Deflection Spell
Magis Clausus
___ M A G I S . C L A U S U S
_______ "Mah-JIS . Clow-sus"
Created in the late nineteenth century by the inventive Sainsbury brothers', a pair of Curse-Breakers who had discovered the secret to an otherwise impenetrable catacomb and invented the Deflection Spell. When timed perfectly, this spell creates a shield of magic with deflects curses, hexes, and jinxes and can reflect them back to the opponent with twice as much damage. The catacomb in which it was founded had been defended by a legion of cursed statues; each one was bewitched to send an assault of spells ranging from blasting to impaling curses. No manner of spells seemed to break the curse on the statues if one of the Curse-Breakers were lucky enough to even try. After months of failed attempts, the two brothers' attempted to redirect the statues spells backwards which consequently obliterated the sculptures. Discovered within was one of the largest caches of gold that had ever been found and transported to Gringotts.
Magis, in Latin, means "more" and "to a greater extent". Claudo, a deviation of Clausus, is also of Latin origin and means "to confine", "blockade", and "besiege".
Prepare with your wand at the ready, recite the incantation then begin with a jab forward toward the oncoming spell to deflect it. No light is caused from the spell itself, however the clash from when a spell has bounced away may cause sparks or flares of color.
In order to redirect the oncoming spell back to your opponent, be sure to jab the end of your wand in the direction of your opponent. Precise aim requires vigorous practice and keen precision; sharp and rigid motions should be exercised when redirecting spells. As always, there are exceptions. Curses so deeply ingrained in the Dark Arts, such as the Unforgivable Curses. Unfortunately, it's hard to determine how many more curses are impervious to the Deflection Spell, due to the high risks of fatality.
