Each spell has a core identity and belongs to a category. Some spells have a chance to advance or even change through the talent system as you spend talent points on them. There are over 20 slottable spells to choose from and many more practical ones that help with quests and exploration.

In Hogwarts Legacy, the Basic casts Deal minor damage to enemies. Basic attacks are the “filler” attacks, cost nothing but time, and you can use them in conjunction with spells to increase your combos. Combos generate ancient magic for massive damage.

You want to use these attacks when your spells are on cooldown or if you don’t know what else to do. This will keep your damage high with “time on target.” Also, basic attacks are used in various quest situations and puzzles.

When can I unlock the Basic casts?

Basic casts are unlocked from the beginning of the game
