Spells in Hogwarts Legacy
What are the Spells in Hogwarts Legacy? What is the difference between Charm, Jinxes, Hexes, Curses?
Referring to the statements of J. K. Rowling, the creator of the world of Hogwarts, we can classify these terms as follows:
- Spells is a generic term for all kinds of magical incantations.
- Dark Magic also known as Dark Arts is kind of magic that was mainly used to cause harm (even as great as death) to other people and creatures.
- Charms affect an object's behavior but do not change its nature. Charms are the mildest type of Spells.
- Jinxes are similar to Charms, but often contain subtle hints of Dark Magic, usually only to irritate and amuse.
- Hexes is a darker form of Jinxes, more closely related to Dark Magic, but still not deadly.
- Curses are spells that are definitely considered Dark Arts. Curses are, in effect, purely harmful or even deadly. The strongest of these are the Unforgivable Curses, forbidden to be cast by all magic users at Hogwarts.
- Ancient Magic are forgotten powerful ancient spells that you will be able to discover in the world of Hogwarts Legacy.
