Spell categorization
Spells can be organized into two groups: static or dynamic. This idea came about at a spell work convention in 2016.
Static spells
“Spells wherein one no longer has influence over the condition of the target once the casting has finished.”. In general these spells are easier because you don’t need long concentration. Example of static spells are: Lumos, alarte escandare and incendio.
Dynamic spells
“Spells wherein the caster may maintain some connection to and/or influence over a target, even toch after the casting has been completed.”. Examples are repairo, diffindo and incendio.
Incendio falls under both categories.
The Severing Charm
Incantation: Diffindo (deef-IN-doe)
Wand Movement: V-Shaped down and up, ending with a swish in the direction to cut.
Willpower: Low
Concentration: Moderate; The place to cut and depth of the slice
Category: Dynamic
This charm was invented at some point in the 1400’s by a seamstress named Delfina Crimp. Hurting living beings takes years of practice.
The Softening Charm
Incantation: Spongify (SPUHN-jee-fye)
Wand Movement: S-Shape
Willpower: Moderate Concentration: Moderate;The target object
Category: Static
If you cast this spell on living being’s pretty much nothing happens. Metal and stone also don’t absorb the magic enough to make a decent difference.
