Knee-Reversing Hex

no incantation given

Causes the target's knee to become backwards.
*During the 11th century, Gertie Keddle wrote in her diary that she hexed a man who came to retrieve a leather-covered ball from her cabbage patch, and she'd "like to see him fly with his knees back to front, the great hairy hog."

[Laurajean1014]

[Laurajean1014]

Mobiliarbus (MO-bi-lee-AR-bus)

"mobilis" L. movable + "arbor" L. tree

Moves a tree.

The basic spell for moving something starts with the "Mobili-" prefix. It is up to the caster to be able to tack on the correct Latinate word for the object to be moved, in this case a tree. Certainly there cannot be a "standard" spell for moving a tree to one side!

Lockhart's version of a Freezing Charm.

*Lockhart tried this spell on the escaped Cornish Pixies. It had no effect. The spell words certainly don't fit the usual format, so it seems likely that Lockhart was making the whole thing up on the spot
