A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 50 Black Magic and White Magic

According to the division of magic by wizards, the Patronus Charm is undoubtedly white magic, or the kind of white magic with very strict requirements.It is an ancient and profound magic, notoriously difficult to perform.

It requires the wizard to concentrate on recalling the happiest things in his heart. The shape of the summoned patron saint is the symbol of the wizard's heart, representing hope, happiness and the desire to live. It is a positive force that can be used to resist and expel dementors. and Voldebat.

However, as an absolutely bright white magic, the Patronus Charm cannot be mastered by those dark wizards whose hearts and souls have been corrupted by black magic. Forcibly using it may even cause terrible backlash.

There are not so few wizards in this world who know how to use the Patronus Charm, but the one opposite Owen definitely can't use it, and doesn't bother to use it at all.

So what exactly does Voldemort mean?It can't be just to amuse him, right?

"Professor, I just mentioned it casually at the time. This spell does not belong to the scope of the oath." Owen said calmly.

"I think it would be a good idea to start with the Patronus Charm," said Voldemort lazily.

"Since this is your opinion..." Owen put on a gesture of listening to the lecture.

"You should know the difference between black magic, white magic and ordinary magic, right?" Voldemort looked at him indifferently.

"It lies in the use of emotions." Owen nodded and said in a tone without any ups and downs.

"Ordinary magic, from the most basic lighting spell, to the advanced iron armor spell, illusion spell, etc., they don't require wizards to mobilize their emotions and emotions. As long as you master the basic principles of spells and spell casting methods, you can pass Practice to understand and master them."

"But black and white magic is different. They need the emotions of wizards as the basic driving force. They are not necessarily profound, but the upper limit is beyond ordinary magic. The difference between the two is that black magic requires heartfelt malice and hope. Emotions that hurt others and expect pain. White magic requires positive emotions, emotions that want to save and protect others."

Owen looked into Voldemort's eyes and spoke slowly and clearly.

"Continue." Voldemort said lightly.

Isn't that enough?Owen frowned in his heart, and continued: "Black magic is better at attacking and cursing, and is mostly used to hurt, control, and kill. White magic is not good at fighting, and is usually used to protect, heal, and bless others, so those who specialize in white magic Wizards of magic are mostly healers or potionists."

He paused, and then said carefully: "At the same time, different from ordinary spells, black and white magic that requires subjective emotional participation has a great impact on wizards. Wizards who are immersed in black magic will become more and more... …malicious, and wizards who specialize in white magic are more merciful. But white magic has much less influence on wizards in comparison."

It is easy to understand that when a person is immersed in malice or kindness towards others for a long time, his own character and behavior will inevitably change subtly.

Take black magic as an example, if a person has hatred, resentment or even murderous intent towards an enemy, it is human nature, but if he has such malice towards anyone, it is abnormal or evil.The release of black magic requires the wizard to have evil thoughts from the heart towards the other party. If a normal person has such dark thoughts for a long time, it will be abnormal.

It is precisely because of this that Owen is unwilling to touch black magic at this time.

"Similarly, black magic and white magic are mutually exclusive, and they are two extremes. It is impossible for a wizard to achieve advanced achievements in these two fields at the same time, because they themselves will produce violent conflicts." Owen continued.

In the early stages of studying black magic, you may be able to avoid falling into darkness by learning white magic such as the Patronus Charm, but when the research reaches a high level, the two will only ebb and flow, conflicting and canceling each other, so that Neither can achieve much.

After speaking, Owen glanced at Voldemort.Isn't it a bit wrong to talk to the Dark Lord about the side effects of the dark arts?Whatever it is, Irving treats it as a serious subject anyway.

"According to the script." Voldemort commented succinctly.

"It's just some foolish people's self-righteous gossip." He suddenly smiled coldly, and his voice became a little harsher, "For real people with lofty ideals, everyone knows their problems, but no one will reject them. .Because they represent the pinnacle of magic, and this is the only way to climb to the ultimate achievement."

"Black magic means to plunder, white magic means to give, it's that simple. Smart people will choose to plunder, because it is powerful and comprehensive, unpredictable, indestructible, plundering things to complement themselves. Only fools will choose to give, Let yourself gradually become pedantic and cowardly, and finally lose the courage to resist the cruelty..."

Owen touched his chin thoughtfully, and looked at them regardless of the narrator's subjective emotions: "Do you choose differently because you pursue different things?"

"Throughout the ages, among those wizards who have really stood at the top, there is no one who is not proficient in black magic." Voldemort looked at the closed window with ironic expression, "Even Dumbledore, who claims to be a defender of justice, is also the same. Not exempt... In essence, we are no different..."

Owen pursed his lips. He had already guessed about this, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Of course, there is also a difference, that is, Dumbledore was too cowardly to master the mysteries of black magic, but never dared to use it." He glanced deeply at Owen, his expression became mysterious, " Few people know that black magic has a wonderful property. When you use it on people or intelligent beings, you will get a wonderful feedback in the pain, fear and death of the other party. It will make you and black The magic is more compatible, and it will also make your black magic power stronger..."

"The more powerful you are, the more you use it, and the more you use it, the more powerful you will be. This is the magical charm of black magic that makes people want to stop, and it is also the source of its influence on users." Voldemort said softly in a persuasive tone, "What's wrong with pursuing great power? I know you are pursuing it too, Owen Shafik, and I can feel your ambition. It's just that you are sober and able to rationally distinguish what is good from what is bad..."

"But your narrow knowledge hinders your development, and the opinionated views in those books will only interfere with your judgment. In fact, magic is not good or bad, it only depends on the wizard's choice."

"I know that your doubts are nothing more than being misled by the superficial and ignorant concepts in the book. You are afraid that touching the unknown realm will bring you changes. But what you don't know is that whether you change yourself depends only on the wizard's own will, and Not the magic itself."

Voldemort's soft voice with a hiss at the end was extremely provocative and charming: "The first step to becoming a powerful wizard is to embrace the unknown instead of escaping like a coward. Owen, you already have this qualification, why not What about trying?"

Facing the gaze of the other party who seemed to be able to see through the soul, Owen swallowed, thinking that this was the temptation from the devil.He pinched the palm of his hand hard with his nails, and quickly suppressed the inexplicable desire in his heart.

If he is really an 11-year-old wizard, he is probably already convinced and looking forward to it by now.But Owen has more than 20 years of experience in his previous life. Although he can't find the loopholes in Voldemort's words, he always feels that the other party is like those criminals who tempted people to take drugs in the previous life. It's okay to tell you to try, as long as you are determined, you will be fine. ...

Wow, this has a great sense of sight!Owen resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

Voldemort stared at him deeply for a while, then narrowed his eyes, and said with a cold face: "Now that you have understood the difference between black and white magic and ordinary magic, it's time to return to the issue of the Patronus Charm."

Ending the previous topic suddenly and indifferently, most people must be uneasy at this time, worrying whether they have disappointed or annoyed the other party.But Owen hit the snake with the stick instead, lightly lifted the previous topic, and said seriously: "I'm looking forward to it, professor."
