Talon had suffered the cruciatus curse before. Who, having fought enough Dark Wizards, hadn't? But one never became immune to it. The incredible torture that came with that evil word ripped your entire body inside out without doing any damage at all. It didn't matter how you had hardened your mind, or even your body. It would hit you in places you didn't even know you had.
For a brief moment, the Headmaster was about to tell him where to find Cancer, the newest book he had obtained, the Water book of destruction that he had pulled from the depths of the Chamber that Justin Cobalt himself had shown him. Just one book wouldn't cause total devastation, and he could get it back...and he could get it back when he was no longer feeling such awful and unbearable pain...
Then, however, the Shade revealed his secret to Talon. His weakness. His Achilles' heel. "Within...magic...itself..." the Headmaster muttered, beginning to laugh through his horrible agony, "No...no it's not game over. I don't lose. You lose. I'm a wizard! I control magic!" Lifting his wand just enough to point it at the former Shadow, he whispered, "Silencio et defesso ad Umbra Magici."
Well oh dandy. The shade had no idea what the wizard was saying when he was going on about controlling magic and being a wizard and what not. In all honesty, the Shade was getting bored of him and ready to just kill him. But, then he cast some sort of spell...
"Oh shi-"
The skeleton exploded outwards, little pieces going all over and into the clutter, and the ring was tossed onto a pile of books, probably naughty romance novels. The robes fell to the ground in a pile, and the conjured daggers disappeared from Talon's person.
His spell had banished all the magic in the area around the Shade, essentially banishing him from the room. But, one thing Talon didn't notice was that the Shade was not gone from the room, he was still there in the ring on the pile of books. His soul was still there, and so was his consciousness.
Aha! You're brilliant! a voice spoke in Talon's mind, I knew I didn't want to kill you! It would be a waste of such a grand genius. Of course, I hate you for this and you will feel unimaginable pain the moment I can get my hands on you...

Talon was still laughing. All through Unknown's speech he was laughing, to the point where little teardrops from the sides of his eyes. He was so relieved. He had survived, and he had survived without surrendering to anyone, and without making deals, and without any outside interference. The Headmaster had won this battle.
He looked around his office as the tears came streaming down his face, examining the bits of bone and robe that lay where the Shade had formerly been standing. The cruciatus curse was undone, as were the daggers that had been piercing him, but he still felt a little worse for wear...he'd have to cut off whatever appointment he had been heading to...make a stop at the Quidditch Field instead...maybe Marina could help him out...
Before Talon did anything else, though, he pushed himself across his rug to his naughty romance novels and picked up the ring that had been on the former Shadow's person. It seemed like a regular piece of jewelery, and might've belonged to whatever skeleton the spirit had been inhabiting. Still, the Headmaster thought, it had absorbed his lightning spell the second time he'd cast it. Whatever this was, it was some kind of magical instrument of power.
He pocketed it for now. No chance of any of his followers getting it back while he was gone. He'd head down to see Marina first, and then he'd make a visit to a person who might be more adept in this sort of magical mystery.
