Spell Name: Unbreakable Charm

Incantation: Indamnum

Pronunciation: in-CAN-toh ACT-ih-vus

Spell Branch: Charms

Magical Discipline(s):

Appearance: Invisible from wand, but outside of the object takes on a silver sheen for a few moments after casting.

Description: Makes object unable to be broken. Difficulty depends both on the natural fragility of the object and the size of the object. If well cast, the object can withstand the pressure of being driven over. Will eventually wear off, and wears off sooner if the spell is forced to take on a lot of force several times.

Regulations: Legal

Skill Level: Intermediate to Advanced

Etymology: From Latin "in-" meaning 'not' and "damnmum" meaning 'damage'.

References:

  • Used by Hermione Granger to make the jar she traps Rita in while in her Animagus form unbreakable so Rita could not shift back to a human.
  • Mentioned by Zoe Torret on her Transfiguration Midterm [1]
