Avada Kedavra (Killing Curse) (Unforgivable Curse)
Avada Kedavra is a spell that causes instantaneous death and is one of the three Unforgivable Curses known as the Killing Curse. There is no counter-curse or cure for it; however, one may dodge the green bolt, use a physical barrier to block it, or intercept the bolt with another spell. An explosion or green fire may result if the spell hits something other than a living target. Its incantation is Avada Kedavra. Use of this curse results in an immediate, trial-less life sentence to Azkaban. This rule is exempt to Aurors only, and if only necessary.

The Killing Curse is described as a jet of blinding green light, which causes the victim instant death. There are no secondary effects; the victim simply drops dead for no biological reason. Victims are perfectly healthy apart from the fact they were all dead.

When this curse hits an inanimate target, its effects various: it can produce small fires, small greenish explosions, or explosions of such intensity that can blow up an entire story of a cottage.

Phoenixes are the only immune creatures to the Killing Curse. The Phoenix will simply burst into flames, and be reborn from the ashes.

Very few Aurors, with the opportunity, have actually cast the Killing Curse. The only Auror known to have cast it more than once is Lucius Crouch Jr., the most renowned Auror of all time.

Arania Exumai (Anti-Spider Hex)
Arania Exumai is a spell used to kill or, at least, blast back acromantulas or other large spiders. It is considered a hex because it caused no harm to anything but spiders but still harms something.

Babbalarus (Babbling Curse)
Babbalarus, the Babbling Curse, causes a person to babble whenever they try to speak.

(Anti-Disapparition Jinx)
The Anti-Disappartition Jinx is used to prevent disapparition in an area for a time. Presumably can be used to prevent a victim from entering a defended area, or be used to trap a victim in an area. Though termed a jinx by title, this spell is actually a curse as it is chiefly used to control the freedom of movement of certain individuals. It can be used to protect an area or to trap prey. Though it is a curse, it is not necessarily Dark Magic.

It is set around the wizard bank, Gringotts, to prevent robberies. You can apparate into it, but not out. This is a way to catch criminals implemented by Lucius Crouch, Jr.

It was cast long ago on the Hogwarts Castle and its grounds, presumably by the Hogwarts Headmaster of the time. The jinx is lifted temporarily when sixth-year students are taking Apparition lessons so that they may practice within the school grounds.

Age Line Spell
The Age Line is a spell which creates a line that is impassable by people below a set age. The incantation is as follows: "He who is younger the [age] year, will pass not the line that lies here." Subjects who attempt to breach the line are repelled, and grow long, white bears, regardless of sex. It works for calendar age, not physical age. It is transfiguration because something is being conjured.

Aqua Eructo (Water Conjuring Spell)
Aqua Eructo is a conjuring spell that can create a jet of clear water, with an icy blue colored light.

Arrus (Arrow-Shooting Spel)
