| Oct 17, 2014 at 21:31 | comment | added | WizardKnight | The books reference single spells for single high-level acts. Alohomora is a great example of this. it's used to unlock doors, but different doors don't require different variations of the spell. I've read through the books multiple times and feel that the lack of specifics imply that the spell makes a broad 'IT' happen, but it's the intention of the spell-caster that specifies the more specific 'IT'. This is backed up by the fact that multiple wizards/witches can cast the same spells with different levels of success. Focus and intention being the only difference other than the wands | |
