The Hogwarts book was originally kept in the restricted section of the library.
The specific origin and when it was collected in Hogwarts have not been investigated, but it is indeed the only known copy of "Secrets of Advanced Dark Arts".
Ivan did not expect that there would be this book in the Black family collection. This is simply the biggest gain after destroying Voldemort's Horcrux today.
He has long wanted to read this book, hoping to learn more about Horcruxes from it.
But the one kept at Hogwarts has been removed from the library by Dumbledore and hidden, and it cannot be found at all.
Although this book had been placed in the library in a special area along with other precious magic books before this, it is unknown where it is now.
Ai Wen once saw the name of this book in the library catalogue, followed by small red letters: Warning, this book is extremely dangerous! If you want to borrow, in addition to sufficient reasons, you also need the principal's personal approval.
In Ivan's view, this is almost impossible.
The previous headmasters of Hogwarts were all knowledgeable and powerful wizards. They knew how to measure, and it was impossible for a young wizard to read such books that recorded the most evil black magic for no reason.
Unless their heads are broken, or under the Imperius Curse.
The library borrowing records also prove this. Before Dumbledore hid it, the book sat there quietly for centuries, except for a few professors, no student activity at all. over it. In fact, most young wizards don't even know that there is such a black magic book in the library.
This status quo continued until more than fifty years ago, when Voldemort, a student, Tom Riddle successfully borrowed this book from the library.
Ai Wen didn't know how he did this, and he didn't know whether it was a coincidence that he borrowed the book in the first place, or whether he had already obtained relevant clues.
But there is no doubt that Voldemort obtained the detailed Horcrux production method from this book, and he believed that this black magic could help him obtain the eternal life he dreamed of.
From the information Ivan has, after knowing how to make a Horcrux and confirming several key issues, Voldemort immediately began to experiment. He split his soul by killing and became a monster that would never die.
This is also the main reason why Dumbledore has been unable to defeat Voldemort. In the state of full magic power, he may be able to defeat Voldemort, but he cannot kill him.
All efforts are futile until all Horcruxes are destroyed.
What's more, Dumbledore's power is weakening with age, while Voldemort's power is growing day by day.
Dumbledore obviously also noticed the relevant signs of abnormality, and he must have guessed in his heart, although he couldn't be sure until he saw Tom Riddle's diary last year.
But after becoming principal, he still removed the book from the restricted section.
The reason for this is that in addition to preventing a second Voldemort from appearing just in case, the content of this book is really not suitable for young wizards to read.
You must know that as the top black magic book, "Secrets of Advanced Black Magic" records many extremely evil taboo black magic, Horcrux is just one of them, and it may not even be the most evil.
Ai Wen gently rubbed the book in his hand, determined to open it, and the withered, crisp pages made sparse and unpleasant sounds.
The first black magic introduced in "Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" is Horcruxes. At the top of the page is a portrait of a man with a grim and distorted expression. His soul is being separated. He seems to be suffering great pain, but There was a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth.
It can be seen that due to being flipped for a long time, compared with the later pages, the dozens of pages recording the Horcruxes are full of marks and traces of being used. Regulus must have read this book many times, and it was from here that he looked for clues to deduce that the locket that Voldemort hid in the cave was a Horcrux.
Ivan flipped through it roughly, and the content of the book was very detailed.
The above introduces the Horcrux, the source, principle and production method of this black magic, etc., and there are many test records, as well as the points that need to be paid attention to in each step.
The more Ivan read it, the more terrifying he felt. The content of this book has surpassed the scope of "general evil".
The first step in making a horcrux is to split the soul, and split the soul by killing or other evil forces.
Then, through a series of very complicated steps, the split soul is separated from the main soul.
According to the notes at the bottom of the book, Aiwen knew that although killing is the easiest way to split the soul, it does not mean that the soul can be split once with one murder.
The power needed to split the soul is very powerful, and this power comes from evil and cruel things. The key is not killing, but whether it is evil enough.
Therefore, splitting the soul through killing is not just a simple murder.
Specifically, it depends on whether the method of murder is evil enough, whether it is cruel enough, and whether the soul of the caster is evil enough. The whole process is very harsh. As the number of soul splits increases, the degree of evil and difficulty required also increase linearly.
Most dark wizards can split their souls once, which is already the limit.
No wizard can split his body into more than two parts and create more than one Horcrux. The pain is enough to make the caster collapse.
Moreover, splitting the soul will make the main soul very unstable.
Like Voldemort, splitting his soul multiple times and successfully making multiple Horcruxes, in Ivan's view, it is simply impossible.
After the soul is separated, the next step is to select a suitable Horcrux and infuse the soul into it.
Any item can be made into a horcrux, but along with the transfer of the soul, an extremely powerful spell is required to protect the horcrux, as well as enough magic power to support the completion of the entire transfer process. This means that even if a dark wizard is evil enough to split his soul, he cannot successfully create a Horcrux without strong enough support.
The book specifically emphasizes that dark wizards must properly protect their Horcruxes.
The damage to the Horcrux will definitely affect the main soul, making the already extremely unstable main soul even more fragmented.
The most direct consequence is to make the black wizard lose his mind and gradually go crazy.
And his power will not be affected, on the contrary, because the soul has become evil enough, it will be more handy in using black magic.
Until the end, the dark wizard whose Horcrux is destroyed will be swallowed by the dark power and become a monster who only knows to kill. (.)
