The Talents above are the shining beacons of the overall system, but there are plenty of passives you can choose to get like Evasion Absorption to build the Ancient Magic Meter or other masteries for a spell you like using.
Hogwarts Legacy becomes a manageable game once you have the right spells and Talents, so choose carefully.
