I initially used to think that Lucifer created an entirely different species called demons and they were different from a ghost or a spirit--which are one of the options for the afterlife of a human soul in Supernatural. But, as it turns out, in some of the episodes, demons are portrayed to be pretty afraid of getting their bones burned--which is a rather signatory rite to eliminate the ghosts and the spirits. It necessarily means that human souls can somehow be converted into demons after their death as humans, particularly, if they have signed a deal with any demon during their life. How can a human soul be transformed into a demon? Shouldn't they be fundamentally distinct and non-interchangeable? If they are not, are there any subtle differences between the demons who are created from human souls and the demons which descend directly from the demons created by Lucifer as a distinct species? Or, are all demons essentially created through a transformation of human souls?
In Harry Potter we are introduced to Kwikspell course in The Chamber of Secrets (and never hear about it again). We see Filch taking courses, presumably by mail. The descriptions of Kwikspell make me think it is for people who are weak in magic (kind of like how Neville was supposed to be when he was younger), but had magic in them nonetheless. However, Ron's comments later in the chapter make it sound like it is mainly for Squibs to learn magic. However, it is strongly implied through out all the books that Squibs are essentially Muggles, and will never be able to do magic. How then is a Kwikspell course supposed to work? Do we have any information to know if it works at all? Is it a scam? An answer from any level of canon is welcome. Answer Kwikspell courses are (probably) useful to some wizards, but not to squibs. The Kwikspell course literature comes with two testimonials. Madam Z. Nettles of Topsham writes: ‘I had no memory for incantations and my potions were a family joke...
