The Magical Principles of Natural Philosophy at Hogwarts

After the amount of reading gradually increased, Erwin gradually gained his own understanding of black magic.

The standard for distinguishing between black magic and white magic mainly depends on the mentality when casting the spell and the effect of the spell itself. It is generally believed that magic that needs to be clearly driven by evil thoughts and can cause a certain degree of lethality is black magic.

The so-called erosion of xinxing by black magic can be understood as the frequent use of black magic and always have evil thoughts about the surrounding environment, eventually forming an anti-social personality.

But this does not mean that black magic should be completely abandoned, or simply that there is no reason to oppose all black magic itself is a stupid and naive idea.

Because the world itself is not a harmonious and beautiful world.

Since the emergence of life on this planet, the most important relationship between biological individuals is the relationship of competition. The strong prey on the weak, eat and be eaten, and malice is everywhere.

In essence, a society composed of groups and civilized creatures can be understood as the newspaper groups of vulnerable individuals to keep warm. When human beings gather to build a society, many disputes and contradictions will inevitably arise during this period. Therefore, it is necessary to determine moral standards and laws. It is building order, and the core driving force for human beings to do so is survival needs. A society that can be called a system is enough to guarantee the survival needs of most individuals.

The early human wizards were persecuted by Muggles, so they took the initiative to unite to form a wizarding society with the Ministry of Magic as the political body. The same is true.

Individuals themselves benefit from order, so they will take the initiative to maintain order. The order mentioned here has nothing to do with social nature or political system, but refers to an order that allows individuals to depend on each other and live together. The core pursuit of life is to survive. Order is the integration and extension of this core pursuit.

This leads to the concept of justice and evil, good and bad.

Justice means maintaining order, while evil means trampling and destroying order.

Therefore, order breeds justice.

The reason why Dumbledore is great is that with his strength, he does not need to obey order at all, but he is the defender of order.

Order is actually an abnormal state, and chaos and disputes are the foundation of this world.

Going back to black magic itself, the analogy with ordinary humans and conventional society can be seen as similar to the control of knives and guns, as well as weapons with greater lethality and a wider range of damage.

Is it necessary to destroy all weapons for the sake of love and peace?People who have this kind of thinking are undoubtedly too naive.

Because conflict and struggle will never go away, when a gun is pointed at your head, do you still open your arms and say to your enemies: "Let there be love, not war"?

In the case of the same level of magic power, black magic is more lethal than white magic.When the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic were fighting the Dark Wizard, did they just use the Disarming Curse, the Stunning Curse, the Petrification Curse to fight Avada Kedavra?What kind of exaggerated battle loss ratio will this lead to?

After all, there is an essential difference between control spells and killing curses. Once the intensity of the conflict rises to the level of war, it is necessary to seek more efficient means of destroying the enemy's vital forces.

Exposure to and learning black magic is not tantamount to resignation, and there is no need to shy away from black magic like a snake.

Only by knowing enough about black magic can one counter black magic, or even use black magic to fight against black magic.

Of course, just like lethal weapons should be regulated in conventional society, the spread of black magic should be strictly limited, of course, the premise is that the Ministry of Magic, as a government organization, has sufficient ability to maintain order.

Of course, Riddle took the initiative to talk about black magic with Erwin not to convey correct values ​​to him, but just to deceive his trust and slander Dumbledore by the way.

"Black magic is very powerful, much stronger than those ordinary magic, so those in high positions will restrict its spread, so that only they can master powerful magic, and no one can threaten their rule." Line by line written on the parchment.

Is this planting the seeds of doubt?Erwin stood with his hands behind his back, waiting with great interest to see what other, more exciting words Riddle had to say.

"Don't be fooled by their appearance, Harry, don't believe their lies, only your own power is the most reliable..."

Erwin pretended to be shaken, and wrote in his diary: "But I have never tried to learn black magic before..."

"Don't worry, you are very talented. Those sanctimonious professors in this school will only suppress the really talented students and favor mediocrity. Believe me, your talent is far beyond your imagination. But you can't directly learn the Curse of Fatigue , you have to take it step by step, learn the most basic curse first, and then learn more after mastering it.”

More letters appeared on the diary, and even a small piece of magic text, "This is the essentials of using the curse of pain. This curse can make the target feel a certain degree of pain every once in a while. It is the most basic curse. There is no Pre-learning conditions." Riddle said.

It took Erwin half a minute to roughly read it, and felt that this guy was quite talented as a teacher. He explained all the main points and precautions of this curse clearly in just one page.

For spells of the same level, it takes three times as long in the textbook.

The basic curse of pain can only cause pain, and will not cause substantial damage, but its effect is not on the body, but on the soul.

There is an essential difference.

That is to say, it can actually be regarded as the entire curse system, and even the introductory curse of intermediate and advanced black magic. After all, the three unforgivable curses that are considered to be top-level black magic are also related to the soul.

"It will only cause pain. I don't think you will have any psychological burden when you study."

"But even if I want to study, there is no one to contact." Erwin wrote.

This is a question he really wants to ask, even if it uses animals as the object of practice, it is definitely not in line with the tone of "love and peace".

Not to mention finding some kind of animal to practice black magic at Hogwarts... Is it true that Hagrid is blind?

"Don't worry, you can use me as a practice object, so that it will be secret enough, and you will not be easily discovered by others that you are practicing black magic."

"You?" Erwin found it quite interesting.

"That's right, what is stored in this diary is my memories before the age of 16, and it is also a part of my soul... That is to say, all spells that target the soul can be released on me."

Yes, that means Avada Kedavra can also be used on you.

"This...isn't very good," Erwin perfectly behaved as an innocent and ignorant little boy should. "If you are just a remnant soul, wouldn't the curse cause serious harm to you?"

It took a while for the words to reappear in the diary, and it seemed that Riddle was also surprised by the boy's "simpleness".

"Don't worry about me, there is basically no magic that can hurt me, and this low-level curse is even less likely to cause any damage to me, and with me as the target, I can accurately feel your mastery of the curse, and then give you Give pointers."

So this is his ultimate goal?Erwin touched his chin, could it be that this diary can absorb the spell and replenish the soul in it.

"Come on, if you really want to improve your strength, then don't hesitate and hesitate, under my guidance, you will learn more than just how to deal with a house elf."

Erwin thought for a while, and felt that he could still play with Riddle for a while.

The tutorial on the diary is very detailed, and with Erwin's understanding ability, he can easily master it. He pointed his wand at the diary and cast the spell.

Nothing seems to happen.

The words appeared again in the diary, "Very well, although the basic curse of pain is not difficult, but if you can master it once, it means that you are a genius, just like me. Now let's practice the second curse magic, fear curse……"

"Are you sure I only need to practice once? Shouldn't I practice a few more times to make sure I've mastered it?" Erwin looked incredible.

"You don't need to do any extra training, we..." Riddle was very eager.

"I'm sorry that I can't agree with your statement. Even if my talent is outstanding, I still think that I must learn step by step in a down-to-earth manner." Erwin quickly wrote these words, and then closed the diary with a snap.

It is necessary to disrupt this guy's rhythm. Of course, Erwin will not forget that he is the active side, and there is no need to be led by the nose by Riddle.

After closing the diary, this guy couldn't even convey information to the outside world. Obviously, he should be begging Erwin, not Erwin obediently listening to his arrangements.

To deal with such characters, one must maintain a clear understanding at all times.

It is enough to learn one black magic at a time. Erwin's schedule is very full and he doesn't have much spare time, and he doesn't have too much desire for Riddle's so-called power, because black magic is just power Just one of them.

Just what they are currently doing is the research and development of new rune guns and the ring of strong reprimand, as well as the deployment of specialized red dragon blood potions.

Oh, by the way, that half-wrecked Ford Anglia, it's time to get rid of it.
