Private message to Barty
I don't think I ever told you, but I can hear the thoughts of someone who dies in front of me - whether they die by my wand or someone else's.
The first time I ever noticed it was when I cast AK on someone. There's a noise that's like the pop of a champagne cork. A consciousness suddenly vanished, and air rushes in to fill the vacuum.
If someone dies more slowly, say from a blood-letting curse, it's like having the volume slowly turned down on the wireless. The sound gets weaker and quieter until it's gone.
If someone dies from Dark, ritualistic magic, then their thoughts turn into something I can't decipher at all. It's as if they're no longer human. Which I suppose makes sense, since Dark magic utterly robs them of their humanity.
