A wandless practice of physically embodying spells, one casts through physical expression. Stamina, dexterity, agility and emotion are all important factors in the success of a spell.
Studies have found that it has another, more subtle effect when there is an audience.
Conjuring the Elements
- Fire is the most popular and easiest to produce, but sustaining it is hard and doing anything with it is difficult.
- Earth and water are easiest to control.
- There is a very specialized subdivision from East Asia that is focused on controlling air and using fans.
Practitioners
Witches and wizards must keep in shape to maintain their level of spellcasting. For some races (such as Veela), the ability is inherent, intricately tied to their species' brand of magic.
Brazil in particular is known for its trademark blend of defensive magic and capoeira.
Competitions
- Formal competitions are talent shows, geared toward the purpose of showcasing a dancer or group's skill without directly facing off against another. Demonstrations primarily consist of charms, although elemental conjuration is okay. Battles/face-offs are regarded as a matter of rebellious youth, and are frowned upon for the risk they may pose to innocent passers-by.
