Magical Exhaustion
Chapter 4
Spells have a much bigger impact on you than you might realize. Every time you cast a spell, you are utilizing magical energy from within you. Casting a static spell uses magical energy solely during the time it takes to cast; dynamic spells will continue to draw on your magical energy for as long as the spell is in effect.
If you were to repeatedly cast the Wand-Lighting Charm, you would eventually start to feel tired. Just like your physical muscles, your mental and magical muscles need to be trained to be as effective as they can be. 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. If you have worked out properly, you should feel a soreness in your muscles and be physically worn out. Spellcasting will cause a similar effect to happen and you will feel mentally worn out. For your first year this will not be much of a problem, since you likely will not be casting too many spells simultaneously, but you will want to start training yourself now so that you will not get worn out as easily later. In Year Two, we will cover the basics of dueling and learning a few offensive spells. This will also include some practice in using the spells and you will not be able to practice as efficiently if you easily become tired.
I must warn you about what can happen if you overexert yourself. As I said, every time you cast spell, you are using magical energy. Each witch or wizard has, at any given time, the ability to channel a certain amount of magical energy through their bodies. If you try to channel too much magical energy at one time, though, or cast too many spells in a short timespan, you will begin to feel fatigued. Returning to our working out example, this is not unsimilar to the feeling you will feel if you push your body too hard - you feel nauseous, find it difficult to catch your breath, and will feel tired. 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.
In the same way that you become physically exhausted, you also can become magically exhausted. By casting too many spells, your body will begin to feel the effects and will become worn down. When you feel like this, you will want to get as much rest as you can. However, magical exhaustion has the added symptom that you might be more prone to accidental magic while your body recovers. This is your body’s way of making sure that everything is functioning properly, so make sure that, if you ever find yourself recovering from magical exhaustion, you remove from the room any objects you don’t want broken or can’t be repaired. If you begin to experience the symptoms of magical exhaustion, it is best to stop casting immediately and allow your body to rest. ALWAYS make sure to take proper care of yourself!
