There are many brazier Merlin Trials in Hogwarts Legacy and each is solved in the same way. There are three braziers, each at a different height. When you light a brazier it begins burying into the ground. If any of the braziers fall underground before all three are lit, they are extinguished and you have to start the puzzle again.

This particular location is different because unlike many of the other brazier puzzles, Incendio, the fire spell you start with, is not enough as the range is too limited.
