Charms Club

[medens-lupus.livejournal.com]

Hey guys, I'm medens_lupus, aka Jay. I'm the mod of this community as weall as the head of Charms Club. If you wish to join this club, simply respond to this post. We're going to be talking about the various charms in canon and whenever i feel like having a contest you can make you own charms depending on the contest. I'm not sure how i'll work out prizes yet, but maybe i'll just do a nifty lil banner. We'll also be discussing how the class is run in canon. Seeing as how we know verly little about our beloved class, a lot will be lucky guesses. Friday is the best day for me, so i'll try to make a post with an activity every friday, but it'll be loose.

Consider this your application. There's no limit on how many members, i'm just doing this to be all official-like.

Name you want to be called:
House:
Pick a problem you deal with in everyday life and make up a charm for it. Use this latin-english dictionary if you have to.( http://humanum.arts.cuhk.edu.hk/Lexis/Latin/ ) Describe the wand movements and the incantation. As long as anything else that may be invlved.

Here's mine: Lumos veridis, the incantation to turn traffic lights green. The wand movement is a sharp jab at the offending traffic light and the mind should be filled with thoughts of what you will eb able to accomplish once you start moving again.


Have fun and I hope you all like the club!


~~EDIT~~

I've made you all presents! They're simple welcome banners, i hope you like them. I also need the practice for making prizes for contests. Enjoy!

Name you want to be called: Cami

House: Ravenclaw

Charm: facies conficio || If you ever need to get ready to go somewhere in a hurry, this charm instantly does so, covering the basics: brushed teeth, washed, combed, and dried hair, washed face. If you want to apply make up as well, the incantation is facies conficio et fuco. The charm automatically applies the makeup that best fits the outfit you are wearing when it is performed.

It's great for sleeping in and getting ready in five minutes. (Oh, don't I wish.)

You must be in front of a mirror for the charm to be performed, as it the wand must be pointed at the witch or wizard to whom it is being applied for it to work. The mirror serves to reflect the spell and bounce it back to you. In any case, for the basic incantation (facies conficio) you must move the wand as if tracing an "S" in the air, then, from the endpoint of the "S," you have to connect the two ends of the letter with a diagonal slash as shown here: .

To add the makeup factor, you must say the longer incantation (facies conficio et fuco) and tap your forehead with the tip of your wand.
