Vera Verto		Vera Verto	Transfiguration		Vera Verto is the incantation of a Transfiguration spell used to transform an animal into a water goblet. Animals susceptible to this spell were specifically aves, rats, and felines. This spell is moderately difficult to perform and can be disastrous if done wrong. Side effects include the goblet becoming furry or having a tail. Wand movement and posture were both very important for this spell, as Professor McGonagall noted when teaching her second-year class in September of 1992. To perform the spell, one must tap the targeted animal three times sharply with their wand and then point their wand directly at the animal, incanting Vera Verto. Taught in second year transfiguration and revised in fourth year.
Vipera Evanesca		Vipera Evanesca	Transfiguration	Counter-Spells	The Snake-Vanishing Spell (Vipera Evanesca) is a transfiguration spell that vanishes snakes. As such, it could be used as a counter-spell for the Snake Summons Spell, the fire to snake spell, or likely any other spell that produced snakes. Taught by fifth year Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
Incanto Activus	Activation Charm	Incanto Activus	Charms		Will activate a deactivated effect of an object, or an effect charmed or enchanted to only occur from an Activation Charm. Counter-charm of and is the Deactication Charm.
Akheta	Age Detection Charm	Akheta	Charms	Enchantments	Can be used to determine the age of an object. As the color shifts through the spectrum and eventually stops, the spellcaster can use the final shade to estimate when the object was first created. Though it gives a good ballpark estimate, it can be almost impossible to estimate exactly. Many investigators match the colors to predetermined charts, but even these are not always precise and hard to determine, especially when getting into very small or very large units of time. White: Indicates minutes and hours Pink: Indicates days Red: Weeks Orange: Months Yellow: Years Green: Decades Blue: Centuries Purple: Millennia Indigo and Black: Even older
Linea Aetatis	Age Line Spell	Linea Aetatis...	Charms	Defensive	Causes anyone below the specified age who crosses the line to be propelled backwards over it. If the offending wizard has used some means to magically alter his age, the line may also cause him to suffer the extremes of it (such as growing a beard after having taken an Aging Potion, or having one’s skin wrinkle if he tried an Aging Jinx), if the line’s caster is a sufficiently accomplished wizard. The spell’s duration depends on the intent of the caster, but is rarely less than twenty-four hours. It can last up to a month, after which it must be reinforced. Witches and wizards who have some skill with the spell might cast it on rooms in their homes which they do not wish their children to enter. Advanced to cast at all, Master to cast for longer periods of time and unfooled by aging enchantments or potions.

A very powerful or experienced caster can pick and choose targets from a group; a less experienced caster will indiscriminately Stun everyone within range of the spell. The Stun effect lasts briefly (about a minute), substantially less than a normal Stunner.
Anchor Charm	Anchor Charm	La'angal	Charms		The anchor charm is used to anchor an object (usually one end of a string or rope) to a surface; the more skilled a caster, the more assured its hold. It is often used by Werewolf Hunters in India, in tandem with Tenacious Twine. Anchor charms are also popular with rock climbers.
Amato Animo Animato Animagus	Animagus Spell	Amato Animo Animato Animagus	Charms	Enchantments	Spell used as part of the process of becoming an Animagus.

Pertraho talus	Ankle Grabber Hex	Pertraho talus	Charms	Curses • Defensive • Hexes	Once cast, the hex yanks the victim off their feet by the ankle in the direction of the caster. The caster raises their wand up and back or out to the side and behind to drag the victim in a direction. The stronger the cast and intention (and how experienced) the better the result. Beginners may only see victims feel a tug at an ankle. Advanced variations exist to grab both ankles simultaneously. Lasts for several seconds before dissipating. Can be cast on victims not seen but suspected.
Anti-Apparition Charm	Anti-Apparition Charm		Charms	Enchantments • Jinxes	A location is enchanted to prevent anyone from arriving at that location via Apparition. It's counterpart is the Anti-Disapparition Jinx.

Inflictum Mactabilis	Antonin Dolohov’s Curse	Inflictum Mactabilis		Curses	Causes the complete and permanent cessation of function of whatever it strikes (e.g. a limb would cease to function, internal organs would shut down). When spoken aloud, it is always fatal when it strikes the torso or head. Immediate effect.
Apparition	Apparition		Charms		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. Apparition 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.
Aquaponic Spells	Aquaponic Spells	Sisterium Aquam / Aqua Fluensium	Charms	Enchantments	The specialized family of aquaponic spells allows for the creation of 'hydro-farming' within a closed system by linking pots, tubes and plumbing together. At first appearance, Sisterium Aquam shuts off the flow and Auqa Fluensium starts the flow, but the spells are actually removing and adding elements to an aquatic network created during the enchanting process. Presumably, spells in this family can also modify other fluid systems with precise control when compared to other spells. Also utilized in magical aquaculture.
Ascendio	Ascending Charm	Ascendio	Charms		Ascendio is the incantation of a charm which flings the caster high into the air. The charm also works underwater, propelling the caster above the surface. Taught in seventh year charms at Hogwarts. See also Alarte Ascendare, Levioso, Levicorpus and Wingardium Leviosa.
Aura Perciperium	Aura Sensing Spell	Aura Perciperium	Charms		A wand-user uses the incantation to cast the spell. While the spell is being channeled, it reacts to nearby auras, the magical fields/feelings/breezes that every living thing and object emit. The reaction is signaled to the wand's holder via degrees of tactile, tingling, magical flutters or vibrations. Living things have stronger auras than non living things. Enchanted objects have auras affected by the enchantment. The signal from the wand is stronger the closer you get. The wand need not be pointed in any particular direction to provide feedback, but the wand can focus on an area if it's pointed. Everyone and everything has a distinct aura, and an individuals aura can change over time. It takes an experienced user to be able to identify different subjects in this manner, but it's possible with practice. In very crowded areas, the signals can become very intense and takes practice to filter out what's actually going on. The spell must be channelled - that is, actively maintained by a concious castor. Advanced castors can maintain the spell without as much concentration as a less advanced castor. The spell cannot be maintained while another spell is cast.
Avifors	Avifors Spell	Avifors	Transfiguration	Jinxes	The Avifors Spell is a transfiguration spell that transforms small objects and creatures into birds. The spell is viewed as a jinx when used to transform certain creatures into birds. The Avifors Spell can, at times, be a very complicated spell and some beginning Hogwarts students were known to struggle with it. One student nearly failed the class when he proved unable to transform objects into anything more than eggs. His cousin bragged about this. This spell can also transform certain creatures into birds, like Dugbogs or Blast-Ended Skrewts. It is taught in first year Transfiguration and revised in second year. It is published in The Standard Book of Spells, Grade 2.

Obex	Barrier Spell	Obex	Charms	Defensive	Creates a magical barrier that stops physical objects, but not magic. Used, for example, by wizards to protect themselves against gunshots or other projectile weapons. Enchanted projectiles may pass the barrier, but will usually slow.

Sternumentum Malefico	Bat-Bogey Hex	Sternumentum Malefico		Hexes	Causes the target’s boogers to become batlike, crawling out of the victim’s nose and growing drastically in size to take flight. The hex itself acts only for a few seconds, though the resulting “bats” will flap around for ten minutes before disintegrating.
Battuo inflammata	Battuo inflammata	Battuo inflammata	Charms	Curses • Defensive	Like a firey battering ram, the curse can be used to burst open doors or push through obstacles. It will force objects out the way, burning them as it goes and appears like a jet of flame. Similar to Comcremo but does not wrap around the target but just forces against it. The more skilled the caster the more targeted it can be come and the greater distance it can travel.
Bedazzling Hex	Bedazzling Hex				Similar to a Disillusionment Charm, it can be used to conceal a person or an object. Is also used to make invisibility cloaks.
Brupestus Globuli	Beetles to Buttons	Brupestus Globuli	Transfiguration	Enchantments	Turns beetles and insects like it, into simple buttons. Fancier beetles make fancier buttons. Wand movement required is a tight, complete spiral. Make contact with the beetle upon the final syllable.

Staima	Blood Flow Charm	Staima		Healing	Causes blood flow from an injury to stop. Does not actually repair the damage, so while the victim will not suffer from blood loss (and the blood will, somewhat disconcertingly, continue to flow along the path of veins that have been opened, even if exposed to open air), he may still be susceptible to gangrene or infection. Lasts a few minutes before it must be re-cast.
Incendium Careulagilis	Bluebell Flame Charm	Incendium Careulagilis	Charms		Creates a blue flame that can be moved around without a source, even air. The flames can be sent away from the caster, then transported back to the hand of the caster, or even carried around in a container. The flames create light and heat, but do not actually burn.

Petrificus Totalus	Body-Bind Curse	Petrificus Totalus	Charms		Used to temporarily bind the victim's body in a position much like that of a soldier at attention; this spell does not restrict breathing or seeing, and the victim will usually fall to the ground.
Riddikulus	Boggart-Banishing Charm	Riddikulus	Charms	Counter-Spells • Defensive	A spell used when fighting a Boggart, "Riddikulus" forces the Boggart to take the appearance of an object upon which the caster is concentrating. When used correctly, this will be a humorous form.
Fervefacio	Boiling Charm	Fervefacio	Charms		Causes the heating of the target, boiling, though only on the target and not the air (unlike calefax). Most often used to boil water and other liquids, the larger the volume the more concentration and skill required.
Epoximise	Bonding Spell	Epoximise	Transfiguration		Whereas the similar Sticking Charm makes things stick together with magic, Epoximise actually Transfigures the objects to bond them together. The objects do not need to be touching prior to the spell, as a second flick of the wand towards the secondary target will send the first target there. Trying to remove the objects physically makes the location of the bond stretch like gum. Unlike Sticking Charms that can be made permanent, to do so with transfiguration requires considerable more skill. The spell, if rushed, will fade within a few hours at most unless recast, or some kind of Untransfiguration is needed. The counter spell to a Sticking Charm will not work.
Ossa ruptor	Bone Breaker	Ossa Ruptor	Charms	Hexes	A simple and efficient hex, fractures the recipient's bones. The strength and extent of the fracture depends on how well it is cast (and with how much vehemence). The spell necessitates loud and clear enunciation. It is difficult to cast silently.

Scrinium coerceo	Chest Conjuring Enclosure Charm	scrinium coerceo	Transfiguration		Conjuring transfiguration spell to enclose an object in a conjured wood chest. The wand movement is a square box shape cast from the top right corner and traced anti-clockwise with two taps of the wand careful in the direction of the object. The caster must clearly picture their intent in mind to ensure the correct object and a suitably formed chest to contain it. Is not recommended for live animals, best performed on stationary or tethered objects.
Pullus	Chicken Jinx	Pullus	Transfiguration	Jinxes	Pullus is the incantation of a transforming jinx used to transfigure the target into a chicken; in particular, Erklings were rather vulnerable to this spell.
Sculpo Torva	Chisel Curse	Sculpo Torva		Curses	Causes multiple deep, gouged gashes to be chiseled into the victim. Gashes are usually span the width of the body, are closely and evenly spaced and are quite deep - usually ranging between two and four inches deep. If successful and cast at full strength, victims can bleed out in less than a minute. Victims are often described as resembling a scored piece of meat.

Opressus Exonero	Constriction Curse Counter	Opressus Exonero		Counter-Spells	Relieves the effects of the Constriction Curse. Other spells and potions can do this also, but the counter-curse is the fastest and easiest method.:Also, when cast on the victim, relieves the effect of the Strangulation Hex without attacking the caster (and thus forcing him to change the aim of his wand). As it was not invented for this purpose, it is questionable whether anyone is aware of this side effect.
Containing Shield	Containing Shield	Protego Contineo	Charms	Defensive	Creates a hard magical barrier, which reflects back the spell directed at it to the target. Will protect more than just the caster. Caster and others feel resistance and force from the attack and may be forced backwards. May fail under extreme attack.

Pulvinufi	Cushioning Charm	Pulvinufi	Charms		Makes an area softer, similar to if it was a pillow. The area which the charm affects usually depends on the intent of the caster as well as the skill and concentration. Any substance with a Cushioning Charm on it, even a stone floor, will become soft enough to cushion a fall of at least ten feet without any broken bones and little pain. Sharp points or jagged edges, while still appearing dangerous, develop a thin magical surface around them that is quite rounded and safe.
Vertex ventus	Cyclone charm	Vertex ventus	Charms	Enchantments	A moderate breeze, whose direction is controlled by the wand bearer, gradually builds up into a cyclone. The longer the charm is used the larger and stronger the wind cyclone. Based on Windy Spell

It is easiest to use when sketching a simple object within the caster's line of sight.

The spell allows for the operation of mechanical objects. Wix can use the spell in place of electricity for some muggle gadgets. However, results depend on the complexity of the device. You could operate a blender, for example, as that's a simple motor; to turn on and manipulate a computer is to invite further problems, as highly electrical machines don't perform well around magic.
Surgito	Enchantment Counter-Spell	Surgito	Counter-Spells	Counter-Spells	Spell removes enchantments on people.
Declaro Incantatum	Enchantment Revealing Charm	Declaro Incantatum	Charms		Reveals the traces of magic, and which specific spells have been used if used quickly enough after the event.

Capacious extremis	Extension Charm	Capacious extremis	Transfiguration	Enchantments	The Extension Charm (Capacious extremis) is a charm that expands the internal dimensions of an object without affecting the external dimensions, enhancing its capacity, and rendering its contents lighter. This charm is advanced magic and heavily controlled by the Ministry. Extension Charms were advanced magic and subject to strict Ministry of Magic control. This was because of its potential to create breaches of the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy. There was a law in place that Extension Charms were not to be cast for private use, but only for the production of objects. These objects had been individually approved for manufacture by the relevant Ministry Department. Hogwarts school trunks (like the majority of wizarding luggage) were issued with these charms.

Deflagratio Infernum	Fiendfyre Curse	Deflagratio Infernum		Curses	Creates semi-sentient Dark fire that consumes everything in its path. The flames do not have the physical weaknesses of real fire (i.e., immune to water), and are also resistant to any counter-curses but the specific Fiendfyre Counter (so Finite also does not work). The flames can be controlled by a skilled and concentrating caster, but distraction can cause him to lose control of them, after which they are nearly impossible to dominate again without stopping them entirely.

If cast beforehand, can also aid resistance to the Organ-Liquefying Curse, as internal organs are also strengthened. Over-frequent casting can cause muscle paroxysms and even paralysis, which makes it impractical as an everyday means of self-defense. Can aid resistance to pain, but has no effect against the Cruciatus Curse. Lasts a few hours, though being struck with multiple curses can cause it to weaken faster. Controlled (widely known, but in order to keep constant cases of muscle damage out of St. Mungo’s, its use is discouraged by the Ministry). Advanced.

This charm has the unfortunate side-effect of making the breath of anyone nearby turn into thick white mist due to the extreme frigidity caused by the spell's casting. An object can be enchanted with this spell to attack a person when touched. Taught in third year charms and defence against the dark arts at Hogwarts.
Sopor Excessum Lethargus Quies	Frozen Life Charm	Sopor Excessum Lethargus Quies	Charms	Healing	Causes collapse, reduction in body temperature, slowed breathing and progress of bodily fluids.

Densissima Cor	Heart Stopping Curse	Densissima Cor	Charms	Curses	This spell instantly thickens and slows the muscles of the heart to cause severe chest pain and difficulty breathing. As the heart is directly targeted, abnormal heart rhythms and the strain of beating can make this fatal in most cases. To muggle doctors, it would appear to be like the condition hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, which is unexplained thickening of heart muscle that causes sudden death in otherwise healthy appearing individuals who have experienced few or no symptoms before it becomes fatal. A healer would be able to see the thickening is noticeably different than a muggle doctor's interpretation.

Prohibition Jinx	Prohibition Jinx	Prohibeo, Ego Absit	Charms	Jinxes	The use of the Prohibition Jinx is to bind someone to a list of restricted words they cannot utter. To use it, the binder must define the parameters of the jinx. First the binder must touch the person(s) to be bound using a wand. Then the initial prohibeo incantation, followed by the list of words to be restricted uttered in a clear, loud voice (and enunciated properly - it is possible to act on a loophole if the words are said with too strong of an accent), then followed again by a second prohibeo. The jinx does not activate until the binder then utters the words ego absit. Once that is done, the person(s) bound has no way of countering the jinx. Breaking the jinx requires saying the words that are considered taboo, or the death of the binder, or the binder lifting the jinx. Uttering any of the words on the restricted list will inform the binder that the jinx has been broken. This jinx can bind more than one person and usually it is recommended to have the list of restricted words agreed on by the people bound to it. However there is precedent for using it on a one-sided basis, which is more frowned upon since it acts without consent of the person being bound. Countering this jinx entails stopping the person from uttering the prohibeo incantations, touching the person(s) to be bound using their wand, or leaving the vicinity the binder is in. Once the parameters of the spell have been set, the jinx can only be activated if the binder can see the person(s) bound. It cannot be activated remotely.

Carpe Retractum	Seize and Pull Charm	Carpe Retractum	Charms	Defensive	The seize and pull charm, also known as the Carpe Retractum Spell (Carpe Retractum), is a charm that produced a magical, retractable cord of light, that can be used to pull objects towards the caster, or, if the target was fixed in place, to pull the caster towards the target. In order to successfully connect the charm, the target must be in direct line of sight of the caster, as well as being relatively nearby. Once connected, the caster can pull on the rope with their wand, quickly retracting it. Objects that are not fixed in place will be pulled towards the caster. If the target is immovable, then the retracting rope would swiftly drag the caster towards the object. Being pulled in this manner enabled the caster to traverse through the air or over large gaps. While the charm was generally used on inanimate objects, it can also be used on living things such as Bubotubers and Erklings. Although the charm is easy enough to cast, it takes a fair amount of force to pull heavy objects or to hold on to the wand while being dragged through the air. This could be negated to a certain degree if caster leaned backwards while pulling heavier targets by allowing their body weight to carry a portion of the target's weight. Taught in third year Charms and Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.
Turpiscarpo	Seizing Curse	Turpiscarpo		Hexes	The spell, when successfully cast and not blocked, will seize all parts of a person painfully and cause them to curl into the fetal position, dropping to the ground as all of their muscles and internal organs are constricted.

The Glisseo charm was used by the Hogwarts founders circa 993, when they enchanted the stairs of the girls' dormitories to turn into slides should any boy attempt to enter, but not vice versa, as they believed girls to be more trustworthy than boys

It is invisible, but it creates what could be described as the same feeling that a tight, plastic sealing might feel over one's nose and mouth. The victim cannot remove the sort of seal. Most end up scratching their faces around their mouths and nose. This is one of the indicators that it could be the spell that was used, if the victim dies.

Depending on the particular flare and intention of the caster, this can cause instantaneous death or be quite prolonged, inducing seizures and other symptoms like slurred speech, headaches, lethargy, and nausea/vomiting. The spell is almost always lethal, unless the counter-curse can be used in time ("Coagulum Cerebrum"). This spell is particularly useful when victims are muggle or left in muggle areas. It appears to be spontaneous and can come with a number of other health conditions that could be had. Healers who are trained in spell damage will be able to find the pinpoint burn that will appear where the spell connects with its victim.
Persecto	The Carving Charm	Persecto	Charms		The spell causes an object or wand end to cut through a surface.
Coagulum	The Clotting Spell	Coagulum	Charms	Counter-Spells • Healing	Most basic version of the spell is used for small flesh wounds. If the wound is internal, the specific organ must be mentioned. An example is "Coagulum Cerebrum," the counter curse to the Brain Bleed Curse.
The Dancing Hex	The Dancing Hex			Hexes	A Jamaican prank spell used commonly on muggles to cause them to sporadically dance or just for parties and special events. It begins by adults casting the spell on themselves or children who go onto pass it to others. When mastered it causes much more violent and uncontrolled body movements.

Carnem Dehisco	The flesh splitting curse	Carnem Dehisco (It is used exclusively nonverbally)	Charms	Curses	It can be used from a distance to slash skin open, or it can be used up close-- for close carving or more intricate slashing as a form of torture. The sensation it leaves is a mixture of burning and stinging. The wounds it leaves are slow to heal and resistant to dittany, though some dittany is better than none. It almost always leaves scars, and is used to create cursed scars as well. It was commonly used on muggleborns during the second world war to write "mudblood" to leave a lasting scar. It has also been used to torture information out of victims in interrogations. The more precise it is, the more advanced the user is. It is an incredibly difficult spell to use precisely. Often times, it is easier to do haphazard slashes from a distance than it is to take it slow.
Karath kol	the Karathic Curse	Karath 'akal kol huw' dam	Charms	Curses	The Karathic ("to cut" or "to make a covenant") Ritual was developed in ancient times as a method of ritual sacrifice. Blood from a sacrificed animal was considered a purifying agent in many ancient cultures, but sacrifice itself could be messy. Mages were left with the problem of how to extract as much blood as possible from a sacrificial victim so that they could use it in later spells and ceremonies. When completed to full, this ritual purifies an animal for sacrifice and then drains all of its blood so that it can be collected in a basin and put to later use. The animal's throat can then be slit by the mage performing the ritual without losing any of the precious blood. The Karathic Ritual itself is not considered dark magic, but it has been put to dark uses in the past. After its development in Israel, knowledge of it spread around the ancient Mediterranean, and some groups in Carthage, Kush, and Greece did use it to ease the practice of human sacrifice. As recently as the 1980s, a notorious illegal cult in Turkey used it as an exsanguination spell to murder human victims, draining them of blood and then leaving them for the wizarding authorities to find, who first mistook them for the victims of vampires. Though the Karathic Ritual is not commonly taught at Beit Gaddol, mention of it often comes up in classes that study the interrelationships between magic and religion. Upper-level students might practice performing it on a small scale (birds and the like). Necessary Spell Components: - Olive oil and perfumes - Ribbon - Barley - Purified water - Three hairs plucked from the victim's forehead - Sacrificial knife (commonly a machaira) - Ritual container The Ritual: In the archesthai (first part of preparation for the ritual), the ritual performer prepares himself for the sacrifice by smearing his body with olive oil and ritual perfumes. He recites a prayer as he adds the ribbon (to represent the glory of the gods) and the barley (to represent the community's participation in the sacrifice) to the ritual container. The barley and ribbon are set on fire, and then the three hairs are added as well. The holy water is poured over the entire mix to put out the fire and purify the energy for the sacrifice. Once the fire is out, the machaira is stabbed into the mixture, and the katarchesthai spell is chanted. This enthuses the machaira with the power of the ritual, which can be released with a spoken spell at a later date. The archesthai prayer varies depending on the culture of the mage. Isaiah 57 is often used amongst graduates of Beit Gaddol. The Spell: To activate the power of the ritual, the mage takes a ritual container (where the blood will end up) in his right hand and the machaira in his left. He points the machaira at the victim of the ritual and chants "Karath 'akal kol huw' dam." The victim is drained of blood, which is instantly collected inside the container. (Since the containers are traditionally too small to hold all of the blood, it will fill to its brim and then continue to refill until the blood has been completely used.) If there is no ritual container to hold the liquid, the blood will simply explode into the air and the victim will be left exsanguinated. The spell "karath kol," while not possessing the full power of the ritual, can accomplish a similar (though less refined) result. Deep gouges will appear all over the body, causing the victim to bleed out at an alarming rate. Normal magical healing practices to staunch the flow of blood often have no effect. For ritual purposes, "karath kol" is useless. Part of the appeal of the Karathic Ritual is that it does not mar the body of the victim, allowing the mage to extract the blood without losing a drop. The secondary "karath kol" spell is so unrefined that much blood is lost in the attempted collection. However, it is sometimes used as a defense against dark creatures (such as werewolves, who are resistant to many magics), though many magical governments forbid its use against any human or human-like being. Neither the Karathic Ritual or the "karath kol" spell are commonly known in Great Britain.

Time Slowing Spell	Time Slowing Spell	Chronargio	Charms	Counter-Spells	This spell creates an area of affect where time is slowed down to a crawl. No spells are truly instantaneous so it has the effect of stopping any spell in its tracks. For example, it can delay an explosion, slow an active transfiguration, or make sluggish an enchantment protecting a doorway. The spell lasts as long as the castor is focused on the spell. How intensely time is slowed depends on the skill and will of the caster. Multiple instances of the spell can be cast upon the same area and the effect is multiplicative. It takes several seconds to cast the spell making it not ideal for a dueling defense. It cannot literally stop time, merely slow it down. The events that were going to occur will come to pass. If the events inside the area of affect would cause objects or spells inside to move past their boundaries, they will break the perimeter and return to normal time. When the spell is lifted, the events that were slowed come rushing back to present. There are many cases where attempting to affect the events inside the area of effect that could lead to disastrous results so must be done with caution. It is not safe for use on living creatures and is illegal. For this reason it is not suitable for healing.
Evanesco Differedeo	Time-Skip Spell	Evanesco Differedeo	Transfiguration	Enchantments	The target object vanishes but is set to reappear from where it left after a delay of time, essentially sending it into the future. When the target object “returns” there is a blink-miss-it flash of pale blue light. The time delay is built in increments of five minutes and the total time gone must have five as a factor. The longer the time delay, the harder the spell is to cast, so the caster must concentrate on the amount of time the target is gone. Inexperienced casters may vanish the object permanently. The complexity of the object itself can also add issues. Objects with powerful magical powers (e.g. Time-Turners, the Sorting Hat, the Deathly Hollows, etc.) are unaffected by this spell. Common, non-magical creatures can be also sent to the future with this spell. However, magical creatures resist and may reappear after a few seconds to a minute or not disappear at all.

This feature also allows one to prevent the victim from speaking the incantations of spells correctly, and hence like the Silencing Charm it is useful in duelling (though can be overcome with more advanced magic). It is covered in the book Curses and Counter-Curses, authored by Professor Vindictus Viridian. Taught between the second and fifth year in Defence Against the Dark Arts at Hogwarts.

Unbreakable Vow	Unbreakable Vow				Causes a vow taken by a witch or wizard to be inviolable; if he or she should break it, the consequence is death. It manifests itself as interlinking chains of fire binding the clasped hands of the people taking the Vow; the fire shoots out as a tongue of flame from the wand of the Binder (a witness to the Vow) every time the person who takes the vow makes a promise. The flames then form into the linking chains. According to Ron Weasley, the spell causes death to anyone who breaks the vow.

Harmonia Nectere Passus	Vanishing Cabinet Charm	Harmonia Nectere Passus	Charms	Enchantments	Harmonia Nectere Passus is the incantation of a charm used to repair a broken Vanishing Cabinet and perfect its performance.

Alarte Ascendare	Vaulting Charm	Alarte Ascendare	Charms	Defensive	Used to launch an object up into the air. Can be used to fling an opponent into the air.
Ventriliquo	Ventriliquism Charm	Ventriliquo	Charms		The caster aims at a target they wish their voice to come from, which is briefly circled by sparks. The caster then holds the tip of the wand to their throat, like Sonorus and whatever they say will instead emanate from the point marked by the spell. Ventriliquo can be maintained with concentration while other spells are cast in the duration. Changing targets for where they "throw their voice" requires the spell to be cast again.
Ventus Maxima	Ventus Maxima	Ventus Maxima	Charms	Enchantments	Produces a blast of moving air from the tip of the wand, of comparable strength to a localised gale force wind. Its power may be amplified slight by repeating the spell in ten-to-fifteen second intervals. Based on Windy Spell
Verdimilious	Verdimilous Charm	Verdimilious	Charms		Produces green energy from the wand by means of sparks. These sparks can be used to reveal objects hidden by the Dark Arts, or can be used in a duel. The Verdimillious Charm can have several effects depending on its use: If one quickly casts the charm whilst aiming for a specific target, it will cause green sparks and/or green electrical discharge to explode and crackle all around the victim, hurting them slightly. If one waves his or her wand in a circular motion overhead whilst slowly saying the incantation, aiming for nothing but thin air, an orb of glowing green energy will be thrown from the wand tip, exploding several feet away in a blinding flash of emerald light and illuminating the entire room for a short period of time. So long as the emerald light from the spell lasts, objects such as platforms or doors that have been hidden by Dark magic will be revealed, so that they are temporarily visible and tangible again, until the spell's effects end.
Verdimilious Duo	Verdimilous Duo Charm	Verdimilious Duo	Charms		Holds a number of useful purposes, and is rather easy to cast. Has two forms with very different effects, the spell's dual forms are marked by varying colours. If one quickly casts the charm while aiming for a specific target, green sparks and electrical discharge will explode from the wand and crackle all around the victim, hence proving very useful in duelling. When used a number of times by more than one witch or wizard on a werewolf, the beast will be temporarily subdued. If one draws out the casting, saying the incantation slowly and waving the wand in a circle overhead, aiming for thin air above the caster, an orb of red light will be thrown skywards from the tip of the wand like a flare. Once it reaches a certain point it will explode several feet away in a blinding flash of white light, thereby illuminating the entire room for a short time. While the light of the charm fills the room, objects hidden by Dark magic will be revealed, although unlike its precursor, objects hidden by Verdimillious Duo remain tangible and visible even after the light fades. Nonetheless, green sparks will still be floating around the enchanted objects for a while after the light disappears.
Verdimilious Tria	Verdimilous Tria Charm	Verdimilious Tria	Charms		Can be used in dueling to harm an opponent; if used numerous times on a werewolf the beast will be subdued. It is stronger than either Verdmilious and Verdmilious Duo and the green discharge will go a further distance than its precursors.
Vermiculus	Vermiculus Jinx	Vermiculus	Transfiguration	Jinxes	Vermiculus is the incantation of a transforming jinx used to transfigure things into worms.

Wall Building Spell	Wall Building Spell	Sepulcrus Totalis	Charms	Defensive	At the will of the caster, bricks or other building stones from a source location animate and come together to form a new structure, usually a wall or series of walls. Certainly, the caster could conjure multiple walls that form a more complex structure. The structure is held together magically - no physical mortaring required. Additional magic would be needed to reinforce the wall against dismantling or blasting spells. Very skilled wix can conjure bricks from nothing simultaneously. Otherwise a nearby source of building materials is required.
Munium Muri Ilii	Wall Fortifying Charm	Munium Muri Ilii	Charms	Defensive • Enchantments	A substantially more difficult and powerful version of the spell Munio. Protects permanent structures against substantial magical or physical bombardment, and is thus usually cast on exterior building walls.

Aqua Eructo	Waterspout Charm	Aqua Eructo	Charms	Enchantments	Aqua Eructo was the incantation of a charm that could be used to create a spout of water from the tip of the wand.

Vulnera Sanentur	Wound Healing Charm	Vulnera Sanentur	Counter-Spells	Counter-Spells • Healing	Vulnera Sanentur is the song-like incantation of a healing spell which is used to heal deep wounds, and which can also be used as the counter-curse for the curse Sectumsempra. For maximum effect of the spell, the incantation had to be repeated thrice; firstly slowing the flow of blood to prevent death by exsanguination; the second to clear residue and begin to heal the wounds; and the third to fully knit the wounds, although dittany had to be applied to prevent scarring. Body parts that had been completely removed with Sectumsempra could not be restored even using this spell.
