Basic Level Spells

This is a list of all the basic spells. These are all taken from the books or the movies. Everyone can use these spells.

Spells are divided into charms, enchantments, dueling spells, curses, hexes and jinxes. There is also Transfiguration, which is mainly nonverbal.
Magical potential determines how well you can use a spell, the better your magical potential, the stronger the spell. As these are basic spells, they can be blocked easily with a simple shield charm. Basic charms are basically spells that can help with everyday stuff.

In roleplay, you do not need to voice the spells, as everyone can do nonverbal spells. You do however, need to know the limits of spells that you can use, and understand what you can do with some spells, and what you can't. In dueling however, you should pronounce every single spell you use, even if it is nonverbal it should be in italics.

Though anyone can use these spells, a graduate can use them to better effect than a 1st year student. For example A year 1 student can use wingardium leviosa to levitate a pot or book, while a graduate can levitate a tree.

CHARMS AND ENCHANTMENTS
This is a list of useful charms. Only useful ones though, I'm not gonna list them all, for now at least. There are too many. Check Wikipedia for a full list, but be mindful of what you can use and what you can't at basic level.

Accio (basic level)
Summons a SINGLE object towards you. Limit: Nothing heavier or larger than a broomstick. Max distance is about 50-100 meters.

Aguamenti (basic level)
Creates water. Limit: amount of water cannot be more than a gallon.

Alohomora
Unlocks doors. Some locks are magically enchanted so that this does not work.

Bluebell flames
is a charm which produces fire. These special flames are bright blue in colour and do not cause the damage of normal fire; surfaces it comes in contact with are not affected. These flames can be scooped up in the hand and carried around, or put in a jar. This suggests that the flames do not need fuel or oxygen, but they still expell heat and light.

Engorgio and Reducio (basic level)
Makes an object, or creature, increase size or decrease in size. Does not work on humans, large objects and large creatures (your not gonna be reducing the size of dragons for example)

Episkey (basic level)
Heals cuts and bruises. Only minor ones.

Expecto Patronum (basic level)
A spell that creates a guardian that is formed by the casters most innermost feelings. LIMIT: Expecto Patronum is considered a *good* spell, and therefore many Death Eaters are unable to use it.

TRANSFIGURATION

Verto - Switching Charm (basic level)
This makes one object into a different object. Limit: It has to be roughly the same size. For example, you cant switch a book into a tree. Also, you can't use this on anythin bigger than a book.

Conjuring (basic level)
Conjuring means creating an object out of thin air. Limit: You cannot create life, food, memories, knowledge (books, etc) or things you do not know how to create. Also, you can't make big objects, nothing bigger than a book.

Vanishing doesn't mean make invisible, it means getting rid of something completely, like it just dissapears. Limit: You can't vanish anything which is living. You can't vanish big objects.

Thank you Darren for the list now i know what spells my robes can block.

Will Bluebell fire be included in this? It seems different from normal fire, as it's blue.

(But really...it can be bottled, I think. Which means it burns without air.)

^interesting, I didn't really find that on the spell list I was looking at, but as its used in the series, I'll add it.

Found the Harry Potter Wiki page on Bluebell fire:

Bluebell flames is a charm which produces fire. These special flames are bright blue in colour and do not cause the damage of normal fire; surfaces it comes in contact with are not affected. These flames can be scooped up in the hand and carried around, or put in a jar. This suggests that the flames do not need fuel or oxygen, but they still expell heat and light. Hermione Granger is noted to be particularly skilled with this charm

What a lovely little description..
