"And saying the magic words properly is very important, too — never forget Wizard Baruffio, who said 's' instead of 'f' and found himself on the floor with a buffalo on his chest."
Filius Flitwick on the importance of incantations[src]

This spell (incantation unknown) was unintentionally used by the wizard Baruffio sometime before 1991 when he mispronounced the letter "f" as "s" while reciting the incantation for another spell and ended up with a buffalo on his chest.[1] He also accidentally used the same spell to conjure a buffalo instead of a mink onto his wife's shoulders.[2]
