Charms Lesson 4 Year 1 : Severing/Fire Making Charms

Professor Sterling thinks about what to say to students for their midterm exams. She holds a piece of parchment, and starts scribbling, when suddenly, students walk in.

Welcome students, to the Charms Classroom, once again! Before the charms, as usual,  we will be learning something extra, which is the prime Zygmunt's Theory!

 

You might think I am dumping you with theories the very first year, but theory is very important, and if you only learn the spells, you'd never know where should you apply it!

 

Zygmunt Williams created one of the most important charms theory, the Reaction Theory, which provided us the definition of Charms!

As I said at the start of the very first class, Charms is often confused with Transfiguration. The theory allowed Charms to be perfectly defined and to be differentiated fairly with other components such as Transfiguration.

The theory states that if 1/3rd of the charmed substances' components are freely roaming around, then the 2/8th component, which is released out while casting a spell, is sensible. After a detailed study of the molecular levels of released spell energy and the spell energy which roams around, these were totaled to be a reaction happening in the molecular wizarding science, the levels were found to be molecules, but they did not have a fixed level, so they were found out to be different from Transfiguration.

Man behind the Invention

Zygmunt Williams was a top wizarding scientist. He came to Hogwarts in the year 1756, and he was sorted to Gryffindor. He was a Prefect for his house, and his favourite class, naturally, was Charms. He graduated from Hogwarts and worked ina muggle science university, and was highly interested in the Molecular Levels of different objects. He then travelled towards the Wizarding New York, and opened a research laboratory. He researched a lot, and finally came to the conclusion of Charms causing a proper molecular reaction. In fact, we already knew half the definition for Charms ; he helped us to find out the molecular substances of it.

The Fire Making Charm

 

So, we'll be learning the Fire Making Charm today. It is a proper latin spell casting word ; the incantation is, indeed. The purpose of the spell is to - of course, make fire! It is a dangerous spell, as you have to maintain proper concentration at the target while aiming the spell, as you even might end up with igniting yourselves! This spell is a spell in which you need to develop and you will each time you cast the Charm, until you could control the fire from from a small fire to a big bunch of fire. I must again warn you, this spell is VERY dangerous, so aim your targets carefully. This spell does not have any invention theories, so let's begin with the Spell Casting Components.

Incantation: Incendio

Pronunciation: in-SEN-dee-ohh
Wand Movement: Curved flicks both sides(Shape of the flame)
Willpower: Varies - Low to Very High(for the amount of fire you need)
Concentration: Varies - Low for a small pinch of fire, more for a big ball of fire

The Severing Charm

 

The Severing Charm is used to cut all sorts of things ; such as extra cloth pieces and more. It was invented by a wizarding seamstress called Delfina Crimp sometimes in the 1400s. A rival shopkeeper, beside her shop, realised that she is a witch, and with his benchmates, he tied up Delfina and almost stuck her to death, but that's when she used her brains ; she got untied, pretending to scratch a mole, but she took her wand instead, and apparated with all her gold. This charm could be of any of the three colours ; light green, pink or red.  It's isn't as easy as you see it, as it requires a lot of effort, and nothing can happen too! It is a very dangerous charm, as it states, you could end up cutting a person, or a wrong object too!

Incantation: Diffindo

Pronunciation: deef-IN-doe
Wand Movement: V- shaped up and down flicks, and a swishy point towards the target
Willpower: Low
Concentration: Moderate

Students cast both the spells well together.

Great Job! I appreciate your effort! Today, you'll have only a Quiz that is Mandatory. Your next week would be with Professor Sterling! and Oh, you'll have your Midterms too!
