Accio (Summoning Charm)

Pronunciation: (AK-ee-oh) or (AK-see-oh)

Spell Type: Charm

Description: This charm summons an object to the caster, potentially over a significant distance. It can be used in two ways; either by casting the charm and then naming the object desired, or by pointing your wand at the desired object during or immediately following the incantation to "pull" the target toward the caster; in either case, the caster must concentrate on the object they wish to summon in order for the charm to succeed. The caster doesn't necessarily need to know the location of the target if they say the name of the object to be summoned.

Notes: The summoning charm is limited only to items and small animals, as it was shown to be incapable of summoning people; it is also possible to bewitch items to become impervious to this spell.
