The seven Horcruxes were all items or living beings that played an important - or scarring - role in his life, including the Four Founders. Unbeknownst to him, his soul was split a seventh time after his killing curse rebounded after trying to murder an infant Harry Potter, a shard of his soul attached itself to the baby. He was the only wizard in history to have created more than one Horcrux and therefore considered the one closest to true immortality.
Lord Voldemort, who was so fearful of death, intended to split his soul into seven pieces, six pieces residing in Horcruxes and the seventh piece in his body. Herpo the Foul was the first wizard ever to create a Horcrux, and therefore the person to be accredited to this dark discovery. Splitting one's soul was considered a violation of the very laws of nature, and existence in such a form was preferred by very few, and was therefore considered the vilest of the Dark Arts. If at least one of the Horcruxes (and by extension the wizard's soul) were intact, the wizard was considered immortal.
Therefore, Voldemort would be entirely dependant on the Elixir, and if it ran out, or was contaminated, or if the Stone was stolen, he would die just like any other man." - Harry Potter and Albus Dumbledore discussing Voldemort's desire for immortality Ī Horcrux was an object chosen for the purpose of being a receptacle of part of one's soul, split by doing the most inhumane action: murder. While the Elixir of Life does indeed extend life, it must be drunk regularly, for all eternity, if the drinker is to maintain the immortality. But there are several reasons why, I think, a Philosopher’s Stone would appeal less than Horcruxes to Lord Voldemort. Harry Potter: " So he’s made himself impossible to kill by murdering other people? Why couldn’t he make a Philosopher’s Stone, or steal one, if he was so interested in immortality?" Albus Dumbledore: " Well, we know that he tried to do just that, five years ago. Furthermore, the potion did not rejuvenate youth, as if one lived past their natural lifespan, they would continue to age, eventually taking on a decrepit and ancient appearance, as Nicolas did. It had to be drunk regularly, for all eternity, to continuously live on. Thus, it was possible for them to die even while drinking the potion. The Elixir did not truly grant immortality, though, it only extended the drinker's lifespan, as opposed to rendering them invulnerable to damage. With the destruction of the Philosopher's Stone, all individuals who were immortal because they drank the Elixir of Life (like Flamel and his wife) died after the supply of Elixir ran out. The Stone was then destroyed by Albus Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel himself in order to prevent cases like Voldemort's from attempting to steal the Stone again. In 19, a weakened Lord Voldemort tried to gain possession of the Stone so he could rise again as an immortal after his downfall ten years prior. You are considered to have shuffled each affected library (even if, as a shortcut, each player physically shuffles their own library).The Philosopher's Stone, a stone created by famous alchemist Nicolas Flamel, was able to produce the Elixir of Life, one of the known means of immortality. If you gain control of another player’s Elixir of Immortality and activate it, the Elixir of Immortality will be shuffled into its owner’s library and the cards in your graveyard will be shuffled into your library. If it’s anywhere else by that time, including in another player’s graveyard, it remains where it is and you shuffle just your graveyard into your library. If Elixir of Immortality is in your graveyard at the time the ability resolves, you’ll still wind up shuffling it into your library because you shuffle your entire graveyard into your library.
If you have a way to untap it, you can activate the ability multiple times in response to itself.Īs the ability resolves, you’ll shuffle Elixir of Immortality into its owner’s library directly from the battlefield, if it’s still there. Paying the activation cost of Elixir of Immortality’s ability doesn’t cause it to leave the battlefield.
