Credence Learns To Channel His Obscurus Into Powerful Magic

克雷登斯会将默默然转化为强大的魔法

 

Originally, Credence doesn't understand what's happening to him in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and so he has no control over his powers. Ariana, emotionally scarred, is also incapable of understanding or controlling her Obscurus. However, once Grindelwald explains to Credence what's happening and introduces him to the wizarding world, Credence seems to develop more and more control over his powers. When he's given a wand at the end of Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, he's able to control his gifts to the extent that he can channel that power to destroy a mountain.

一开始，克雷登斯不知道在他发生了什么，所以他无法控制自己的能力。阿莉安娜在情感上受到创伤，也无法理解或控制她的默默然。然而，当格林德沃向克雷登斯解释了整个事情，并把他带入魔法世界后，克雷登斯似乎对他的力量有了越来越多的控制。在《格林德沃之罪》的结尾，他得到了一根魔杖。他能够控制自己的天赋以至于他可以利用这种力量摧毁一座山。

 

The power of an Obscurus is related to the innate power of the witch/wizard hosting it, and Grindelwald has seen just how much of that raw power Credence has. If he truly believed that the young Aurelius Dumbledore was utterly incapable of controlling it, he wouldn't risk inviting him into his own castle. The fact that he brings Credence to his side, and gives him a wand, suggests that it's possible for an Obscurial to learn to control their powers, at least to an extent - and if that's the case, it would make anyone with an Obscurus under control an extremely dangerous wizard.

默默然的力量与默然者的内在力量有关，格林德沃已经非常清楚。如果他真的相信年轻的奥里利乌斯·邓布利多完全无法控制它，他就绝不会冒险邀请他进入自己的城堡。他相信奥利里乌斯,并给他一个魔杖,这就表明这个年轻人是一个会控制自己的力量的默然者,在某种程度上,这是非常危险的。

 

Dumbledore's Great Power Could Come From His Obscurus

邓布利多的强大法力可能来自于他的默默然

 

Albus Dumbledore is recognized as one of the greatest and most powerful wizards of all-time. And while some of a wizard's power comes from their studies, a lot of it is innate. It's possible that Dumbledore is naturally an incredibly powerful wizard and a terrific magical scholar, but it's also possible that there is a genetic predisposition to developing an Obscurus.

阿不思·邓布利多被认为是有史以来最伟大的巫师之一。虽然巫师的一些能力来自于他们后天的学习，但很多也要靠天赋。有可能邓布利多生来就是一个强大得令人难以置信的巫师和了不起的魔法学者，但也有可能是天生就遗传有默默然的原因。

 

While Dumbledore doesn't have the kind of traumatic childhood that Credence and Ariana did, he certainly does have plenty of trauma in his life that could contribute to an Obscurus. His sister was attacked and traumatized, he lost his mother, his father was imprisoned, and he then watched his sister die in a duel that he blames himself for causing. Dumbledore may also blame himself for killing her, as he says that he doesn't know who cast the killing curse.

虽然邓布利多没有经历克雷登斯和阿利安娜那样痛苦的童年，但他的生活中确实有很多痛苦，足以创造默默然：他的妹妹受到了袭击，精神受到了创伤，他失去了母亲，父亲被关进了监狱，然后他眼睁睁地看着妹妹在一场决斗中死去，他痛恨自己造成了这场决斗甚至可能是自己杀了她，因为他不知道是谁施了这个杀戮咒。

 

Fearing that his own magic may have killed Ariana was enough to prevent Dumbledore from accepting any position of power offered to him - such as Minister Of Magic - but it could also have caused him to turn a portion of that power inward. However, it's been theorized that Ariana's Obscurus transferred to Albus at the moment of her death. In Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Newt Scamander was able to keep an Obscurus alive after its host died, which suggests it could be possible for an Obscurus to find a new host. Grindelwald, under the guise of Percival Graves, indicated that he wanted to use the Obscurus, so at least the dark wizard believes it can be done.

担心是自己的魔法杀死了阿利安娜，这就足以阻止邓布利多接受任何提供给他的权力职位——比如魔法部长——但这也可能使他把一部分力量转向他的内心。然而，据推测，阿利安娜的默默然在她死的那一刻转移到了阿不思身上。在《神奇动物在哪里》中，纽特·斯卡曼德能够在默默然的宿主死后让它存活下来，这表明默默然有可能找到新的宿主。格林德沃伪装成珀西瓦尔·格雷夫斯，表明他想想使用暗箱，他认为可以做到这一点。

 

If this is the case, and Dumbledore has an Obscurus that he's able to control, as well as use to channel and strengthen his own magic, this may become part of the infamous duel that the Fantastic Beasts franchise is headed towards. Grindelwald may be planning to use Aurelius's Obscurial power to try and defeat Dumbledore, forcing Dumbledore to draw on the power of his own Obscurus in the duel. It would be an interesting twist for the character, and would explain why Rowling decided to create the Obscurial concept and make it such a huge part of the first film in the franchise.

如果是这样的话，那么邓布利多就有一个默默然，并可以用来加强自己的魔法，这可能会成为《神奇动物在哪里》系列电影中那场著名决斗的一部分。格林德沃可能计划利用奥利里乌斯默默然的力量来打败邓布利多，这迫使邓布利多在决斗中使用他自己的默默然。这或许是一个伏笔，这也解释了为什么罗琳决定创造默默然这样一种生物，并在这个系列的第一部电影中占据如此重要的位置。

 

Of course, Rowling may not have a master plan quite that complex, or that Credence isn't actually Dumbledore's brother, and Grindelwald is lying. Grindelwald may simply be attempting to use Credence's powers against Dumbledore because the young wizard is so strong... or there may be something else going on here entirely. Audiences will have to wait until Fantastic Beasts 3 releases in 2021 to find out exactly what's in the works for the wizarding world.

 

当然，罗琳可能没有一个那么复杂的计划，或许克雷登斯并不是邓布利多的弟弟，格林德沃在撒谎。格林德沃可能只是想利用克雷登斯的力量对付邓布利多，因为那个年轻的巫师太强大了……或者还发生了其他事情。观众们要等到2021年《神奇动物在哪里3》上映后才能知道魔法世界的这些谜团。
