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.
