Banishing Charm
__D E P U L S O.
The Banishing Charm, while it should not be considered the counter to the Summoning Charm, it is, however, the opposite.
Effects/Limits
The Banishing Charm is the counter-charm to the Summoning Charm. As Accio summons objects to the caster, Depulso sends both objects and living things away from the caster. Unlike the Summoning Charm, which can summon specific objects from anywhere, the Banishing Charm banishes whatever the wand is aimed at. The light from this spell can be either red or white.
History
Believed to have been created during the same period as the Summoning Charm, it's origins have been lost to history.
Etymology
From the Latin “depulsio”, meaning “driving/pushing away”.
Pronunciation
de-PUHL-so
Wand Movements
Sweep of the wand.
