Lesson Three 


When casting a spell, there are two potential outcomes - either the spell will have a singular, immediate effect or it will have an effect that occurs over a duration of time with the potential to change. The former is known as a static spell and the latter is known as a dynamic spell.


 


Spell Type: Static Spells


 A static spell is a type of spell that has a singular and immediate effect that does not change when cast. To cast a static spell, there is no extended concentration involved.Basically once the spell is cast, the required concentration is done.This type of spell will also be the easiest to break away from the traditional forms of spellcasting.


 


Spell Type: Dynamic Spells


 These types of spells will typically have either extended effects that require a continuous flow of willpower and concentration that must be directed towards the target and the effect, or effects that can be changed in the middle of the casting. 


 


 


Magical Exhaustion


Every time you cast a spell, you are utilizing magical energy from within you.Magical exhaustion, can occur after casting to many spells or casting spells that require alot of magic. The more you use your magic, the more worn out you will get. This feeling will be similar to the feeling you get after working out, such a s soreness, and mentally worn out. 


 


*Warning *


If you feel nauseous, find it difficult to catch your breath, and will feel tired.--STOP CASTING IMMEDIATELY!--These are the beginning signs of exhaustion. In extreme cases, your body may feel weak and you may find that you have difficulties standing or doing even the most basic of tasks.
