Welcome, young witch or wizard, to Spellcasting 101: Basic Casting! This is the first course in our prestigious Magic School of Wizardry, where you'll learn the fundamental techniques for casting spells that won't get you killed or dismembered.
It's not as hard as it looks! Simply hold your wand, focus your will, and... well, try not to get too distracted by the snacks in the break room.
Remember, practice makes perfect, so be sure to cast your spell at least 5-7 times before moving on to the next lesson.
This is where things start to get a bit more complicated. You see, the zig-zagging motion is crucial for channeling magical energy into the desired outcome.
But don't worry, it's all about the wrist action, baby!
