The Echo-detection Charm (incantation unknown) was a charm used to release waves of force that rebounded to the caster when hitting a target.[1]
History[]
In the 1920s, Newton Scamander used this spell to aid him in searching for his missing magical beasts. He used the spell to send out ripples of magical force that would rebound back to him when he found one of the creatures. He would follow the origin of the rebounded force until he was able to locate the creature in question.[1]
