all about magic, their effects and how to use them correctly

Los wizards and witches of Hogwarts Legacy willing to begin their studies in Hogwarts castle must learn to perfectly master their magic wand, something that is essential to be able to successfully carry out the missions that arise, to fight against dark wizards and not to have a bad time during the classes.

In the successful video game from Avalanche Software and Warner Bros. there are not especially few spells to use, all of them divided into several groups with their corresponding effects. Some are good for fighting, others for solving puzzles, and there are even a few that can be used in the Room of Requirement.

As there are quite a few that can be unlocked during this magical adventure, we are going to tell you what is each of them for?so that you can get the most out of them during the trip you will undertake and you are clear about what each one is for in certain situations.

How to fight and get more spell sets

To be able to use the normal spells, it will be enough to press R2 to shoot without stopping, which is the main attack that you will use most of the time when facing any enemy. To crush them you will have more ways, such as damage spells to lower their life, as well as force or control spells to cause secondary effects.

Based on carrying out missions and defeating enemies, your character will gain experience points, which will make him level up and at the same time get talent points. You can spend each one of them in different categories in order to enhance their effects, the damage they cause and there are also many others that provide some very important characteristics.

For example, in the main talents section there is one that allows you to expand spell sets. All of them can be accessed by holding down R2 and the different directions of the crosshead, so you can assign a total of 16 magic to the buttons that are most comfortable for you, thus configuring a set of attacks, another of effects , another control or simply mix them.

His thing is to make combinations between them, so that you can use levioso to make an enemy float, attack him in the meantime and then attract him with action to launch a fire and thus burn him completely. Even so, this is only a small example of the crazy things that can be unleashed with the magic wand.

Another detail to highlight is that to unlock the second and third set of spells you will need to have reached the level 5while to obtain the fourth and last set you must reach the level 16.

The way to remove the shields of dark wizards

Evil creatures abound throughout the Magical World against which you will have to fight, but above all dark wizards who will also use their respective magic wands to attack you with their respective magic. In addition, it is possible that they are placed a shield to protect themselves from your impacts.

Luckily the way to eliminate them is not too complicated and you will have several ways to bring them down. One of the simplest is with the casting of ancient magic, because thanks to it you will be able to pick up objects that are lying on the ground or the surroundings and thus, in addition to causing damage to them, destroy the protection that they have applied to themselves.

You can also choose to attack them without stopping, but theirs is that you look at the color of his shield. In this way, if it is yellow you will eliminate it with control magic, if it is purple you will do the same with force magic, just like the red ones you will knock them down with damage magic.
