Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Yes, why?

Power does not arise from nothing.

Especially those related to the soul.

Even if the bracelet contains magic, it cannot nourish the soul, because the soul is too special.

Nicolas Flamel didn't keep him in suspense and continued.

"Because this bracelet was originally created to collect souls."

"My student was born with a flawed soul, which, while giving him unparalleled talent, also caused a defect in his character."

"So he created the Chain of Spirit Ruins in order to collect souls and then use the power of these souls to nourish himself."

"Know that only the soul can nourish it."

"And it must be the purest soul energy, without any trace of soul consciousness mixed in."

"This bracelet can collect souls and strip away their consciousness, leaving only the purest soul energy."

Nicolas Flamel slowly explained the original purpose of creating this bracelet: the so-called Spirit Ruins are the ruins and tombs of the soul.

At first, Nicolas Flamel spoke in an appreciative tone, but later his tone turned to one of avoidance.

"This is indeed a remarkable creation, but it is also a failure that harms both the creator and the user."

"Because once the wearer activates the bracelet's power, their soul will be marked by the bracelet's magic. After death, their soul will inevitably be drawn into the bracelet, never to be reincarnated."

"This also includes the bracelet's creator, my student. Even though the bracelet was later stolen, his soul was taken away after his death as well."

"It's laughable that he used other people's souls to nourish his own soul for most of his life, only to become nourishment for other people's souls in the end."

At this point, Nicolas Flamel's tone became somewhat wistful.

Kevin seemed to realize something, and his expression turned sour.

If that's really the case, then that so-called boundary between life and death is actually just a place that houses souls.

His parents were reduced to mere ideologies; were they stripped from their souls by the bracelet?

All this talk of self-reincarnation is fake; they've been fooled too.

What awaits them is not reincarnation, but the complete dissipation of their ideology, turning them into nothingness.

"I've heard about your resurrection yesterday, Kevin. This bracelet was indeed a formidable weapon while the wearer was still alive."

"The reason my students made their bracelets into two pieces was to store their souls separately, thus giving themselves protection similar to that of Horcruxes."

"This is also the origin of the second use of bracelets: the soul of the wearer can be transferred from one bracelet to another little by little, and it will stop after reaching a certain threshold."

"This also created the function of pseudo-Horoscopes."

"But this is ultimately not a true Horcrux."

"It's just a temporary soul storage device. Once your main soul has been separated from your body for too long, the bracelet will actively collect your soul, directly strip away your consciousness, and turn it into nourishment."

"If there is another wearer, the bracelet can guide your soul back to the present world or reshape your physical body."

"But if there is no resurrection, or if there is no resurrection for a long time, then in the end, all that awaits you is your soul turning into nourishment, with only your ideology remaining in the bracelet."

"My student died because his bracelet was stolen, and no one could bring him back to life."

"Otherwise, he could achieve another kind of immortality by constantly creating a physical body."

With Nicolas Flamel's gradual explanation, Kevin finally understood the full function of the bracelet.

This bracelet wasn't originally designed for couples to use as a way to connect with each other.

It just so happens that the functions overlapped, and the real side effects were masked. Through misinformation and word of mouth, it gradually became the rumors we know today.

However, it must be said that if two people wear these items and support each other, they can indeed achieve a kind of immortality. This ability alone is enough to fascinate countless people.

Even if the price is that once you die, you will never be able to reincarnate.

"Grandpa Nico, you said it can still be salvaged, how can it be salvaged?"

While Harry and the others were still processing the information and were shocked by the truth, Kevin went straight to asking the most important question.

"It's very simple. Destroy this bracelet, disable its function, and the remaining soul inside will be freed and reincarnated once more."

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple."

Kevin was quite surprised to hear this answer.

After all that talk, I thought this side effect would be really serious, but it turns out that destroying the bracelet is all that's needed.

But thinking about it, it makes sense.

Those unaware of the bracelet's side effects won't destroy it, and those who know the side effects but believe they can control it also won't destroy it.

Kevin looked at the bracelet on his wrist, but instead of destroying it immediately, he asked another question.

"Grandpa Nico, when my soul left my body, I saw the consciousness of my parents. They were in the bracelet. If it is destroyed, will they also disappear?"

"Yes."

Nicolas Flamel nodded. The bracelet would separate the soul's consciousness, but the consciousness would not immediately dissipate; instead, it would remain within the bracelet.

If no other ideologies enter, they can exist for a very, very long time because that space is filled with soul energy.

But if they enter other ideologies, they will dissipate before long.

Or destroy the bracelet; without the support of soul energy, their consciousness will dissipate.

"Is there any way to extract their ideology? I don't want them to just disappear like this."

"I'm sorry, child." Nicolas Flamel shook his head at Kevin's request.

The bracelet contains only remnants of ideology; without a carrier, it cannot be brought back to the present world.

Upon hearing this, Kevin fell silent for a moment.

Hermione sensed Kevin's feelings and took his hand.

"Kevin, whatever decision you make, I will support you."

After a long silence, Kevin spoke slowly.

"...I will destroy it."

Upon hearing Kevin's answer, Nicolas Flamel nodded in agreement; this bracelet should have been destroyed long ago.

Whether it's turning someone else's soul into nourishment or preventing their soul from reincarnating, these are not things that can be accepted by common sense.

He couldn't bear to see his student suffer the pain of a broken soul, so he acquiesced to it.

The result was that his soul was forever trapped in the cycle of reincarnation, which ultimately harmed him.

It's time to end all of this.

Kevin looked at Dumbledore and gave a helpless, bitter smile.

The living should not be held back by the dead; this was something he had once told Dumbledore.

I never expected it to apply to me so quickly.

Whether it's to remove the bracelet's side effects or to allow the parents to reincarnate normally, the bracelet must be destroyed.

If his parents knew all this, they would probably support him.
