Through the Motions is an Urban Fantasy Web Serial Novel written by Walter Williams (a.k.a. Willy Four Eyes).It tells the story of Deanna Richardson, a young artist from a quiet suburban town called Sharonia. After visiting a nearby consignment shop to sell one of her paintings, she runs into a young witch-in-training who goes by the name "Sol" (not a Stellar Name; it's short for "Marisol"). When Sol asks for help activating a new magic wand, Deanna accepts the offer, and is eventually given the wand as a gift once they discover Deanna was accidentally "bonded" to the wand during their exchange, preventing Sol from using it. Driven by curiosity and an artist's innate thirst for inspiration, Deanna strives to learn more about her new powers and the ins and outs of magic in general.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The first chapter was posted on February 15, 2019, and can be read at the author's website, with mirrors on Royal Road, Archive of Our Own, FictionPress, and Wattpad.The first volume of the story, covering Chapters 1-21, was finished on December 5, 2019. A second volume chronicling Deanna's attempts to manage her new hobby, her art, and her work and social lives, started in January 2020 but went on an unannounced hiatus in late February 2020 as the author's other writing project, The Ghost of Ochs, gained in popularity. On November 11, 2021, the author discontinued the story due to lack of ideas.

De-Power Zone: Areas protected by the "SCRB" (Spell Containment and Reduction Boundary) system, such as the store where Deanna works and the magic store where she bought Sol's wand, prevent anyone within the boundary from using magic. The system also nullifies any outside enchantments.

Awesome McCoolname: Lillian's last name is Silverthorne, an appropriate name for a young woman who runs her own private Wizarding School. She is very proud of her family name, and her parents would only bless her marriage when her fianceé told them he'd let her keep her last name.

Beginner's Luck: Deanna, who had never seen magic before meeting Sol, is able to (partially) charge Sol's magic wand by doing her own version of the magic dance. Subverted in that neither of the girls was aware at the time that they had to touch the wand's Power Crystal to unlock its potential.
