Ye'hiy Or

Spell Name: Warding Charm

Incantation: Ye'hiy Or

Pronunciation: YEH-ee'or

Spell Branch: Charms

Magical Discipline(s):

Appearance: Used with a candle (usually black). The candle will ignite. A steady flame indicates a strong ward, a flickering flame a weak or weakening ward. Wandless magic.

Description: A shielding spell that maintains a semipermanent magical shield around the caster, similar to Protego, although it absorbs (instead of reflecting) most curses. The advantage is that, being wandless, it allows a well-trained caster to use his wand simultaneously to cast other spells. The caster can feel the strength of the ward.

Regulations: Legal

Skill Level: Advanced to Master

Etymology: Hebrew “let there be light”
