Schleppend is an enchantment of the third level with a range of one-hundred-twenty feet and a duration of about four minutes. 

Schleppend nearly quadruples the processing speed of the brain, allowing one to think and calculate at a super-human rate.  However, there is a drawback; the perceived world slows down to quarter speed.  People have reported feeling trapped in their bodies as they feel they are moving in slow motion.  The spell lasts fully for two minutes, then fades over the next two.  But for one under its influence, the experience seems to last for fifteen minutes. 

Schleppend was discovered in Germany by independent researchers Friedrich Stolz and Henry Drysdale Dakin in 1904.  Even though another independent researcher in Japan, Jokichi Takamine, made the discovery four years earlier, the Germans were the first to file the discovery with their local magical authority, and thus they received the credit. 

On the morning of January 15, 2009, US Airways flight 1549 took off from LaGuardia airport in New York City.  A few seconds later, both engines became disabled by a flock of Canadian geese.  No commercial aircraft had ever lost both engines so soon after take-off, and no pilot had been trained for such an extreme event.  Forty-nine-year-old, First officer Jeffrey B. Skiles, cast Schleppend upon himself so that he could work through the problem more quickly.  His calculations determined that the aircraft would not be able to land at any nearby airport.  He relayed his conclusion to lead pilot, Chesley B. Sullenberger, who skillfully crash-landed the plane into the Hudson River, saving the lives of everyone on board.

Hearme is a third level evocation with an unlimited range and a material requirement of a quarter gram of copper.

This spell allows the castor to send a short message of around twenty-five words to any one person, anywhere on Earth.  The receiver will hear the sender's voice as if they were a few feet away yet it is unperceivable to anyone else. 

Hearme was discovered in San Francisco on March 21, 2006.  This time was the beginning of the tech boom when millions of people were opening social media accounts.  The ease of sending instant messages online made Hearme obsolete before it’s first use.  Plus, the cost of copper would make each message cost about fifteen cents at the time.  An interesting note is that mobile phone companies lowered their text message rates to undercut any competition this spell would have offered. 

Hearme is mostly used in developing regions by those who do not have access to mobile technology. 

One drawback of Hearme is that the receiver of the message has no control overhearing the spoken words.  In the same year of its discovery, the FCC amended the Telephone Consumer Protection Act to include unsolicited uses of Hearme.  Local offices of the Department of Magical Affairs have equipment and personnel trained to track the source of the spell to protect anyone who may feel they are being harassed.

Solarevelo is an entry-level evocation. 

Solarevelo launches a non-incendiary flare into the air to an approximate height of sixty feet.  As the flare slowly descends, it casts a brilliant blue light of about forty thousand lumens which cannot pass through magical fields of energy. The spell ends when the flare touches the ground.  Anti-magic fields, shields, and barriers will cast shadows just as if they were solid.  The light emitted can be as bright as daylight, illuminating an area for a short time.  This spell is useful in detecting intruders who may have cast a spell of invisibility.  One only needs to find an out of place shadow to uncover the hidden castor. 

Solarevelo is not very useful in close quarters such as a small room.  The flare is not hampered by physical objects and will disappear through the ceiling.

This spell was discovered in Virginia in 1859 by Martha Coston and was used extensively by the Navy to signal to other ships and to shore.  After 1922, the Army cast the spell from passing planes to illuminate battlefields.  Further research found that Solarevelo cannot be cast underwater nor in a vacuum. 

On February 17, 1864, the H.L. Hunley became the first combat submarine to sink a warship.  The civil war battle claimed the Hunley and her crew.  History is unclear exactly what happened after the battle.  The day after the attack, the commander of “Battery Marshall” reported that he had received “the signals” from the submarine indicating she was returning to her base. The report did not say what the signals were. A postwar correspondent wrote that “two blue lights” were the prearranged signals for return.  But when the submarine did not return it was the consensus of the Navy that as the submarine sank, the crew cast solarevelo as a desperate call for help.

Today, solarevelo is still used in the military and for maritime safety.

Gembong geni is an evocation of the fourth level which is cast upon the self, with an instant casting time, a duration of ten minutes, and a material requirement of a teaspoon of phosphorus.

Gembong geni creates a ten-foot sphere around the castor, which is approximately half an inch thick.  Channeled microwave energy in this layer has a frequency of 2450 MHz and a wavelength of 12.24 cm.  Any person or animal that passes through this barrier will feel a burning sensation as water molecules in the body become excited.  The discomfort can be avoided by either moving away from the sphere or passing through it quickly enough to prevent the effects.

Discovered by I. F. Mouromtsef in 1920, this spell led to further research into microwaves which paved the way to the invention of the modern microwave oven. 

Police and military use gembong ghei as a non-lethal deterrent for crowd control.  The most common use of the spell is by people living in rural areas as rain protection.  During a drizzle or very light rain, gembong geni will evaporate and water before it can reach the ground.  Urban dwellers are not permitted this use as the spell is too likely to injury passersby. 

Krankheet is a first-level necromancy spell with a range of sixty feet.

Krankheet causes a target to experience a wave of violent nausea.  The effect lasts only for a moment, but it usually causes the victim to vomit.  The spell emits a faint, green vapor from the wand when cast.

Discovered in 1999 in Luxembourg, has caused as much aid as it has harm.  Nearly 4.7 million females and 1.5 million males will have their lives threatened by the potentially deadly disorder, bulimia.  People with bulimia compulsively binge on large amounts of food and then attempt to purge the calories through compensatory behaviors like vomiting, use of laxatives, use of diet pills, and exercise.  Statistics show that of those with bulimia, 97% self-cast krankheet.  When properly administered, krankheet can help those who may have swallowed something they should not have.  In early 2018, there was an uptick in the recorded use of krankheet due to an epidemic of teenagers ingesting laundry detergent due to social pressure and lack of self-regulation.

Krankheet is a controlled spell only to be administered by medical personnel.

Chorea is a sixth level enchantment cast upon the self with a material requirement of ergot fungi and a duration that will last until the fungi is burned with lavender flowers.  Chorea is a rare, contagious spell that will spread it’s effects to anyone who makes physical contact.

Chorea causes one to have an irresistible desire to dance.  The movement can be as subtle as tapping a foot or wildly acrobatic.  The target feels euphoric, and after the spell ends, they feel refreshed. 

Chorea was discovered in July 1518 in France.  However, the method for ending the spell was not discovered until the 1800s.  On that Summer day centuries ago, Frau Troffea, of Strasbourg, unwittingly cast the spell upon herself and began to dance.  This lasted somewhere between four and six days. Within a week, 34 others had joined, and within a month, there were around 400 dancers, predominantly female. All these people died from heart attacks, strokes, or exhaustion.  The plague ended after the final dancer had died before touching another person.

Today, the spell is used as a recreational drug. The use of chorea is legal in 39 states so long as a thurible is used.  A thurible is a tall candle holder with a timer that drops the fungi and lavender into the flame. 

There are currently eleven states where chorea is banned.  Check local laws before casting.

Tōketsu-kyū is a sixth level evocation with a range of three hundred feet and a material requirement of a small crystal sphere.

Upon casting, an atom of dark energy with a negative temperature shoots from the wand.  As it travels through the air, it freezes the water vapor and begins to grow.  The maximum size of the ice sphere is about that of a golf ball.  Once the sphere reaches the maximum range, it will dispel, but the newly formed ball of ice will continue.  If cast from a high position, such as the roof of a tall building, the impact can be lethal.  Serious injury can occur from any distance if shot horizontally.  If shot directly up, the ice sphere will fall back to earth at around fifty-four miles per hour.

Discovered in Japan in the early 1800s, it has been used as a weapon in many wars.  Referred to a ‘guerilla rain,’ it was used to pummel opposing forces and led to victory in Japan’s invasion of Taiwan and the Boxer rebellion.

Today, Tōketsu-kyū is used in testing aircraft design and scientific research.  In 2013, scientists discovered that what was once thought to be the coldest possible temperature, absolute zero, was nowhere near the truth.  As mentioned earlier, the spell creates an atom with a negative temperature, that is, below absolute zero.  This discovery has prompted scientists to come up with a new scale of measurement and dubbed the phenomenon, quantum gas.

Tōketsu-kyū is a controlled spell in the United States which requires a permit to cast.

Txav av is a sixth level transmutation with a range of one hundred twenty feet, a duration of two hours, requires concentration to maintain, and a material requirement of an equal mixture of iron and sand.

The spell allows one to manipulate sand from a distance.  The amount lifted is limited to the physical strength of the castor. 

Discovered in China in the seventh century, txav av was used as a weapon to temporarily blind invaders.  Many came to fear the sandstorms produced by the northern Chinese army.

Today the spell is used in manufacturing and construction.  The most impressive use of txav av has been displayed every year since 1974 in Virginia Beach, Virginia at the Neptune Festival.  Dozens of artists from around the world compete to make the most beautiful sand sculptures.  Both traditional and magical categories produce breathtaking art over three days. 

Claire de lune is a second level evocation with a minute duration, requires concentration to maintain, and a material requirement of several seeds of any moonseed plant.

The spell allows only the castor to view the moon unobstructed.  Whether in an underground cavern or a park on a sunny day before the moon has risen, one can see the moon through the Earth, buildings, and clouds. 

Claire de lune was discovered in Canada in 1915 and immediately became widely used as a navigational aid.  NASA used the spell during the Gemini and Apollo moon missions.  During the Apollo 11 mission, Buzz Aldrin conducted an experiment.  When he cast Claire de lune while standing on the moon’s surface, to him, the moon disappeared.  The results can be duplicated on earth at the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington, DC.  Visitors can cast the spell while touching a recovered moon rock and watch it vanish.

The recorded use of Claire de lune spikes during every lunar eclipse as people around the globe view the celestial dance.  The next total lunar eclipse will take place on April 25, 2032.

Mudicifia a memoria is a fifth level enchantment with a range of 30 feet, a duration of about a minute, and requires concentration to maintain. 

The spell allows the castor to reshape a target's memory.  The changes are limited to minor details such as colors, shapes, and numbers.  Also, the spell is only effective on short term memories; once a memory has been processed, usually during sleep, it becomes untouchable by mudicifia a memoria. Studies have shown that the window to effectively alter a memory is within the first six hours.  The mechanics of the spell take practice and is akin to painting.  When learning the spell, a castor is often clumsy in making changes.  The mind has defenses against manipulation and if a difference is too significant, it will reject the new image.  In time, one can learn to make subtle modifications that the mind will accept.

Discovered at the Korsakoff Institute in the late 19th century, use of mudicifia a memoria can aid patients who have suffered a traumatic event.  The spell is also used as a study aid.

Use of mudicifia a memoria on an unwilling target is a felony; ask permission before casting.
