  • Incantation: Lumos Solem (LOO-mos so-LEM)

  • Wand Movement: Single counter-clockwise  loop ending with the wand pointed toward the target

  • Willpower: Low to very high; determines color and intensity of light

  • Concentration: High; The target of the light

  • Amount of willpower put into the spell determines how powerful the effect is

  • Requires concentration to precisely target the beam and keep the spell from simply flickering out just after being cast

  • Depending on willpower, beam intensity will range from faint white light to brilliant light golden yellow light

  • Does not turn scarlet if over charged

  • Never point wand directly towards own face or anyone elses

  • Great for concentration practice

  • Light will quickly fade out if not properly concentrating

  • Only last 5-6 seconds


The Dancing Lights Charm

  • Wand Movement: Single counter-clockwise loop, then several rapid counter-clockwise loops
