Engorgement Charm
__E N G O R G I O.
Engorgio, the Engorgement Charm, is the opposite to the Shrinking Charm, Reducio.
Effects/Limits
The Engorgement Charm is a charm that causes the target to swell immensely. If the caster attempts to engorge the target beyond a certain point it will violently explode. Although this spell is safe to use on animals, it is not recommended until the counter-charm has been perfected. It appears as a circle of icy blue light emanating from the tip of the wand, much like a torch. Anything within this circle will grow exponentially, bouncing and shivering.
History
No one is certain who invented the Engorgement or Shrinking charms but they were made famous by two siblings, Jonas and Elizabeth Crossing. Elizabeth was said to be dutiful and neat while her brother Jonas was spirited and willful; then one day after a particularly nasty howler from his sister, the brother then decided to subtly adjust the size of everything in her home. The poor woman went man before the brother decided to come clean and was then tried and sentenced by the Wizengamot for several years in Azkaban.
Etymology
The word "engorge" means "to fill to excess".
