Lesson 2) Bright Lights and A Little Revealer
Chapter 2
- Casting spells requires concentration, willpower, wand movement, and incantation
- Concentration/focus is the mental process of channeling magic to achieve a specific effect
- Willpower is the magical force exerted to make the spell happen
- Wand movement helps channel magical energy and draw on internal and external energy sources
- Incantations are important and should be pronounced with appropriate pronunciation and emphasis
- Wand movement becomes less necessary with more experience and concentration
- Verdimillious Charm has offensive and illumination versions
- Offensive version shoots green sparks that explode around the opponent, causing a stinging sensation
- Wand movement for offensive version is a forward slash, aim carefully to avoid self-inflicted stings
- Illumination version shoots green light towards the ceiling, revealing objects hidden by Dark magic
- Wand movement for illumination version is a circular motion over the head
- Concentration and willpower are required for casting both versions of Verdimillious Charm
- Revealing Charm is used to reveal hidden writing
- Tap the target object and say the incantation Aparecium to cast the Revealing Charm
- Willpower can be used to enhance the clarity of the revealed writing
- Revealing Charm has two possible outcomes: nothing happens if there is no hidden writing, or hidden writing will temporarily glow purple and reveal itself for about five minutes
