- "Now this isn't like other spells. You need to keep moving your wand in a circle to build up power."
- —A charms professor teaching a student[src]
A wizard or witch can increase the power of a spell by waving their wand around in circular motions before casting a spell. The spell, once its power has been increased, will change colour from its ordinary colour to a different colour. If one attempts to charge a spell more than the spell should be charged, it will backfire in mid-air and cause minor damage to them.[1][2][3]
Behind the scenes
- In the fourth video game, the spell Magicus Extremos is used to replace the more generic building up of power.[4]
