Locomotor
“Loco” is Latin for “place”. “Moto” is Latin for “to move”. Causes an object to travel floating in the air.
Locomotor Mortis
The Leg-Locker Curse. Causes the victim’s legs to lock together. The incantation for this spell is of a similar form to the “Locomotor” spell but doesn’t seem to sit very happily with it, considering the very different effects.
Lumos
“Lumen” is Latin for light. “Luminosus” is Latin for “bright”. Produces light from the end of the caster’s wand.
Mobili-XXXXX
“Mobilis” is Latin for “moveable”. When XXXXX is replaced by an object, the object is forced to move.

Nox
Latin for “night”. Causes the effect of Lumos to stop.

Named after the orchid, a type of flower. Creates flowers from the caster’s wand.
Permanent Sticking
Charm Used to stick one thing to another. Permanently.
