Description: Avenseguim is the incantation of a charm that turned a target object into a tracking device.

Skill Level: Advanced

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.

• Garrett Dawson creates a fake ladybird beetle and imbues it with this spell to keep track of Cassiopeia Collins's movements. [1]
