Barrier Line

Spell Name: Barrier Line

Incantation: Unknown

Pronunciation: Unknown

Spell Branch: Charms

Magical Discipline(s): Enchantments

Appearance: A line of glowing bright yellow light that shimmers.

Description: The line acts as a repelling barrier to those that don't qualify to pass. It recognises people by wand and can be attuned to specific wands to allow them through, provided they have their wands out. Anyone else who breaches the spell will be hurled backwards.

Regulations: Legal

Skill Level: Advanced

Etymology:

References: One is cast by Dieter Morgenstern to close off the scene of the Leaky Cauldron post-Nov 5th explosion so that he can carry out his investigations undisturbed. The line is attuned to colleagues, as demonstrated by Sameera Taylor passing through with no problems to talk to him in Picking Apart the Pieces.

Notes: This spell is similar to the Age Line Dumbledore cast around the Goblet of Fire on 30 October, 1994, to prevent underage students from entering the Triwizard Tournament.
