A Matter of Will:

• Willpower = mental power (similar to how strength represents physical power)


• For the non-magical, willpower is simply a measurement of one's ability to control their emotions. For those with magical ability, we use our willpower to perform magic, to make the impossible possible.


• With just a small effort of will, a First Year student can use the spell to light a candle. However, as you progress through the years you'll find yourself able to direct more and more of your magic to the desired effect.


• It's important to also separate the idea of concentration from the idea of willpower. Concentration is one's ability to pinpoint what one wants to affect with a spell and how the spell should act. Willpower is the mental muscle that drives a spell and provides the power for it to function.
