Lesson 2) Spellcasting Basics
Chapter 2
The Source of Your Magic- No one knows for sure where it comes from. Wizards typically pass it on to their children.
Squibs- It's possible that the child of a witch and a wizard can be a “Squib”--someone with no magical ability. Despite a Squib’s inability to use magic, they still possess the limited ability to detect magical activity or use magical devices.
Muggle-Borns- It’s also possible that the children of muggles several generations removed from magical heritage can possess magical ability. These individuals are often described as “Muggle-born.”
Purebloods- Pure-bloods are witches and wizards with no Muggles in their bloodline.
Half-Bloods- A half-blood is a witch or wizard with one magical parent and one non-magical or Muggle-born parent.
Now, your magical power is not really a ball of energy at your center. It is in your veins, flowing through your body with your blood. But remember what I said before: intention and will matter. Your mind and your thoughts guide your power to flow outward from your fingertips when your body would otherwise naturally keep it inside. If you had times when you were able to perform random magical acts when you were angry or scared, even without a wand, that was your mind subconsciously shaping and releasing the energy to affect your surroundings.
Spellcasting Components- They are incantation and pronunciation, wand movement, willpower, and concentration.
