Quote SoB, Chapter 14:

"Now mind you, not all spells can be thrown into such light. The
Cruciatus curse, for example, has no good use that I can see."

The Cruciatus spell can be used for good. Some have suggested it was
originally a medical spell to wake patients up from comas.

Also, wouldn't casting it repeatedly on someone build up a resistance
to pain?

yeah right, and enervate then? the crucio can be used, of course, but
it is a spell that deliberatly cause pain. Wouldn't it be simpler to
create a spell with the same result but without the pain?

Also, wouldn't casting it repeatedly on someone build up a resistance
to pain?

Same thing, one could improve their resistence in pain by using other
spell and potion that numb the nerves...

Sorry, I just don't buy it. There are nerve pressure points which
medical personal may use to see if a person is truly unconscious or
not, but cruciatus? Nope. That spell is too generalized and causes too
much pain.

I look at it this way. There are some spells which were deliberately
designed to hurt people, and others which have been corrupted over the
centuries into that catagory. Most of the spells aren't dark. Its the
intent of the caster to make them so. Should someone actually come up
with a good reason as to why cruciatus can be used for good I'm
willing to listen. But I don't believe there is a good reason for it.

I don't buy it either, but I did read a story where they explained it by
using the spell to basically jump start nerves after a serious injury. A
person can't feel anymore and after the initial injury is fixed they used it
to basically restart the nervous system.

Just a thought

I don't know about "good", but here's a culturally "different"
reason ... I'm writing a story with some Native American elements in
it. As we know if we have not restricted our reading to PC texts,
there were some elements of Native cultures which were rather
unpleasant - so a cruciatus could be used not only to torture
captured warriors but to train the warriors of one's own tribe to
resist pain, so that if, for example, they were wounded while on a
scout mission they wouldn't give the mission away by crying out, or
something like that. Also so that if they were captured themselves,
they could endure torture to gain maximum honor. I can see wizard
samurai doing something similar - if you've trained under cruciatus,
you can pretty much ignore the pain of seppuku. Probably the Norse
or the Mongolians could have used it for similar reasons. Endurance
tests as part of manhood rites are big in a lot of cultures.

Things are different in a warrior/barbarian culture. It's only when
the culture is "civilized" that no purpose is seen for it.

I read the nerve stimulation theory, which goes
somewhat like so: Paralysis comes about when the
nerves aren't connected anymore, or the connections
are dulled. The Cruciatus Curse stimulates the nerves,
and they reconnect.

Now, I don't know exactly how plausible that sounds,
but I agree with Bob, the Crucio is too wide-spread
for this. There are potions that work on the nerves.
