Orbis is a jinx used to suck the target into the ground. It can only be used if an ally is levitating the target whilst the spell is being cast.[1]
Effects
This spell is technically a type of earth magic, as it is used to suck the victim into the ground and hence burrows up a small amount of dirt with it; this is, indeed, the definition of earth magic. It encases the target in an orb and drags them into the earth.[1]
Physical appearance
The spell appears as an azure whirlwind which encases the levitated target, wrapping around them and shooting off blue sparks.[1]
Hogwarts
It is probable[3] that Professor Lupin taught his third year defence class this spell[4] in the year a prisoner escaped from azkaban.

- ↑ If Wingardium Leviosa is yellow, then this must be the only other spell, the blue one.
- ↑ Professor Quirrell taught the Knockback Jinx and Curse of the Bogies, and Professor Lockhart taught the Tongue-Tying Curse, so it isn't entirely impossible that dark charms such as these are taught then.
- ↑ They seem to know this spell in the summer between their third and fourth years, and as it is a jinx it is highly unlikely Professor Flitwick taught it.
