Basic Charm Casting by Eulalie Hicks, Fully Readable Charms Textbook, A5

A fully readable charms textbook for beginners: working with your wand, basic charms step by step, and household charms and countercharms.

How should a beginner work with a wand? Which charm should you learn first? And how do you undo a household charm that went too far?

About Basic Charm Casting by Eulalie Hicks

Basic Charm Casting by Eulalie Hicks is the charms course for students who already know a few spells and want to cast them properly. It begins with the wand itself and how to work with it, and then goes through the basic charms one by one, step by step. A practical part covers household charms and their countercharms — the everyday magic of a witch's or wizard's home, and how to reverse it when it gets out of hand. The author is the charms professor of the American school of magic, which gives the book a fresh voice next to the classic first-year titles.

Fully readable — not a blank prop

All 160 pages are printed with original illustrated content. No blank or lined journal pages: this is a book to read, not a notebook with a decorated cover.

Charms textbook for beginners and spell book collectors

Basic Charm Casting is the natural next step after the Book of Spells and the first half of a two-volume charms course with Advanced Charm Casting. Readers who enjoy the practical side of magic like its step-by-step format, cosplayers use it for a charms-class look, and it completes a spell-book shelf next to Miranda Goshawk's classic. It is also part of our Spell Book Set and of the charm casting pair.
