I thought like, canonically, avada kedavra fucks up your soul or whatever everytime you use it and it slowly corrupts you or something
Are you referring to how Voldemort split his soul to create the Horcruxes? The books only specify that a murder is needed to split the soul, not that the murder needs to be done using the killing curse
No there was actually something in there about avada kedavra being bad for the soul (or something like that), though I’m not sure if that specific bit applied just to the spell or to killing in general.
IIRC, it was killing in general. I think thenspell just isn’t used because most people don’t go around life wanting to murder other people. Although we’re putting more thought into it than she did probably.
Isn’t there explanations for why people dont just use it willy nilly?
They don’t learn it because “iTs ilLeGaL”
I’d like to think that it’s hard to learn but the books don’t imply as such and the hogwarts legacy video game implies that it’s easier to learn than crucio or imperio.
Makes sense. If the rule is some one needs to want the effect of one of those curses. I think wanting to torture someone is quite beyond wanting to just kill them.

So it has a downside.
Also, to work, you have to be able to mean it and basically be a psychopath for it to even work right.

Snape used it on Dumbledore up the astronomy tower.

Ah, fuck, yep, I had it the other way around yeah.

its also easily traceable and under dementor death penalty or something
Is it? Wasn’t Voldemort using it without being traced?
The Dementors were originally on his side.
Ah, you’re right.
