The Legilimency Spell (Le-JIL-ih-mens (IPA: [lɛ.'dʒɪl.ɪ.ˌmɛnz])) allows the caster to perform Legilimency. In other words, to delve into the mind of the victim, permitting the caster to see memories, emotions and thoughts. Skilled Legilimens, such as Lord Voldemort, are able to perform Legilimency without using the incantation or a wand.

Used by Professor Snape on Harry Potter while attempting to train him in Occlumency in the 1995–1996 school year. Snape also used it nonverbally in 1997 to find out where Harry learned the Sectumsempra spell.

Etymology

Latin legere, "to read", and mens, "mind".
