Finding the Magic of the Holidays with a Magical Universe

Hogwarts legacy, a game that has had its share of negative talk maybe mostly because of the popular IP. The magic in this game and others like it makes me feel the holiday spell to catch. Fireplaces and floating books with cozy robes. Flying carriages like sleighs and magic as ancient as Christmas itself. Way back to the days of yule with cinnamon and dried oranges with cranberry tarts. Walking through the Harry Potter area in Universal with the snowy pointed rooftops with performers in beautiful red robes singing and dancing.

Spellfyre is an app game that is similar. It is a story just like that of Hogwarts world but the main character is not liked because of who their parents were, but hated. You are the child of a man named Dreadbane who tried to destroy the magic school. You have to prove yourself to be trusted amongst your peers. I like the backwards concept of trying to prove yourself after having a hate campaign on you possibly by someone that you were too young to even participate with the activities of.

There are potions to make and runes to find. Above is making a potion that stimulates your senses so that you can smell baked goods strongly. Your magic ability is connected to the emotion you pick so the "houses" are arranged in this way. I picked curiosity that was the color Orange. You learn spells and help others figure out new ways to understand the magic within them while fighting off what is called shades. They happen because if a mage stops being able to control their emotions connected to magic they burst into spellfyre and become a shade. They use spell blades instead of wands in this universe so old fashioned fighting is still an element too.

The moment above is from watching once of the connection you make named Irridessa swing in the magical greenhouse. Her name fits her as she glows all over. The plants shine like lights all around her. You also make firefly cakes with another friend there you become close with who is called a dirt mage because she is not a full mage like the muggles in the Potter universe. The beautiful image of her handing you a firefly even looks like pine trees in the background with flowers white as snow.

Flying presents and evergreens with holly that hangs itself. The magical music sounds like light sleigh bells and white snowy owls fly while there is ruins to search for lost artifacts, totems, and special wand additions. Floating candles in hallways and snow on top of castle grounds give a warm cozy feeling that makes me want to heat up a hot cocoa. A beautiful red train chugs across the screen on the Hogwarts game and cotton candy and gumballs dance in the Hogsmead area. Shopping is a true delight! There is all type of presents for your loved ones imaginable.

The forest is waiting with its cold twisting branches for exploration and each hallway twists and winds the stairs. The professors with white beards look like vintage Santa. Deer would definitely be able to fly in this realm especially with how many other interesting animals there are. Their fur probably helps you out somehow if you sew it into your cloak. Butterbeer is the perfect sweet drink and memory potions await for you to experience your best memories. Ice sculptures sit in the courtyard and cozy unexplored nooks wait within the walls. Clocks do more than keep up with time and the paintings would wish you a happy holiday.
