• Can be used as a distraction


• Will not cause any lasting damage.

- Hex

• Second level of Dark spells


• A bit darker than the jinx


• Will do more lasting damage than jinxes


• Have effects that cause more damage to the target and are viewed as major inconveniences that cause a moderate amount of suffering.


• Can be reversed by using a Hex Breaker.

- Curse

• Third and final level of Dark spells


• Darkest and most dangerous type of spell
