Charms Class – Year 7, Lesson 19: The Force Spell – How to Push Objects with Precision

Professor Introduction

Professor Cedric Hallowbrook:
Ah, the Force Spell. Sounds rather dramatic, doesn’t it? No, it won’t help you lift brooms with your mind like a Jedi—but it will help you repel enemies and obstacles with a burst of pure magical force.

Today’s lesson focuses on this powerful, non-lethal charm used for defense, dueling, and crowd control. A perfect spell for witches and wizards with a bit of flair.

About the Force Spell

• Type: Charm / Defensive Magic
• Effect: Releases a controlled shockwave of magical force that knocks back people or objects.
• Incantation: Repulso Vis (reh-PUL-soh VEES)
• Wand Movement: Sharp push forward like you’re launching the spell away from you

Magical Uses

Dueling Defense
A staple in competitive dueling—excellent for gaining space and interrupting your opponent’s spells.

Obstacle Removal
Can be used to blast open doors, clear debris, or move large objects in emergencies.

Magical Repositioning
Advanced casters use it to reposition targets or opponents without causing permanent harm.

How to Cast the Force Spell

Wand Movement:

1. Hold your wand in front of your chest.
2. Perform a forceful push forward, like casting a focused pulse of air.

Incantation:

• Say: Repulso Vis
• Pronounce “Vis” as “Vees” (Latin for power or force)

Visualization Tips

Imagine a sudden pulse of energy surging from your wand—like a magical shockwave or a magical “shove.” You’re not trying to cause harm, just create distance.

Safety Warnings

• Overcasting can knock your target unconscious or hurl them across the room
• Not recommended in tight spaces
• Practice on magical dummies, not classmates!
• Should never be aimed at flying creatures or anyone near a ledge

Classroom Practice

• Aim and control
• Energy management (too much force = point deduction)
• Proper wand movement

Extra points for accuracy!

Fun Fact

The Force Spell has a rich history in wizard dueling tournaments, where it’s nicknamed The Courteous Shove—because it knocks your opponent back without harming them. Chivalry and chaos, hand in hand!
