Corrumpo
Chapter 8
Corrumpo
To begin, this chapter will detail the effects, etymology, and wandwork of the alchemical spell, Corrumpo. The word is derived from the latin name corrumpo meaning to break up, destroy, annihilate, or to spoil, or weaken. It is pronounced corr-um-PEE-oh.
This spell, when cast correctly, can cause any iron or iron based object to rust upon the caster's will. This charm, however, does not impact any effect upon goblin made steel or craft. Hundreds of years ago, this spell was used in the process of metalwork, crafting and honing precious minerals, ores, and gems.
The wand movement required to perform properly begins with a swift wrist, form a zigzag line with the tip of the wand and then thrust it towards the object desired. The caster must be within visible sight of the target for the spell to take its desired effects. But caution must be taken, if the wand motions are too imbalanced, uneven, or strict, the target will diminish entirely into powder. (Though this is usually the desired effect in alchemical experiment.) The spell can only be reversed by it's counter charm, Inveratus.
