======Log-Burning Spell====== =====Spell Information===== * **Incantation:** Unknown (The name is descriptive) * **Pronunciation:** Not applicable * **Wand Movement:** Unknown * **Light:** Assumed to be red, orange, or yellow, consistent with fire * **Effect:** Sets a log on fire * **Type:** [[Charm]] =====History and Known Uses===== The Log-Burning Spell is not mentioned in the original seven [[Harry Potter]] novels and has no known uses within the primary canon. Its name and function are derived exclusively from supplementary materials. The spell's purpose is entirely practical and mundane: to light a fire. It is functionally similar to other fire-making spells like [[Incendio]] or the [[Bluebell Flames]] [[charm]], but is specifically designated for lighting logs. The flavor text on its trading card suggests it is "//Useful on a cold winter's night//", reinforcing its role as a simple, domestic [[magic]]. =====Learning and Counter-Spells===== The difficulty of learning this spell is unknown. However, given its simple and specific effect, it is likely a basic [[charm]] that could be mastered by young students at [[Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry]]. A standard Water-Making Spell, such as [[Aguamenti]], or a general Extinguishing [[Charm]] would presumably be effective counters. =====Etymology===== The name "Log-Burning Spell" is purely descriptive English, directly stating the spell's effect. It does not have a known Latin-based incantation that can be analyzed. =====Behind the Scenes===== The Log-Burning Spell is an invention for the //Harry Potter Trading Card Game//, originally published by [[Wizards of the Coast]]. In the game, it is a Spell card that allows the player to take two Fire Energy cards from their discard pile and put them into their hand. (//Harry Potter Trading Card Game//)
