Just as Keresis had said, those who used black magic were not necessarily Dark Sorcerers.
Many upright Sorcerers had studied black magic to some extent. Only with a deep understanding of it could one accurately defend against it. This was also the essence of the Defense Against Black Magic course taught by Hogwarts.
The curriculum for the lower grades had not yet been revealed. After passing the normal Sorcerer Rank Examination, the upper grade students would be required to read books related to black magic as reference during the Defense Against Black Magic class.
As for an experienced Auror like Moody, he was a master of black magic himself.
He knew more than many Dark Sorcerers. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one defeat the enemy.
Not to mention the criteria of being a Dark Sorcerer, just the black magic itself.
For a long time, restrictive black magic had been a gray area in the magic world.
These spells were more destructive and not suitable for Sorcerers to master and use.
However, they were not that evil and did not distort the mind and life essence of the user.
The Ministry of Magic maintained a cautious attitude towards such spells and strictly controlled their use and spread.
However, they would not capture someone and send them to Azkaban just because they used it.
The most obvious examples were the Out-Of-Body Spell, Mind Snatching, and Emptiness Spell. They were all common spells that affected the human soul and were classified as black magic.
However, the nature of the spells varied according to the degree of harm.
First was the Soul Snatching Spell. To use the Out-Of-Body Spell, one must have evil thoughts. This evil spell would affect the mind of the user. Regardless of whether there was a normal reason, one should not control the body of another person.
Therefore, it was listed as one of the Unforgivable Curses. It was the most evil of black magic and was completely forbidden.
As for Mind Snatching, this spell could help the user read the mind of another person and obtain their emotions and memories.
Dumbledore and Voldemort were both proficient in this magic, so he had to be careful when talking to them. If he wasn't careful, the secrets hidden in his mind could be known at any time and seen clearly by the other party.
The spell and the truth-telling potion were strictly controlled by the Ministry of Magic, but Elwyn was sure that Dumbledore did not take the Ministry of Magic's restrictions seriously. Before Elwyn mastered Brain Occlusion, Dumbledore used the spell every time he talked to Elwyn.
Even though he had learned the Brain Occlusion Spell, he still had to be careful every time he spoke, afraid that the other party would find any loopholes in his words.
There were too many secrets in Elwyn's head. Some of them were things he wanted to let the other party know, and some he had to keep away.
This was also the main reason why he was unwilling to look for Dumbledore if anything happened.
Of course, there were many things that Dumbledore would not care about in order to train Elwyn, Harry, and the others. For example, when the snake monster was wreaking havoc in the castle, he must have known about the secret room, but in the end, he only sent his phoenix to help them.
Unlike the Out-Of-Body Experience, the [Mind Snatching] would not create any obvious shadow stars in the souls of the user and the target.
This spell was not that evil, so it was not a completely forbidden black magic, but a restrictive black magic.
As for [Oblivion], there was no need to talk about it. Its function was to make people lose their memories. It could be a specific memory, or it could be all of their memories. As this process was reversible through the Memory Spell, the damage was minimal, so there were no restrictions.
After passing the Ordinary Sorcerer Rank Examination, the young Sorcerers would learn how to use this spell in the Magic Spell class.
Of course, using the Amnesia Spell on others might require permission. Otherwise, they would be hunted down.
One of the employment requirements for the Magic Accident Disaster Department of the Ministry of Magic was to be proficient in [Oblivion].
The main responsibility of the three departments under it: the Contingency Reversal Team, the Memory Cancellation Command, and the Muggle Problem Mediation Committee was to constantly modify the memories of the Muggle members, so that they would forget the magic they had seen by chance.
Two students using restrictive black magic could be a big or small matter. If there was no obvious damage, they would not be punished. Kakarov knew this, so he did not pursue the matter further.
Moreover, the root of the problem was that the black magic that Ron used was taught to him by Krum.
If Ron was guilty, then Krum would not be able to escape responsibility.
Moreover, everyone knew that Durmstrong had been teaching and encouraging students to learn black magic.
Among them, there was not only restrictive black magic. If they were to really investigate, it would be extremely disadvantageous to them.
No one was willing to pursue the matter further. Professor Meg did not punish Elwyn and Ron. She only grounded them for a day, symbolically, and gave Elwyn 50 points as a reward for his performance.
"The two spells you used were very good, Mr. Mason. You saved a lot of people!" Professor Meg said with a smile on her face.
Coming from her mouth, this was already a very high praise.
Elwyn noticed that her right hand, which was on his shoulder, was trembling slightly. He had performed very well in the Transfiguration class, but Professor Meg had only nodded every time. At most, she would say that it was not bad. She rarely gave a comment like "very good".
Of course, she would never give less points than she should. That was Professor Meg's style.
"Especially the move that repelled the fire dragon. It was beautiful and straightforward, Elwyn!" Sirius said happily.
Apart from Snape, Professor Meg, Sirius, and Keresis did not leave with the judges.
"Keep up the good work, Mason!" Keresis said, in a tone unique to Moody.
He was also more interested in Elwyn's performance. That magical eye kept jumping in its socket.
The only one in the tent who was not so happy was Ron. He looked uneasy and had not recovered from the shock.
This competition was supposed to be a good opportunity for him to regain his courage. Unfortunately, this sudden incident immediately suppressed the courage and confidence that had just risen in Ron. He was now very worried about the fact that he had used black magic.
"Alright, Ron, don't take it to heart!" Elwyn said with a sigh. He patted Ron's shoulder. "It's not a big deal to use that spell. Just like Professor Dumbledore and Professor Meg said, you did very well just now!"
"But I used black magic?!" Ron turned to look at Elwyn with a strange look.
"That was a restrictive spell, not a forbidden spell." Elwyn said, briefly explaining to Ron. "Anyway, believe me, this is nothing. You defeated the fire dragon, got the golden egg, and got a good score. You should be happy."
