Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 58 The Evolution of Black Magic

Tierra sat down next to Harry.

Even Ron stopped eating and stared blankly at Tiera.

Ron felt that Tiera seemed different; she was more imposing and more eager to submit to others than before.

"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me?" Tiera asked after sitting down.

"Oh, no, nothing." Perhaps it was because of the festive Christmas atmosphere in the Great Hall, Harry's face flushed slightly, like a ripe apple.

Tierra smiled at him again, picked up her fork, and took a piece of roast meat from the plate in the middle of the table.

Tierra knew why.

To gain his trust, Voldemort, with his last remaining magic, cast a love charm on Tyrell in the notebook, and Voldemort has now fallen back into a deep sleep.

The Love Charm is a high-level spell, but its effect is not significant, far less than that of a love potion. It only makes Tierra more popular, and any sane adult wizard can easily break free from its influence.

However, it was very effective among young wizards.

Tyella noticed that besides Harry and Ron, he attracted the attention of many young wizards when he entered.

Among them were quite a few little witches.

There was also an extremely cold and sinister gaze.

But the gaze quickly shifted away after sweeping over Tiera.

Tierra knew that the gaze came from the faculty seat, from the ever-timid Professor Quirrell.

Voldemort's little scheme was in full swing.

He believes that no matter how gifted or hardworking a child is at this age, their most fundamental need is to gain the recognition and admiration of other young wizards.

So Voldemort simply put a love charm on Tyrell.

Once Tyrell becomes addicted to this life of being adored and pampered, and can no longer be separated from her notebook, Voldemort will begin to slowly erode Tyrell's magical life and soul.

This is a very, very evil magic. Tyella doesn't know if Voldemort also saw it in "The Secrets of Black Magic".

The moment Tiera was having her magic absorbed, she suddenly felt that the spell was strangely familiar.

Perhaps the author of "Unveiling the Secrets of Cutting-Edge Black Magic" has also read "The Necronomicon".

Because in the Necronomicon's Dark Magic chapter, Tiera saw an almost identical spell called Dark Magic Evolution.

If you don't want your soul to be split, but you still want to maintain a vigorous state of dark magic at all times.

You can then combine the spiritual and intellectual dimensions of others with your own soul dimension to jointly complete the evolution of your spiritual dimension into dark magic power.
The advantage of this method is that the dark magic power generated in this way will not have any effect on one's soul dimension.

In other words, you will not become mentally unstable or undergo a drastic change in personality due to the use of dark magic.

You can even maintain the integrity of your spiritual dimension through special rituals.

In other words, you can use black magic as well as the Guardian Charm.

However, the change in spiritual dimension may cause your guardian spirit to mutate.

It may mutate into some kind of magical animal, or it may become an image combining two different animals.

You don't need to go through the pain of having your soul devoured, nor do you need to perform cruel rituals.

However, the flaws in the evolution of black magic are also quite obvious.

First, devouring, or rather merging, another person's spiritual and mental dimensions, if done according to the procedure, will indeed not affect one's own mental dimension, but will confine all reactions and changes to one's own spiritual dimension.

However, this also means that you can only merge one person's spiritual and mental dimensions. Because if you merge another person's mental dimension, it is easy for the two different mental states to clash, which in turn leads to the collapse of dark magic power, that is, the spiritual dimension.

In other words, this fusion can only be used once in most cases.

Secondly, there is the person being merged. If the spiritual power of the person being merged is too weak, it is impossible for the spiritual dimension to undergo a qualitative change and become black magic power.

This spiritual power refers not only to the intensity of the spiritual dimension, but also to the extreme emotion that comes with being integrated.

In general, it is extreme hatred or murderous intent.

Of course, in very rare cases, it would be the ultimate expression of love.

This cannot be achieved with love potions; that's just a strong sense of infatuation, not love.

Knowing that Voldemort might be using a form of dark magic, Tyrell guessed that in the original story, Malfoy stuffing the diary into Ginny Weasley's cauldron was really just a lucky guess.

In the original story, the diary's resurrection through Ginny Weasley could not possibly have been motivated by absolute hatred or murderous intent.

That could only mean extremely strong love.

It must be from the diary that Voldemort, during his student days, successfully charmed Ginny Weasley with his silver tongue and portrayed the final resurrection ceremony as a heroic act of sacrificing himself for love.

Perhaps... perhaps from the very beginning, from releasing the Basilisk to holding the Voldemort resurrection ceremony, all of this was entirely of Ginny Weasley's own free will.

Thinking of this, Tiera couldn't help but shudder.

At the same time, I decided that I must be extremely careful in my interactions with the diary from now on.

This diary was an opportunity for him, but it was also a ticking time bomb lurking nearby.

To ensure the purity of his love, Voldemort likely did not use any magic when seducing Ginny Weasley; he simply used a diary to trick the young witch into willingly offering herself to him.

This Voldemort... he's a real master of manipulation.

Tierra tucked the diary inside her wizard's robe.

Voldemort was found to be still asleep.

Because Tierra has a mental barrier, she is not afraid of Voldemort's Legilimency.

In other words, Voldemort's hearing, seeing, and feeling were all limited to what Tyrell provided.

Furthermore, with Tyrell's extraordinary control as a minor wizard, he could decide the amount of magic he channeled into Voldemort.

This also limited Voldemort's ability to recover to some extent.

These two points are his advantages, and Tiera should make good use of them. At least for now, this diary is not too terrible.

Moreover, if Voldemort wants to be resurrected, he will most likely have to follow the original storyline.

After all, a minor wizard, no matter how unpopular or ostracized, cannot possibly generate enough emotional power to satisfy the evolution of dark magic.

Therefore, Voldemort will still try to use the power of love.

This might also be an attempt or an experiment by Voldemort.

After all, judging from the fact that in the fourth book, the blood of his resurrected enemy had to be Harry's blood, he had always wanted to understand and master what exactly was the power of Lily Potter that could deflect his Death Curse.

My darlings, I'm so sorry for the late update today. My roommate dragged me hiking today, and as soon as I got back to the dorm around 9:00, I rushed to write this. I managed to post it before midnight.

Happy reading!
