Lesson 5: The Importance of Concentration
Chapter 5
~The act of centering your mind and centering your spell’s effects on the target.
~A component that is not necessarily crucial in every spell.
~Cannot be avoided if a spell requires it.
~The shaping of your will toward a specific goal.
~Your mind must be relatively clear at the moment you are casting a spell.
~Meditation is a great way to practice focusing.
~Avoid letting stray thoughts get in the way.
~Your concentration must be solely upon the task of casting the spell.
~Requires visualization of the effect.
Spell Modifiers
~A word or short phrase added to the end of a spell to modify the target or effect.
~The Locomotion Charm can be modified by including the name of the target. (Locomotor Truck)
The Sunlight Charm
~A very powerful flashlight.
Incantation: Lumos Solem (‘LOO-mos so-LEM’)
Wand Movement: Single counter-clockwise loop ending with the wand pointed toward the target.
Willpower: Low to very high; determines color and intensity of light.
Concentration: High; the target of the light.
~The beam will range in intensity from a faint white like a flashlight to a brilliant light golden yellow according to the amount of willpower.
~Can be a danger to vision.
~Last five to six second only if you concentrate.
The Sunlight Charm
~Conjures several smaller, floating lights.
~Experimental charm, practice for concentrating on multiple things at once.
~Each orb casts about as much light as a candle.
Incantation: Lumos Numerosa (‘LOO-mos Noom-air-O-sa’)
Wand Movement: Single counter-clockwise loop, then several rapid counter-clockwise loops.
Willpower: None
Concentration: High; concentration should be maintained on all the orbs, and determines how many can be created.
~Must concentrate upon each orb.
~Orbs are limited by the caster's ability to concentrate.
~Keeping them clustered together is the easiest way to move them all at the same time.
