No wands?

[KnIf0r^TITAN]

Something for Potter fans, i've only seen the films but there is a part of game where a one of the first girls you team up with tells you that people can spellcast without a wand and using a wand does not make magic more powerful...... so why tf would anyone use a wand? sounds like using a wand is gimping yourself because surely if you become really good without a wand you would always have your weapon on you at all times.

[FrozenStar]

Wands have catalysts that make magic stronger, more precise, and more reliable.

Only a handful of wizards with great skill can use magic without wands reliably.

In my headcannon she was only talking big because she doesnt know better and doesnt know that many spells yet. If she wasnt, then Voldemort would have wandless Avada Kedavra'd Harry's butt to oblivion and Expelliarmus would be useless.

[Mr. Redhand]

because its very difficult to spell cast without a wand, just like its very difficult to spell cast without speech.

Everyone can run, but only a small amount can qualify for track and field, and even a fraction of that can make it to the Olympics. Thats how many wizards can cast magic without speech then further still without a wand.

Professor Fig at the start uses Accio on the portkey without a wand too.

But he is a professor and a well practiced wizard. Kids using wandless magic so controlled and potent is absurd.

Technically, wandless magic is only difficult because it takes a tremendous amount of willpower and focus to control the magic you are casting. The wand just acts as a focus rod.

I don't understand the issue with natty saying she can use wandless magic. She's nearly at the end of her school career and has been taught specifically this skill her whole life, and it's not like she tells you she can take on Harlow and all his guys without a wand. She just says she can do it and that wandless magic isn't weak.

No.. the magic without wands are stronger down in Uganda, it is just that Europeans are so weak, that they can´t really cast proper magic without the catalyst (wand)

WE WUZ WIZKANGS AND SHIIIIEEEEEE....

Natty is the most powerful magic viewler at Hogwarts a long with her mother.
As I said above, Europeans are just very weak, they don´t know how to use magic properly like those in the African continent, that is also where magic is from, its the source of everything.

A student could most likely have trapped Voldemort before he could do any damage, if the student had been from Uganda

Man just say you know nothing about the lore. You're just embarrassing yourself.

You have obviously not read the changes to the lore, since 2016. that is certain.
The origin of magic stems from Africa.

I always used Natty for the crossed wands etc. I found her way more powerful.
Both her and Sebastian are hollow characters however.

I love her! she reminds me of my actual best friend in real life :) also she didn't hesitate to stick by me on several occasions also i love her lore i only wish we could visit Uagadou because from what my bestie has told me african people generally have a deeper spiritual connection to their lands which is believable cos in my country germany no one really has a connection to nature or spirituality like that we are more into science and even in 1800s british isles it was becoming more industrialised so it makes sense we use wands to channel our magic.

to me so the fact they don't use wands in africa just makes even more sense to me considering africa is practically the centre of the earth and in the HP lore magic always is strongest at the centre of its origin wherever those may be.

this will always make those who are uncomfortable with diversity feel bad or weird lol that i don't know why but that's their problem i suppose.

[Ereh]

Lmao, Natty is insufferable. The moment I was able to ignore her sidequests I did.

"My school is bigger and prettier and we can do anything because it's in Africa".

Ah get out already, we all know why you even exist as a character, just like Sirona.

[Mr. Bufferlow]

So, no one else saw the whole wand conversation with Natty as a "British Humor" phallic joke by the Devs? I mean she goes on later about how she is now motivated to stop the bad guys because of what bad people did to her community in her home country.

I actually thought she came off as more authentic because she had pride in her country and wizarding school but was no shy to admit they had a lot of problems as well.

Nat could have been a decent character, but when she spoke I instantly thought of Whisper from Fable and I became annoyed when ever she tried to boast, not as bad mind you but once I thought it, it would not go away lol

"Tremendous amount of willpower and focus to control the magic you are casting"

Said someone who never read the second chapter of the first Harry Potter book or saw the first 10 minutes of the first movie where HP effortlessly uses wandless magic.

Or how the house elves have very powerful wandless magic.

And yeah Natty was insufferable. If SSH African magicians were so numerous and so learned and powerful then how is it that just a handful of Europeans effectively conquered all of SSH Africa? Oh right because they aren't learned or powerful. Writers need to understand that they cannot claim something which directly contradicts the knowledge people have. This leads to a break in suspension of disbelief and thus causes the audience to be shoved out of the fiction and back into the real world.

Just because you can write something does not mean you should write that thing.
