===''[[Facsimilius Pollax]]'' (Copy Spell)===
:'''Pronunciation:''' fak-sih-MIH-lee-us PAHL-ax
:'''Appearance:''' The wizard appears to rip the document in half
:'''Description:''' Wandless magic.  When performed properly, will result in each half of the document spawning the part that was ripped away, resulting in two identical copies.  Done improperly, it will simply tear the document in half (though the wizard could theoretically mend it with ''Reparo'' and keep trying indefinitely).
:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Legal (unless the document is not allowed to be copied).  Advanced.
:'''Etymology:''' Possibly from the English “facsimile”, the full word usually abbreviated “fax”, and Pollux, the twin of Castor in Greek mythology
 
<blockquote style="background-color: #263034; padding: 10px;">As soon as Devlin handed over the notebook paper contract, Theodora took it in both hands and made like she was going to rip it in two! But instead of ripping it down the middle, she was left at the end of the gesture with two identical copies. One in one hand and one in the other.  Perfect clones.
<p>''[[Theodora Kingstreet]] in [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=258.msg2396#msg2396 Please...Teach Me!]''</p></blockquote>
 
===''Manicarcerous'' (Chaining Spell)===
:'''Pronunciation:''' MAHN-ih-CAR-ser-uss
:'''Appearance:''' Flick of the wand at the target, which causes the chains to appear.
:'''Description:''' Binds the subject with iron chains, which wrap around the body and lock on wrists and ankles.  Instantaneous.
:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Legal.  Advanced.
:'''Etymology:''' From the word “manacle” and the spell ''Incarcerous''
:'''Notes:''' A more powerful form of Incarcerous.
 
===''Evanesco Differedeo (Time-Skip Spell)''===
:'''Pronunciation:''' ev-an-ES-koh dif-er-RE-day-oh
:'''Appearance:''' Invisible, but faint blue light accompanies the target on its return. The wand motions end with a spiraling circle movement.
:'''Description:''' 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.
:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Advanced. Controlled: Its use is kept with the Dept. of Mysteries and the Time Travel Investigation and Regulation Bureau
:'''Etymology:''' Comes from "evanescence", something that is fleeting or disappears, and the Latin evanesco, "disappear". “Differedeo” is a portmantu of differo, “delay”, and redeo, “come back”.
:'''Canon Reference:''' A continuation of the [http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Vanishing_Spell Vanishing Spell]
:'''Notes:''' Once complete, the spell cannot be undone nor the target returned before the allotted time as it exists in “nothingness.” Therefore the only way to stop the spell would be to prevent its casting.
