Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 200 Soul Making Methods

Hogwarts book, originally collected in the library's restricted book area.

The exact origin and timing of the collection to Hogwarts is beyond consideration, but it is indeed the only known preserve of the Cutting-Edge Dark Magic Unveiling.

Evan didn't expect this book to be part of the Blake Family Collection, which is the biggest gain since the destruction of Voldemort today.

He has long wanted to read this book and would like to learn more about the Horcrux.

But the collection in Hogwarts has been removed from the library by Dumbledore and cannot be found at all.

Until then, the book had been placed in the library, along with other precious magic books, in special areas, but now it is not known where.

Ivan once saw the book's name in the library catalogue, followed by a small red lettering: WARNING, it is extremely dangerous! For borrowing, the principal's handwritten approval is required in addition to a good reason.

In Ivan's view, this is almost impossible.

Successive Hogwarts principals are knowledgeable and powerful wizards who know the scale and cannot, for no reason, consent to a little wizard reading all of the most wicked black magic books ever recorded.

Unless they have a broken head or a soul-snatching spell.

This is also borrowed from the library records, which were kept quietly there for centuries before Dumbledore concealed it, and none of the students touched it, except a handful of professors. In fact, the vast majority of little wizards do not even know that there is such a dark magic book in the library.

This status quo continued more than fifty years ago, as a student Voldemort, Tom Riddle successfully borrowed the book from the library.

Ivan doesn't know how he did it, or if it was a coincidence that he borrowed the book, or if he's already got clues.

But there is no doubt that Voldemort has obtained from this book a detailed method of making the Horcrux, and he believes that this black magic can help him to attain the immortality of his dreams.

From the information Ivan had, knowing how to make a Horcrux and identifying a few key issues, Voldemort immediately began to experiment, relying on killing to divide his soul and become a monster that would never die.

This is also the main reason why Dumbledore has been unable to defeat Voldemort. In a state of full magic, he may be able to defeat Voldemort, but he cannot kill each other.

Until all sorcerers are destroyed, any effort will be in vain.

Moreover, Dumbledore's power is diminishing with age, whereas Voldemort's power is increasing daily.

Dumbledore also apparently noticed signs of related anomalies, and he must have some speculation in his mind, although he could not be definitively accurate until he saw Tom Riddle's diary last year.

However, after becoming principal, he removed the book from the restricted study area.

The reason for this is that, in addition to preventing the emergence of a second Voldemort in case, the contents of this book are not suitable for the little wizards to see.

You know, as one of the most advanced dark magic books, "Uncovering the Secrets of Cutting-Edge Dark Magic" records many extreme evil taboos on dark magic, and the Horcrux is just one of them, and probably not the most evil.

Evan gently stroked the book in his hand, determined to flip it open, and the yellow, crisp pages made a rare, sparse and unpleasant sound.

The first black magic introduced in "Uncovering the Secrets of the Cutting-Edge Dark Magic" was the Horcrux. At the top of the book is a face-to-face, distorted portrait of the character. His soul is being separated. He seems to be suffering greatly, but his mouth is brutally smiled.

As you can see, the dozens of book pages that record the Horcrux are marked and read everywhere, compared to the pages that follow because they have been flipped for a long time. Regulus must have read this book many times, and he was looking for traces of the spider silk horse from here to deduce that Voldemort's pendant box hidden in the cave was a soul tool.

Ivan looked over, and the book was very detailed.

It describes the Horcrux, the origin of this dark magic, how it works, how it's made, and so on, as well as a lot of experimental records, and what needs attention at every step of the way.

The more scary Ivan reads, the more this book is beyond “ordinary evil”.

The first step in creating a soul is to split the soul, relying on killing or other evil forces to split the soul.

Then, through a series of very complex steps, divided souls are separated from the Lord's soul.

According to the notation below, Evan only learned that, while killing is the easiest way to divide the soul, it does not mean that a murder can be committed and the soul can be divided once.

The power needed to divide the soul is very powerful, and the source of that power is evil and cruelty. The key is not killing, but whether it is evil enough.

So splitting your soul through killing is not a simple murder.

It also depends on whether the method of murder is evil enough, cruel enough, and whether the soul of the spellmaker is evil enough. The whole process is very demanding, and as the number of spiritual divisions increases, so does the degree of evil and difficulty required.

Most black wizards can divide their souls once, which is already the limit.

No wizard can divide himself into more than two parts, creating more than one soul tool, and that pain is enough for the spell to run away on its own.

Moreover, the division of the soul can destabilize the soul.

Like Voldemort, splitting his soul multiple times and successfully building multiple artifacts is simply impossible for Evan.

Once the soul is separated, the next step is to select the right tool and inject the soul into it.

Anything can be made into a Horcrux, but with the transfer of the soul, you also need an extremely powerful spell to protect your Horcrux and enough magic to support the completion of the entire transfer process. This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to divide his soul, he cannot succeed in producing a soul without strong enough support.

In particular, the book emphasizes that black wizards must properly protect their own soul tools.

Damage to the Horcrux will inevitably affect the soul and further fragment the already extremely unstable soul.

The most immediate consequence is to make black wizards lose their minds and become insane.

And his power is not affected, quite the opposite, because the soul has become evil enough to be more comfortable with the use of black magic.

Until the end, the demolished dark wizard will be swallowed up by dark forces and become a monster who knows only to kill.
