Appearance:

Description: 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.

Regulations: Legal

Etymology: Vulnera Sanentur derives from the Latin vulnus "wound", (in which the roots of the English "vulnerable" may be seen) and sanare, "to heal"; it is translated "may the wounds be healed".
