Severing Charm
__D I F F I N D O
Particularly known as the Severing Charm, this spell is useful in both Herbology and Potions.
Effects/Limits
The Severing Charm is a charm used to precisely and accurately cut something, and if used inappropriately can cause death or injury. The light cast from this spell can either be a light green or hot pink.
History
This spell was invented in the fifteenth century by wizarding seamstress Delfina Crimp. She made the spell because prior to her discovery, cutting spells were apt to burn or shred things. However, a fellow seamster nearly killed her after he raided her shop, having realised that she could do magic, and held her tied up. Nonetheless, upon being released to scratch a wart on her chin the wart brought her wand forth and she disapparated with a sack of gold.
Etymology
The incantation is the Latin first person active indicative for "to split, cleave or open".
