Darkfire Counter Curse
Aduro Occuro
___ A D U R O . O C C U R O
_______ "Ah-DURO . Oc-cur-OH"
Known as the Darkfire Counter Curse, this spell has the capability of countering and nullifying the effects of enchanted fire infused with dark magic. Such as the Flagrante Curse, Fire Whip Curse, and Fire Snake Hex. Curse-Breakers will often encounter a variety of curses and hexes when exploring, it is essential to master the Darkfire Counter Curse, it could mean the difference between life and death when trapped hundreds of meters deep in the catacombs with only a few men and a small stock of supplies at the ready. Unfortunately like with most Dark Magic, any severed limb cannot be regrown and scarring is unavoidable, even from just a minor abrasion. So great caution should be exercised when faced against this Dark Magic.
Tied in Latin etymology, Adustum is a variation meaning "to set fire". Occurro, meanwhile, means "to work against", "counteract".
With wand at the ready, recite the incantation while directing your wand in a quick side slash then forward strike, that is, a parry and riposte while keeping the wand point in-line with the opponent's body. It's styled after the basic defense/offense technique used in fencing.
Utmost concentration is required to successfully cast the spell and when cast correctly, a blue jet of magic will emit from the wand and clash against the target in white and blue sparks magically dousing the flames. However, this counter curse is only effective against certain forms of dark magic, others, like Fiendfyre and Firestorm, cannot be countered.
