Well, if you have ever made a wish over birthday candles, tossed a lucky penny into a fountain, wished upon a star or blown a dandelion, then you've already cast a spell
A spell is anything performed with magical intention; it is a ritual action performed with the intention of bringing about a desired outcome or to influence the outcome of a situation
The effectiveness of a spell depends on several factors. The intention of focus of the practitioner, the use of the correct correspondences (herbs, candle colour, crystals etc.), even the phase of the moon and the planetary alignments and the day of the week
