CHRM-101 Lesson 1- HISTORY

Chapter 4

Magic was used back in ancient Greece and Egypt protect valuable things like tombs. The spells used for these are much like the spells used in gringotts today. Wands were first made in 382 B.C.E by the Ollivanders. Before the craft was mastered by the Ollivanders and other manufactures, they had a chance of exploding. Around 1000 C.E the wizards and muggles separated, and 400 years after we separated us wizards made new forms of government. In the 1600s wizards and witches were a part of witch burning, but they protected themselves with flame freezing charms. This time was known as the International Statue of Secrecy in 1689! World of Wizards and magic only existed in fairly tales for muggles. The only time a wizard/witch under 17 can cast a spell outside of boundaries is if someone is in danger that puts their life at stake.The ministry of magic can only trace the location the magic was done at, not who did it. At first, wands were just focusing items before the modern wand was created. The core is what controls the level of magic. A wand-lighting charm can help assist in many situations first found by Levina Monkstanley in 1772. Used to easily vote in government. Once the wand is let go or a wand extinguishing charm is used, the light will go off.
