https://youtu.be/6dYX-h-5HDQ?t=3m35s .. The link will take you directly to the fun part. There are jets of light and sometimes its just a burst of light with a bang, etc .. you guys know what i'm talking about, i hope. Well, in the movies spells in general seem rather slow.

In my opinion magic hits its target as soon as you finish your incantation and sometimes even before that. I'm not going in depth here of how i think magic and different incantations used by different people behave, my purpose is just to share this video and give you guys some sort of visual inspiration. Thanks

Edit: I know there is a thread to post links. The reason i made a new one is because i find it easier to look for what i'm looking for. Whenever i use the search feature i look for titles only, then i go through all the threads that show up, i often read every single post in those threads and i get a lot of new ideas and inspiration. So perhaps this thread will help somebody else in the future. Anyway, feel free to post how you think magic manifests itself.
