#drinkable spell

[bendjamintheinkcambionandfamily]

I wanted to share this and see if others might try it and give me some feedback. It works for me, but I want to know how it works for others, so if you use it and wanna let me know what you think, I'd be grateful but no pressure to do that though?

The Potion of Succubae Seduction is designed to amplify the natural allure and perceived attractiveness of the individual consuming it. By partaking in this potion and reciting the accompanying incantation, I find a temporary increase in my own confidence, beauty, and charm. However, it is essential to understand that this potion does not force any individual to love you. Instead, it serves to expedite and enhance the existing potential for affection and sexual attraction that may already exist. It is meant to raise the levels of desire of those around you and increase sweetness towards you. The more often you drink this, the more potent it is in my experience. I drink this at least once a week. If you work with Succubi or Incubi, this makes a great offering too!

This combines chocolate syrup and hot cocoa for a delightful boost of joy and love energies. Chocolate represents warmth and intimacy, it helps cultivate relationships and ignites passion in romantic encounters. The sweet essence of honey enhances sweetness and attraction, drawing love and admiration towards you, while the nourishing peanut butter provides sustained energy and empowers you to feel secure in your abilities. Adding vibrant broccoli for personal growth and prosperity, while carrots improve insight, intuition and clarity, helping you navigate social interactions with confidence. Spinach enhances sexual energy, passion, and fertility and the lovely Strawberries enhance your ability to connect on both physical and emotional levels with others, boosting love and passion, enhancing your ability to connect on both physical and emotional levels with others. Water and ice ensures your ingredients blend smoothly, while adding an aspect of flow and adaptability, allowing you to navigate intimate relationships with grace and fluidity.

*(Milk is optional in this. Milk when added to this potion is meant to amplify feelings of comfort/emotional safety, foster healthy romantic & sexual relationships, as well as increase the chances of possible conception. It makes it more likely for those you sleep with to develop intense romantic feelings, where the original version of this potion using water does not. Just wanted to add this in case that's y'all's cup of tea.)

To make it, combine the following ingredients together in a blender until you achieve a silky, smooth consistency, adding more water or ingredients as needed for desired consistency and flavor:

Chocolate syrup

Hot chocolate

Honey

Peanut butter

Broccoli

Carrots

Spinach

Strawberries

Ice cubes

Water or *Milk(Optional)

As you blend it, envision a ball of red and pink pulsing energy around your sacral area, gathering it and visualize it channeling up your body into your hands and then into the potion as you recite this incantation:

“With every sip I do imbibe,

Desire me, oh lover mine,

Sweetness, strength, & grace combined,

Lust I am, Lust am I,

Rich & smooth my magic flows,

In my presence passions grow,

Oh so sweet, Oh such delights,

I will taste in bed tonight,

Seductive power, flow through me,

I am allure, allure is me,

So I will It, So mote it be.”

And that's it. Drink it down and embrace your sexy self! Have fun!

I drank it myself and am feeling hot af❤️

🍓🍋 Strawberry Moon Slushy 🍋🍓

I was looking into making a beverage for the Summer Solstice when I remembered a drink I had on my birthday and thought I'd recreate it!

This is a strawberry, basil, and mint frozen lemonade but given that I made it with the coming Strawberry Moon in mind, I decided that "Strawberry Moon Slushy" sounds so much better.

This recipe makes about 2 servings.

Ingredients

2 cups of FROZEN strawberries

1 cup lemon juice (fresh squeezed)

3/4 cup of sugar

Basil leaves

Mint leaves

1/4 cup of ice

Shot of your fav gin or vodka (optional)

Instructions:

Get your ingredients ready and grab the blender.

Squeeze the lemons. The lemons I used gave me roughly 9 tbs of lemon juice.

Pour in your frozen strawberries, lemon juice and ice. Blend until slushy. If you're adding booze, add it in here. One or two shots depending on your preference.

Add in 3/4 cup of sugar. If you're like me and you love it sour then only do 1/2 cup sugar. You could also substitute sugar for agave or honey, using a few tbs of either and then adding more to taste.

Add your basil and mint to taste. I used four large leaves of each but you can use more or less!

Top it off with a garnish, either a strawberry, a lemon slice, or a mint sprig!

Notes:

If you'd rather use premade lemonade, use 1 cup of lemonade and you can skip the sugar.

You can use this mixture to make popsicles if you have a mold for it!

Fresh mint and basil works best but if you only have dried only use about a 1/2 tsp at first and then add more to taste.

Magical Associations:

This is a great drink for the Summer solstice because the following full moon the next day is called the Strawberry Moon! This would be a great spell for self-love or attraction.

Tip: Imbue your beverage with magic and create a drinkable spell!

Strawberries are associated with love, good luck, and fortune.

Basil is associated with wealth and prosperity.

Mint is associated with abundance and healing.

Lemons are associated with the sun, happiness, and cleansing.

Innocent Intimacy. — Micah Bell/Reader

a/n: let my boy be vulnerable for once!!! he literally turns into the biggest softie around people he truly loves i dont make the rules!!

words: ~1.5k | Tumblr exclusive!!!

Micah Bell loves—and prefers—being direct, but can't help feeling a deep closeness to innocent, pure touches and gestures.

Micah loves to wake up with you sleeping on top of him, your weight on his chest and abdomen, how your knees squish into his sides and your arms lazily wrap around his neck or hang off his torso. How you gently and slowly breathe into his chest or the crook of his neck, depends on where you are—and especially how he gets to kiss your head 'good morning' in return to the gestures.

Micah laughs when you hook your pinky finger onto his and tug him along with you somewhere, carefully looking at your laced hands and making sure they stay linked at the little fingers you have glued to one-another, and he knows damn well he'd let you lead him hell and back, if it meant holding your body, hands, etc.

Micah feels a comfortable array of butterflies in his stomach when you hold eye-contact with him from across the camp or campfire, during jobs or when in bed with him. He loves to look deeply into your gorgeous irises, getting lost in them when you look at him, and your ever-beautiful smile making your eyes squint in the cutest way. He feels like he's under your magic spell, when he looks into your siren eyes, deceiving and hypnotising him.

Micah always looks forward to you in his lap. Your personal, reserved seat at the fire being that familiar beige denim on his thighs. He loves sharing a drink with you, indirectly getting a taste of your lips when you pass him the bottle, lipstick marks just barely, faintly visible on it. He likes how you squeeze an arm around him, how it gets tighter when you laugh at someone's joke. He likes to slip his hand around to your waist, your hips and all over your sides, really—to feel his rough and calloused fingertips go under your shirt and to brush your soft, almost silky skin underneath them. He loves keeping his digits on the cold beer bottle you share, just to put them on your warm body, watch you jolt and scold him, just to hear that beautifully adorable laugh escape your lips. Music to his ears. Your soft thighs perched over his—a bottle between you two—your gorgeous face looking at him.

Micah absolutely adores to watch you leave his tent after spending the night—in his clothes. Sometimes, it's his shirt if you can't find yours under the pile you make the night prior; sometimes it's his neckerchief, to hide an array of hickeys he likes to leave clear on your neck; sometimes even his pants if you're too lazy to squeeze into your jeans, much more preferring the loose fit of his trousers on you. How you'd sometimes look; standing in his tent opening with nothing but his red undershirt, steaming coffee in your hand which you always drank while piping hot, whereas Micah's always had to be almost cold to be drinkable—which you knew, because you'd always walk up after he woke up with his own coffee, letting it sit outside the tent to cool under the wind before handing it to you, just to crawl back into bed with him while he finished it.

Micah likes the feeling of your soft hands on his rough skin after a long day; when you offer him a massage to relieve the tension in his muscles. He feels your added weight on his lower back when you straddle it, feels your hands gently yet affectively dig into his back, shoulders and sides, feeling your knuckles prod at his muscles while you chuckled at the array of relieved noises and groans Micah lets out, usually never getting to do these types of things, either because he'd be too busy to, or because he couldn't find it in him to care enough about it all, but your massages could really do miracles, especially on his always sore and tense body.

Micah can take care of himself, but he loves those rare moments where you agree to take a bath with him. Skin on skin, intimate yet powerfully connecting. His hands rubbing soap over your body while you wash his hair, giggling and chuckling like the biggest clowns in the East. His hands knew every crevice, curve and surface of your skin; your whole body, in fact. He knew just where you liked to be touched, where the best spots to scratch were, where you always scolded him for pinching or playfully smacking you, knowing he'd always get hit back—but it was worth it in the end, when he'd hear your giggle fill the empty saloon bathroom as you made him lean his head back to rinse his messy hair out.

Micah was no stranger to bad hair days, but he always made sure you knew he appreciated how you'd recommend him hair products while using your own to try and get his to look good on a bad hair day—'bad hair day' being almost every day. You brushed it, usually sitting behind him somewhere outside, if the weather was good—if not, then it was your tent and bed. You'd talk about anything and everything, Micah occasionally stopping to wince when you'd brush over a part that was very matted or such. He relished in every scalp massage you gave him when you'd apply different hair masks and creams that made yours look as good as always—and smell even better. He loved to smell it, it was just so you. After finishing up, you'd often do something silly like braid a few strands, two small braids on each side of his face which he took out the first few times, and now sometimes leaves in for days.

I missed Micah fluff, I've just been either writing depressing shit or smut about him recently and I really needed some good o' fluff <3

Persimmon Spell To Cultivate Hope & Positive Changes (created by Velvet Rose)

Spell Purpose: To Cultivate Hope And Be A Catalyst For Positive Changes

WHY THE PERSIMMON TREE?: Persimmon trees are deciduous trees, meaning change is common for them as the seasons pass. They’re leaves change color and drop off every Autumn and Winter, but Autumn and Winter is also when they produce many beautiful fruits. The secret of Persimmon is hidden inside the fruit. If you cut open a persimmon of the Fuyu variety there is a hidden star shape inside. As some of you might know, throughout cultures and all through history, the star is a symbol of hope in darkness. Our very planet relies on a star (the sun) for so much abundance and seasonal goodness. Use this spell and the rich symbolism of the Persimmon tree as a guide and hopeful spirit in your hardest life struggles.

SUPPLIES:

-One Ripe Persimmon fruit

-One dead persimmon leaf

-A knife for cutting fruit (whatever type you feel comfortable wielding)

-Your voice

-A small baggie or drawstring pouch to fit in your purse or pocket

-A quiet place where you will be undisturbed

-A small amount of drinkable sun water

-Do this spell at dawn for an extra boost in its power

INSTRUCTIONS:

-Step 1: Gather your supplies listed above, and find a quiet place to do this spell.

-Step 2: Cut the Ripe persimmon in half (Horizontally, so that you dont cut through the stem and also so that you reveal the star shape inside)

-Step 3: Sprinkle the sun water onto the exposed star in the cut open fruit and charge the fruit with your voice, holding it close and saying these words. “Hope prevails through dusk and dawn, as nature’s star is carved and drawn. Fruit of hope instill in me, all your lovely energy.”

-Step 4: Mindfully eat the piece of persimmon you have cut with the star on it.

-Step 5: When your done eating that piece, say “thank you spirit of the persimmon tree, for your nurturing energy!”

-Step 6: Now hold the dead persimmon leaf in your left hand. Whisper five times “You have seen change and so shall I. Positive change I can’t deny!” Five is a number of change, therefore its a great number to work with.

-Step 7: If you can, imagine a gold circle of light going around you clockwise five times as you hold the leaf close to your heart or head (depending on if its a mental or emotional change you want).

-Step 8: Open your eyes and exhale all resistance to changes in your life, and then inhale hope and exhale fear.

-Step 9: Place the dead leaf in the in the baggie or pouch you have selected and carry it with you through this season of change in your life. It’s ok if it crumbles because of its dryness. It will maintain the magic regardless.

-Step 10: Announce “It is done!” OR whatever phrase you use to close a spell and end a ritual in your practice.

Greetings, Ni No Kuni fandom! I’ve seen a couple people on here post their NNK ocs on here so I thought I’d add my own blorbo to the collection. Now presenting: Penelope Homebrew of the Land of Nod! She’s from WotWW and has a whole DLC post game mission, which ends with Penelope becoming a playable character. I’ll write out how her story goes under the cut, but basically she’s a potion saleswoman who helps the gang close the Nightmare Rifts (name in progress) that have taken over Castaway Cove, Yule, and Perdida.

***GIANT infodump under the cut!!***

The Land of Nod: Where Dreaming is Doing.

- Okay so Nod is a kingdom located on the Spindle, a small island near Autumnia. I’m pretty sure spindle is a reference to mining, but we’ll say it references the spindle from Sleeping Beauty.

- The Land of Nod is all about dreaming. Its inhabitants, called Nodlanders, have the ability to bring whatever they dream of to life. This ability is called Manifesting. Manifesting requires the user to both come up with the item they desire, dream it, AND remember it when they wake up. Nodlanders grow up practicing how to lucid dream, and how to remember their dreams in the waking world. It’s a hard skill to master, which is why so few can actually make a career out of it.

- But since Nodlanders who do master this skill are very powerful, Shadar saw them as a threat, which is why he put all of Nod to sleep with a spell. That’s also why Nod doesn’t show up on the map in the main game, because it’s hidden from sight. And also he made everyone have nightmares, which is important later.

- Since Nod is a postgame area, the items you can buy here are very powerful, but also very pricey. They can only be found in Nod because the Nodlanders literally dreamed them up. Most Nodlanders have a specific kind of item they focus on, like weapons or armor. It’s a HUGE tourist trap.

- Also you might be asking, why isn’t Nod the richest place in the world? Why can’t they just dream up infinite money and food? I thought of that. You can’t really read or write in dreams, so any dreamed currency is obviously fake. And Nodlanders CAN dream up food, but it can’t inwardly be food. So basically dream food can look and taste a certain way, but doesn’t contain substance or calories, so you can’t survive off it. Snack stands and buffets are very popular in Nod for this reason, as you’ll never get stuffed.

Penelope Homebrew: Saleswoman Extraordinaire (?)

- Penelope lives in Nod but has no dream powers. She’s a disappointment to her parents because of this, and spends the whole story trying to prove herself, before eventually realizing she doesn’t have to prove herself to anyone. Also I want her and Swaine to be besties so they bond over being non-magicals from magical families.

- Since she has no dreaming abilities of her own, Penelope runs the Homebrew Apothecary, where she sells potions made from the Dream Energy of other Nodlanders. They look down on her for not having powers of her own, which makes her feel bad. The apothecary got very little business before Shadar, since tourists were more interested in real dream-based products, but Penelope sees traveling with Oliver as a chance to get her brand out there. There are several cutscenes where she’s just advertising to anyone who’ll listen, and she uses the fights to show off her potions.

- Penelope comes with several potions to use in battle and in the overworld. Each of them has a silly little name because you can’t have NNK without some silly little names.

- Nightcap: This potion induces the sleep status on an opponent for 20 seconds.

- Seeing Stars: A potion that induces the confusion status on an opponent.

- A Dream is a Wish: This drinkable potion will, at random, increase the user’s MP or HP, or take away their status condition (the third option only applies if a status condition is present).

- Beauty Sleep: A drinkable potion that completely heals the user’s HP and MP, in return for making them immobile/asleep for thirty seconds. This also almost completely drain’s the user’s MP, so it should be used sparingly.

- Knock Out: A potion that inflicts physical damage on an opponent.

- Shut Eye: An overworld spray potion that gives your party two minutes of invisibility. It works the same as Oliver’s Veil spell.

- Night Light: Ingesting this potion gives the user night vision.

- Basically, all her potions are either thrown, ingested, or sprayed. She starts off with a slingshot, but eventually Swaine makes her the Shooting Star, a steampunk looking bow and arrow that can shoot out any offensive potion Penelope currently has in her roster. The “arrows” are syringes full of potions. This makes her a ranged attacker. I imagine she can replace Swaine in battle, similar to how you can replace Esther with Marcassin.

- Oh also, to make the gang trust her, Penelope pretends she was a famous and successful potioneer before Shadar cast his sleep curse. Swaine suspects her from the start because one con artist recognizes another, but eventually everyone learns she’s been lying and conflict happens. Oooooooo.

The Plot: Nightmare Magic-Induced Therapy

- As I mentioned, Shadar put all the Nodlanders to sleep and gave them nightmares, which they kept having until Cassiopeia woke them up. When they woke up their Dream Energy exploded across the world and caused Nightmare Rifts to appear in Castaway Cove, Yule, and Perdida. Why? It’s like when the printer isn’t working so you keep pressing print, and then it starts working again and shoves out a million papers at once. The Nodlanders had dreamed so much during the sleep curse that when they woke up they couldn’t contain all the energy that had built up.

- Because of this, these three areas are now dungeons with a boss at the end, which are nightmarish manifestations of each town’s Vibe. Each dungeon is also based on a commonly-hated video game mechanic (these being water physics, ice physics, and moving levels). And, also, each dungeon reflects one of the main three’s fears in some way, both literal and metaphorical. In going through these dungeons and defeating the bosses, Oliver, Esther, and Swaine work through their fears with the help of Penelope.

- Also, the reason Penelope starts traveling with them (other than the opportunity to sell more potions) is because the other Nodlanders are too tired from their nightmares to be helpful. Since Penelope doesn’t have dream magic, she feels fine (if a little traumatized after years and years of nightmares).

- Castaway Cove is a water level where the town is completely flooded and sea monsters lurk in the depths. The boss is a sunken ship monster called Ship Wrecker, who has a mouth and teeth made of jagged wooden planks. Its big move is Anchors Away, where it releases a large anchor that damages the whole party. When it’s close to dying it does a new move called Wreckage, where its whole body becomes a mouth to bite the party with. Its normal move is just chasing someone around and biting them. Also there’s a water bubble around the battle arena because it would be a pain in the ass if not.

- This is Oliver’s level, since he almost drowned and is therefore afraid of water. He tries to swim to prove he’s not afraid anymore, but starts having a panic attack. He admits to Penelope (because they split into groups) that he feels guilty that his mom died swimming out to rescue him, and wants to prove that he can take care of himself now like she wants him to. Penelope gives him a pep talk, since she relates to feeling the need to prove herself and doesn’t want him to feel that way. It doesn’t totally fix the problem, but Oliver is able to get through the dungeon without issue.

- Yule is an ice and snow level where the whole place is caved in, and they have to parkour down to the bottom. It kind of sucks because ice physics lol. The little monsters you encounter are scary versions of the Tomte, and the boss is an igloo-abominable snowman fusion called the Bombinable Snowman. It’s a giant spherical igloo with a face and hairy limbs, which it tucks inside itself for certain attacks. Because of the ice blocks, it has really high defense, which only lowers when it does a move called Bumbles Bounce. For this move, it pulls its limbs into itself and throws itself to the ground like a bomb. This does physical damage to anyone not defending. You trigger Bumbles Bounce by attacking it enough, so it’s a very stamina-based fight. It also has an area attack called Avalanche, and a single attack called Stalag-Might, where it slashes with an ice spear.

- This is Esther’s level. She and Penelope get cornered by one of the Tomte monsters, which doesn’t respond to Esther’s attempts to soothe it. Esther gets upset, and says something like “This [monster taming] is what I’m supposed to be good at!” She explains that she’s a sage’s daughter but not a sage herself, so she has to be powerful in her own way so her dad will be proud of her. Penelope’s like “Wow these kids have issues” but assures Esther that if Rashad loves her, he’ll be proud of her no matter what she does. It’s in this moment that Penelope realizes how similar her situation is to Esther’s, and starts feeling less beholden to her parents’ opinions of her.

- Perdida is a moving level where the player has to keep up with the moving camera and dodge constantly changing obstacles. For this one the dungeon is also the boss, as the town’s multi-headed snake statues have come to life and morphed into a giant snake in the sky. It works like the snake boss from Puppeteer, or the Rayquaza balloon from Poke Park. Basically you run across the back of the snake. The heads of the snake attack when you get to the front, but then one of them swallows you and you fight from the inside. Unfortunately I don’t have names for this boss and its moves just yet, but just assume they’re snakey.

- This is Swaine’s level, and also kind of Marcassin’s. Obviously Swaine’s afraid of snakes, but for the whole DLC story he’s also been trying to prove he can be a good brother to Marcassin. Marcassin ends up getting captured by the snake because it was attacking Hamelin, and he wants to prove he can be a good ruler. Basically Swaine wants to be like Marcassin, and Marcassin wants to be like Swaine (in that Swaine is more of a physical attacker and strategist), and they have to work together to stop the snake. In the end both brothers realize they’re good as they are, and Penelope finally comes to the same conclusion.

- With all the rifts taken care of, the group goes back to Nod, where they invite Penelope to travel with them. Penelope thinks about how the Nodlanders and her parents never appreciated her, but how these new people do, so she packs up the apothecary and becomes a traveling saleswoman with the gang. The themes are a little hamfisted, but to be fair the themes of the main game aren’t super subtle.

Conclusion

Holy shit this was way longer than I intended it to be. I don’t expect anyone to read this far but if you did, thanks very much for reading my infodump about a game nobody likes! (Lol.) It’s been super fun coming up with the level designs and stuff, and Penelope is just really fun to draw. Also yeah I know she looks a bit like Moon from FNAF but shhhhh it’s fine.

Making Moon Water

Ancient Craft & Occultism

___

By KB

Introduction

Welcome back everyone! Since we've covered an introduction to Lunar phases, I figured it'd be a great time to have a quick lesson on moon water! In this lesson, we're going to talk about what exactly moon water is, different methods of making it, and how we can use it in our craft! Let's get to it. ♡

What Is Moon Water?

Humans have revered the moon and all of the lunar energy it offers since ancient times. Numerous religions and activities place a significant emphasis on the moon. The moon is viewed by many of these religions as a goddess-like figure that is crucial to human existence. These beliefs and behaviors frequently use the moon as a guide or energy conduit. Moon water is frequently used in witchcraft, Wicca, and other spiritual disciplines. The idea of moon water actually dates back to the early to mid 1800s and is associated with witchcraft. Moon water is simply water that has absorbed the energy of the moon by being exposed to it for an extended amount of time.

How To Make Moon Water

Many moon water recipes found online suggest placing a container of water outside in the moonlight. Even though that is undoubtedly a component of the standard recipe and a precise description of the magic's external, visible shape, creating moon water takes a little more than simply pouring some water outside. Any good moon water must be carefully crafted; while the moon and all it represents provide the majority of the blend's power, it is the witch who must weave the threads that eventually unite these energies to make it all possible. You must tell the moon where to direct its energy, and you must tell the water where to locate the energy's absorbent medium. In the absence of that, all you have is some water that has been left outside. You must actively participate in the creation of moon water if you want it to be as successful as possible.

Fill a non-plastic container with water to start. Some recipes specify that water must be procured from a natural source. While water taken straight from a natural source, such rain or a lake, will have a stronger intrinsic "charge" and a more distinct magickal imprint, it may also include bacteria, parasites, organic or chemical pollutants, and it might also be contaminated. Drinking water, such as purified spring water or even regular tap water, is a more practical and convenient option for some workings because it is widely available and creates a secure and drinkable potion foundation. The type of water that is suitable for your recipe will depend on how you plan to use the moon water.

Bring the water container outside, put it close to a window, a wall outside, or a high position inside your house. The water can be heated, cooled, or left at room temperature. Spend some time contemplating the moon and focusing on the purposes you have for your moonwater. Will the water to absorb as much moonlight as it can by visualizing it literally opening to the energy of the moon. Directly invite and ask the lunar energies to enter the water by focusing your heart on the lunar essences you want to add to your concoction. It could be beneficial to picture energy connecting threads running from your body to the moon and from the moon into the water in your container. Imagine the water's internal structure truly altering, its vibrations rising as it takes in and harmonizes with the moon's energy flow. As you call on the moonlight to illuminate the water and assert your witchcraft by telling it what it should become, have faith in your instincts and your links to nature.

Any lunar working will benefit from a simple moon water, which will also strengthen any spells cast to advance healing, foster love, increase psychic power, or foster creativity. Moonlight, water, and the witch herself are the only necessary components of a moon water. If you'd like, you can add stones or plants that more directly reflect your aspirations, but be careful not to include anything poisonous to a potion that you want to consume or apply topically to your body. Witchcraft frequently involves the use of toxic herbs, and many common stones can leach toxins into moonwater.

Ways To Use Moon Water

Moon water is both a blank canvas and a carefully crafted work of wonder. It can be modified with additional components to fit any particular magical aim you may have, used as a base for other potions to increase their magical potency, or used as a spell all by itself. The moon's phases can also be used to make moonwater with various properties. With the exception of abstaining from ingesting any harmful substances and avoiding contact with potentially irritating substances, there are no restrictions on how you can utilize moon water. Here are only a few suggestions.

Anoint your ritual spaces & tools before a magical working

Use it in cleaning to bring in certain energies

Use it to cast a circle

Use it in glamor magic by washing your face and hair with it

Freeze in ice cubes for quick elixirs

Use for scrying

Dip your paintbrushes in them to add enchantment to your art

Drink it & cook with it

Water your plants with it

There's a few extra sketches I did for fun lying around, and if ya'll want that (plus the story line of what's happening) just tell me I would include it here but this is painfully long enough

(Oh and all relationships are kinda neutral here. They don't entirely line up with the show. Ship whoever I don't care)

Anyways, this took weeks to make (cuz of studying and the fact I got sick in the middle of it) but im rather happy with what I have came up with!

Always feel free to make asks like this! I enjoy them a lot! might take a while for them to come out cuz of school but I'll do my best!

(Also I'm aware some are a bit out of character, it was for comedic purposes)

You can really see the gaps in Murtaghs education as a Rider in this book because whenever you saw him from Eragon's perspective he was always so much stronger and better and bested Eragon easily meanwhile Murtagh can barely perform a spell to make water drinkable even though he knows stronger things like killing words and the name of the ancient language

I need to make a list of things I just assumed about invader Zim when I was a kid

-Tallest red and purple were Zim's dirtbag dads

-Zim and Dib were neighbors

-Gaz and professor membrane are both very aware that Zim is an alien but he's too stupid to be a threat so they don't care

-Zim is wearing a dress

-Gaz is a demon or has special power

-Keef's name was "Keith" Zim just sucks at spelling and Keef has a lisp or something

-Zim gets hurt by rain water and Skool tap water because it's filthy but is fine with clean drinkable tap water and food & medical grade level clean water

-zim and Dib were in middle school but were also 10 (this was when I was a kid and didn't know school worked)

what kind of face do you think Barbatos would make if he learned I microwave my tea? i need a constant stream of tea usually and microwaving is the fastest way to get a cup of hot water, if the hot water kettle isn't already going. 1 minute and tea bag and it's already drinkable.

if he told me to wait and went to make me a proper cuppa id probably wither and just beg him to microwave water and a tea bag. do you think he would disown me?

Yes, anon. I do think he would disown you.

I mean, no I don't actually think he'd disown you, but it'd be kinda cute, right? He's so appalled that he just kinda has to take a time out. Can't think clearly about it until he has his own calming cup of tea. And then he feels better and starts brainstorming ideas to help you with this issue.

Now, when you say the hot water kettle are we talking the traditional stove top situation? Because you know they make electric kettles, right? They're muuuuch faster. You can also get a Keurig type situation.

Why does this matter? you may be asking. It all makes water hot, right?

Yeah, technically. But in order to steep tea correctly, your water has to be a specific temperature. And you can't really get a specific temp with a microwave. Whereas most Keurigs and electric kettles either automatically heat the water to the correct temperature or you can change their settings so they do.

This is so your tea isn't too bitter.

And if you want my honest opinion, I doubt Barbatos uses tea bags, either.

He strikes me as a loose leaf only kinda guy, maybe using a tea bag if he's in a pinch or something.

However, I think Barbatos is likely to just... make you a whole pot. He'll put the loose leaf tea directly into the pot, followed by the water already heated to the right temperature, then let it steep the correct amount of time depending on the type of tea. Then he'll have a little strainer for you to catch the tea leaves in as you pour the tea from pot to cup.

A pot will last you a lot longer than a single cup. And I'd be really surprised if he didn't have a spell for keeping the pot warm until the tea is gone.

And then he'd just make sure you never run out.

Of course, if you have any interest in iced tea, you wouldn't need to worry about any of this. Because you can cold brew any type of tea. Leave a pitcher of it in the fridge over night and bam - tea all day.

HOWEVER. Since you did ask me what kind of face he would make, I'm going to subject you to my terrible art skills to demonstrate how I think it'd go. Now you can all see why I'm not an artist.

He's upset.

I mean, I would be too if someone drew me so badly. I'm sorry, Barb. My MC is an artist, but I'm not, I'm afraid. I just realized I forgot to give him a nose. I MEAN that was totally on purpose, it's a style choice. Anyway, I hope the frown at least conveys how sad he is about you microwaving your tea lol.

Chapter 29.1: Caught

Part 3

Previous Chapter (Weebly)

CW: Sergei has arrived

"That's where it all started." Florian chuckled in between.

"Yeah... Sort of. I've always been interested in the chemistry and art of all things drinkable. I also quite like cooking. That's why I always refuse to let you use that spell on me, that and I think it's a shame not to use food if you can."

After the short intermezzo, Finn continued his story.

"I was pretty clumsy at first, and it was boring - most tourists didn't get on it until the next stop, and it wasn't exactly well paid. But it kept me busy. I could save up and then I'd see what happened."

One quiet day when I had been working there for about a month and a half, someone I had never seen before came to the pool. A fairly muscular guy. Not muscular in the no-fat way like you, just...Beefy. All over the place. I couldn't look away, and he must have noticed, because he swam up to the bar and ordered a drink.

"Virgin Mojito please." He said in an accent I couldn't quite place. "You, virgin??" I asked with a crooked smile, but he didn't laugh. "I'm a bodyguard, these are working hours." He just replied dryly.

You should have seen me, I was so clumsy, I was really making a fool of myself... "Amateur" he must have thought as he swam away before I had finished his drink.

where can i go to find tutorials on specific spells? like not how to make my own spell but more like recipes on spells other people have created

There are hundreds of books, videos, blogs, and websites that can help you with this. If you're looking for some spells that have good reviews you could check out @breelandwalker and her books. She also sells spell kits!

I also have a spell crafting post with a few spells, as well as my kitchen witchery post that has a few edible/drinkable spells.

I don't have a specific resource for you, unfortunately, as nowadays I mostly make my own spells. Honestly I just google whatever spell I'm looking for and see what I can find. I just make sure that the spell doesn't go against any beliefs of mine or isn't involving any closed practices.

Does anyone have any spell books, sites, etc where they go for spells?

Happiness Potion (honey milk tea) 🤎✨

What you need: 

2 tsp honey

½ tsp cinnamon

½ cup boiling water

½ cup milk

What to do:

Mix the honey, cinnamon and water together in a mug until combined.

Froth the milk with a milk frothing tool or by whisking/shaking very violently (Optional)

Add the milk

Garnish with cinnamon

Optional:

The ratio of boiling water to milk should bring the drink down to the perfect temperature!

With milk, you can add peppermint to soothe the stomach, chamomile to soothe the throat and encourage sleep, ginger to soothe the throat, or cayenne pepper to clear the sinuses.

Without milk, you can add a bit of lemon to boost the immune system.

You can replace the water with a herbal tea of your choices such as lavender or chamomile.

You can replace the milk with almond milk or any milk of choice.

–––––––––––––

Here’s the explanation for this spell for fellow baby witches

Spells come in many forms, including drinkable ones! You can call them potions if you like. They involve using herbs/flavors/scents etc with specific correspondents to fulfil a specific intention.

Honey signifies happiness and positivity and expels negativity, depression and anxiety.

Cinnamon signifies spirituality, success, healing, protection, power, love, luck, strength and prosperity

Milk has correspondents too! Full cream milk signifies prosperity, nurturing, protection, success. Warm milk eases anxiety and anger. Here’s a list of correspondents for non-dairy milk types by @heximari

Citrine is a crystal that boosts joy and optimism, and clear quartz is used for protection and as an amplifier for other crystals.

Sigils are statements of intent drawn up into a little picture which you can write on your skin, on a paper, or in this case, stir into tea, to make a spell work better.

Having Pets And Witchcraft

(Some compromises and adjustments I’ve made to my practice as a witch to accommodate my cat Muffin now living in my bedroom).

🔮I don’t burn candles in my room anymore. (Idc that I crack the windows, candles are not good to burn in tight spaces with the company of cats and most pets. Unless your pet is a fish or in a tank of some sort that doesn’t get exposed to the candle smoke or scents). If you see a candle, it’s literally just there for a representation of fire. I never burn it anymore.

🔮I made space on my altar for my pet. Especially with cats, they ARE going to jump on your altar whether you like it or not. Might as well give them some space to sit so it’s less likely they’ll knock things down. (I happen to be devoted to the cat-loving goddess Freyja. So I’m not worried about disrespecting her by making kitty space).

🔮NO essential oil sprays. Nada. Not even a little bit. Instead, use plain moon or sun water sprays with no oils or added infusions. I used to use essential oil sprays before any animals could come into my bedroom. They were a quick and easy way to cleanse my space, but for the health of your pet (dog, cat, or otherwise) do NOT go spraying these around a room they live in. You can charge moon-water or sun-water with intent or draw a sigil on the spray bottle you are using, and it works just as well. Plain drinkable water mist isn’t gonna harm your babies.

🔮Be fine with your witchy stuff falling, getting knocked down, and potentially damaged. This applies to crystals, trinkets, wands, etc. I highly recommend you replace glass spell bottles with plastic tightly sealable spell bottles if you’re going to leave them in reach of your pet. IT IS NEVER THE PETS FAULT IF THEY DAMAGE A CRYSTAL. You’re the adult human, so take responsibility and decide what sort of stuff you’re leaving out in a pets reach.

🔮Meditation is hard (for me) with my babygirl Muffin doing everything she can to distract me. Its ok. I literally go outside in the backyard to meditate if she’s being crazy and playful so I don’t get disturbed. It’s better to relocate than get angry at an animal that just wants playtime or attention.

🔮Most pets are great psychic protectors (each in different ways), so treat them with respect. They are guarding you in your sleep and even on occasion bringing your attention to when the energy is off or something negative is afoot. However, don’t rely only on them for psychic protection, as that’s A LOT for one animal.

🔮Plant allies are fine if you choose a nontoxic one for your specific pet. I’ll give you some generally good examples for cat safe ones, since that is what I know best as a cat mom. African violets, Sunflowers, Roses (de-thorned), and Orchids, and most succulents, are safe bets.

That’s all for now, folks!

Tysm for reading!

💧The Droplets of The Water💧

💧Facts and Silly Things💧

The Water engines have a small teardrop on their cheek as humans and engines.

When they’re in water, they will grow gills and can breathe the water and turn into their respective mermaid form like Skiff being able to turn into his guppy fish form.

The Water Engines are known for being very calm and collected in life and battle.

Throughout history, water has been a symbol of wisdom, power, grace, music, and the undifferentiated chaos that gave rise to the material world, and it definitely shows in these engines.

The best example of this element would be Edward, y’all know how he is, calm, collected, and always giving advice to those in need.

These engines usually use logic and tactics in their fights.

They usually don’t get into fights, but when they do, they usually don’t lose.

They’re pretty powerful and know how to use their magic to their advantage.

They’re good offensively and defensively.

💧Now onto their Prowess (Abilities)!💧

Super swimmer: Swim at 210 mph/338 kph for up to 60 seconds before tiring.

Water Breath: The ability to breath under water.

Gills: The ability to create gills on their body, this only lasts for a little while.

Water Manipulation: The ability to control the water to the users will.

Hydrokinetic Cloning: The power to create clones using water.

They can walk on water.

They can create small waves, torrents, and formations of water at a more basic level than regular spells.

Water Mimicry: Transform into water or mimic traits of water.

Hydroportation: Teleport using water, or stepping into a body of water and teleporting that way.

Dehydration: Absorb water from people or places.

Storms: The ability to create and cause horrible storms, like hurricanes or just simple rain showers.

Purify Water: The ability to purify water so it's drinkable.

Wine: The ability to turn water into wine.

Power Washing: The ability to create a high pressure stream of water.

💧What sets them apart from the other Elements?💧

All Water Engines will have pure water eyes and tear tattoos. The tattoos are dry to the touch but when they cry, they'll produce more tears than those without Water Magic and the tattoos will turn into actual wet tears and stream down the face, so they need to stay hydrated all the time. The water will move around in their eye and create a beautiful watery effect.

all the harry potter spells!

i was bored so I spent four (4) hours extracting info from the harry potter wiki pages, cuz I've been reading a whole lot of drarry lately and im considering writing a oneshot or smth. but i realized I should prolly have a copy of all the spells. I own the unofficial spell book, but it's also nice to have everything online as well. im not expecting this to get much traction, but if anyone needs it, here it is! you can also check the wiki pages anyway. thx y'all

Aberto (Opening Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: Ah-bare-toh Description: A spell used to open doors; it is probably related to Alohamora. Etymology: Portuguese for 'open'. Compare Spanish 'abierto'.

Accio (Summoning Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: Various, including: AK-ee-oh, AK-see-oh, AS-see-oh (US), and AT-chee-oh (Anglo-Catholic pronunciation) Description: Summons an object towards the caster. It is able to summon objects in direct line of sight of the caster, as well as things out of view, by calling the object aloud after the incantation (unless the spell is cast nonverbally). This spell needs thought behind it, and the object must be clear in the caster's mind before trying to summon it. The caster doesn't necessarily need to know the location of the target as long as they say the name of the object to be summoned, such as when Hermione Granger summoned some books from Dumbledore's office simply by saying "Accio Horcrux books!" while in Gryffindor Tower. Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter summoned his broom to complete the first task of the Triwizard Tournament in 1994, and to summon the Portkey to escape Voldemort and the Death Eaters in the Little Hangleton graveyard in 1995. Also, in the Battle of the Seven Potters Harry summoned Hagrid when he fell. Molly Weasley used it to get the twins' candy. The twins used it to summon their brooms from Dolores Umbridge's office. Etymology: The Latin word accio means "I call" or "I summon". Notes: The Summoning Charm is unable to directly summon exceptionally large targets such as buildings, or living creatures (except for Flobberworms which aren't considered to be worth summoning). It is also unable to summon Horcruxes as they have protective enchantments placed on them. It is, however, possible to move a creature by summoning things they are wearing or holding. It is also possible to bewitch items to become unaffected from this charm, as is the case with most bought goods.

(Age Line) Type: Charm Description: Prevents people above or below a certain age from access to a target. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore to prevent underage students from entering their names into the Goblet of Fire. Also seen when Fred and George Weasley attempted to circumvent it with Ageing Potions, and ended up in the Hospital Wing with fine white beards, along with other students who tried similar tactics.

Aguamenti (Water-Making Spell) Type: Charm, Conjuration Pronunciation: AH-gwah-MEN-tee Description: Produces a clean, drinkable jet of water from the wand tip. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Fleur Delacour in 1994 to extinguish her skirt, which had caught flame during a fight against a dragon. Harry used this spell twice in 1997, both on the same night; once to attempt to provide a drink for Dumbledore, then again to help douse Hagrid's hut after it was set aflame by Thorfinn Rowle, who used the Fire-Making Spell. Etymology: Possibly a hybrid of Latin words aqua, which means "water", and menti, which means "for the mind."

Alarte Ascendare Type: Charm Pronunciation: a-LAR-tay a-SEN-der-ay Description: Shoots the target high into the air. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Gilderoy Lockhart in 1992 to send a snake high into the air during the first and last meeting of the Duelling Club. Etymology: Ascendere is a Latin infinitive meaning "to go up,""to climb," "to embark," "to rise(figuratively);" this is the origin of the English word "ascend".

(Albus Dumbledore's forceful spell) Type: Spell Description: This spell was, supposedly, quite powerful as when it was cast, the opponent was forced to conjure a silver shield to deflect it. Seen/Mentioned: It was used by Dumbledore in the Ministry of Magic, immediately following the Battle of the Department of Mysteries on 17 June, 1996, while he duelled Voldemort.

Alohomora (Unlocking Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-LOH-ho-MOR-ah Description: Unlocks doors and other locked objects. It can also unlock doors that have been sealed with a Locking Spell, although it is possible to bewitch doors to become unaffected by this spell. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione Granger in 1991 to allow her and her friends to access the Third-floor corridor at her school, which was at the time forbidden; she used it again two years later to free Sirius's cell in her teacher's prison room. Etymology: The incantation is derived from the West African Sidiki dialect used in geomancy; it means "friendly to thieves".

Alohomora Duo Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-LOH-ho-MOR-ah DOO-oh Description: A more powerful version of Alohomora.

(Altering Spell) Type: Transfiguration Description: Transformed the physical form or colour of objects.

Amato Animo Animato Animagus (Animagus Spell) Type: Transfiguration Pronunciation: ah-MAH-toh ah-NEE-moh ah-nee-MAH-toh an-a-MAY-jus Description: Spell used as part of the process of becoming an Animagus. The incantation has to be recited at sunrise and sundown, every day before the consumption of the Animagus Potion. The incantation is also recited just prior to the consumption of the potion, which has to take place just after a lightning storm starts. The incantation is recited while placing the wand's tip over one's heart. Etymology: Amato is a conjugation of the Latin word amo, which means "I love" or "I am obliged to". Animo and animato are both different conjugations of the Latin word animo, which can mean "I animate" or "I fill with breath or life". Animagus on the other hand appears to be a portmanteau of animo or "animal", and magus, which is Latin for "wizard." Overall, the incantation can roughly mean "My love brings me life, I am obliged to become an animal wizard."

Anapneo Type: Healing Spell, Vanishment Pronunciation: ah-NAP-nee-oh Description: Clears the target's airway if they are choking on something. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Horace Slughorn, cast upon Marcus Belby when the latter choked on a pheasant in 1996. Etymology: From the Greek verb anapneo, meaning "I breathe in."

Anteoculatia Type: Dark charm Pronunciation: an-tee-oh-kyoo-LAY-chee-ah Description: Causes the target to grow antlers. Seen/Mentioned: This spell was used to make Pansy Parkinson grow antlers in 1996.

(Anti-Cheating Spell) Type: Charm Description: Used to prevent cheating. Seen/Mentioned: These spells were used at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry on writing quills and parchment to prevent students from cheating during their final exams, as well as their O.W.L.s and N.E.W.T.s.

(Anti-Apparition Charm) Type: Charm Description: Prevents Apparition within range of an area. Often used to keep out unwanted visitors from an area. Seen/Mentioned: Mentioned that no one can Apparate into Hogwarts grounds due to this spell.

(Anti-Disapparition Jinx) Type: Jinx Description: Prevents Disapparation within an area. It is often used to entrap an enemy in an area. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore to trap some Death Eaters in the Department of Mysteries in 1996. Also used on Hogsmeade in 1998 by the Death Eaters to keep the Trio trapped there shortly before the Battle of Hogwarts. Also mentioned that nobody can Disapparate from Hogwarts; it is due to this jinx.

(Anti-intruder jinx) Type: Jinx Description: Prevents intruders from entering an area. It is probably relatively similar to the Anti-Apparition Charm. Seen/Mentioned: It was placed on Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1996 for extra protection during an invasion of Death Eaters.

(Antonin Dolohov's curse) Type: Curse Description: An unknown curse that causes injuries that are capable of killing with enough power. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Antonin Dolohov during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries twice; Dolohov was under a Silencing Charm, and thus weakened the effects of this curse, saving Hermione from death, but incapacitated her and required her to take ten potions a day for some time.

Aparecium (Revealing Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: AH-par-EE-see-um Description: Reveals secret messages written in invisible ink, or any other hidden markings. Also works against Concealing charms Seen/Mentioned: Used (to no avail) in 1993 by Hermione Granger to attempt to reveal any hidden writing in a diary. Etymology: Latin apparere, meaning "to appear"; -ium and -cium are common Latin noun endings.

Appare Vestigium (Tracking Spell) Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-PAR-ay ves-TEE-jee-um Description: Reveals traces of magic, including footprints and track marks. Seen/Mentioned: Newton Scamander used it to search for Porpentina Goldstein.

(Apparition) Type: Transportation Description: Magically teleports the user to another location instantly. The destination is one that the primary user has been to or seen in some fashion previously. Can be used to Apparate two or more people at once if holding onto each other (i.e. Side-Along Apparition). No incantation required. Seen/Mentioned: Used frequently by Wizardkind to teleport from place to place. Aqua Eructo Type: Charm Pronunciation: A-kwa ee-RUCK-toh Description: This spell is used to create, and control, a jet of clear water from the tip of the wand; it is probably related to Aguamenti. Seen/Mentioned: Used multiple times to extinguish fires in 1994. Etymology: Aqua means, in Latin, water. Eructo is a verb meaning "I raise"; roughly translated, it means "I raise water".

Arania Exumai Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-RAHN-ee-a EKS-su-may Description: Drives away spiders, including Acromantulas. Seen/Mentioned: Jacob's sibling used this spell to repel an Acromantula that guarded the Forest Vault in the Forbidden Forest. Etymology: From the Latin aranea, meaning "spider", and exuo, meaning "I lay aside".

Arresto Momentum (Slowing Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-REST-oh mo-MEN-tum Description: Decreases the velocity of a moving target. Can be used on multiple targets, as well as on the caster themselves. It was invented by Daisy Pennifold in 1711 for use on the Quaffle in Quidditch. Seen/Mentioned: Used wandlessly by Dumbledore to save one of his students from a fall in 1993; Hermione Granger used it, to little effect, in 1998 to cushion an otherwise deadly fall during their break-in at Gringotts. Etymology: Likely the combination of the Anglo-French arester, meaning "to bring to a stop" and the Latin momentum, meaning "the force or strength gained whilst moving"; the literal translation hence is "Bring the force or strength gained whilst moving to a stop".

(Arrow-shooting spell) Type: Conjuration Description: Fires arrows from the caster's wand. Seen/Mentioned: The spell used to be used by Appleby Arrows supporters at Quidditch matches to show their support for their teams; however, the British and Irish Quidditch League banned the use of the spell at matches when referee Nugent Potts was pierced through the nose with a stray arrow in 1894.

Ascendio Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-SEN-dee-oh Description: Lifts the caster high into the air. The charm also works underwater, propelling the caster above the surface. Etymology: Derived from Latin ascendo, meaning "to climb".

(Atmospheric Charm) Type: Charm Description: Modified or created certain weather conditions.

Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse) Type: Curse Pronunciation: ah-VAH-dah keh-DAV-rah Description: Avada-Kedavra Causes instantaneous and painless death, leaving no physical injury to the victim's body or any trace of violence. It is accompanied by a bright flash or long stream of green light and a distinctive rushing noise while cast. There is no known counter-curse that can protect the victim from dying, except for a loving sacrifice. It is one of the three Unforgivable Curses. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Tom Riddle to murder many of his victims without any regret or remorse. Also Harry Potter was saved from this spell a number of times: by his mother's loving sacrifice, because he was an accidental Horcrux, because his wand and his enemy's were made of the same core, and because the Elder Wand refused to kill its true master (Harry Potter) during Voldemort's Last Stand. Etymology: Avada Kedavra is based on the Aramaic אַבַדָא כְּדַברָא, avada kedavra, meaning "let the thing be destroyed".

Avifors (Avifors Spell) Type: Transfiguration Pronunciation: AH-vi-fors Description: Transforms the target into a bird. Seen/Mentioned: Taught in Transfiguration class. Etymology: From Latin avis meaning "bird" and forma meaning "shape".

Avenseguim Type: Charm Pronunciation: ah-ven-SEH-gwim Description: Turns an object into a tracking device. Seen/Mentioned: In 1927, Newton Scamander used this spell to track the origins of a feather - a clue found during his search for Porpentina Goldstein - back to Yusuf Kama, whose hat the feather came from. Etymology: The incantation Avenseguim is likely derived from the portmanteau of avens, a Latin adjective for "eager" or "craving", and seguir, the Spanish and Portuguese verb meaning "to follow", or alternatively from the Catalan seguim, meaning "we follow". Taken together, Avenseguim can be interpreted as "to eagerly follow", which aptly characterises the behaviour of a tracking device.

Avis (Bird-Conjuring Charm) Type: Conjuration, Charm Pronunciation: AH-viss Description: Conjures a flock of birds from the tip of the wand. When used in conjunction with Oppugno, it can be used offensively. Seen/Mentioned: Used in 1994 by Mr Ollivander to test Viktor Krum's wand. Also employed offensively by Hermione Granger against Ron Weasley. Etymology: The Latin word avis means "bird".

(Babbling Curse) Type: Curse Description: Causes uncontrollable babbling. Seen/Mentioned: Although he was rather untrustworthy, it may not have occurred at all, but Gilderoy Lockhart says he cured a Transylvanian farmer of this affliction.

(Badgering) Type: Transfiguration Description: Turns things into badgers

(Basic Cast) Type: Spell Description: Causes damage or harm to targets.

(Bat-Bogey Hex) Type: Hex Description: Transforms the target's bogeys into large bats that fly out of the victim's nose. It was invented by Miranda Goshawk. Seen/Mentioned: Ginny Weasley was a noted practitioner of this spell, having used it at least thrice by her sixth year.

Baubillious Type: Charm Pronunciation: baw-BILL-ee-us Description: The exact effects of the spell are unknown, though it presumably is of damaging nature and it produces a bolt of white light from the tip of the wand. Etymology: Currently unclear, probably from English bauble. Notes: This is likely the incantation for White sparks.

(Bedazzling Hex) Type: Hex Description: Allows the caster to disguise things. Seen/Mentioned: When Xenophilius Lovegood explains the concept of how the Cloak of Invisibility is the only thing that can make a person truly invisible, he mentions that most cloaks of that kind are made with this spell. Note: Though the exact effects are unknown, based on the name (and the fact that it is used in conjunction with a chameleon charm on certain cloaks, it is probably used to conceal a person or object.

(Bewitched Snowballs) Type: Charm Description: Causes snowballs to pelt themselves at the target. Seen/Mentioned: Twice used by Fred and George Weasley; firstly on Professor Quirrell's head, unwittingly striking Lord Voldemort in the face, and then again four years later to attack the windows of Gryffindor Tower.

(Bluebell Flames) Type: Charm Description: Produces magical blue flames that can be held in a jar. Not as dangerous as real fire, these magical flames can be touched, penetrated and held without it burning the holder, though it is known to singe materials such as clothing and plants. Seen/Mentioned: This spell was a specialty of Hermione Granger's. She used it to defeat Devil's Snare in the Underground Chambers in 1992.

(Blue sparks) Type: Charm Description: Jet of blue sparks. It can be used offensively as a minor duelling spell. Seen/Mentioned: Following the American National Quidditch team's win at the semi-finals of the 2014 Quidditch World Cup against Liechenstein, red, white and blue sparks filled the air so thickly it was difficult to see or breathe.

The pain is described as worse than having "white-hot knives" being driven into the victim.

Used on another spider three years later to test a new wand. Etymology: The English word engorge means "swell". Notes: There is much speculation that this spell is the same as the Growth Charm, though this cannot be proven. Note that there is a difference between enlarging and engorging something, similar though they may seem.

Engorgio Skullus Type: Dark charm Pronunciation: in-GORE-jee-oh SKUH-las Description: Causes the victim's skull to swell disproportionately. This spell may be a variation of the Engorgement Charm, as they share the first word of the incantation. Its countercurse is Redactum Skullus.

(Extinguishing Spell) Type: Charm Description: Puts out fires. Seen/Mentioned: Charlie Weasley and his friends would use this spell should something go wrong in the tournament.

(False memory spell) Type: Charm Description: Implants a false memory in the victim without them realising it was not originally theirs. Seen/Mentioned: Lord Voldemort used this spell twice; firstly in 1943 upon his uncle Morfin Gaunt, then sometime later on the house-elf Hokey. Both instances were to hide his crimes and make the victims believe they were responsible. It is likely that Kingsley Shacklebolt used this spell on Marietta Edgecombe in 1996 in order to prevent her from revealing Dumbledore's Army to Cornelius Fudge. This is reinforced by Dumbledore stating that Shacklebolt was "remarkably quick on the uptake" in modifying her memory. It is possible that Professor Horace Slughorn used this in the next school year to hide his memory of Voldemort asking him about Horcruxes, although as he retained awareness of the true memory his spell may be a different one. It is also possible that he simply repressed it to such a degree that it could not be extracted from him against his will, as the memory he gave Dumbledore simple went blank at the right times and was replaced by a disembodied shouting, rather than images; this was noted to be crudely done. Hermione Granger used this in 1997 to make her parents believe they were named Wendell and Monica Wilkins respectively, that they have no daughter, and to make them move to Australia in order to protect them from Voldemort and his Death Eaters.

(Feather-light charm) Type: Charm Description: Makes an object light as a feather. Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter contemplated using this in 1993 to lighten his trunk so that he could carry it by broom to Gringotts, though he decided against it.

Fianto Duri Type: Charm Pronunciation: fee-AN-toh DOO-ree Description: A defensive charm which, based on the etymology, strengthens shield spells, and perhaps objects in general, in a similar way to Duro. Seen/Mentioned: Used to protect Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1998. Etymology: Latin fiant means "become" and duri means "hard".

(Fidelius Charm) Type: Charm Description: An immensely complex charm used to hide secret information within the soul of the charm's recipient, who is called a Secret-Keeper. The information is irretrievable unless the Secret-Keeper willingly chooses to reveal it, and only the aforementioned person can do so. Seen/Mentioned: In 1993, it was explained that when Harry was merely an infant, he and his parents were hidden from Voldemort with this charm; from 1995 onward it was used to protect Grimmauld Place, and in 1998 it was used to protect Shell Cottage. Etymology: Latin fidelis, which means "faithful". Notes: Although when a Secret-Keeper dies the secret they held can never be revealed to anyone else, in 1997 it is apparent that upon the Keeper's death all those who had been told the secret become keepers in turn. Notes (2): This charm seems to have no effect with regard to animals, as Hedwig found Ron and Hermione in a location that was protected by this charm; however, it is possible that Dumbledore somehow told her, ludicrous though such may seem. Notes (3): In 1981, Hagrid managed to get to Harry before all the Muggles could look at it; this makes it appear as though the Killing Curse will negate the effect of the Fidelius Charm. Notes (4): Those who have been told of the secret by secret-keepers still cannot pass the secret on, as proven by Severus Snape and Bellatrix Lestrange.

(Fiendfyre) Type: Curse Description: Unleashes cursed fire that takes the shape of animals that actively seek out living targets and burn anything in its path, including nearly indestructible substances such as Horcruxes. In addition, this fire is made even more dangerous due to the fact that it is extremely difficult to control, and cannot be extinguished with normal or enchanted water. Seen/Mentioned: Though there are numerous instances when it may have been used, it was only proven to have been used in 1998 by Vincent Crabbe, who was killed by it.

Seen/Mentioned: Used multiple times by various people in 1997. Etymology: Most likely from Latin homo, meaning human, and "reveal", though the classical Latin form would be hominem instead of homenum, which shows Portuguese influence ("man" is homem in Portuguese). Notes: It can be used non-verbally; Dumbledore does so to detect Harry underneath his Invisibility Cloak.

(Homonculous Charm) Dumbledore on the Marauder's Map Type: Charm Description: Tracks the movements of human beings. The charm has a powerful effect in that it is not fooled by various methods of concealment and disguise, such as Invisibility Cloaks, the Polyjuice Potion or transformed Animagi.

(Horton-Keitch Braking Charm) Type: Charm Description: Charm patented by Basil Horton and Randolph Keitch that allows for broom-riders to stop more precisely. This spell was first used on the Comet 140 to prevent players from overshooting the goal posts and from flying off-sides. Seen/Mentioned: Enchanted on all Comet 140 broomsticks.

(Horcrux-making spell) Type: Dark Arts Description: This spell allows a part of a wizard's soul to pass into an object, thereby making the object a Horcrux. One has to commit murder and take advantage of the soul's "splitting apart" by this supreme act of evil in order to be able to perform this spell, and it is probably very complex. In 1943, Horace Slughorn described the spell to a young Tom Riddle as encasing a portion of the torn soul and placing it within an object. The spell itself is described in detail in a banned book known as "Secret of the Darkest Art", which Hermione Granger summoned from Albus Dumbledore's office near the end of their sixth year. According to the text, use of this spell to separate the soul will make the remaining portion of the soul very fragile, and can only be reversed by "remorse" of the wrongs the creator had made; however, the pain caused by attempting to reverse the creation of a Horcrux can destroy the individual. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Lord Voldemort while creating his Horcruxes.

(Hot Air Charm) Type: Charm Description: Conjures a stream of hot air Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione Granger in 1995 to dry off her robes. Also used shortly after to melt snow. Also was used by Albus Dumbledore in 1997 to dry Harry's and his own robes.

Impedimenta (Impediment Jinx) Type: Jinx Pronunciation: im-ped-ih-MEN-tah Description: Slows down or stops the target.

Etymology: Latin impedimentum (plural impedimenta), "a hindrance" or "an impediment".

Imperio (Imperius Curse) Type: Curse Pronunciation: im-PEER-ee-oh Description: Places the victim completely under the caster's control. The victim is put into a calm, trance-like state, and becomes unquestionably obedient to the commands of the caster. However, those who are strong-willed may learn to resist it. One of the three "Unforgivable Curses," the use of this curse on another human results in capital punishment or life sentence in Azkaban. Seen/Mentioned: Used on many occasions. First seen in 1994 when Barty Crouch Jnr, impersonating ex-Auror Alastor Moody, used it on a spider and later on students during a "class demonstration" in a Defence Against the Dark Arts class. While breaking into Gringotts in 1998, Harry used it on a goblin and a Death Eater when they became suspicious. Etymology: Latin impero, I command, and English "imperious".

(Imperturbable Charm) Type: Charm Description: Creates an invisible magical barrier on an object, such as a door. This barrier bounces objects off of it, and muffles sounds. Seen/Mentioned: It used by Molly Weasley in the same year on the door of the room in which an Order of the Phoenix meeting was being held, in order to prevent her sons, Fred and George, from eavesdropping.

Impervius (Impervius Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: im-PUR-vee-us Description: Makes an object repel water and mist. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione Granger in 1993 on Harry's glasses while in a Quidditch match and also by the Gryffindor Quidditch team. Also used in 1997, first by Ron to protect objects in Yaxley's office from rain, and then by Hermione to protect Harry, Ron and Griphook from the burning treasure in the Lestranges' vault. Etymology: It is said that the Latin impervius means (and is the source of) "impervious"; although it is the source of the word, it is better translated as impassable, as in a mountain peak.

Seen/Mentioned: Used 1996, when Dolores Umbridge tries to hold off Centaurs. Also used by Harry on the Inferi in Voldemort's Crystal Cave in 1997 and also attempted to use it on Severus Snape in the same year. Etymology: Probably English incarcerate, "to imprison". Possibly linked to the Latin in carcerem, "in(to) prison". Notes: A non-verbal version of this spell may have been used to tie up Remus Lupin by Severus Snape during the encounter in the Shrieking Shack, and then later Peter Pettigrew in 1994. It may also have been used by Quirrell in 1992, although he is said to have merely "snapped his fingers". Also, it may have been the spell Antonin Dolohov used non-verbally to bind Ron Weasley with "shining black ropes" in a skirmish on Tottenham Court Road.

Incendio (Fire-Making Spell) Type: Charm, Conjuration Pronunciation: in-SEN-dee-oh Description: Produces fire. Seen/Mentioned: It was used in 1994 by Arthur Weasley to create a fire in the Dursleys' hearth so that he could use Floo Powder there. Etymology: Latin incendere, "to set fire (to)". Note that the first principal part of this verb (meaning "I set fire") is incendo, not incendio; the incantation does not match exactly any correct conjugation of the verb. Incêndio, in Portuguese (same pronunciation as in English) means 'huge fire'. "Encender" in Spanish means "to ignite" and "Incendie" in French means flame. (A plausible but less likely source might be that it is a back-formation from the English word "incendiary," i.e., "causing fire.")

Incendio Duo Type: Charm Pronunciation: in-SEN-dee-oh DOO-oh Description: A stronger version of Incendio.

Incendio Tria Type: Charm Pronunciation: in-SEN-dee-oh TREE-ah Description: An improvement over both Incendio and Incendio Duo.

A page with a brief description (including weaknesses and strengths) of the charmed creature is added to the caster's Folio Bruti. Etymology: The prefix Info derives from the English verb "to inform".

(Instant scalping hex) Type: Hex Description: Instantly scalps all the hair off of a target. Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter came across it while browsing the index of Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed, trying to find a way to fight the dragon he knew he would have to face for the First Task of the Triwizard Tournament. He quickly decided it would be ineffective, because dragons do not have hair. Notes: This spell has similar effects to the Hair Loss Curse.

(Intruder Charm) Type: Charm Description: Detects intruders and sounds an alarm. Seen/Mentioned: Horace Slughorn used it on a Muggle-owned house he stayed in temporarily in 1996, but did not hear it go off when Albus Dumbledore and Harry Potter arrived, as he was in the bath.

Locomotor Wibbly (Jelly-Legs Curse) Type: Curse, Jinx Pronunciation: loh-koh-MOH-tor WIB-lee Description: Causes the victim's legs to collapse as if they were turned to jelly.

Seen/Mentioned: During the September 1999 riot that took place during the Puddlemere United/Holyhead Harpies Quidditch game, a lot of Harpy supporters were using this jinx.

(Knitting Charm) Type: Charm Description: Knitting needles knit automatically.

Lacarnum Inflamari Type: Charm Pronunciation: la-KAR-num in-flah-MAR-ee Description: Ignites cloaks. Seen/Mentioned: Etymology: Latin inflammo, or the verb inflammatio meaning "to set on fire". Lacarnum, from the Latin “lacerna”, meaning “cloak”.

Langlock Type: Jinx Pronunciation: LANG-lock Description: Sticks a victim's tongue to the roof of their mouth. Created by Severus Snape. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Harry on Peeves and twice on Argus Filch, to general applause. Etymology: Probably from the French langue ("tongue") and the English "lock".

Levicorpus Type: Jinx Pronunciation: leh-vee-COR-pus Description: Hoists people up into the air by their ankle. Created by Severus Snape. Seen/Mentioned: Apparently invented by the Half-Blood Prince; it is a non-verbal-only spell (although it is whispered by Hermione in 1997). Harry Potter learnt it by reading the notes written by the Half-Blood Prince. He used it on Ron. The previous year, Harry had seen (through the Pensieve used by Severus Snape) his father, James Potter, use the spell against Professor Snape. Etymology: Latin levare, "raise" and corpus, "body" or "corpse".

Levioso Type: Charm Pronunciation: leh-vee-OH-so Description: Makes objects levitate. Etymology: Latin levo, "raise, lift up", or levis, "light" (of weight).

Liberacorpus Type: Counter-Jinx Pronunciation: LIB-er-ah-cor-pus Description: The counter-jinx to Levicorpus. Seen/Mentioned: Harry used the spell in 1996 to counteract Levicorpus he had inadvertently cast on Ron. Etymology: Latin liberare, "to free", and corpus, "body" or "corpse". Notes: It is not clear why Levicorpus has a specific counter-spell, and is not neutralised by simply using Finite Incantatem, although this could be due to the fact that Snape invented the spell and therefore made it irreversible except by its specific counter-curse.

Locomotor (Locomotion Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: loh-kuh-MOH-tor Description: Allows a witch or wizard to levitate a target a few inches off of the ground and then move said object in any given direction. Similarly to the Summoning Charm, a specific object can be moved by calling the object aloud after saying the incantation.

Parvati Patil and Lavender Brown used this spell to race their pencil cases around the edges of the table. A variation seen in 1998 is Piertotum Locomotor, which caused the statues of Hogwarts to be animated. Etymology: Latin locus (place) and moto, "set in motion" (passive motor), or English locomotion.

Locomotor Mortis (Leg-Locker Curse) Type: Curse Pronunciation: LOH-koh-moh-tor MOR-tis Description: Sticks legs together. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Draco Malfoy on Neville Longbottom in 1991. Used by Harry Potter on Draco Malfoy, who deflected it, in 1996. Etymology: English locomotion, "movement" + Latin mortis, "of death". Notes: It is unclear whether or how this spell is related to the Locomotor spell. It could, however, be that the curse "locks" any part of the body in accordance to where it is pointed, or moves the body into a position of the caster's choosing whilst placing them into an immobile state. It is possible that Draco had pointed his wand at Neville and the curse "locked" his legs together.

Lumos (Wand-Lighting Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: LOO-mos Description: Illuminates the tip of the caster's wand, allowing the caster to see in the dark. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore to illuminate the dark cave in 1997. Etymology: Latin lumen, "light". Notes: opposite incantation, Nox, puts the light out.

Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione to free Ron from the Devil's Snare. The incantation was only used in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Etymology: Derived from two words; the Latin lumen, meaning "light", and the Latin word for "sun", which in its accusative case is "solem". Notes: It is possible that the quality of the light is on the warmer solar end of the spectrum; Considering the known uses that the spell has been put to, it isn't that much of a stretch to presume that the spell is used to conjure Sunlight.

Magicus Extremos Type: Charm Description: Partnership-based charm that temporarily increases the casters' spell power.

Melofors (Melofors Jinx) Type: Jinx Description: Encases the victim's head in a pumpkin. Seen/Mentioned: Cornelius Fudge was rumoured to have been a victim of this jinx after having been overpowered by Albus Dumbledore in a duel in 1996.

Meteolojinx Recanto Type: Counter-Charm Pronunciation: mee-tee-OH-loh-jinks reh-CAN-toh. Description: Causes weather effects caused by jinxes to cease. Seen/Mentioned: Suggested in 1997 by Arthur Weasley to Ron (disguised as Reginald Cattermole by use of Polyjuice Potion) as the best way to clear up the rain jinx on a Ministry office. Also used by Bartemius Crouch Jnr (Disguised as Alastor Moody) In 1994 to cease the weather effect of the Great Hall's Ceiling insisting it is broken as he told Dumbledore to "Fix his ceiling".

Mobiliarbus Type: Charm Pronunciation: mo-bil-lee-AR-bus Description: Levitates wooden objects a few inches off of the ground and moves them in any given direction. Seen/Mentioned: In 1993, Hermione Granger used the spell to move a Christmas Tree in The Three Broomsticks beside her table to hide Harry Potter, who was in Hogsmeade illegally. Etymology: Latin mobilis, "movable" or "flexible", and arbor (alternatively arbos), "tree". Notes: It is possible that Mobilicorpus and Mobiliarbus are variations of the same basic spell, since they share the "Mobili-" stem.

Mobilicorpus Type: Charm Pronunciation: moh-bil-lee-COR-pus Description: Levitates and moves bodies. Seen/Mentioned: Sirius Black used it on Severus Snape in 1994. It was probably used on Peter Pettigrew by Lord Voldemort in the graveyard to make him come forward. Etymology: Latin mobilis, "movable", and corpus, "body".

Morsmordre Type: Dark charm Pronunciation: morz-MOR-druh Description: Conjures the Dark Mark, which is the sign of the Death Eaters. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Bartemius Crouch Junior in 1994. Also seen in 1997 over Hogwarts castle to lure Albus Dumbledore to his death. It was apparently invented by Lord Voldemort. Etymology: Latin mors, "death", and mordere, meaning "to bite" (or its French derivative mordre); this would appear to be associated with the name of Lord Voldemort's followers, the Death Eaters. The English murder might also contribute. Notes: A possible translation might be "take a bite out of death", a fitting phrase for Death Eaters.

Mucus ad Nauseam (Curse of the Bogies) Type: Curse Pronunciation: MYOO-kus ahd NAW-zee-um Description: Gives the victim a nasty cold and an extremely runny nose that can cause the victim to collapse if it is not treated.

Seen/Mentioned: In 1994, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger used this spell to turn off their wand-lights in the Shrieking Shack. Used in 1998 when Harry was in the passage beneath the Whomping Willow which leads to the Shrieking Shack. Lumos's power can be arranged so that a powerful wizard can make the charm illuminate intensely or to the wizards liking by loudness of incantation. For example "LUMOS!!!" would be powerful and "lumos" would be weaker. Also used by Harry Potter in 1998 to turn off the light so he could hide the Marauder's Map from Severus Snape. Etymology: Latin nox, meaning "night".

Nebulus Type: Charm Pronunciation: NEH-bu-lus Description: Creates fog from the tip of the wand. Seen/Mentioned: In 1927, Albus Dumbledore used this spell to conjure a fog in London to provide concealment for his meeting with Newton Scamander.

Obliviate (Memory Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: oh-BLI-vee-ate Description: Erases specific memories. Seen/Mentioned: First seen in 1993 when used by Gilderoy Lockhart on Harry and Ron; the spell backfired due to a faulty wand, costing Lockhart most of his own memory. Also, Hermione Granger used this spell to wipe her parents memories in 1997. Again, it was used in 1997 when Hermione Granger used the spell on 2 Death Eaters who had followed Harry, Ron, and Hermione after their escape from Bill Weasley's and Fleur Delacour's wedding. Etymology: Latin oblivisci, "forget". The spell is most often used against Muggles who have seen something of the Wizarding world. Notes: Invented by Mnemone Radford, who became the Ministry's first Obliviator. The Ministry of Magic employees assigned to modifying the memories of Muggles are called Obliviators. The charm can be broken by powerful magic, or extreme duress, as Lord Voldemort was able to torture Bertha Jorkins into remembering details that Barty Crouch Snr had forced her to forget using the charm. In this case, it was also shown that if the charm is too powerful, it can cause the target to develop a bad memory. This spell differs from the False memory charm.

Obscuro Type: Conjuration Pronunciation: ob-SKYUR-oh Description: Blindfolds the target. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione Granger in 1997 to obstruct the portrait of Phineas Nigellus's view of their location.

Orchideous Type: Conjuration Pronunciation: or-KID-ee-us Description: Conjures a bouquet of flowers. Seen/Mentioned: Used in 1994 by Mr Ollivander to test Fleur Delacour's wand. Probably used non-verbally by Tom Riddle to present flowers to Mrs Smith. Etymology: English orchid and Latin suffix -eous, "of or bearing (the root word)". Notes: A variation of this spell may have been used when Hermione Granger conjured a Christmas wreath to place on James and Lily Potter's graves in 1997.

Oscausi Type: Dark charm Pronunciation: os-SCOW-zee Description: Seal someone's mouth shut, making it appear it was never there. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Leta Lestrange on a girl from Gryffindor when they were both in their third year at Hogwarts. The Gryffindor girl was speaking ill of Lestrange behind her back until Lestrange emerged from hiding nearby, and muted the Gryffindor girl with this spell. Etymology: Possibly derived as a portmanteau of os, Latin for "mouth", and clausi (a conjugated form of claudo), Latin for "I shut". It may additionally be a pun or wordplay on scusi, the Italian interjection for "excuse me".

Pack Type: Charm Description: Packs luggage. Seen/Mentioned: Used in 1994 by Remus Lupin in his office, and in 1995 by Nymphadora Tonks, once verbally and again non-verbally.

(Pain extraction spell) Type: Unknown Description: Invented by Isidora Morganach, this ancient magic spell could extract the feeling of pain from an individual. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Isidora Morganach throughout the 15th–16th century.

Papyrus Reparo Type: Charm Description: Mends torn pieces of paper. Seen/Mentioned: This spell was used by Newton Scamander in 1927 to restore a torn postcard from Porpentina Goldstein addressed to Queenie Goldstein. Notes: This spell is a variation of Reparo.

(Patented Daydream Charm) Type: Charm Description: Gives the spell caster a highly-realistic 30-minute daydream. Side effects include mild drooling and a vacant expression. Seen/Mentioned: These were invented by Fred and George Weasley and sold in 1996 at their joke shop, presumably in the form of some kind of physical object, similar to Skiving Snackboxes.

Partis Temporus Type: Charm Pronunciation: PAR-tis temp-OAR-us Description: Creates a temporary gap in the target. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore in the Crystal Cave in 1997. He uses it so that he and Harry can pass through the ring of fire used to ward off the Inferi. Etymology: Partis is a plural form of the French verb partir, which means "to separate," "to go away," "to leave," or "to depart." Temporis is Latin for "time."

(Pepper Breath) Type: Hex Description: Gives the victim fiery hot breath. Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter learned of this hex from Basic Hexes for the Busy and Vexed while researching spells to use during the Triwizard Tournament and decided not to use it against the dragon he would face in the First Task.

Periculum Type: Charm Pronunciation: pur-ICK-you-lum Description: Produces a burst of red sparks. Seen/Mentioned: Etymology: Periculum is Latin for "danger".

(Permanent Sticking Charm) Type: Charm Description: Sticks objects permanently in place. Seen/Mentioned: First mentioned in 1995, when Sirius Black suspected that his mother's painting was fixed to the wall with such a Charm. It is implied that the portrait in the Muggle Prime Minister's office also has such a charm on it. Notes: It is never said whether the charm prevents the object from being removed by cutting away the section of wall. The incantation could be gluten sempra, meaning glue forever, or adher sempra, which means stick forever, since “adhere” means “to stick”.

Peskipiksi Pesternomi Type: Charm Pronunciation: PES-key PIX-ee PES-ter NO-mee Description: The one time it was used, it had absolutely no effect. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Lockhart to attempt to remove Cornish Pixies. Suggested Etymology: English pesky meaning "annoying", English pixie meaning "a supernatural being", English pester meaning "to annoy", English no for negative and English me for the first person pronoun. Notes: It is not known if the spell works or not. It also suspiciously sounds like "Pesky pixie pester no me."

Petrificus Totalus (Full Body-Bind Curse) Type: Curse Pronunciation: pe-TRI-fi-cus to-TAH-lus Description: Used to temporarily bind the victim's body in a position much like that of a soldier at attention; the victim will usually fall to the ground. Seen/Mentioned: Used in 1991 by Hermione, who was trying to prevent Neville from stopping her, Ron, and Harry from leaving the common room to hunt for the Philosopher's Stone, in the Hall of Prophecy during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries to petrify Antonin Dolohov who was pursuing him and his friends, and used on Harry by Draco Malfoy in the Hogwarts Express in 1996. Etymology: Latin petra, meaning "stone", and fieri (past participle factus), meaning "to become"; totalus comes from Latin "totus", meaning "complete". Note: Albus Dumbledore used this spell on Harry Potter before the Battle of the Astronomy Tower.

Piertotum Locomotor (Animation Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: peer-TOH-tuhm loh-kuh-MOH-tor Description: Brings animates inanimate targets. Seen/Mentioned: In the Battle of Hogwarts, Professor McGonagall used this spell to animate the suits of armour and statues within Hogwarts, to defend the castle. Also used by Albus Dumbledore to enchant the statues on the fountain in the entrance to the Ministry of Magic Department. Etymology: Pier means "friend" or "colleague", totum refers to "the whole" or "total", and locomotor means "the movement of".

Piscifors Type: Transfiguration Pronunciation: PIS-ee-fors Description: Transforms things into fish.

(Placement Charm) Type: Charm Description: Magically places an object in or on a specific location. Placement Charms can be used to place a bridle on a kelpie to render it harmless and docile.

Point Me (Four-Point Spell) Type: Charm Description: Makes the caster's wand point due north. Seen/Mentioned: Hermione Granger taught it to Harry Potter, who used it during the Triwizard Tournament, particularly to navigate the hedge maze during the Third Task. Note: This spell may be an invention of Hermione Granger. Given that the incantation is English (whereas almost all other mentioned spells have incantations based on Latin or other old languages) and that none of the other champions of the Tournament seem to use the spell, it seems likely that Hermione invented the spell.

Portus Type: Charm Pronunciation: POR-tus Description: Turns an object into a portkey. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore in 1996. Etymology: Latin porta, meaning "gate", or portare, meaning "to carry" (as in to carry the caster or target to another location). There is a Latin word portus, meaning "harbour", but it is inappropriate in this context. Notes: Portkeys were first seen in 1994 as a means for Harry, Hermione, and the Weasleys to go to the Quidditch World Cup. However, the spell used in its creation was not seen until 1995.

Prior Incantato (Reverse Spell) Type: Charm Pronunciation: pri-OR in-can-TAH-toh Description: Forces a wand to show an "echo" of the last spell it performed. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Amos Diggory in 1994 to discover the last spell cast by Harry's wand after it was found in the hands of Winky, a house-elf. Etymology: Latin prior, "previous", and incantare, "to speak a spell" (past participle incantatum). Notes: Can manifest in the form of the Reverse Spell effect, or Priori Incantatem, when wands with the same core attempt to do battle. Notes (2): Apparently the spell is cumulative, with the user able to go further back and see spells that the wand performed after the latest spell. Harry suggests this in 1997. Hermione does not contradict his claim, suggesting this is true.

(Proficiency Charm) Type: Charm Description: Boosts an individual's performance with certain talents.

(Protean Charm) Type: Charm Description: Causes copies of an object to be remotely affected by changes made to the original. Seen/Mentioned: First used in 1995. Hermione Granger put the charm on a number of fake Galleons. Instead of the serial number around the edge of the coin, the time and date of the next meeting of Dumbledore's Army appeared. It is possible that this charm is used on the Death Eaters' Dark Marks. Etymology: The English word Protean derives from Proteus, a god in Greek Mythology. Proteus was a shape-shifter, able to take many forms. As a result, the word Protean has come to refer to versatility, flexibility, or an ability to assume many forms. "Protean" is also similar to "protein", derived from the same root, meaning a variable, flexible substance which forms strong bonds between its constituent parts. Notes: On Hermione's fake galleons, when the date changes, the coin becomes hot, alerting the owner to look at the coin. This may not be a feature of the original charm. It may be a Flagrante Curse, when the Protean Charm changes the coin the curse may activate. It would seem from this that you can decide what the effects on the charmed objects are. Possibly by saying something along the lines of "Protean flagrante." although this is just speculation. Notes (2): The Protean Charm is a N.E.W.T. standard charm, according to Terry Boot, who is incredulous that Hermione can perform the spell even though she is only in her fifth year (N.E.W.T.s are taken in the seventh year at Hogwarts).

(Protection Charm) Type: Charm Description: Enhanced an individual's defence.

Protego (Shield Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: pro-TAY-goh Description: Invisible shield that reflects spells and blocks physical entities. Seen/Mentioned: First seen in 1995, in which Harry is taught this spell by Hermione in preparation for the third task in the Triwizard Tournament. Albus Dumbledore uses a similar spell which reverses the construction of glass back into sand when Voldemort sent shards of glass to try to stab Dumbledore. Fred and George Weasley enchanted hats they dubbed "shield hats" with this spell in 1997. Etymology: Latin protego, "I cover" or "I protect". Notes: The original description of this spell states that it rebounds minor jinxes to the caster. However, it is shown that it can also be used to reflect or lessen the effects of more powerful spells, depending on the skill of the caster. In 1998, it is also shown to be able to create a sort of force-field across an area, and is used frequently to prevent two participants in an argument from reaching each other.

Protego Diabolica Type: Dark Arts Pronunciation: pro-TAY-goh dia-BOHL-i-cub Description: Conjures a protective ring of black fire around the caster that only affects their enemies.

Protego horribilis Type: Charm Pronunciation: pro-TAY-goh horr-uh-BIHL-ihs Description: A powerful shield charm against dark magic. Seen/Mentioned: Cast by Professor Flitwick in an attempt to strengthen the castle's defences in the Battle of Hogwarts. Etymology: Latin Protego, "I protect", and Horribilis, "horrible , frightful, dreadful".

Protego Maxima Pronunciation: pro-TAY-goh MAX-ee-MaTwoProtego Type: Charm Description: A powerful shield charm against dark magic. A stronger and bigger version of Protego, especially when combined with other wizards casting it at the same time. Was so powerful that it could also disintegrate people that came too close and tried to enter it. Seen/Mentioned: Cast by Professor Flitwick, Professor McGonagall, Professor Slughorn and Mrs Weasley in an attempt to strengthen the castle's defences in the Battle of Hogwarts. Etymology: Latin Protego, "I protect"

Protego totalum Type: Charm Pronunciation: pro-TAY-goh toh-TAH-lum Description: Protects an area for an extended period of time. Seen/Mentioned: In 1997, this was one of the spells used by Hermione Granger and Harry Potter to protect their camp site from unwanted visitors. Etymology: Latin protego meaning "to protect" and Latin totus meaning "as a whole".

Pullus Type: Jinx, Transfiguration Description: Transforms things into chickens.

(Purple Firecrackers) Type: Charm Description: Causes purple firecrackers to shoot out from the tip of one's wand. Seen/Mentioned: On 31 October 1991, Albus Dumbledore used this spell to get the attention of panicking diners in the Great Hall when a troll was loose in the castle.

(Pus Squirting Hex) Type: Hex Description: Causes yellowish goo to squirt from one's nose. Seen/Mentioned: Morfin Gaunt used this spell on Bob Ogden.

Quietus (Quietening Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: KWIY-uh-tus Description: Makes a target sound quieter. It is the counter-charm to the Amplifying Charm. Seen/Mentioned: Used in 1994 by Ludo Bagman. Etymology: Latin quietus, "calm" or "quiet".

Redactum Skullus (Head Shrink Spell) Type: Dark charm Pronunciation: reh-DAK-tum SKULL-us Description: Shrinks the head of the target. It is the counter-spell to Engorgio Skullus.

Reducio (Shrinking Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: re-DOO-see-oh Description: Makes an object shrink in size. Its counter-charm is the Engorgement Charm. Seen/Mentioned: In 1997, Harry Potter, after checking his Blackthorn wand on the Bluebell Flames with Engorgio, casts this spell to shorten the formerly enlarged flames. Etymology: English reduce, "to shrink". (Latin has a verb reducere, present tense reduco. This is the source of the English "reduce", but has a different meaning.) Also in Italian Riduco first person present tense of Ridurre, same root of Latin Reducere. Notes: Whether Reducio could also be used by itself rather than countering Engorgio is unknown. If it could, it would shrink normal sized items into miniature versions of themselves. References in 1992 by Arthur Weasley to "shrinking door keys" make this seem likely.

Reducto (Reductor Curse) Type: Curse Pronunciation: re-DUK-toh Description: Breaks objects. In stronger usages, disintegrates them. Seen/Mentioned: In 1995, Harry used it on one of the hedges of the Triwizard maze and ends up burning a small hole in it; in 1995, Gryffindors in Harry Potter's year referenced Parvati Patil as being able to reduce a table full of Dark Detectors to ashes, and Harry and his friends later used the spell in the Department of Mysteries against the Death Eaters, shattering many Prophecy Orbs in the process; in 1997, a member of the Order of the Phoenix attempted to use this spell to break down a door which Death Eaters had blocked when the Death Eaters had cornered Dumbledore in the Lightning Struck Tower. Etymology: English reduce, "to bring down;destroy".

(Refilling Charm) Type: Charm Description: Refills whatever the caster points at with the drink originally in the container. Seen/Mentioned: Used in 1996, when Harry noticed that Hagrid and Slughorn were running out of wine.

Reparifors Type: Healing Spell Pronunciation: re-PAR-i-fors Description: Reverts minor magically-induced ailments, such as paralysis and poisoning.

Reverte Type: Charm Pronunciation: ree-VUHR-tay Description: Returns objects to their original positions or states. Seen/Mentioned: In 1927, Leta Lestrange used this spell on the record towers in the French Ministry of Magic Records Room at the French Ministry of Magic Headquarters, in an attempt to flee from pursuing Matagots. This sent all the record towers - previously summoned by Lestrange - flying backwards and spinning back into their original positions in the ground. Etymology: Reverte is derived from Latin for "you shall return", being a second-person imperative form (singular, present, active) of the verb reverto ("I return, or turn back").

Relashio (Revulsion Jinx) Type: Jinx Pronunciation: ruh-LASH-ee-oh Description: Forces the target to release its grip on whatever it is holding. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Harry Potter against Grindylows in the second task of the Triwizard Tournament. Also used in 1997 and 1998, when Hermione used this spell to free Mary Cattermole from the chained chair and to free the Ukrainian Ironbelly on which they were to get out from Gringotts. Etymology: Probably from the French verb relâcher ="to release, to set free", or Italian rilascio (pronounced the same way as the spell)= "I release".

Rennervate (Reviving Spell) Type: Charm Pronunciation: RENN-a-vate Description: Awakens an unconscious victim. It is consequently the counter-charm to the Stunning Spell. Seen/Mentioned: In 1994, Amos Diggory used it to wake up Winky and Albus Dumbledore used it to wake up Viktor Krum. Harry Potter later used it to try and reawaken a cursed Dumbledore in the seaside cave. Etymology: Rennervate means "to energise.

Reparifarge Type: Untransfiguration Pronunciation: reh-PAR-i-farj Description: Used to reverse incomplete transformations. Seen/Mentioned: Found in A Beginner's Guide to Transfiguration.

Reparo (Mending Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: reh-PAH-roh Description: Seamlessly repairs broken objects. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Albus Dumbledore and Horace Slughorn to repair damage the latter had done to a Muggle home in Budleigh Babberton where he had been hiding. It was also used by Harry Potter to repair his wand with the Elder Wand Etymology: Latin reparo meaning "to renew" or "repair". Notes: Reparo has been seen to repair non-magical items, however it seems to have an inability at repairing magical items or items that have magic placed upon them. An example is Harry's Nimbus 2000 shown in 1993 which he is told is irreparable after it is destroyed by the Whomping Willow. Wands are also irreparable, as shown in 1992 when Ron's wand snapped after he and Harry crashed onto the Hogwarts grounds. Despite his use of Spellotape, Ron's wand malfunctioned throughout the year. Another example is in 1997 when Hermione tried to fix Harry's broken wand, which was snapped by her errant Blasting Curse. However, Harry repaired his wand with the Elder Wand. Since the Elder Wand is the most powerful wand in creation, it makes sense that it would produce the most powerful Mending Charm.

Repello Muggletum (Muggle-Repelling Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: ruh-PEL-oh MUH-guhl-tuhm Description: Keeps Muggles away from wizarding places by causing them to remember important meetings they missed and to cause the Muggles in question to forget what they were doing. Seen/Mentioned: It was used to keep Muggles away from the Quidditch World Cup. Hogwarts was also said to be guarded by the Muggle-Repelling Charm. It was also used by Harry and Hermione on numerous occasions, among many other spells, to protect and hide their camp site in 1997.

Repello Inimicum Type: Charm Pronunciation: re-PEH-lloh ee-nee-MEE-cum Description: Disintegrates the persons entering this charm. Seen/Mentioned: This spell was used by professors Filius Flitwick and Horace Slughorn along with Order of the Phoenix member Molly Weasley to protect Hogwarts Castle in 1998. Etymology: Latin "Repello", meaning "Push Back" and "inimicum", the accusative singular form of "inimīcus" meaning "foe" or "enemy".

Revelio (Revelio Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: reh-VEL-ee-oh Description: Reveals secrets about a person or object.

Reversis Description: Unknown effect.

Rictusempra (Tickling Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: ric-tuhs-SEM-pra Description: Tickles the target until they become weak with laughter. Seen/Mentioned: By Harry Potter on Draco Malfoy in 1992, when they fought in the Duelling Club. Etymology: Possibly the sum of two words; The Latin rictus, meaning "The expanse of an open mouth", and semper, meaning "Always". Rictus is generally used as an expression of terror, however, "always an open mouth" would, in most cases, correspond to the act of laughing uncontrollably. Riddikulus (Boggart Banishing Spell) Type: Charm Pronunciation: rih-dih-KUL-lus Description: A spell used when fighting a Boggart, "Riddikulus" forces the Boggart to take the appearance of an object the caster is focusing on. Best results can be achieved if the caster is focusing on something humorous, with the desire that laughter will weaken the Boggart. Seen/Mentioned: Taught by Remus Lupin during third year Defence Against the Dark Arts, where his students had the opportunity to practise the spell on an actual Boggart. Etymology: Latin word ridiculus, "laughable" (but perhaps "absurd" or "silly" in this context). Notes: The effect of the spell seems to rely primarily on the state of mind of the caster. It doesn't actually change the shape of a boggart into something humorous, but rather whatever the caster is concentrating on at the moment of the casting, as when Neville was thinking of his grandmother's dress. Presumably, Mrs Weasley couldn't take her mind off of her fears for her family, so the Boggart was changed into other members of the family rather than something humorous.

(Rose Growth) Type: Transfiguration Description: Causes rosebushes grow at an unusually fast pace. Notes: This spell may be related to Herbivicus.

(Rowboat spell) Type: Charm Description: Makes boats row themselves. Seen/mentioned: Hagrid used the spell on the row-boats at Hogwarts, to transport the First years from Hogsmeade station to the Boathouse. It may also have been the spell that he used to propel the row-boat that he used to take Harry from the Hut-on-the-Rock back to the mainland in 1991.

Salvio hexia Type: Charm Pronunciation: SAL-vee-oh HECKS-ee-ah Description: Protects against hexes. Etymology: Possibly derived from the Latin "salveo," meaning "to be in good health," and used as a form of greeting and farewell, and a pseudo-Latin derivative of the English word "hex"—hence, "Farewell, hexes!" Seen/Mentioned: Harry and Hermione cast this spell to strengthen their camp-site's defences against intruders in 1997. Notes: Possibly the Hex Deflection spells the fake Moody mentioned in 1994.

(Sardine Hex) Type: Dark charm Description: Makes the victim sneeze out sardines. Seen/Mentioned: Rubeus Hagrid once had this spell used on him.

(Sauce-making spell) Type: Conjuration Description: Conjures a creamy sauce from the tip of the wand. Seen/Mentioned: Molly Weasley used this spell in August of 1994 to pour some sauce in a pot to make dinner for her family, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger. Notes: According to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration, food can't be conjured. This implies that sauce is not considered "good food," as things suitable for consumption may created with the spell, such as birds.

Scourgify (Scouring Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: SKUR-ji-fy Description: Cleans objects Seen/Mentioned: First used by Nymphadora Tonks to clean Hedwig's cage in 1995. Later, Ginny Weasley performed the spell to clean up the Stinksap on the Hogwarts Express, also used by James Potter on Severus Snape after he shouted various curses and obscenities at him. Etymology: Perhaps related to English scour, "clean". -ify is a common English suffix meaning "to make …". Therefore scourgify could mean "to make clean".

(Sealant Charm) Type: Charm Description: Magically seals envelopes. Seen/Mentioned: All applicants for wand permits in the United States were required by the Magical Congress of the United States of America to close the envelope in which they sent their applications back to the Wand Permit Office with this spell. Notes: This may be the parchment-sealing spell that Dolores Umbridge used in 1995.

(Sea urchin jinx) Type: Jinx Description: This spell begins to transform the victim into a sea urchin. Seen/Mentioned: This spell was used on 2 May, 1998, during the Battle of Hogwarts, by Percy Weasley on an Imperiused Pius Thicknesse.

Sectumsempra Type: Curse Pronunciation: sec-tum-SEMP-rah Description: Lacerates the target, as if they have been "slashed by a sword." Subsequently, the target can easily bleed to death from the wounds. This curse was invented by Severus Snape, to be used against his personal enemies. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Harry in 1997 against Draco Malfoy, and then later against both the Inferi in Lord Voldemort's Horcrux cave, and Snape used it against George Weasley (was unintentional; aimed for a Death Eater that tried to curse Lupin) in the Order's flight from Privet Drive. Harry learned it in Snape's old Potions textbook. In 1998, the spell is said to be Severus Snape's "signature" spell. Etymology: Latin sectum, "cut", and semper, "always". Notes: The spell can apparently be used against any object, but was not effective when used against Inferi because they could not feel pain or bleed. The movement of the wand seems to affect how someone is cut, suggested by the erratic patterns of slashes left on Draco Malfoy's face and chest, produced by Harry Potter's wild wand-swings while using the spell against Draco. Wounds caused by this spell can be healed as proved by Severus Snape who after Harry hit Draco Malfoy with this spell he healed Draco's wounds and told him to go and get treated with dittany at once so that he would even avoid any sign of any wound. However it seems that it depends on the caster's magical abilities because Molly Weasley could not heal and restore George Weasley's ear that was cursed off by this spell.

(Shield penetration spell) Type: Spell Pronunciation: unknown Description: Annihilates magical enchantments and shields. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Voldemort to break the enchantments placed around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1998 by Filius Flitwick, Minerva McGonagall, and Molly Weasley.

(Shooting Spell) Type: Spell Description: Used to shoot objects Seen/Mentioned: This spell was used by Harry Potter and Ronald Weasley in 1997 on their Horcrux hunt in an attempt to catch a rabbit for food.

(Smashing spell) Type: Spell Description: Produces explosions

Serpensortia (Snake Summons Spell) Type: Conjuration Pronunciation: ser-pen-SOR-shah, SER-pehn-SOR-tee-ah Description: Conjures a serpent from the caster's wand. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Draco Malfoy while duelling Harry Potter in 1992. Etymology: Latin serpens meaning "a snake" and Latin ortis meaning "source".

Silencio (Silencing Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: sih-LEN-see-oh Description: Makes something silent. Seen/Mentioned: First used by Hermione in 1996 to silence a frog and a raven in Charms class, then later used to silence a Death Eater that was trying to tell his comrades where they were. Etymology: Probably Latin silentium, "silence". Also, silencio and silêncio (which is closer to the English pronunciation) mean "silence" in Spanish and Portuguese, respectively.

Skurge (Skurge Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: SKURJ Description: Cleans up ectoplasm and frightens ghosts and other spirits. Seen/Mentioned: Taught in second year Charms class.

(Slippery Jinx) Type: Jinx Description: Makes an object slippery and difficult to hold. Seen/Mentioned:

Slugulus Eructo (Slug-vomiting Charm) Type: Curse Description: Forces the victim to burp up slimy slugs. Seen/Mentioned: In 1992, Ronald Weasley attempted to curse Draco Malfoy with this spell after the latter insulted Hermione Granger, but was unsuccessful as his wand at the time was broken, and thus his curse backfired on himself.

(Sonorous Charm) Type: Charm Description: This charm emits a magnified roar from the tip of the wand. This noise disrupts all in its path, and can even be used to harm opponents. Notes: Not to be confused with the Amplifying Charm, Sonorus.

Sonorus (Amplifying Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: soh-NOHR-uhs Description: Makes the target sound louder. The counter-charm is the Quietening Charm, Quietus. Seen/Mentioned: By Ludo Bagman in 1994 at the beginning of the Quidditch World Cup and by Albus Dumbledore several times in the Triwizard Championship. Used by Lord Voldemort several times during the Battle of Hogwarts in 1998. Etymology: Latin sonorus, "loud; noisy".

Specialis Revelio Type: Charm Pronunciation: spe-see-AL-is reh-VEL-ee-oh Description: Reveals spells cast on objects or potions. Seen/Mentioned: Used by Hermione Granger to find out more of Harry's Advanced Potion-Making book in 1996. Used by Ernie Macmillan to find out ingredients of a potion. Etymology: Latin specialis, "particular;individual" and revelare (present tense revelo), "unveil". Notes: In 1994, Severus Snape cast a similar spell, but with different words ("Reveal your secrets!"), on the Marauder's Map, though he may have just been saying those words as he cast the spell non-verbally.

(Sponge-Knees Curse) Type: Curse Description: Makes the target's legs spongy, making it difficult for them to walk. Seen/Mentioned: Used during the September 1999 riot that took place at a Puddlemere vs. Holyhead Harpies match. The Puddlemere supporters used this curse against the Holyhead Harpies supporters in retaliation to the Jelly-Brain Jinx. Notes: This spell is similar in effect to the Jelly-Legs Curse.

Spongify (Softening Charm) Type: Charm Pronunciation: SPUN-ji-fye Description: Softens objects, making them rubbery and bouncy. Seen/Mentioned: This charm is found in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 1.

Steleus Type: Dark charm Pronunciation: STEH-lee-us, or perhaps STEH-nee-us Description: A spell that causes the victim to sneeze for a short period of time. This spell is used in duelling to distract the opponent. Etymology: Sternius derives from the Latin sternuo, meaning I sneeze.

(Stinging Jinx) Type: Jinx, Hex Description: Stings the flesh of a target. This spell is also known as Seen/Mentioned: Harry Potter inadvertently used one on Severus Snape during Occlumency lessons in 1996. It was non-debilitating in that instance, but it is stronger when intentionally cast, as shown by the results of Hermione Granger's Stinging Hex used on Harry Potter in 1998 to purposefully distort Harry's appearance. Notes: Also known as the Stinging Hex.

(Stretching Jinx) Type: Jinx Description: Stretches the target. Seen/Mentioned: Molly Weasley remarked in 1996 that recent growth spurts had made her son Ron and his friend, Harry Potter, look as if this jinx had been cast upon them both.

Stupefy (Stunning Spell) Type: Charm Pronunciation: STOO-puh-fye Description: Stuns the target, rendering them unconscious. Seen/Mentioned: Often; particularly by a number of wizards and witches (including Dolores Umbridge) against Minerva McGonagall in 1996. It's also taught by Harry in his D.A. meetings. Etymology: English stupefy, which means 'to put into a stupor', a temporary vegetative state. Notes: The physical manifestation of the spell is a beam of red light emanating from the caster's wand. The spell wears off after a short time, and can be countered by Rennervate. Nearly useless on magic-resistant creatures such as dragons, trolls and giants unless more than one Stupefy spell is used at the same time. The force of the spell is additive or perhaps even exponential, and it can cause severe injury if many spells are used on a target that is not normally resistant to its effects. Hagrid, as a half-giant, was impervious to this spell - or at least, a lone one.

(Supersensory Charm) Type: Charm Description: Grants the caster to have enhanced senses, or to be able to sense things they would not normally sense. Seen/Mentioned: Mentioned by Ron outside of the Hogwarts Express in 2017 as a potential substitute for using mirrors while driving a Muggle auto mobile.

Surgito (Disenchantment Charm) Type: Counter-charm Pronunciation: SUR-jee-toh Description: Counter-charm that can be used to remove enchantments. Seen/Mentioned: In 1927, Newton Scamander used Surgito to lift an enchantment that was placed on Jacob Kowalski. As a result of the spell, Kowalski awoke from the dreamlike enchanted state, and regained an awareness of reality in the present. Etymology: Surgito is a Latin word in the imperative form meaning "you/he/she shall arise, or get up", and is a conjugation of the verb surgo ("I arise"). The etymology is appropriate, considering that the effects of the spell on Jacob Kowalski can be likened to waking up from a confused, dreamlike state.
