The witch then sweeps their hand, which creates multiple identical spell circles. Another method of casting multiple iterations of a spell is by creating a single spell circle, then slapping it with the palm of the hand. A witch can also create additional spell circles from their existing active circle by doing a pulling apart gesture, which causes the active circle to briefly stretch before forming an exact copy.

The circle can be drawn with a fingertip, a sweeping gesture of the hands, a tracing motion with the feet, a training wand, or the end of a witch's staff. However, this version of retracing circles appears to be rather difficult and requires great focus in maintaining, suggesting it is an advanced method. This is usually done with two hands so as to not break the circle and has been shown to be possible with multiple circles at once, such as three, and the fingers need not necessarily trace the active spell circle themselves, merely make repeated circular gestures in the air in front of the caster.

Some spells, such as certain illusion spells shown by Gus, require the circle to be repeatedly retraced, either to charge up the spell before casting or in order to maintain the spell. The size of the circle drawn determines the power of the spell the larger the spell circle, the more powerful the spell. To create a spell circle, a witch simply needs to draw a glowing circle in the air, from which the desired spell is cast.
