Defence Against Dark Arts 501. Introduction to Dark Arts. The Tickling Charm - Rictusembra

Primera clase del año de Defensa Contra las Artes Oscuras y empezamos con los hechizos oscuros y sus contra hechizos para defenderse. Pero primero vamos con la teoría

Good Morning students. Today we begin a new course about Dark Arts and their Defence. First of all we are going to see some theory . In this light we are going to take a look to the three different categories in Dark Spells. For this reason I suggest you to study the textobook for this year: Advanced Defense Against Dark Arts by Arsenius Jigger

Defense Agains Dark Arts 501: An Introduction
The Dark Arts: The Three Spell Categories 

The jinx is the first and lowest level of Dark spell. Jinxes usually will not cause much harm and are considered to be more of a minor irritation than a serious problem. Some common examples of jinxes are the Tripping Jinx, the Stinging Jinx, and the Knockback Jinx. All of these spells, and any spell that falls under the classification of jinx, will be irritating and can be used as a distraction, but will not cause any lasting damage. Some people will even frequently use jinxes to assist with practical jokes, a habit I suggest none of you participate in. 

The hex is the second classification of Dark spell. These spells are a bit darker than the jinx and will often do more lasting damage. There are not as many examples of hexes, but some popular ones include the Bat-Bogey Hex, the Hurling Hex, and Densaugeo. All of these hexes have effects that cause more damage to the target and are viewed as major inconveniences that cause a moderate amount of suffering. These spells can be reversed through the use of a Hex Breaker.

Finally, we move to the third and final classification of the Dark Arts. The curse is the darkest and most dangerous classification of the Dark Arts. These spells are usually cast with the intent to severely harm or potentially even kill the target. Some of the more well-known curses are the Reductor Curse, the Full Body-Bind Curse, and the Conjunctivitis Curse. The use of these spells is often discouraged unless absolutely necessary. As First Years, I would not expect you to be able to cast any of the curses I have mentioned, but I may provide a lesser curse in a lesson to give you an example.

Now let´s goto the opractise. You are going to lear your firs jinx spell: The Ticling Charm

The Tickling Charm

It is a fairly easy spell to cast and, primarily, its goal is to cause an effect that would distract or harm an opponent. This spell is not a spell that is to be taken lightly. It may seem amusing, but can easily cause enough of a distraction to save your hide by giving you the time to properly cast another spell. 

The incantation for the Tickling Charm is “Rictusempra” (RICK-tuh-SEM-pra) and the wand movement is a series of seemingly squiggly lines moving your wand back and forth from left to right. When all of this is done, a silver light will shoot at your wand and hit the target to be blasted backwards.
