OOC: Spells
Anti-Apparition (Anti-Disapparition Jinx)
Prevents someone from Apparating. (Apparating: Advanced spell used by fully trained witches and wizards to disappear from one place and appear almost instantly somewhere else. A person who uses this spell is referred to as an Apparator.)
--Used: Placed around the entire building and surrounding ground.
Caterwauling Charm
When an unauthorized person enters the target area while the effect is running, a caterwauling noise will be set off.
--Used: Same area as Anti-Apparition.
Cave Inimicum
Defensive spell to keep enemies away.
--Used: "Enemies" in this case are those who have not been specifically included in the spell.
Disillusionment Charm
A charm which hides the true, magical nature of something.
--Used: Merely used to hide the magic used on the prison so it looks completely normal.

Keeps non-magic users away from the target place or object.
