How Does Ancient Magic Work In Hogwarts Legacy?
Ancient Magic is an Essential Spell in Hogwarts Legacy that allows for incredible burst damage in a single instanced spell that must recharge to cast again. Think of it as a longer cooldown that requires combinations of spells and basic attacks to charge. Once you reach a certain level on your bar, you’re able to fire off an instant attack for the most damage in the game. This build’s goal is to use talents, spells, and armor traits to optimize our damage of Ancient Magic and the recharge time to use it more frequently.
Later in the game, you can unlock a mini-game puzzle with Ancient Magic Hotspot. After completing these puzzles, you can unlock more Ancient Magic meters, allowing you to use the ability more often. You can also save up your meter before a big epic boss fight, then use the skill back to back and clear the room of any enemies.
Spell Combinations Explained
Expelliarmus + Ancient Magic Throw = disarm their weapon and smash this with it for massive damage with no cooldown.
Levioso + Bombarda = launch up in the arm, use basic attacks to charge Ancient Magic and knock of the ledge.
Important Talents Explained
Ancient Magic Throw Expertise (required level 5)– Ancient Magic Throw catches and throws disarmed enemy weapons.
Protego Absorption (required level 5) Successful protego blocks will contribute to the Ancient Magic Meter.
Evasion Absorption (required level 16)– successfully evading an unlockable attack with dodge contributes to the ancient magic meter).
Basic Cast Airborne Absorption (required level 16)– basic cast impacts on airborne enemies contribute more to the ancient magic meter.

Leveling Progression for The Hogwarts Legacy Ancient Magic Build
The following list includes all talents and levels for The Hogwarts Legacy Ancient Magic Build. Remember, you may not have all the spells at the listed level, so be flexible with your selection. This level selection will optimize the type of build we are going for, but feel free to swap around as you see fit.
Tools, Plant, and Potions Explained
Potions and plants arrive early in the game and are strong aids in combat. Once you unlock the room of requirement and beast taming through the main story quest, you can farm many materials, making the mats much easier to obtain.
Armor Traits Explained
An important thing to note about Armor traits is that they are multiplicative. Meaning that they get stronger the more you equip your armor. You have 6 slots and generally want all 6 to be uniform for maximum results. In this build, you can use 3 Focus and 3 Magic for quicker recovery or stack all 6 for massive recovery or massive damage. Hogwsmead Brood and Peck has materials for sale if your beast taming isn’t up to a high enough level.
Combat & Rotation
Now that you have a general idea of the build, it will look like this.
Rinse and repeat!
