======Meteolojinx Recanto======
=====Spell Information=====
  * **Incantation:** Meteolojinx Recanto
  * **Pronunciation:** //mee-tee-OH-loh-jinks reh-CAN-toh//
  * **Wand Movement:** Unknown
  * **Light:** Unknown
  * **Effect:** A [[counter-spell]] designed to stop or reverse atmospheric [[charms]] and jinxes, particularly those that create indoor weather phenomena like rain.
  * **Type:** [[Counter-Spell]], [[Charm]]
=====History and Known Uses=====
The only known mention of this [[spell]] occurs during the [[Second Wizarding War]] in 1997. After [[Lord Voldemort]]'s takeover of the [[Ministry of Magic]], an unknown individual placed a powerful [[jinx]] on the office of [[Corban Yaxley]], the Head of the [[Department of Magical Law Enforcement]]. This [[jinx]] caused it to rain continuously inside the office.
While [[Harry Potter]] and [[Hermione Granger]] infiltrated the [[Ministry]], [[Ron Weasley]] was disguised as [[Reg Cattermole]], a [[Ministry]] employee. He was tasked by [[Yaxley]] with stopping the rain. He later encountered [[Arthur Weasley]], who was discussing the problem. [[Arthur Weasley]] identified //Meteolojinx Recanto// as the proper [[counter-spell]] for such a situation but noted that his attempts to cast it had failed. He concluded that the original [[jinx]] must be exceptionally powerful to resist this specific counter-enchantment.
=====Learning and Counter-Spells=====
//Meteolojinx Recanto// is itself the counter-spell for weather-related jinxes. Its inclusion in the conversation between [[Arthur Weasley]] and [[Ron Weasley]] (as [[Reg Cattermole]]) suggests it is the standard and commonly known method for dealing with such [[magic]].
However, its effectiveness is not absolute. The failure of a competent [[wizard]] like [[Arthur Weasley]] to stop the rain in [[Corban Yaxley]]'s office demonstrates that the spell can be overpowered by a sufficiently strong originating [[jinx]] or by additional protective enchantments. This implies that while the [[spell]] is the correct one to use, the caster's skill and the power of the original [[jinx]] are critical factors in its success.
=====Etymology=====
The incantation is a composite of Latin and English terms:
  * **Meteo:** Derived from the Ancient Greek //meteōros// (μετέωρος), meaning 'high in the air' or 'heavenly'. This is the root of the word //meteorology//, the study of weather and the atmosphere.
  * **Jinx:** An English word referring to a type of dark [[magic]] that causes bad luck or minor harm.
  * **Recanto:** A Latin verb meaning 'I recall', 'I retract', 'I take back', or 'I disenchant'.
When combined, the incantation's intent can be translated literally as "I take back the weather jinx" or "I disenchant the weather jinx."
=====Behind the Scenes=====
This [[spell]] is mentioned only in the novel //[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows]]//. The scene involving the rain in [[Corban Yaxley]]'s office and the discussion of this [[counter-spell]] was not included in the film adaptation, //[[Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1]]// (film).
