Mens Res Facit Locomote

Type: charm

Difficulty: advanced - expert

Etymology: lat. "the mind makes things locomote" or "the mind sets things in motion"

Effect: The Locomotio charm is a complicated spell, as indicated by its unusually long incantation. The spell allows the caster to animate any target they wish into a specific, typically repeating motion. The caster must picture the exact motion while casting the spell. The larger the object the more difficult the spell.
