Torn Soul

[I think this is a very feasible idea. ]

[The healing of the soul can completely mimic the healing method of the body, so if the torn parts are closely connected, it will speed up the healing process. ]

[But there is a very real problem in front of me. After all, the soul is a conceptual body of nothingness. Even the ghosts of the dead cannot appear in the world with physical body, let alone the souls of the living. ]

At this point, Sherlock felt that this book was more like a wizard's experimental diary.

In how to deal with the soul, the author encountered trouble, and most of the following pages are devoted to their experiments that can affect the form of the soul.

Until finally finding a suitable "needle and string".

[A magic spell that can target the caster's soul. It can penetrate the soul without damaging it, to achieve the effect of repairing.]

[Although the process of finding the right "needle" is a bit complicated, it is not too difficult. After all, there are so many ancient magics that target the soul. Even the highest attainments in black magic, the effects of the three unforgivable spells are all directed at the soul.]

There are many things to base the needle on.

What hinders the author's research in this book is the selection of "threads".

[Unlike the "string", the function of the "needle" is only to carry out the penetration with the "thread", and the "thread" is responsible for tightening and closing the gaps of the torn soul, and at the same time as the soul heals, it is perfectly integrated with the soul. into a whole.]

The first thing the author thought of was to use other souls as "threads" for stitching.

The same is the soul, this kind of adaptability is the highest, and at the same time, it can be perfectly integrated with the wound in the end.

After all, the stitching operation of the soul was still different from a normal sewing operation. As long as the "thread" is sewn in, there was no way to remove it again without damaging the soul.

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

[Leaving aside whether this involves morality, just the size of a normal soul of a living person cannot be used as a small strong "thread" to stitch a torn, weak soul without the risk of both souls being severely damaged.]

So all research is completely dead down that path.

The author has overcome all other difficulties and technical problems and even used a dementor as an experimental object to try. As long as they can find a suitable "thread", their idea could be perfectly realized.

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

[But the "string" requirements are too harsh.]

[First of all, the "string" must also be a soul, and secondly, this soul cannot be complete, and it was best was split into multiple parts.]

It is really difficult to meet this condition.

After all, a wizard's soul is not a piece of pizza that you could tear off a piece whenever to eat.

The author of this book had never heard of what kind of magic exists in the magic world that can split the soul without dying.

[I have recorded all the steps in this book, from the idea of ​​creating this magic that appeared in my mind, to the perfection of my spells step by step, to the last test of the magic experiment.]

[Sally] (fancy handwriting)

[The End. ]

But this amazingly talented witch who could think of such a way to heal her split soul felt very bitter as her magic was not perfected in the end.

Maybe if this was passed down, maybe there will be a better alternative to this "thread" in the advancement of magic in later generations.

This book which was put into the Forbidden Section of ​​the Hogwarts library, is now in Sherlock's hands.

Just looking at the authors writing in this book, records of all kinds of that happened in their life in the 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 mad mother!

Because the mark on his left arm is most likely from the original owner's mother, and Sherlock found multiple obvious details in the writing of this book.

This witch's teacher is a potion master who is familiar with many potion-making methods or is extremely proficient in potions.

And the teacher who was closest to the original owner's mother was Horag Slughorn, who used to be the headmaster of Slytherin at Hogwarts and was also the potions class professor at that time!

And also the name Sally at the end.

These two strange coincidences that came together pointed to only one conclusion.

The witch who wrote this experimental log was very likely to be the original owner's mother, Sally Forrest.

But judging from her self-report in the book, I can't if she was crazy like the portrait hanging in the original owner's study or just a normal which making her way through the world.

The contrast between the personalities shown by the two was too great, which made Sherlock shake his head a little bit.

Or was there something else he didn't know about that turned the original owner's mother from a charismatic witch into a mad woman?

For example, at the end of this book, the magic experiment was unsuccessful. Causing her soul to not be repaired, and finally getting worse and worse, and then becoming like that?

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

The top priority that should give him a headache now should be why the crescent moon marks guided him into getting this experiment log.

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

Like the original owner's mother in the experiment log, there may be a problem of damage to his soul!

But at the beginning of the book, it was said that the tearing of the soul will make it almost impossible for a witch or wizard to use any normal level of magic.

Since Sherlock was familiar with magic until very recently, he never felt that his spell was weak compared to others.

He looked at the page in "Soul Stitching" in his hand that taught how to test his own soul's current state, hesitating for a moment, and finally conducted a test on his soul according to the method in the book.

The result was as expected.

His soul is not complete, there are serious cuts!

Sherlock stood up from his chair, frowning and pacing back and forth in his office.

He didn't expect such a thing to happen at all, but the torn soul didn't have any effect on him, the spell did not 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.

"If you can't find a suitable "thread", how can I find it?"
