Shows the last spell any wand performed |
Prior Incantato is a spell that, if pointed at a wand, can show the last spell performed. It was used by Amos Diggory to learn whose wand had been used to cast the Dark Mark at the 1994 Quidditch World Cup.
The Prior Incanto spell could be confused with the Priori Incantatem effect that can be triggered by wands sharing a common core that are forced to Duel with each other, but which also can be induced with analytical Spells.
