, these are physical, and magic is much simpler, just for the soul of the target. A weakened, simplified soul shock can achieve the goal.

The human soul is like water in a cup, the norm should be calm, and all kinds of magic for the soul is to find ways to make the water in the cup no longer calm. Like the Death Spell, it is to simply dump the water. Some of the curses against the soul are to boil water, and slowly the water in the cup boils dry. And the coma curse is just shaking the cup and making the water in the cup shake.

“These inner things are related to the root, the origin of magic, that is, the magic pattern. This is not the knowledge that you can access now, there are electives like Niven in the third year, if you are interested, you will be able to do it at that time. Solim yawned.

After basically popularizing black magic, Hermione was still not satisfied.

“What about the dark wizard? The book says that those who use black magic are dark wizards. Hermione’s thirst for knowledge had always been something Solim appreciated.

It does not mean that those who use black magic are black wizards, and those who do not use black magic are not dark wizards. Do you say Dumbledore can do dark magic? A great wizard can’t do black magic, what are you kidding? If you want to reach the level of a great wizard, contact with black magic is inevitable, and you can’t become a great wizard without contact, learning, or understanding black magic. So is Dumbledore a dark wizard? Apparently not. The difference between a black wizard and a white wizard is not in what magic they use, but in the means by which they act.

Again, for example, a white wizard and a black wizard need to know something from a person’s mouth. White wizards will use devotion or other gentle methods to achieve their goals. And the black wizard is different, the simplest is the soul reaper curse, a soul reaper curse up and everything is solved. If the Soul Reaper Curse is not convenient to use, then the Truth Spitting Curse is also possible, even if you are reluctant to vomit the Truth Agent, you can use the Drill Heart Charm after subduing the other party. From here, you can see the biggest difference between white wizards and black wizards. One acts gently and leaves room for it, and the other acts ruthlessly and unscrupulously.

“By this standard, the Aurors at the Ministry of Magic are all dark wizards, but are they bad people?” Without waiting for the three to answer, Solim continued: “The means of acting do not distinguish between good and bad wizards, and it is very naïve to think that white wizards are good and black wizards are bad. ”

“Solim, do you know all this knowledge by reading books?” Hermione knew that Solim’s big box contained a full row of books, many of which were not found on the market.

“I think Neville can tell you about that.” Solim stood up and looked at Neville, who had been silent since he entered, and raised his chin to signal that Neville could talk to Hermione. “I’ll go out first to solve personal problems and wait until I get back. You, too, Draco, since you’re determined to change, start today. ”

“Need help?” Hermione said enthusiastically.

Solim almost broke his foot when he heard this. “I mean I’m going to the bathroom!”

(⊙﹏⊙)

Hermione blushed.

When Solim left, Draco and Hermione looked at Neville in unison, waiting for him to say something.

Taking a deep breath and stabilizing his emotions, Neville spoke, “I heard my uncle talk about Solim, and I have an uncle who teaches at that school. ”

“Ho, Longbottom, you actually have an uncle teaching at Sgulle?” Draco was interested, “Teach what?” ”

“It seems to be history, and I don’t see him very much.” Don’t look at the Longbottom family’s generation, Neville is a single seedling, but his uncle can go more, but he just hasn’t had children yet.

“Don’t make a fuss, let Neville continue.” Hermione yelled at Draco, “What is Sgulle? ”

Draco pouted and said angrily, “Sgulle is a magic school, only qualified people can go. ”

“How come I’ve never heard of it? There is also no mention in the book that there is such a school, there are three major magical schools in Europe, I know, Durmstrang in the country of Dé, Beauxbatons in France, Hogwarts in the country of Ying, where is this Sgulle? And what are the qualifications you say? Hermione was talking endlessly. In this way, she is excited whenever she encounters something new.

“I didn’t go to school there, how do I know!” It was the first time Draco had seen Hermione in a state of excitement.

“I know, my grandma and uncle told me.” Hermione and Draco quickly looked at Neville and gestured with their gazes for him to continue.

“Only young wizards who completed a mana riot before their seventh birthday are eligible, and must be a family like Selwyn to send their children in.” Neville swallowed and told the two of them everything he had learned about Sgulle from his grandmother and uncle, as well as Solim.
