==Effect==

==Deboning spells==
 
*[[Brackium Emendo]]
*Given Lockhart's nature, the true effect of this spell is unknown; whilst it removed the bones in Harry's body, it is possible that this is its intended effect (to remove bones). It may also be the case that this spell normally repairs bones but was performed incorrectly and the bones removal was the resultant backfire. Given the etymology of the spell, either possibility is equally likely.

*[[Ossio Dispersimus]]
 
==History of use==
 
*The only known attempt was by [[Gilderoy Lockhart]] on [[Harry Potter]]'s arm in [[1992]] after being hit by [[Dobby's Bludger|a tampered Bludger]], in the hope of healing the bones.
 
 
==Etymology==
 
"''Brackium''" coming from the Latin "Bracchium", meaning forearm. "''Emendo''", coming from the Latin, could mean to free of faults/to correct, but also to erase or to remove. The Danish translation of the spell is "''Brækjern Emendo''". A brækjern is a crowbar.
 
 
==Behind the scenes==
 
*It is also unknown if this spell existed prior to its usage or if Gilderoy simply made it up on the fly.
