Forbidden Dark Arts
Personal notes to keep track of what I research, that I decided to share with others who also might be interested in this form of magic since it's censored in alot of books and sources. Mostly Dark Magic, but also whatever I need to take notes on that is non-dark magic. Disclaimer: Some of the potion recpies or incantations are not canon, since in canon they're unknown. So I made them up myself, a.k.a. they're my headcanons, but I'd like it if you used them too. Sources: Harry Potter Wiki, Wizarding World, Lessons in HiH, and random information pieces from social media.

Dark Charms - Hexes
Chapter 5
Hexes
Hexes are moderate dark magic, causing major inconveniance to the target. Some hexes are used by non-dark wizards too, as the Bat-Bogey hex, used atleast two times by Ginny Weasly for good.
Bat-Bogey Hex
This hex transformed the targets bogeys into bats flying out of their nose.
The canon incantation is unknown, but this is my headcanon:
Incantation: 'Vespexis' (VEH-spe-ksis). The incantation is these three Latin words merged together; 'Vespertilio', which means 'bat', 'Ex' that means 'out of' or 'exit', and 'Naris' which means 'nose'.
Wand movement:
Knee-reversal Hex
The hex reverses the position of the knees - from the front, to the back.
The canon incantation and hand movement are unknown, but this is my headcanon:
Incantation: 'Mutagenus' (mut-ah-GEE-nus). Originating from the Latin words 'Mutare' which means 'change', and 'Genu' which means 'knee'.
Hand movement: Point your wand at their knees/legs and draw a small circle with your wand.
Toenail-growing Hex
This hex makes the targets toenails grow at an alarmingly fast rate. This is one of the hexes that we're tried by Harry Potter, once again proving that also non-dark wizards can use Dark Magic. The hex was invented by Severus Snape.
The canon incantation and hand movement are unknown, but this is my headcanon:
Incantation: 'Accretio Clavus' (AKK-reth-ee-oh KLA-vus). 'Accretio' means 'growth' in Latin, and 'Clavus' means 'claw' or 'nail'.
Hand movement: Point at the targets feet.
Stickfast Hex
The hex make the victims feet to stick to the ground, causing them to trip if they attempt to move.
Incantation: Colloshoo (CAWL-low-shoo)
Hand movement:
It creates yellow light.
Tickling Hex
As the name states, the spell creates hands out of purple light that tickle the victim, weakening them.
Incantation: Titillando (ti-tee-LAN-do)
Hand movement:
Bedazzling Hex
This hex turned objects invicible. The effect wears off after some time.
The incantation and hand movement are canonically unknown, but these are my headcanons;
Incantation: Abdere (ab-DEER). It means 'hide' in Latin.
Hand movement: Flick of wand.
Confusion Hex
Confuses the victims, weakening them mentally.
Canon incantation and hand movement unknown. My headcanons;
Incantation: Conturbo (con-TUR-boh). Latin for 'to confuse' or 'to disturbe'.
Hand movement: WIP
Densaugeo
This hex makes the victims front teeth grow at an alarming rate.
Incantation: Densaugeo (den-SAU-jee-oh).
Hand movement:
It creates violet light.
Deterioration Hex

Incantation: Unknown. My headcanon; Excutite (ex-cute-EET). Means 'shake off' in Latin.
Hand movement: Point wand.
It creates no light.
Illegal Growth Hex
Enlarges the victims head. It's effects are hard to reverse back to normal, since one of it's victims head took several months before returning to normal.

Incantation: Engorgio Skullus.
Hand movement: My headcanon; WIP
