:'''Appearance:''' Sends out flames which take on the form of animals and monsters.
:'''Description:''' Creates semi-sentient Dark fire that consumes everything in its path.  The flames do not have the physical weaknesses of real fire (i.e., immune to water), and are also resistant to any counter-curses but the specific Fiendfyre Counter (so ''Finite'' also does not work).  The flames can be controlled by a skilled and concentrating caster, but distraction can cause him to lose control of them, after which they are nearly impossible to dominate again without stopping them entirely.  The flames can theoretically rampage indefinitely unless they run out of objects to fuel them or are controlled.
:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Illegal.  Master.
:'''Etymology:''' From Latin ''deflagratio'', “burning, destruction by fire”, and ''Inferno'', “hell”
:'''Canon Reference:''' Used by Vincent Crabbe in ''Deathly Hallows''.  His inability to control it destroyed the Room of Hidden Things and killed Crabbe himself.

===''Devinctus'' (Subjugation Hex)===
:'''Pronunciation:''' deh-VINK-tuss
:'''Appearance:''' A bolt of jagged white light

:'''Pronunciation:''' DIFF-roos pare-FEE-goom
:'''Appearance:''' A jet of white light, giving off black sparks en route.  The caster draws an “X” shape in the air, then flicks the wand over it in the direction of the victim.
:'''Description:''' Causes random bones in the body to fracture and explode in random directions.  Is almost always ultimately fatal, given that ribs will eventually fracture and usually explode into the heart and lungs (although, strictly in theory, all ribs might explode outwards only).  Also phenomenally painful; continuing to fight after the first few broken bones is very rare.  Takes thirty four and one-third minutes, with bones exploding roughly one every ten seconds.
:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Illegal.  Master.
:'''Etymology:''' From Latin ''diffringo'', “to shatter”, and ''perfigo'', “to stab”
:'''Notes:''' Like Antonin Dolohov’s curse, the incantation must be spoken aloud for full effect.  Casting it nonverbally will cause the bones to crack, but not explode outwards, and is thus much easier to survive (if no less painful).
:'''At Absit Omen:''' [[Geoffrey Scrimshander]]'s mother was attacked with this curse

===''Digilock'' (Finger Jinx)===
:'''Pronunciation:''' DIH-jih-lok

:'''Canon Reference:''' Attempted use by Ron Weasley against Draco Malfoy in ''Chamber of Secrets'', though it backfired on Ron himself.
:'''Notes:''' Though attempted by second-year Ron, Hermione describes it as “difficult to work at the best of times”, suggesting it would have been beyond a second year even ''without'' a broken wand
:'''At Absit Omen:''' [[Atticus Pennyapple]] hexes [[Figaro Sellaphix]] [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=2678.msg18730#msg18730]; [[Tulojow Nagde]] treats him [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=3029.msg19100#msg19100]; for some reason, it's a spell [[Figaro Sellaphix]] knows well [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=4555.msg31502#msg31502]

===''Extorqueo'' (Dislocation Hex)===

:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Controlled (and Legal in Self-Defense), Master.
:'''Etymology:''' From Latin ''infligo'', “to inflict a blow, cause damage”, and ''mactatus'', “slaughter, destroy”
:'''Canon Reference:''' Used by Dolohov against Hermione during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries.
:'''Notes:''' Damage is reduced if the incantation is not spoken aloud, but the curse must still be treated immediately for the victim to survive.
:'''At Absit Omen:''' [[Cináed Tawse]] welcomes [[Cameron Rosier]] to the neighborhood [http://absitomen.com/index.php?topic=8311.msg64500#msg64500]

:'''Pronunciation:''' ihn-TAH-beh-VISS-cuss
:'''Appearance:''' Red and purple sparks streaking toward the target, cast with a low stabbing motion
:'''Description:''' Derived from Rackharrow’s Entrail-Expelling Curse, the Organ-Liquefying Curse causes internal organs to slowly melt over the course of a few hours.  Unlike Rackharrow’s curse, it affects all organs (instead of simply the ones in the digestive tract), and affects them all simultaneously.  As such, it is more dangerous.  Lasts until target dies or is treated.
:'''Regulations and Skill Level:''' Illegal.  Master.
