The effects of the Cushioning Charm on a broomstick (invisible).

The Cushioning Charm (Spongify) creates an unseen softening effect on sitting and landing surfaces. It is primarily used in broomstick manufacturing to make the brooms more comfortable for riders. This charm was invented by Elliot Smethwyck in 1820.
