Chapter Two



General Counter Spell




__F I N I T E. I N C A N T A T E M



The General Counter Spell is perhaps the most useful spell a witch or wizard will ever need to learn.


Effects/Limits
The General Counter-Spell is, as its name indicates, a counter-spell for general use. It may be used in duels or on an entire home, as a precaution before a wizard answers the door. The General Counter-Spell terminates all spell effects ranging from simple spells like the Jelly-Legs Jinx to more complicated spells such as Atmospheric Charms. It's unknown if there is a difference between Finite and Finite Incantatem, in terms of power or usage, it's possible that Finite is simply a more straight forward way of casting the General Counter-Spell.

History
It's currently unknown by who or when the counter-spell was invented.

Etymology
From Latin finire, meaning "end", and incantationem, meaning "enchantment".

Pronunciation
Finite
fi-NEE-tay

Finite Incantatem
fi-NEE-tay in-can-TAH-tem
