"Dumbledore flicked his own wand: the force of the spell that emanated from it was such that Harry, though shielded by his golden guard, felt his hair stand on end as it passed and this time Voldemort was forced to conjure a shining silver shield out of thin air to deflect it. This spell, whatever it was, caused no visible damage to the shield, though a deep, gong-like note reverberated from it-an oddly chilling sound."

— Description of the spell^[src]

This spell was used by Dumbledore in the British Ministry of Magic during the Battle of the Department of Mysteries on 18 June 1996, when he was duelling Lord Voldemort.^[1]

History[]

This spell was told to be very powerful since when Dumbledore cast it, Voldemort was forced to conjure a silver shield to deflect it. When the spell hit the shield, 'a deep, gong-like note reverberated from it - an oddly chilling sound'. Although the spell was powerful, it did not cause any visible damage to the shield, proving that the shield's power was at least equal to that of Dumbledore's spell. This spell seemd not fatal, as after it was cast Voldemort taunted Dumbledore over his reluctance to kill him.^[1]
