Knockback-Jinx
__F L I P E N D O
Commonly known as the knockback-jinx, this spell is quite versatile in the hands of a creative witch or wizard.
Effects/Limits
This jinx can physically repel an opponent, push back objects, blast through fragile objects and trigger magical;y charmed switches. To charge up the spell, the caster must hold their power in their wand and release their magic when the blue spell turns a strange purplish-red colour. Past this point, the spell will backfire in mid-cast, or fly back to the caster, mildly damaging them. The Knockback Jinx feels like a blow to the chest, knocking its victim back, along with "a loud bang. The jinx can also be rebounded to its caster by means of a Shield Charm, as many other spells can, or be simply dodged.
History
Despite being found in both this textbook as well as The Dark Forces: A Guide To Self Protection, the creator and origin of this spell remains largely unknown to this day. Evidence of this spell has cropped up often throughout the centuries varying in both incantation and wandwork, however, the effect largely remains the same. It can be assumed that the spell had been passed on largely through word of mouth and has therefore lost any record of its true history.
Etymology
"flip" - turn over + pseudo-Latin ending
Pronunciation
fli-PEN-doh
Wand Movements
V with a one small zigzag at the end
