• Be cautious; more will you focus into a spell, the more violent if the backfire your spell fails


• Focus on the target of your spell with your mind, then think about the effect of the spell and nothing else, will subconciously cause the body to direct more magic toward your effect


• Using too much magic without having sufficiently practicing, can result in headaches, a good way to practice is through meditation


• Concentrations is one's ability to poinpoint what they want to affect with a spell and how the spell should act; Ex: Concentration determines where the water in the hose goes, willpower determines the amount of water being forced through the hose
