CHRM-101 (#2) Spellcasting Basics

Is the visualization just one of many tools for concentrating on your magic or is it... how should I put this... real? The idea is, is it just a way to concentrate on your power or is it the only way? Are there others?

Does Levicorpus count a variant on the levitation charm? (Nevermind, it does, as stated in the textbook.) If none of the other spells work on people, why does it? And what was the magic used at the 422nd world cup, by the death eater forces there? It was certainly not only Levicorpus, as they had more control over the bodies than that.

Professor, your lecture contradicts the book. I made a chart!

Edit: Oops, I mixed up my textbooks. Frankly, I think the book I read makes more sense than the other, but oh well...

 So, testing... Wingardium Leviosa! *points the wand at her phone* Well, that was pathetic. Maybe I would try it on something lighter. *quickly makes a paper aeroplane* Wingardium... Leviosa! I think it might have shuddered a bit! *tries again, with a wider sweep on the swish* Okay, it moved, but only because I sent a draft at it. *and again, closer to properly this time, with a very vigorous flick* *the aeroplane shoots across the room and embed itself half an inch into the wall*. Oh for crying out loud! 

...half an hour and about a hundred tries later, the room is littered with paper aeroplanes. 

*gathers them all in a pile* INCENDIO!
