To go into detail, I specifically liked the conditions of spells, because within the films, you need to meet certain requirements to cast a spell. One example is Expecto patronum. A defensive spell that shows different forms of animals. The condition of the spell is that you have to summon your happiest memory. If you are incapable of having a happy memory, you can\u2019t perform the spell.\u00a0 Another is \u2018the unbreakable vow\u2019, a type of binding spell between two people: if broken by either party, it would result in the death of whoever broke the vow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since I focused on and liked that magic could only be performed when meeting a certain condition. I thought of some requirements for these spells:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Being able to pronounce the spell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having a certain feeling to perform the spell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having enough mana\/knowledge to be able to perform&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Having to do a certain action before announcing the spell<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mixing certain objects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Swinging your wand a certain way<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Drawing\/writing enchantments before performing a spell<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If I were to continue this theme, I would like to explore these conditions. However, for now, I just want to research further into &#8216;magic&#8217;. For example, my next step into research could be researching the origin of magic, different cultures&#8217; use of &#8216;magic&#8217;, and the past\/present use of &#8216;magic&#8217;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-pale-cyan-blue-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-2 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rl5g23\/2025\/10\/20\/renaissance-era\/\">Click here to review the Renaissance era topic<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-cyan-bluish-gray-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-3 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rl5g23\/2025\/10\/21\/sculpture\/\">Click here to view Sculpture topics<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-luminous-vivid-amber-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-4 wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rl5g23\/2025\/10\/20\/renaissance-era\/\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.wsagames.com\/rl5g23\/2025\/10\/21\/folklore\/\">Click here to view the Folklore topic<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Moodboard: Why magic?
