The Unlocking Charm

Type:
Charm

Incantation:
Alohomora

Pronunciation:
Al-loh-ha-mor-ah

Wand Movement:
Backward S curving up at the end

Willpower:
None for simple locks, minimal to very high for complicated locks

Concentration:
Visualization of yourself unlocking the lock

The caster must focus upon the lock to be undon, wheter it is just a physical lock or a magical lock. It is important to begin the wand movement as you begin saying the spell and end it as you finish saying the spell.

Depending upon the particular spell used to create the lock, the Unlocking Charm may be ineffective.
