Lux Spicio

Spell Name: Sprite-Seeing Enchantment

Incantation: Lux Spicio

Pronunciation: LUHKS spe-SEE-oh

Spell Branch: Charms

Magical Discipline(s): Enchantments

Appearance: Invisible. Cast by tapping a clear lens (glass, plastic, or otherwise) with the tip of the wand. In the case of eye glasses, goggles, and the like, each lens must be enchanted individually.

Description: Used in the game of Geohaching, this enchanment enables anyone who looks through the lens to see the invisible “Sprites” or “Lux” summoned by the Sprite-Summoning Charm, as well as the faint trail left in its wake as a clue. It is most often applied to cheap muggle sunglasses, but the more dedicated geohachers permanently enchant high-end glasses or goggles to use in their adventures.

Regulations: Legal

Skill Level: Intermediate

Etymology: From Latin lux, meaning light, and spicio meaning to see or reveal.

Notes: For those who wish to participate in Geohaching games but are unable to perform the charm, Weasley’s Wizarding Wheezes keeps a small supply of suitably-enchanted glasses in stock for 6 sickles a pair.
