Alice Hoffman Practical Magic Series Novels & Stories

“Oh my stars.” I openly gaped at the magic that was swirling around. A mere lightshow. A low grade ability that even I can do flawlessly. Nonetheless, I believe it was still something to marvel at. Magic was a sight to see. No matter how small. “Amazing isn’t it?” Sungul grinned proudly, “To know that you’ll soon have a familiar in your grasp.”

Lark said then he made a motion of his finger towards a chest box and magically it opened. Earth and Sky both saw the process and couldn’t help but be amazed. One of the lectures was about chanting magic to conjure the power but what Lark did was without any form of a chant. A display of a high level of skill. “Go on and collect the remaining materials for the ceremony, it’s all in the box, then you may leave and go to the final stage and wait for the ceremony,” he instructed unbothered by the amazed look on their faces. Earth and Sky went and looked at the box and they are shocked to see the number of materials inside it contains. This is practically cheating at its finest. They each took o

It's working! Al sprinkled more healing water all over the surface of the black magic circle that locked Keefe's body. The purplish-black mist hissed more and more from the surface of the black magic circle. Al tried to sprinkle healing water on Keefe's body so that his body recovered a little. The pressure from the purplish-black mist rising from the black magic circle that almost broke was getting stronger.

When we turned, we were astonished to see another splitting image of the Seer seated in front of us, also standing by the door. Was this some kind of joke? “What’s going on? Do you have a twin?” Alpha Zane asked the Seer seated in front of us who now had a smirk on her face. Fear suddenly began to creep into my body as I sensed that something was amiss. “I began to sense magic when I got in here and only a few minutes ago did I finally know that it was a magic of illusion. The Seer by the door is the real Seer and not this one seated in front of us,” Maggie announced, making us all curse.

"Now... now... let's pick up where I left last night. Magic for mind control... Dry a flower of spider lily, and a spider cob, and boil them together. Repeat the subject's name thrice as you add three hair strands from the subject." 'Ehhh? Seriously, this book is ridiculous. Is magic always this weird? What an author... tsk! the author probably published this book to mess with the minds of desperate people,'' says Aileen's mind, but sooner contradicts herself by thinking, 'However, I wouldn't know for sure if it's a real thing or not if I would not try it.' Aileen thought it would be stupid of her to have hope in something little better than a fairytale. But she thought that her options were

The truth was that I was unaware of what was going on, so I lifted my shoulders. "I don't know," I admitted. "But it's possible that you do." "The people here must be very strong, because only the Goddess may be able to summon protective magic of this intensity," Amalia explained, and I realized that of the two sisters, she was the one who was more supportive of magic. Suddenly Alice's scent flooded my nostrils, and I smiled—something that made Teo give me a sharp look. "Don't get out of the car unless I ask you to," I instructed, and they all nodded.

Sort of, anyway. “Oh! Hey, Ophelia.” He smiled, pushing his glasses up the bridge of his nose. “We’re practicing household charms today! Did you study the worksheets Professor Merriweather gave us?” I nodded, then sighed. It wasn’t that I didn’t enjoy being partnered with Henry, I’d just been so agitated as of late. It didn’t help that any time he used magic, it exploded from him like an excited puppy dog. The only problem was rarely did it do as he commanded.

" Begrudgingly they lined up to have their scrapes mended. The seven of us watched in awe as Selene revealed more of her magic abilities to us. After Selene cleaned the large gash across Cassius' arm, she hovered her hand over the wound and whispered a few words. A warm glow emitted from her hand and right before our eyes, the cut began to mend. Cassius flexed and rotated his arm. He gave Selene a look of admiration. "It feels good as new. Thank you, Miss Selene," Cassius said. It wasn't long until the remaining wounds of the others were healed. Arlo watched the entire time with a pout. "Aw, man. I want to be healed by magic," he muttered. Sage gave him a playful shove. "You are such a baby,

"No!” Hazel screamed out loud and fell to the ground as she watched Joan run into Liam's arms. Where did all her plans go wrong? Why! Why did this happen? “No!” She yelled and started to dark magic spells but Johnathan and Alice were on her without wasting a second. Alice brought both of her hands forward and channelled all the energy of light she had in her entire body towards Hazel, while Jonathan castes a spell to subdue her powers so she wouldn't be able to use her powers to the full extent.

I didn't have the first clue and a small whine escaped from me as I tried to figure it out. Derek understood my dilemma, "Just relax, take a deep breath, and concentrate hard on being human. The magic should do it automatically." I took a deep breath and tried to picture myself as I looked in the mirror. I put all my will into that thought and concentrated on becoming human. It took me a long moment, but I felt the world begin to melt and shimmer around me. I ended up crouched on the table completely naked.
