Apparition
Spell Name: Apparition
Incantation:
Pronunciation:
Spell Branch: Charms
Magical Discipline(s):
Appearance: The wix will twist in place to disapparate, producing a loud cracking or popping noise. The wix instantly disappears and re-appears in the intended location. That same noise occurs when a wix arrives.
The wix may be aware of a split second of twisting through what may appear to be a bright sort of nether.
Description: Apparition is a magical method of transportation. It is basically the magical action of travelling by having the user focus on a desired location in their mind. After the user is properly focused they then disappear from the current location and instantly reappear at the desired location. In short, Apparition is a form of teleportation. It is by far the fastest way to get to a desired destination, but is tricky to pull off correctly and disastrous if botched.
To Apparate:
- Most wix require a wand to Apparate effectively.
- The wix must picture clearly the location they're going and realize a focused and deliberate intent.
- The wix spins or twists smartly in place and casts the spell mentally
Side-Along Apparition
- With intent, a wix can Apparate themselves and someone holding close to them.
- The passenger does not need to have the ability or consent to be Side-Alonged.
Risks
- Unfocused or panicked Apparition can result in Splinching or ending up at the wrong place.
- It is possible to Apparate a place a wix has never been, but can be risky.
- Some wix experience nausea when Apparating.
Limitations
- The Anti-Disapparition Jinx is cast upon a location to prevent Apparition *from* that location. House elves are unaffected by the jinx.
- The Anti-Apparition Charm prevents Apparition into a location
- In Forensic Magic there is no way to trace where someone Apparated to or Apparated from.
