Restricted Section Description - Julia Barlowe - 08-23-2025
The Restricted Section
Barred by a magically-sealed gate, the Restricted Section is home to tomes that the Ministry has deemed either 'unsuitable' or 'by professor allowance' only.
These books generally take on a darker, dangerous and more complicated tone than their counterparts that are readily available in the library. They often have personalities that see them biting, snarling, screaming or even oozing strange substances. This section is not for the faint of heart, and access is only provided to those with express permission by the librarian or her head assistants.
Subjects Within The Restricted Section Include But Are Not Limited To:
- Curses, Blood Magic, Unforgiveables, Inferi
- Forbidden Transfiguration
- Necromancy
- Ancient & Lost Magic
- Soul-Splitting, Cursed Objects, Time Manipulation, Enchanted Weapons
- Legilimency & Occlumency
- Dangerous Creature Studies
- Ancestral Curses, Rituals and Lineage-Based Spellcasting
- Spell Creation
- Reality Manipulation
