I found my old list of made up Harry Potter spells. If I remember correctly the idea was to have these spells appear in my story (apparently I never got that far into writing the story) because I wanted to expand more on the wizarding world. Some of them would be commonly used or known by nearly everyone, while others would be recent inventions by muggleborns or half-bloods because they would be the ones most annoyed by how stagnant and old-fashion most of the magical folks are (or at least those in Britain).
I figured muggleborns or half-bloods would try to find or create an magical equivalent to some of the muggles’ advancements. For example, wizardry kind would have spells, potions and magical creams or pastes that would treat sunburns, but a muggleborn might be the one to invent a spell to prevent it in the first place. Simply because they would have the know-how from their muggle education about it.
Note: I don’t think I got all the spells type right, but after a while everything was starting to blurred together for me. Because in my old notes I never bothered with categorizing them into spell types. Anyway, if you want to add onto this list you can. You can even use these spells in your HP story if you really like them.
Charm Spells
Is spells that adds certain properties to an object or individual. Charms are distinguished from transfigurations in that a charm adds or changes properties of an object; it focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is.
Incantation: Solis Protego
Etymology: Solis is the Spanish name derived from the Latin sol, literally meaning “sun," and protego, means “to protect” or “to cover” → it basically means "protection from the sun".
Use: Causes an invisible layer to appear on the target body like a second skin, which will protect them from the sun’s harmful rays.
Note: It’s basically a spell version of a sunscreen; sunblock.
Incantation: Temporalis Servātus Creātūra
Etymology: From Latin tempus “time” → temporis “temporarily”. From Latin servo “maintain; preserve” and creō “I create, make” → creātūra “creation”.
Use: Causes any creation to be temporarily preserved in whatever current state it’s in.
Note: It’s mostly used by artists, such as painters, sculptures, calligraphers, etc. For example, a tattooist would use it because it allows their clients to test out tattoos before they become committed to it.
Incantation: Animātus Creātūra
Etymology: From Latin animus “the soul, thoughts, intellect, ideas, will, thoughts, courage, etc.; the breath, life”, closely related to anima “air, breath, spirit, life force” → animātus “animated, revived; alive”. From Latin creō “I create, make” to creātūra “a created thing; creature” and/or “creation”.
Use: Causes any piece of artwork; such as a drawing or a sculpture to be animated.
Note: Casters must visualize what they want to happen when it comes to the drawings or paintings. And if it’s a sculpture then they must imagined how they wish for the creation to be like when it comes ‘alive’
Incantation: Semper Adjustus Corporis
Etymology: From Latin semper “always”. from Latin ad “to, up to, towards” + iustus “correct, proper, exact”. From Latin corpus “body”.
Use: Causes items, specifically clothing to always fit the wearer’s body.
Incantation: Dūcere
Etymology: From Latin dūcō “lead, guide” → dūcere “to lead”.
Use: Caster places their wand flat on their open palm and says the incantation while visualizing the person, place or object that they need to locate. The wand will move like a compass and point in a direction for the caster to follow.
Note: This isn’t a very accurate locator spell, but it will give the caster a general direction of where to look. To be more specific the caster may say something like ‘Dūcere Ad [Person’s Name/Place or Object]’, which means ‘to lead to…’
Incantation: Quaerō Indiculum
Etymology: From Latin quaerō “I seek, look for” and indiculum “index, list, catalogue”.
Use: Summons a index, list, or catalogue to appear before the caster of all the contents of the room. This makes it easier when searching for something in particular.
Note: This will only work in libraries, file rooms or other archival collections.
Incantation: Sīscō [Insert What You Want To Know/Find]
Etymology: From Latin scīscō “seek to know; ask, inquire”, from sciō “know”.
Use: Once a caster is in possession of a index, list or catalogue this spell narrows down the contents to what they’re searching for within the database, book or filing cabinet.
Incantation: Scrībō Verbatim
Etymology: From Latin scrībō “I write”. Verbatim is derived from the Latin word verbum for "word.” Together it should mean “I write word for word”.
Use: Causes any writing instrument to write down the target’s exact speech.
Note: It’s basically a self-writing spell. It can be applied to any writing instrument such as fountain pens, pencils, typewriter, and so on. Caster must point at the target(s) or else it will write down every little word of whoever or whatever speaks.
Incantation: Loquora Animālis
Etymology: From Latin loquor “talk, speak” + a “to” and animālis “animals”.
Use: Caster is able to speak to animals.
Note: It’s a one-way communication spell. That means the caster can speak to any animal, but they won’t understand the animal when they speak back. This spell is mostly used to give animals a explanation, which can help to prevent misunderstandings and possibly initiate cooperation. Just be sure to establish a reliable 'yes' and 'no' with them.
Incantation: Detectus Manipulado
Etymology: From Latin detectus, perfect passive participle of detegere “to uncover or disclose”, from de- + tegere “to cover”. Latin manipulus “handful, sheaf, bundle,” from manus “hand” + root of plere “to fill”. Sense of “skillful handling of objects” → “handling or managing of persons”.
Use: Allows the caster to know if the target has any intention of manipulating them or if an object has been tempered with with such spells.
Note: The wand will glow or vibrate.
Incantation: Vox Mūtō
Etymology: From Latin vōx “voice” and mūtō “change, alter”.
Use: Causes the target’s voice to be alter by raising the tone or pitch of it or adds distortion. To do so the caster must raise or lower their wand to find the tone or the pitch they want. And to distort the voice they must move their wand sideways.
Note: This spell is most often used by singers and in radio for laughs or to enhance the listener’s experience when it comes to storytelling by changing a male voice into female voice, and vice versa. However, it can also be used to disguise the voice of someone who wants to remain anonymous.
Incantation: Invīsibilis
Etymology: From Latin videō “see” → vīsibilis “that may be seen, visible” to invīsibilis “invisible”.
Use: Causes the target to become invisible from everyone, including animals. However, it doesn’t hide the target’s scent and whatever noises they make.
Incantation: Albescendentis
Etymology: From Latin albescens, present participle of albescere “to grow white”, from albus “white” and the Latin word for “tooth” is dentis.
Use: To whiten teeth, but it doesn’t clean them.
Note: Magical whitening toothpaste does exist. For example: There was a question asking what product Gilderoy Lockhart used to achieve his "famous dazzling white smile," to which one student answered Gentleman's-tooth-pearling-paste and another answered with Fairy Spark Dust. While the Weasley family uses Piquant Toothpaste, a spicy wizarding tooth paste. It’s made with 100% pure African Red Pepper, it is fluoride free and contains no saccharin, preservatives, or dyes.
Incantation: Insecta Repellere
Etymology: From Latin repellere “to drive back” → re- “back” + pellere “to drive”. And insecta from Latin insectum “insect”.
Use: To repel all insects from the area or on the casters’ self.
Note: Caster must wave their wand around them or the area in a circle. This is quite useful when camping.
Incantation: Volitāre
Etymology: From Latin volō “I fly; move swiftly” → volitō 1. “I fly about” 2. “I hasten” 3. “I hover”. → volitāre (present infinitive of volitō).
Use: Causes any ordinary object to be capable of flight.
Note: If for some reason the Caster doesn’t have access to a professional flying broom they can make one themselves. It will be very basic and works the best on non-magical brooms, carpets and branches. It will also be very finicky without other charms to aid it (such as braking charm, cushioning charm, feather-light charm, non-slip grip charm, etc.).
Incantation: Speculum
Etymology: From Latin speciō “I observe, watch, look at” + -culum = speculum ”a looking-glass, mirror”.
Use: Allows the caster to spy on a target they know through a mirror and see their current activities.
Note: It doesn’t work if the target is under concealment, disillusionment or protective wards. It doesn’t include sound and may not work if the target is too far away.
Incantation: Grandinis
Etymology: From Latin grandinosus "producing hail, hailstorm" → grando "hail, hailstorm".
Use: It creates a small, localized hailstorm.
Incantation: Auscultō
Etymology: From Latin aus-, the original stem of auris “ear”, + Proto-Indo-European ḱel- “to incline” → auscultō “I listen, I hear”.
Use: Causes the target to eavesdrop on conversations. They must tap their ear and then aimed their wand in the direction they wish to listen in.
Incantation: Caligomentis
Etymology: A hybrid of Latin words caligo, which means “mist”, and mentis, which means “mind”.
Use: It creates a cloud of mist to surround the mind of the caster or whoever it’s used on.
Note: It’s not fool-proof against a very skilled Legilimens, but it does provide a bit of protection for surface thoughts, emotions, and memories.
Incantation: Caligo Eructo
Etymology: From Latin caligo “mist” and from Latin eructo "I raise"; roughly translated, it means "I raise mist".
Use: This spell is used to create and control, a cloud of mist to cover the area.
Note: The size and thickness of the mist depends on the intent of the caster.
Incantation: Removeō Odos
Etymology: From Latin odos “odor, scent, smell” and removeō “I remove, take away”.
Use: To remove any vapor, smell, or odor.
Note: Useful for when the caster is being track by their smell (such as by vampires, werewolves and so on) or to remove the chemical scent of cleaning supplies, decay, trash, etc.
Incantation: Fortūnātus Viāticus
Etymology: From Latin fors “chance, luck” → fortūna “luck, fortune, destiny, prosperity” → fortūnātus “fortunate, prospered, prosperous; lucky, happy.” From Latin via “road, path” + -aticus → viāticus “related to a journey or travel”.
Use: Causes the target to have good fortune on their journey or travel.
Note: It’s the equivalent of wishing someone good luck on their trip. But instead of ‘wishing’ this spell actually gives a slight boost to the target’s luck. The spell is rarely used because it’s fueled by the caster’s own good fortune and for its duration (typically it’s for however long the target’s journey lasts) they may experience more misfortune than usual.
Incantation: Pillus Aufero
Etymology: From Latin pillus “hair” and Latin aufero “remove”.
Use: Causes hair in whichever area the spell is directed at to be removed.
Note: This doesn’t permanently remove hair. It’s the magical equivalent of waxing. If one wants to permanently remove any hair on their body there are magical creams that do so.
Incantation: Proximitatem Moneō
Etymology: From Latin proximitatem (nominative proximitas) "nearness, vicinity," from proximus "nearest, next; most direct; adjoining”. From Latin moneō ”I warn, I advise”.
Use: The caster waves their wand at the area in which they want an alert on and than tap on an object (such as a bracelet, ring, etc.), which will glow brightly when the spell has been triggered.
Note: This is a silent proximity alert spell. Intruders won’t be aware that they’ve triggered it but the caster will know.
Incantation: Duplicātus Scrīptum
Etymology: From Latin duplex “twofold, double” → duplicātus “doubled, duplicated” and from Latin scrīptum “text; anything written, writing”.
Use: Caster must tap and drag their wand (or finger, if wandless) across the writing that they wish to copy and than tap onto a blank piece of parchment.
Incantation: Tempus
Etymology: From Proto-Indo-European tempos “stretch”, from the root temp- “to stretch, string”, whence also templum “shrine” and tempora. Or from Proto-Indo-European temh- “to cut”. Thus a section (of time). Originally the word meant "what is stretched, stretching" → "stretch (of time)" → "time, occasion".
Use: For the caster to know what’s the current time and date.
Note: I don’t know the origins of this fan made spell, only that it appeared often in Harry Potter fanfiction. In particular, the time travel stories. It has become obsolete now with the muggle invention of clocks and analog wrist watches. Hogwarts does have a clock tower, which chimes every half hour and strikes a small bell at the beginning and conclusion of class sessions. Nearly all the students, Hogwarts staff and all of wixen do carry pocket-watches and/or wrist watches to help them keep track of time.
Incantation: Tempori Succentivus [time] Ante Meridiem or Post Meridiem
Etymology: See Tempus, as the word literally means “on time”. In Latin, succino is from sub- + canō “sing”; which is “sounding to, accompanying”. Also in Latin -invus “doing” or “related to doing”.
Use: The caster must tap on an object (such as their wrist watch, pillow, bracelet, etc,) to anchor the spell. When it’s used it will create an alarm that will sing (chime) on the exact time that the caster indicates within their incantation.
Note: It’s basically an alarm clock. For example, if the caster has somewhere to be or they wish to wake up at a certain time just say Tempori Succentivus [7:00] Ante Meridiem (or Post Meridiem, depending on which part of the day they specifically want the spell to go off on). After all, the abbreviations A.M. and P.M. represent the Latin phrase ante meridiem and post meridiem which mean “before midday” and “after midday”.
Note 2: Both the 24-hour and 12-hour notations are used in the United Kingdom. However, the “a.m.” and “p.m.” abbreviations are not used with 24-hour time in any form. Because in the 12-hour format 6:30 a.m. is 06:30 (morning) in 24-hour format, and 6:30 p.m. is 18:30 (night). For example it would just be Tempori Succentivus [07:00].
Incantation: Revertōr Minūta
Etymology: From Latin revertōr “I return; I turn back”, from Medieval Latin minūta “60th of an hour; minutes”.
Use: Causes a person to be able to go back sixty minutes into the past.
Note: This is one of the first attempts at time travel. It only works for sixty minutes because anything else will cause serious harm to the caster and/or time itself. It works best when the spell is anchor to a time device, such as pocket watch with a perpetual calendar.
Incantation: Quilegere Papyrus
Etymology: From Old Latin quei, which means “who”, in Latin legere is “read” and from Latin papȳrus is “paper”.
Use: This spell must be applied first to the letter, written message or note and than tap onto another blank piece of parchment before being sent out. This allows the caster to know if the addressee of the letter has read it and if anyone else has done so too.
Note: This is good to know if messages are being ignored or if someone has intercepted it.
Incantation: Detectus Mala Voluntate
Etymology: From Latin detectus, perfect passive participle of detegere “to uncover or disclose”, from de- + tegere “to cover”. From Latin malus “evil, wicked” and voluntas which is derived from the old present participle stem welont- + -(t)ās. Confer with volēns “willing” and post-classical volentia “will”.
Use: Caster taps on a item (ie: letter, drink, food) to detect if the sender, marker or purchaser of the item contains any ill intentions towards the recipient.
Note: This is usually the first way to test if an item has been tampered with any curses or potions. Mostly this spell is used to detect hate mail.
Incantation: Mittere
Etymology: Latin root mitto means "send, send forth, let go", and also "abandon". From Late Latin missaticum, in particularly mittere, missum which is “to send”.
Use: It’s a (secret) way to send messages or objects without the need of an owl. The caster visualize the person that they wish to deliver the message to and it will appear in front of them.
Incantation: Sempiternus
Etymology: From Old French sempiternel, from Medieval Latin sempiternālis, from Latin sempiternus, a contraction of semperæternus, from semper “always” + æternus “eternal”.
Use: This will preserve an item in whatever state it is currently in.
Note: If the caster wants to prevent a jar of fresh flowers from wilting or food from spoiling this spell will keep it in its fresh state forever (or as long as the caster’ wants). An unknown (or uncommon knowledge) use of this spell is that it can also prevent someone’s injury or curse from killing them. However, this will need to be performed by someone else because those in such a state are ‘frozen’ or ‘paused’ and can’t help themselves. The counter for this spell is Cesseō (derived from Middle French cesser “to cease”, from Latin cessō “leave off”, frequentative of cēdō “to leave off, go away” and eō “go”).
Incantation: Flōreus Corōna
Etymology: From Latin root word flor “flower” and corōna “garland, crown, wreath”.
Use: Causes a crown made of flowers to appear on a target’s head.
Incantation: Attero
Etymology: Derived from Latin ad “to, towards” + tero “to rub, rub by twisting, twist, turn”.
Use: To weaken objects or cloth (such as ropes) by rubbing against it magically.
Note: Useful for those that are trapped in a room or in a cell by weakening the locks, metal bar or the joints of a door (or barred windows). It may also weaken cuffs or rope as long as they’re not magic suppressors.
Incantation: Phasmatis Prōiectiō
Etymology: From Latin phasma “apparition, specter, phantom” which is derived from Ancient Greek φάσμα (phásma) “apparition, phantom”. From Latin prōiciō→ prō- “from, in the place of; for” + iaciō “throw, hurl” → prōiectiō “projection”.
Use: Causes the target’s spirit to be projected from their body.
Note: It’s basically astral projection.
Incantation: Properō
Etymology: From Latin properus “readiness” + -ō meaning propero “I hasten, quicken or accelerate”.
Use: To cause the target to hasten; to move rapidly.
Incantation: Perpetuus Atrāmentum
Etymology: From Latin perpetuus “perpetual, continuous” and from Latin āter “black” + -āmentum → ātrāmentum "black liquid, ink”.
Use: Causes ink to never end.
Note: It’s extremely useful when it’s applied on fountain pens and ink pots.
Incantation: Trānslātiō [Language]
Etymology: From Latin trāns- “beyond” + ferō “I bear, carry”; → trānsferō “I transfer, convey” → trānslātiō in the broadest sense: the process of transferring or carrying something over from one thing to another; in particular: translation of text from one language to another.
Use: The caster must tap their head, throat and eyes when performing the incantation, which allows them to understand, speak and read the language.
Note: The translations spell won’t be very accurate if the caster doesn’t include the specific language they wish to know within the incantation. Its accuracy also improves if used on writing instead of verbally.
Incantation: Copia Scientia Lingua
Etymology: From Medieval Latin copiare "to transcribe," originally "to write in plenty," from Latin copia "plenty". From Latin sciēns, present participle of sciō “to know, understand” + -ia. From Latin lingua “language, tongue, speech”.
Use: The caster taps the target’s forehead and then their own which will transfer the target’s knowledge of the language into the caster’s mind.
Note: There have been many attempts at discovering the perfect universal translations spell. This spell has been noted to work the best out of them all, but its use has been banned because of the potential for abuse. Specifically it could be used to cheat, as well as steal and/or blackmail the target if the incantation is alter for something other than language.
Incantation: Pausō Senēscēns
Etymology: From Latin pausa “pause; halt, stop”, from Ancient Greek παῦσις (paûsis), from the verb παύω (paúō, “to cause to cease, to stop”). From Latin senescens “ageing; decaying, declining”, present participle of senescere “to grow old”, from senere “to be old”, from senex “old”.
Use: Causes the target’s natural aging process to be put on paused. However, it must be applied at the age of which they prefer to physically stay as.
Note: This is as close to immorality as anyone has ever gotten with a spell, but it requires a steady source of magic to sustain it. The consequences are unknown as no one has ever reveal this spell existence. Nor what happens if someone was to use it and undo the spell after many years have gone by. This spell doesn’t prevent death because they’re still capable of dying from natural and unnatural causes like sickness, poisons, murder, etc.
Incantation: Fūrtim
Etymology: From Latin fūrtim “secretly, stealthily” → fūr “thief” + -tim “-ly”, literally, "like a thief".
Use: Causes the target to be able to move stealthily like a thief, especially if the caster aims the spell at the legs and feet. If the spell is aimed at the hands the target will have deft hands which will help them to pickpocket, picklocks and cheat at card games in a non-magical way.
Note: Majority of the anti-theft spells are to prevent magically means of items from being stolen, not physically. A spell like this one wouldn’t have crossed anyone’s minds to guard against. It’s effectiveness will also depend on the caster’s natural physical abilities because it only enhances what they already have, not gives them it.
Incantation: Rōbōratus
Etymology: From Latin rōbur “strength” with verb being rōbor + ō which means “I strengthen; fortify, harden”.
Use: When applied to a object it will make it stronger and harder to break. It also increases a person’s natural physical strength (or their mental willpower, depending on the caster’s intent for the spell when applying it).

Use: It causes any cold or hot liquids to become lukewarm in temperature.
Note: It doesn’t work on large bodies of water.
Incantation: Noctis Vīsiō

Note: Works best when applied to some type of eyewear, such as glasses, sunglasses, goggles and so on.

Incantation: Minuō Cicātrīcōsus
Etymology: From Latin minuō “I make smaller, lessen, diminish” and from Latin cicātrīx “scar” + -ōsus “full of, prone to” → cicātrīcōsus “covered with scars, scarred”.
Use: Causes all of the scars on the target’s body to be smaller and less apparent.
Note: This spell won’t worked that well for wounds that were caused by dark magic. In those cases it’s best to use a specialize paste that might be able to minimized the scarring. But mostly to prevent terrible scarring in the first place one must act quickly to treat the wound when it’s fresh.
Incantation: Salūs Diagnōsis
Etymology: From Latin salūs “health,” and it also has the metaphorical sense of well-being, prosperity, safety, etc. From Latin diagnōsis, from Ancient Greek διάγνωσις (diágnōsis), from διαγιγνώσκω (diagignṓskō) “to discern”, from διά (diá), “through” + γιγνώσκω (gignṓskō), “to know”.
Use: Caster waves their wand over the target’s entire body (starting from the head and ending at their feet), which will give them a very comprehensive health check by magically scanning them for any problems.
Note: A parchment doesn’t appear in the air displaying the results. Instead, the caster will automatically gain the information of the target’s physical health in their head. If they wish to have a record of the results they must tap onto a blank parchment.
Incantation: Relevare Doleō
Etymology: From Latin levō “I make light, lighten” → relevō “relieve, ease, comfort” and Latin dolor “pain, hurt, ache”.
Use: Causes the target’s pain and any other physical discomfort to be less severe.

Use: Improves the target’s eyesight to see further away and better at night.
Note: It does not correct eyesight, only improves what the target already has.
Incantation: Sendolora

Use: It will magically sew together; stitch cloths or flesh.
Incantation: Corrēctus Oculus
Etymology: From Latin corrigō “to correct” and Latin oculus “eye”.
Use: Causes the target’s eyesight to be corrected; fixed.
Note: This spell is temporarily and would need to be reapplied after a while. This is the magical equivalent of eye contacts. A permanent solution for one’s eyesight to be corrected would be to use a eyedropped potion, but it’s very expensive.
Incantation: Pūrificō Aēr
Etymology: From Latin pūrus “clean, pure” → pūrificō “purify, cleanse”. Latin āēr “air”, borrowed from Ancient Greek ἀήρ (aḗr), “wind, atmosphere”.
Use: Cause the air to be purify, which will cleanse it of any contaminants such as germs, dust, smoke, mold, and more.

Etymology: From Latin contra “against”. From Latin fertilis “fruitful, fertile”, from ferō “I bear, carry”.
Use: To prevent pregnancy. It blocks fertilization from occurring when directed at the woman’s lower abdomen before and after intercourse.
Note: Potions are always more effective than spells, but most will use both methods to insure nothing happens. Another thing to note, is that the wizarding world is old-fashioned, especially the older families (like purebloods who are very vocal about their views). Most of them strongly condemned premarital sex and in particularly they dislike spells or potions that would encourage it. I wouldn’t be surprised if at some point they also banned these spells when they’ve noticed the decreasing birth rate and the increased offspring mortality from inbreeding. The last thing they would want is the younger generation not upholding their duty to their family by not producing an heir after their arranged marriage.
Incantation: Terminātus Impraegnō
Etymology: From Latin terminātus, past participle of terminō “I set bounds to, bound, limit, end, close, terminate”, from terminus “a bound, limit, end”. From Latin impraegnāre “impregnate, fertilize”, present active infinitive of impraegnō.
Use: To prevent impregnation. It must be applied over a woman’s lower abdomen before and/or after intercourse.
Note: Anything having to do with intimate matters, like sex tend to be a very hush-hush subject in the wizarding world. That’s why if someone (in particularly muggleborns) can’t find any information on the subject they’re most likely to invent a new spell for it. After all, it’s not unusual to find that there are more than one version of a spell that does the same job (especially in other magical communities), but may vary in it’s effectiveness.
Incantation: Umbrāticus [Name of Plant or Fungus]
Etymology: From Latin umbra “shadow”, “shade” + -aticus → umbrāticus “found in the shade”.
Use: Allows the caster, in particularly potion masters to quickly locate specific plants or fungus that grow in the shade.
Incantation: Frictiō
Etymology: From Latin fricō “rub” + -tiō → frictiō “massage”.
Use: Causes the target to recieve a gentle neck or back massage.
Incantation: Vomitus
Etymology: From Latin vomo “to spew, vomit”.
Use: Causes the target to vomit; throw up whatever they’ve consumed.
Note: 1. Use medically to remove whatever harmful substance the target swallowed. 2. Can be used as a jinx too.
Incantation: Abscindō
Etymology: From Latin ab- “away from” + scindō “cut, tear; divide”.
Use: 1. For medically to amputate (but can be use for ill intentions). 2. To banish; expel or separate something from the target (ie. hope, desire, sadness, and so on).
Note: Caster’s may clarify their spell by altering the incantation, such as using ‘Abscindō Digitus Manūs’ (meaning cut finger, specifically from the hand) or Abscindō Spes (meaning tear hope away).
Jinx & Hex Spells
Jinx is a minor type of Dark magic, having the least severe effects. Jinxes are irritating, but amusing. However, Hex is a moderate type of Dark magic, being that they are slightly worse than jinxes, but not as dark as curses. Hex spells cause moderate suffering to the victim.
Incantation: Gravitas
Etymology: From Latin gravis “heavy”.
Use: When used on a target its weight will become heavier, making it difficult to lift up or to be moved around.
Incantation: Impedio
