This spell (incantation unknown) is a curse used to petrify an opponent in duels. The body of the one hit is immobilised and turns gaunt and pale, akin to stone.

Behind of scenes

• This spell only makes an appearance in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, in which Molly Weasley uses it along with a disintegration curse to kill Bellatrix Lestrange. In the novel, Bellatrix is hit by a curse squarely in the chest, her eyes bulge and her body topples lifelessly to the ground instead.
• This spell and Duro may be the same spell.
