Line 44:
* [[Experience Meter]]: Appears as a ring, around your photo/image on the main screen, and around your current level when gaining experience after encounters. Rankings for the various Families of Foundables have horizontal progress bars that are only visible in the Registry, or when gaining rank experience.
* [[Exposition Break]]: The pop-up passages (called "storyboards") that appear when you achieve certain goals, which advance the plot in the form of conversations with various individuals.
* [[First-Person Ghost]]: The only part of your character you see outside of the map is the tip of your wand.
Line 50:
* [[Fixed Camera]]: All actions outside of the map and the management screens are presented in a first-person point of view, with the camera (that of the device you're playing on) serving as your "eyes". For reasons fundamental to the nature of an AR game, this cannot be changed.
* [[Hidden Object Game|Fragmented Hidden Object Game]]: Sortakinda. Some of the Foundables scattered around the world, while appearing to be complete objects, are actually magically-created fragments. You have to find all their parts -- anywhere from 3 to
* [[Hide Your Children]]: Averted, interestingly enough. Some of the Foundables are time-shifted versions of the ''Harry Potter'' characters (from the period of the books) -- even as you speak with their adult selves on a regular basis. Lampshaded at least once when the late-thirties Harry confides in you how disconcerting seeing his teenaged self is.
Line 87:
* [[Point of Interest]]: The game has three varieties:
** Inns, where players can dine and regain Spell Energy, as well as deploy Dark Detectors to attract high-risk Traces.
** Greenhouses, where they can find random potions ingredients or grow their own. (And very infrequently get a little Spell Energy, too.)
** Fortresses, where they can face difficult challenges for high rewards.
* [[Product Placement]]: Some inns and fortresses are ''sponsored'', meaning that the establishment in their real-world location has paid to become [[Point of Interest]]. Known sponsors include select AT&T stores, and Simon Malls, Mills, and Premium Outlets malls. Sponsored inns grant more Spell Energy on the average, and sponsored fortresses offer more and tougher opponents and higher rewards for defeating them. (Allegedly; at least one [https://jibsentertainment.com/2019/07/26/how-sponsored-fortresses-compare-to-regular-fortresses-in-wizards-unite/ analysis] indicates the benefits/rewards of sponsored fortresses are not nearly as great as promised.) Sponsored locations have a QR code and a sponsor banner instead of the Google Maps photo of the location; special offers for game players appear in a floating storyboard panel.
* [[Repeatable Quest]]: Even when you have recovered a Foundable, you won't stop re-encountering it.
