Harry Potter's Bastard

In Solim's case, he couldn't have tasted the dark arts, he had to delve into them, learn, try, use, and then use some of them proficiently. During this period, Solim must find the direction he is good at and the direction he is not good at in the dark arts, and strengthen what he is not good at, so as not to fall into this area in the future.

Dark magic is based on the caster's various negative emotions and desires, and Solim must be clear about what he is "best at" and "what he is not good at", in terms of anger, sadness, fear, guilt, disgust, jealousy, ...... In this large list, Solim has to find out the most likely and least likely negative emotions in his heart, and then ...... Abandon the dark magic based on these two or more emotions - the most easily developed negative emotions are the most difficult to control, although the power of using this dark magic can be considerable, but once it gets out of control and the caster himself does not control it, then it will have irreversible effects on his own personality. The most difficult negative emotions to breed are not much need to try, and the use of such black magic is bound to achieve satisfactory results.

So, a compromise is optimal. This will not have a serious impact on the caster's personality, and it also takes into account the quality of the dark arts, but the so-called gains and losses, since the caster's personality is preserved as much as possible from being changed, then correspondingly, such dark magic users tend to fall behind when encountering that extreme dark wizard.

It's a matter of personal trade-offs, the more extreme or white magic is, the more powerful it is, and it's generally difficult for someone like Solim to take a compromise approach to learning dark magic against such an extreme dark wizard.

Although he knew the disadvantages of this method, Solim still chose this path. After all, he didn't want to turn himself into an extreme monster. Except for the kind of wizards who have a blood feud, or who have such a natural nature, it is rare for a normal spellcaster to take that extreme path.

The book of spells that Solim brought with him from Selwyn Castle is arguably the coveted treasure of all Dark Arts learners - of course, this refers to wizards who don't have the guidance of a master teacher and don't have the means to learn the Dark Arts systematically.

Magic Books – As the name suggests, are books with some kind of magical effect. Generally speaking, magic books are unique books, after all, it takes a lot of things to make a real magic book, whether it is galleons or precious materials, but these are just materials, there is always a way to get them, but the method of making magic books is the key to it, and this method is strictly kept secret by several large families, never passed on, and the gap between them and ordinary wizards is opened by monopolizing knowledge - if Solim is an ordinary wizard, he will definitely be unhappy, but who calls him a vested interest.

The magic book in Solim's hand had a great spell on it, and he didn't know how to do it at his current level, but that didn't stop Solim from using it correctly.

A drop of his own blood dropped into the mouth of the protruding skull on the cover, and the blood dissipated into the air in a plume of rising red smoke, and the book was opened.

"Take a look at what this book allows you to get into contact with the dark arts. Cheedo walked straight across the table and stopped next to Solim.

Upon opening, a tree-shaped diagram appeared on the spellbook, clearly marking Solim's path on the path of the dark arts. Cheetos didn't shy away from it at all, and it stands to reason that a dark wizard's weakness in some kind of dark magic would never be known to others, which meant exposing his weaknesses.

"It's a pity that there is no curse...... "Cheeto looked at Solim as if he was sorry, "have you never been jealous or hateful?"

Curses are a rather weird and powerful branch of dark magic, wizards who are good at cursing tend to have much stronger feelings of jealousy and hatred than ordinary people, Solim obviously has no "talent" in this area, and the spellbook judges that he is not suitable for curse-type black magic.

But......

"Soul ......" Cheedo jerked his head up and stared at Solim with a treasure-looking gaze, "You have a talent for this?"

Soul magic is a very special branch of magic, as the name suggests, this type of magic is aimed at the soul, ordinary magic defense does not play a corresponding role in the face of soul magic, wizards who can learn soul magic are very rare, for the various characteristics of soul magic and why some wizards can master soul magic, so far there is no one in the wizarding world that can stand up to the statement.

"I shouldn't have seen it......" Cheeto seemed to finally react, he looked at Solim a little cramped, "I didn't expect you to have this kind of talent......"

"Look at the way you look...... That doesn't seem like a good thing?"

"Oh, of course! Of course it's a good thing! but—" Cheeto floated excitedly.

Well, almost everything will have this "but", Solim looked at Cheetos quietly.

"—You have to keep it a secret!, no one can tell you!" Cheedo leaned into Solim's face, and the peculiar coolness of the ghost's neighborhood seeped into his brain through the skin of Solim's face.

"Neither can my grandfather?" The only person Solim could trust was Elrond besides Sylna.

"No!" Cheedo re-emphasized, "you don't know what it means for a wizard to use soul magic to appear. "

"Could it be that the family will harm me?"

"No! it's too late for them to rejoice. Cheeto pouted disdainfully, "They'll treat you like a treasure—a real treasure, and they'll send a great wizard—yes, at least one great wizard will be close to you, and will teach you magic with all their heart and soul - they will give you the knowledge of your choice, and you have no right to refuse." "

Seeing that Solim was really thinking, Cheedo said, "You might think this would be a good thing?"

The personal protection of a great wizard, and the teachings that are readily available...... Wait, protection?

Solim was a spirit, and he seemed to realize something.

"We will definitely regard you as the future of the family, and we will do our best to nurture you, and the resources of the family will also be tilted towards you. But this is this Selwyn, what about the other families, especially the ones that don't deal with us?"

Rich, the name popped into Solim's head.

"To us Selwyn, you are an extremely important figure, but to others, you, a wizard who will be able to use soul magic in the future, are a great threat—a threat that must be eliminated!"
