Chapter 6: Alarte Ascendare

Chapter 7

This is a very good spell to use for defense or to disarm someone. There is not much to talk about it but let's get into the history!


HISTORY: Professor Lockhart used the spell "non-verbally" in attempt to dispose the snake which Draco Malfloy conjured during the first Dueling club in 1992. However, his efforts proved to futile, as the spell merely caused the serpant to fly upwards, which only agravted it more. 


ETYMOLOGY:Alarte comes from the Latin adjective Alate 'winged', and ascendare is a Latin verb meaning 'to climb' or 'to ascend'. Therefore, the whole incantation may be translated roughly as "winged ascent".


Now for the wand movement and pronounciation!


PRONOUNCIATION:  Alarte Ascendare (a-LAR-tay a-SEN-der-ay)


WAND MOVMENT: there is no photo but i may describe how its done, you point your wand at the target and swish your wand up after saying the words and that thing shall fly high into the sky!
