I’m Only A Defense Against The Dark Arts Professor

Chapter 41: Torn Apart

[I think this is a very good idea.]

[The soul can completely imitate the way that the body heals by itself so that the torn parts are connected, which will speed up the healing.]

[But there is a problem. After all, the soul is a conceptual thing out of nothingness. Even the ghosts cannot appear in the world in the form of a physical being.]

At this point, Sherlock felt that this book was more like a wizard’s experimental diary about how to do things with the soul. The author encountered trouble, and most of the following pages are devoted to her experiments that can affect the soul.

Finally, he found something. A magic spell that can target the caster’s soul and suture the soul without damaging it to achieve the healing effect.

Although the process of finding the right “needle” is a bit complicated, it is not too difficult. After all, there are many ancient magics related to souls. Even the highest attainments in dark magic, like the Three Unforgivable Curses, are all related to the souls.

There are many things to learn from. What really hinders the author’s research in this book is the selection of “thread”.

The function of the “needle” is only to carry out the sewing with the “thread”, and the “thread” is responsible for tightening the torn soul. The author first thought of using other souls as “threads” for stitching it.

If the threads were made from a soul, they would likely have a high chance of success and could be perfectly integrated with the wound. After all, the suture operation of the soul is different from a normal suture operation. As long as the “thread” is sewn in, there is no way to remove it again.

But how can a complete soul be used as a “thread”?

Leaving aside whether this involves morality, the quality of a soul determines whether or not the “thread” would be a good one or not. The author has overcome all other difficulties and technical problems and even used a dementor as an experimental object. As long as he can find a suitable “thread”, her research can be perfectly realized.

When someone’s soul is torn, it can be easily healed by this method. But the “thread” requirements are too much.

First, the “thread” must also be a soul; secondly, this soul cannot be a complete soul, and it would best be split into countless parts. It is difficult to meet this condition. After all, a wizard’s soul is not a piece of cloth where you can just tear a piece of it to your needs.

The author of this book has never heard of what kind of magic exists in the wizarding world that can split the soul. At the end of the book, this magic experiment ended with a dead end. But this amazingly talented witch who could think of such a way to heal her split soul felt sorry for this magic that was not perfected in the end.

She recorded all the steps in this book, from the idea of creating this magic that appeared in her mind to the perfection step by step to the last step of the experiment. If this is passed down, maybe there will be a better alternative to this “thread” in the future.

But he doesn’t know why this book was put into the forbidden area of the Hogwarts library. The method of stitching the soul recorded in the book will be put on hold for the time being.

Looking at the author of this book records all kinds of her life in the notes, and the mark on his arm hints him to find this book. Sherlock suspects that the author who created this book is the original Sherlock’s mother.

The mark on his arm is most likely from the original Sherlock’s mother, and Sherlock found obvious detailed information in this book.

This author’s teacher is a potion master familiar with many potion-making methods or extremely proficient in potions. The teacher who was closest to the original Sherlock’s mother was Slughorn, who used to be the head of Slytherin house at Hogwarts and was also the potions class professor at that time.

These two strange coincidences that can come together are not a coincidence. The author who wrote this experiment log is very likely to be the original Sherlock’s mother, Sally Forrest. But judging from her report in the book, he can’t tell that she is crazy, like the portrait hanging in the study room.

On the contrary, she is a witch full of knowledge, good at experimenting, and very rational. The differences between the two are too big, making Sherlock shake his guess slightly.

Or was there something else he didn’t know about the original Sherlock’s mother, who went from a charismatic and smart witch into a mad woman?

For example, at the end of this book, the experiment is unsuccessful, causing her soul not to be repaired, and finally getting worse and worse, and she becomes mad.

Sherlock now has too little evidence and no way of knowing everything. The main question remains: why did the mark let him get this experiment log?

In Sherlock’s heart, he already had an answer that he was unwilling to believe. Like the original Sherlock’s mother in the book, his soul may have a problem.

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 normal magic. Sherlock, who had been familiar with magic until now, never felt that he had trouble casting spells.

He looked at the page in the book that taught him how to test his own soul’s magic, hesitated for a moment, and finally conducted a test on his own soul according to the method in the book.

The result was as expected.

His soul is not in good condition and was divided into several parts.

Sherlock stood up from his chair, frowning and pacing back and forth in the office. He didn’t expect such a thing to happen, but it didn’t have any effect on him. His spell did not appear to be weaker than any other wizard, and he never felt any discomfort in his body.

Why and when his soul was torn apart?

He couldn’t think of an answer, and even if he did, it wouldn’t help him much. Looking at the book, Sherlock shook his head and said softly.

“If she can’t find a suitable thread, then how am I able to find one?”
