Wand Movements and Incantations
Chapter 13
The premise of Transfiguration, Wands Movements dictate whether or not a spell will be successful in Transfiguration. One of the most vital things, Wand Movements are dictated to students from day one and are a requirement for passage to the next year, across all year levels. Owing to their close affiliation in linking magic, the wand and the mind, it is essential for all students to understand the differing wand movements and how they must flow in their movement.
Examples of common wand movements:
As each wand movement is unique, these ones are specific to the spell they are aligned with,
Avifors: Swirl above object, followed by a sharp tap
Draconifors: Long, upwards sweep from the knees
Lapifors: Three light, but quick hopping flicks outwards from waist to object
Snufflifors:Sharp, whiplike crack of the wand above the head
Fera Verto: Three taps upon the object
Solidify: Triangulated wand flicks
Piscifors: Linked, bubble loops in a triangular shape followed by outwards push
Ebublio: Extended figure 8 downwards in air
Pullus: Using spare hand, pull wand backwards and behind the spare hand before pushing out
Fiante Duri: Large, circular loop in air, followed by outwards push
Glisseo: Downwards flick at the ground.
