== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* In ''[[Mahou Sensei Negima]]'', most spells are [[Magical Incantation]], although Pactios seem to require [[Geometric Magic]]. There are also some [[Magic Prerequisite]] spells, which require that the magic of [[The World Tree]] is active before they can be used.
 
 
== [[Fan Works]] ==
* Hermione Granger becomes the Wizarding World's pre-eminentpreeminent expert in spell design and innovation in the ''[[Harry Potter]]'' fanfic ''[[The Arithmancer]]''.
 
 
== [[Literature]] ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter]]'', most magic is cast with [[Magic Wand|magic wands]], waved in [[Magical Gesture|just the right way]], [[Magical Incantation|while speaking in]] [[Canis Latinicus|psuedo-Latin.]].
** The potions, however, are pure [[Eye of Newt]].
* In ''Ethshar'', wizardry combines [[Eye of Newt]], [[Magical Gesture|magical gestures]], and [[Magical Incantation|magical incantations]].
** And [[Magic Wand|magic wands]] (the Athame, a dagger with part of the wizard's soul in it).
Line 53 ⟶ 51:
* In [[Piers Anthony]]'s ''Apprentice Adept'' series, each of the powerful wizards in Phaze has their own form of Spell Construction; the Blue Adept uses [[Magic Music]], the Yellow Adept uses [[Eye of Newt]], White uses [[Geometric Magic]], Green uses [[Magical Gesture]], etc.
* Aversion: In Feist's ''[[The Riftwar Cycle]]'' the most powerful ''magician's'' would argue with you (if they'd tend to) since people such as nakor or Pug know rather well magic is just tricks and only idiots need chanting and those weird symbols others keep drawing.
