Lesson 6) Applying Your Will

Chapter 6



  • Willpower is the mental power used to perform magic.

  • It is similar to physical strength but represents mental control and the ability to make thoughts and ideas known.

  • Some spells require willpower, while others do not.

  • The amount of willpower exerted affects the success and intensity of a spell.

  • Willpower is focused on the target and desired effect of the spell.

  • It is important to be cautious with the amount of willpower used, as a spell failure can result in a strong backfire.

  • Willpower is separate from concentration, which is the ability to pinpoint and direct the spell's effect.

  • Willpower provides the power for the spell to function, while concentration determines the direction and behavior of the spell.

  • Levitation Charm:


    • Minimal power initially, more for heavier objects

    • Visualize magic flowing and making object light

    • Minimal backfire, avoid losing concentration


  • Sticking Charm:


    • Used to stick surfaces together

    • Requires high willpower

    • Incantation: Astrictus, wand movement: infinity symbol (∞)

    • Willpower determines stickiness and difficulty to separate

    • Possible spell failure or backfire


  • Concentration:


    • Focus mind on target and desired effect

    • Varies in intensity

    • Shapes willpower and guides magic flow

    • Distractions can disrupt concentration

    • Meditation improves focus

    • Solely focus on spell at casting

    • Visualization and additional thoughts/emotions may be needed for certain spells
