Chapter 41 The Torn Soul

[I think this is a very feasible idea. 】

[The healing of the soul can completely imitate the healing of the body, so that the torn parts are closely connected, which will speed up the recovery. 】

[But there is a very real problem in front of me. After all, the soul is a conceptual body of nothingness. Even the ghost of the dead cannot appear in the world as a physical existence, let alone the soul of the living. 】

After writing this, Sherlock feels that this book is more like a wizard's experimental diary.

The author encountered trouble in how to deal with the soul, and most of the following pages are her experiments on various forms that can affect the soul.

Finally found a suitable "sewing needle".

A spell that can target the caster's own soul. It can penetrate the soul without damaging the soul, so as to achieve the effect of mending.

Although the process of finding a suitable "needle" is somewhat complicated, it is not too difficult. After all, there are so many ancient magics that target the soul, and even the highest attainments in black magic, the effects of the three unforgivable curses are all aimed at the soul. of.

There are many things that can be learned from.

What really hinders the research of the author of this book is the choice of "line".

Different from the "needle", the function of the "needle" is only to carry the "thread" to penetrate, and the "thread" is responsible for tightening the torn soul, and while the soul is healing, it is perfectly integrated with the soul into a whole.

The author's first thought was to use other souls as "threads" for sewing.

It is also the soul, this kind of adaptability is the highest, and at the same time, it can perfectly integrate with the wound in the end.

After all, the suturing operation of the soul is still different from the normal suturing operation. As long as the "thread" is sewn in, there is no way to dismantle it again.

But how can a complete soul be used as a "thread"?

Regardless of whether this involves morality, the size of a normal soul of a living person alone cannot be used as a thin but strong "thread" to sew up a torn and weak soul.

So all the research has come to a dead end here.

The author has overcome all other difficulties and technical problems, and even used a dementor as an experimental subject. As long as she can find a suitable "thread", her idea can be perfectly realized.

Even if the soul is torn, it can be easily healed by this method.

But the "line" requirements are too harsh.

First of all, the "thread" must also be a soul, and secondly, this soul cannot be complete, and it is better to be split into one of countless parts.

It is very difficult to meet this condition.

After all, a wizard's soul is not a piece of rag, and if you want to tear off a piece, you can tear off a piece.

The author of this book has never heard of any kind of magic in the magic world that can split the soul without dying.

At the end of the book, this magic experiment just came to nothing.

But this amazing and talented witch who could think of such a way to heal her split soul felt very sorry for this magic that could not be perfected in the end.

I recorded in this book the steps from the idea of ​​creating this magic in my mind, to perfecting it step by step, until the final step of the magic experiment.

If this is passed down, there may be a better solution to replace this "line" in the magic advancement of later generations.

Until I don't know why, this book was put into the restricted section of the Hogwarts library, and now Sherlock took it again.

The method of stitching the soul recorded in the book will not be mentioned for the time being.

Just looking at the author of this book, he recorded all kinds of life in his experimental notes, and the mark on his left arm guided him to find this book.

Sherlock has sufficient evidence to suspect that the witch who created this book is the original owner's lunatic mother!

Because the imprint on his left arm is most likely from the original owner's mother, and Sherlock discovered an obvious detail in the narration of this book.

The witch's teacher is a potion master who is proficient in many potion making methods, or in other words, is extremely proficient in potions.

The teacher who was closest to the mother of the original owner was Horag Slughorn, who once served as the head of Slytherin at Hogwarts and also served as the professor of potions at that time!
These two strange coincidences that can be brought together are no coincidence.

There is a great possibility that the witch who wrote this experiment log is the mother of the original owner—Sally Forrest.

But judging from her self-report in the book, it is completely impossible to see that she is a bit crazy like the portrait hanging in the original owner's study.

On the contrary, she is a witch full of wisdom, good at exploring and extremely rational.

The image contrast between the two was too great, which made Sherlock shake his guess a bit.

Or there were other things that he didn't know happened that made the original owner's mother turn from a charismatic witch to a crazy woman?

For example, at the end of this book, the magic experiment was not successful, which caused her soul to not be repaired, and finally deteriorated, and then it became like that?

Sherlock has too little evidence now, and he has no way to restore the previous history.

The most important thing that should give him a headache now is why the crescent moon imprint allowed him to get this experiment log.

In fact, in Sherlock's heart, he already had an answer that he was not willing to face.

His own soul may have been torn apart like the original owner's mother in the experiment log!
But at the beginning of the book, it is said that the tearing of the soul will make it impossible for the wizard to use a normal level of magic.

From Sherlock's familiarity with magic to the present, he has never felt that his spell is weaker than others, and it does not seem to be a phenomenon caused by trauma to the soul.

He looked at the page in the "Soul Stitching" in his hand that taught how to test the magic of his soul's soundness, hesitated for a moment, and finally carried out a test of his soul according to the method in the book.

The result was as expected.

His soul is not whole, has severe splits!
Sherlock stood up from his chair, frowning and paced back and forth in the office.

He didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, but the tearing of the soul didn't have any effect on him, the spell didn't appear to be weaker than other wizards, and he never felt any discomfort in his body.

So, why, and when was his soul torn apart?
He couldn't think of an answer, and even if he did, it wouldn't help.

Looking at the book "Soul Stitching", Sherlock shook his head and said softly.

"You can't find the right thread, how can I find it?"
