Wand-Extinguishing Charm - Nox
This spell causes the light at the end of the caster’s wand to be extinguished. The counter-charm for theWand-Lighting Charm - Lumos -. Both were invented the Wand-lighting Charm, Levina Monkstanley in 18th century.
Wand-Lighting Charm - Lumos
is a charm, a light-creation spell, used to illuminate the tip of the caster’s wand; this light is fairly warm. The counter-charm for the spell is Nox, which is used to extinguish the light from the casters wand. This charm is simple, but requires concentration. Take care not to accidentally set your wand alight as damage of this kind can be permanent. If one charges the spell properly, it will appear lemon-yellow; if one over-charges it, the charm will appear as a vibrant scarlet. To illuminate the end of a wand, the caster must call out the incantation “Lumos.” If correctly incanted, the end of the wand will then illuminate and cast light in the immediate vicinity of the caster. It can also be used to illuminate unseen entrances. One of the simplest and most useful spells, it not only illuminates the wand tip, but can repel spectral foes such as Gytrashes and malevolent spirits. Despite its apparent simplicity, the Wand-Lighting Charm was not invented until the18th century. It was first used publicly by Levina Monkstanley, its inventor, in the Ministry of Magic in 1772 to the astonishment of her colleagues to help her look for a fallen quill on a dusty corner. However, Garvin Lgner, a German wizard, claimed to have been the one who invented the spell, while he was developing his Instant Darkness Powder. It later transpired that Lgner had been lying about the invention of the charm, and that his Instant Darkness Powder did not do too much more than slightly dim the lights.
The Lumos Duo Charm - Lumos Duo -
is a modern variation of the Wand-Lighting Charm. It creates an intense beam of wand light connecting the caster’s wand and their target, which can be used for a variety of purposes. For instance, the spell’s light forces ghouls to retreat and hinkypunks to solidify, and therefore can be used as a defensive measure. Also, the charm is excellent for charging crystal balls with light.
The Stinging Jinx - Aculious -
is a dark charm that can be used to sting the victim’s flesh, producing a red brand like a scorch mark and causing swelling. The affected flesh feels tight, swollen and puffy as though the victim has suffered an allergic reaction, and if used on the face the eyes are reduced to narrow slits.
