◆ UPDATED SPELLS LIST ◆
Here you will find a list of spells (from the HP and HO universe combined together) broken down by year.
If you transfer to Hogwarts or participate in the Foreign Exchange to go to Hogwarts, you should follow this spell list.
RULES OF THE SPELLS LIST
1. If a spell is not on this list, and you weren’t taught it in a class, do not use that spell. If there are spells from the books, games, or Pottermore that you would like to see added, please contact Prof. Alaina Apking.
2. For the spells in your current year, you must be taught how to do those spells in classes. If the class hasn’t covered that spell yet, you may not use it.
3. Higher years can still do spells from lower years even if they were never taught those spells in classes.
4. You may only use a spell higher than your year if you are asked to use/learn it in a class or an RP Challenge, or if used during a dueling match; both situations must be under the supervision of a professor.
5. First-years are not allowed to use magic outside of classes except in the following cases: class demonstration or assignment, plot purposes, RP Challenges, or any case in which a professor has approved it prior to its use.

Memory Charms
Please don’t feel as though you need to follow this information exactly. These spells (with the exceptions of Obliviate and Recorlevis) were created for the purposes of teaching the Memory Charms class offered by the Hogwarts Charms Department and to enhance the overall roleplaying experience. Ask Prof. Alden Harrington if you'd like more information.
Deleo Memoria ♣♣
Pronunciation: duh-LEE-oh meh-MOAR-ee-uh
Effect: Completely deletes a memory so that it can never be recovered.
Note: A very clear idea of which memory you wish to delete is necessary to cast this spell. Since it can be dangerous, some organizations require both the caster and the victim to sign a consent form (if the victim agrees to it for Mental Healing purposes).
Emendo Memoria ♣♣
Pronunciation: ih-MEHN-doe meh-MOAR-ee-uh
Effect: Unlocks a victim's memories so that they can be rewritten or modified.
Fulcio Repeto ♣♣
Pronunciation: FOOL-chee-oh rih-PEH-toe
Effect: Strengthens a victim's long-term memory.
Note: Can sometimes act as a Countercharm to Obliviate; see the notes on Obliviate. This is primarily used in Mental Healing.
Obliviate (Forgetfulness Charm)
Pronunciation: ob-LIV-ee-ate
Color: Green
Effect: Erases memories.
Notes: Can only be used by Obliviators, Aurors, or (in some cases) Healers. If performed improperly, it can cause severe memory loss or brain damage. Some Committees on Experimental Charms in countries around the world believe that this spell doesn't completely erase memories; it simply prevents victims from accessing those memories. However, if the victim has a strong emotional hold over memories that have been Obliviated, it is possible to regain some of those memories. In other cases, Fulcio Repeto can act as a Countercharm to Obliviate. The conversation among Charms Researchers about whether or not this Charm can truly erase memories completely is called “The Debate on Obliviate.”
Recorlevis ♣♣
Pronunciation: reh-COR-leh-viss
Effect: Implants a false memory in the mind of the target.
Note: A very clear idea of the false memory you wish to implant is necessary to cast this spell. An alternative incantation for this spell is “Reproba Memoria” (rih-PRO-buh meh-MOAR-ee-uh).
Restituo Muneris ♣♣
Pronunciation: ruh-STICH-oo-oh moo-NAIR-iss
Effect: Restores the motor functions to any area of damaged brain tissue.
Sino Repeto ♣♣
Pronunciation: SEE-noh rih-PEH-toe
Effect: Strengthens the victim's short-term memory.
Note: Since this spell only strengthens short-term memory, the effects will usually wear off within 7-10 days. People with good memories might be able to benefit from this spell for up to one month. This is usually cast on people with memory loss due to aging.
Verto Memoria Affectus ♣♣
Pronunciation: VEHR-toe meh-MOAR-ee-uh uh-FECK-tiss
Effect: Allows the caster to rewrite a victim's memory to any extent.
Note: A very clear idea of the memory you wish to rewrite and an idea of where it fits in the victim’s past are necessary to cast the spell. This spell changes what the victim actually remembers, so the effects are usually more permanent than when using Verto Memoria Sententia.
Verto Memoria Sententia ♣♣
Pronunciation: VEHR-toe meh-MOAR-ee-uh sen-TEN-chuh
Effect: Alters the way a victim feels about a certain memory.
Note: This only allows the victim to change his or her mind more easily about what has happened in the past. Therefore, the effects of the spell can wear off easily.
Vigoratus Tela ♣♣
Pronunciation: vih-goh-RAH-toos TELL-uh
Effect: Allows the caster to reconstruct a victim's brain tissue if it has been damaged.
Note: Point to where you want the tissue regenerated and use your wand like a paintbrush.

Crucio (Cruciatus Curse)

Imperio (Imperius Curse)

Color: Green
Effect: Immediately kills the victim with no signs of physical effect.
THE UNFORGIVABLE CURSES ARE BANNED!

Additions
Additions made to the Spells List on December 23, 2014 @ 6PM US EST:
1. Color of the spell, pronunciation, and counterspell (if available) were added. Pronunciations may not be exact; they are just there to help you.
2. Some spells might have been moved to the Jinxes/Hexes/Curses section since that's where they belong, and vice versa. One example is "Reducto," which was listed as a spell; thus, it was moved to Curses because it is called "the Reductor Curse." No spells were deleted.
3. "Spongify" was added to 1st year spells. This spell is listed in "Grade 1" on Pottermore.
4. Only two spells had a year change.
-- "Periculum" (conjures red sparks) was moved from 4th year to 3rd year to match up with "Viriculum" (conjures green sparks).
-- "Recorlevis" was moved from 6th year to Special Case spells because it is a Memory Charm. An alternative incantation for it was also added.
5. "Titillando," the Tickling Hex, was added to 2nd year to match up with "Rictusempra."
6. The Memory Charms created by Prof. Alden Harrington were added to the list for ease of access.
7. Some spells used in DADA curriculum were added; see the credits above.
