{Hey guys sorry for being gone for a while there. Some stuff popped up so I had to take care of that but the biggest reason is I got writer's block. So it would be great if you can spit out some ideas and stuff you want to see in the comments. Other than that I am back.}
--------------------------------------------------
I open the great big book which is titled 'Spell Models' and flip the pages until I land on the Wand-Lighting Charm section, on that page is a description about the spell, there is also the history of the spell, and much more but what really catches my attention is an intricate model of sorts that coves a great portion of the section on the Wand-Lighting Charm.
I bring the book closer to my mother then I point at the intricate model and ask, "What is this?"
"Look closely at the title of the book, what does it say," my mother replies to me in an obvious tone but I know she is playing with me.
I turn the book over to its cover, "So it is a Spell Model?"
My mother nods her head, "Yes, that model you just pointed at is a spell model,"
Confusion is written all over my face and my mother notices it, "I know you never heard about it since what most wizards and witches do is just learn about how to perform a spell and not its inner workings."
I look closely at the spell model in front of me then think to myself, so that answers a good portion of my questions about how spells work.
I looked up at my mother and asked, "Wait I do not understand, why aren't most wizards and witches not learning this, and correct me if I am wrong but they sure as hell do not teach this at Hogwarts."
My mother sighs and turns to me, "Like with most knowledge that was once known and found in the wizarding world, it was lost to most except a few powerful individuals."
Feeling surprised that such important info would disappear like that, without noticing it my eyebrows come together to form a scowl and I ask my mother that very conundrum she just threw at me, "So you are saying such fundamental knowledge that is part of magic was forgotten just like that over time?"
My mother nods her head, "Yes, as you know wizards and witches are practically still stuck in the Middle Ages just look at Owl Postal Service which came about around the Middle Ages and it is still being used till this day, you would think it is a perfect system if it was being used for hundreds of years but it is not since first of all, it is not safe at all since anyone if they wanted too they could intercept it if they choose too. Second of all, it is just too slow while on the other hand the muggles went from using birds just like us to using telephones and us, wizards and witches, are too arrogant to use it and our arrogance is blinding us from seeing how behind we are."
I nod to that, today's wizards and witches are so behind in the times while on the other hand, the muggles advance each and every day and I cannot help but worry for their future since I am now part of them.
"All in all, with the no advancement being made in the wizarding community plus the wars that keep happening on and off, wizards and witches started to not just stay stuck where they are but started to lose important knowledge over time."
My mother takes a deep breath after she finishes ranting on, I can tell the lack of advancements on the wizards and witches part irritates her but I just do not know why.
"Anyways let's get back to the topic at hand, Spell Models, are the rudimentary break up of a spell and each and every spell has a spell model backing it up. If you ever want to go far in magic you need to make your own arsenal of spells, to do that you must know how to make spells and for that you need to understand how to build a spell model."
"Moving on, to make a spell model is very complicated and time-consuming but you have Arithmancy to help you out. Once you are done with the spell build the spell model in your mind inside of using your imagination, with this method you can save yourself the hassle of coming up with something by yourself. Here let me show you the difference."
My mother grabbed her wand and spoke the word 'Lumos' then the tip of her wand lit up. "That right there was me using my imagination of a bright light, now see the difference when I use a spell model."
Again, my grabbed her wand and spoke the word 'Lumos' then the tip of her wand lit up, she looked at me and asked, "Can you guess what the difference was?"
I nod my head and answer back, "The light was a bit brighter, you cut the casting time by a few milliseconds, and I do not know since I cannot get a good read on your natural energy levels, but if I had to make an educated guess, I would think that you used less natural energy, correct me if I am wrong."
My mother smiles, "Good, good, you are correct I did use less natural energy and as you can see thanks to me using the spell model insade of my imagination I save myself much, and even if it looks very negligible in a death fight it can make all the difference."
I can agree to that, any advantage you have against your opponent is a plus. Anyways I cannot help but feel sadden for most of the wizards and witches in the wizarding world since most of them do not even put emphasizes on using imagination when casting a spell.
"Anyways we should get back to the topic at hand, you crafting your very own spell, but first let me show you an example of how to craft a spell so that you can have an idea of what you are getting into."
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
