Lesson 3) Types of Spells and Magical Exhaustion
Chapter 3
- Static spells have a singular and immediate effect, with no extended concentration required
- Wand movement is important for static spells, but can be eventually cast without it in higher levels
- Dynamic spells require stronger concentration and can have extended or changeable effects
- Dynamic spells appear less frequently in class, but it's important to be aware of both types
- Some spells can fall under both categories, such as the Fire-Making Charm
- Overexerting yourself magically can lead to magical exhaustion
- Casting spells utilizes magical energy from within
- Static spells use energy only during casting, while dynamic spells continue to draw energy as long as the spell is in effect
- Overexerting yourself magically can lead to magical exhaustion, similar to physical exhaustion after working out
- Training and building magical stamina is important to prevent easily becoming tired
- Magical exhaustion can result in fatigue, feeling nauseous, difficulty breathing, weakness, and difficulty performing tasks
- Rest is necessary to recover from magical exhaustion, but be cautious of accidental magic during this time
- If experiencing symptoms of magical exhaustion, stop casting and prioritize self-care
