3/23/2023 0 Comments Broomstick witchMagic broomsticks that are owned by one person for a very long time ( Miss Hardbroom had hers for twenty-five years) develop a strange kind of intuition about their owners. However, if the broomstick is hovering a good few feet above the waves, it will be strong enough to pull you along behind on water-skis, a sport called Broomstick water-skiing. For this reason it is difficult to keep a broomstick stable directly above water. When broomsticks are near the water their magic powers are far less efficient- they don’t work so brilliantly when their magic is damp. It took Mildred several weeks of falling off and crashing before she could ride her broomstick reasonably well, and even then she isn't that good at it. The difficult part is balancing if you lean a little too far to one side you could easily overbalance, in which case you would either fall off or find yourself hanging upside-down and then you would just have to hold on with your skirt over your head until a friend came to your rescue. Once in the air you can make the broom do almost anything by saying, ‘Right! Left! Stop! Down a bit!’ and so on. Then you sit on it, give it a sharp tap, and away you fly. To ride a broom, you first order the broom to hover, and it hovers lengthways above the ground. If the spell is not de-activated, anyone can use the broom or object, even if they are not a witch or wizard. Mildred, Maud and Enid use the spell on toothbrushes, yard-brooms, a dustpan and brush, a hairbrush and even a feather duster. The spell can be used turn any kind of brush into a flying object you just have to get the measurements right for the spell to work. The spell for enchanting Broomsticks to fly is taught in the fourth year at Cackle's Academy. She found that the broomstick was good for flying, and the idea caught on. Edna leapt into the air to avoid it, and enchanted her broom to escape. Legened has it that Edna was sweeping up one day when a rival witch attacked her with a thunderbolt. Before Edna, witches used whatever was sitting around to fly on. Flying Broomsticks were invented by Edna Farthingwand.
