Harry Potter

Successfull casting of a charm is achieved through concentration, precise wand movements, and the proper pronunciation of an incantation.

Wenn a charm is casted poorly it will fail and the caste runs the risk of it backfiring.

An incantation is the word or words spoken to invoke a spell. Spells can be cast non-verbally but the incantation still needs to be said in the head of the spellcaster. Most known incantations derive from the Latin language. Only few are English.
