- "Among those who claimed to have invented this revolutionary spell was the German warlock Garvin Lügner, who insisted that he had invented it as a side-effect of his discovery of Instant Darkness Powder."
- — Miranda Goshawk, Book of Spells[src]
Garvin Lügner (fl. 18th century) was a German warlock who invented the Instant Darkness Powder, presumably intended as a variant of Peruvian Instant Darkness Powder. However, unlike the true substance, which provides absolute darkness, Garvin's powder merely slightly dimmed the lights.[1]
However, this did not discourage Garvin from falsely claiming he had invented the Wand-Lighting Charm, Lumos, to remedy the effects of his powder. The Wand-Lighting Charm was actually invented in 1772, by Levina Monkstanley, a British witch.[1]
