Similar to other branches of magic which have a universal counter-spell; Cursebreaking is no different. Aveho Defixio, is a general counter-curse which can reverse the effects of a wide variety of curses and hexes much like how finite can cancel the effects of various charms and jinxes. There are, of course, certain stipulations when it comes to casting and breaking a curse. Any object can be cursed, but not every curse will effect every object. Emotion is key. A substantial amount of power, will, and determination is required, meaning not every witch or wizard can truly be capable of becoming a Curse-Breaker. During the process of breaking a curse a possibility arises where the caster may feel, or for lack of a better word, become possessed, by the driving emotions used in the creation of the curse. Because of this, it is extremely vital that a Curse-Breaker has maximum control of their own emotions to not allow the anguish, or grief, or fear, or rage, break their focus. Extreme discipline is required.
Aveho, meaning "to remove". While Defixio means "curse". Both words are of Latin origin.
To cast the spell, point the wand at the target and recite the spell.
The spell removes only one curse at a time, and there is no color or sound emitting from either wand or the object. Critical thinking, creativity, and caution should be exercised to ensure the spell had been cast successfully. Like first tossing a pebble through a cursed barrier instead of walking through it, for example. With experience, trained Curse-Breakers will be able to detect the change in the aura and atmosphere of the magical object (or the lack of,) alerting them if the curse had been properly broken or not.
