Glacius is a freezing charm used to put out fires and create ice blocks. The spell is described as a "charm that conjures a blast of freezing cold air from the end of the wand"[1]. The air is so cold it can freeze several inches of water solid within seconds, making it solid enough for at least an average-sized thirteen-year-old to walk across.
Etymology
From obsolete French glacieux, from Latin glaciēs (“ice”). It could also be from Latin glaciās, meaning "you freeze".
