In this game, players are treated to a wide variety of spells they can learn, upgrade, and use. A particularly useful spell is Incendio, which you can learn from professor Hecat during the main story. Before you can attempt learning this new spell, you’ll need to be at least level 3. If you’ve been keeping up with quests and gathering collectibles when you spot them, then this really shouldn’t be much of an issue. To get you started, you’ll receive a couple of assignments from Professor Hecat.

While you’re talking to Lucan, you can also ask to practice your dueling on a training dummy. Unlike many games that just give you something to hit, Lucan will actually guide you through timed spell combinations. This will help you hone your skills for dueling and other forms of combat. Take every opportunity you can to practice these combinations. You never know when they may help you in the heat of battle.
