It does sort of happen magically, I think? You just do it, and then do it some more, and then look back and realize how much better at it you've gotten...that's sort of like magic? Granted, not as nice as it would be to have an actually spell. Expecto Novelum! Or maybe that would be a potion? Writus Felicis? Next time you're in a crowd of wizards, see if someone has tips on that, would you?
And goodness yes, the details. There's a bit where Draco's looking out his window at night and I did, in fact, go check the phases of the moon to find out how dark it would've been. But I do think it adds something! Also that you're not nearly so slapdash as you might pretend. (Or if you are, you're an excellent slapdasher and I'd like lessons, please.)
