What are Brilliant Traces in Harry Potter Wizards Unite Brilliant Traces only appear during a Brilliant Event. Just like with regular Traces, selecting one will take you to a Foundable that needs to be freed from a Confoundable. Brilliant Traces are purple, with a purple beam of light running through them, and have an exclamation mark on their centre.

You'll only receive a certain number of Restricted Section Books per Brilliant Event, so make your choices wisely. Before beginning your wizarding adventure, you'll want to join a Hogwarts House in Harry Potter Wizards Unite. After that you'll need to learn how to battle, so you can compete in Wizarding Challenges at Fortresses or how to use Greenhouses, so that you can perform Potion Master Notes.

Drinking Exstimulo Potions will also help you perform a Great Spellcast, by temporarily improving the rating of your casts. Read through what each Strategic Spell does, before you spend your Restricted Section Books, because these precious tomes can only be used once. If you have any Silver Keys left, then this Brilliant Event is the perfect time to use them on the special Portkey Portmanteaus you'll find.
