Extraordinary Legilimency Spell

The Legilimency Spell (Legilimens) was a charm that allowed the caster to perform Legilimency; in other words, to delve into the mind of the victim, permitting the caster to see memories, emotions and thoughts.Skilled Legilimens (such as Tom Riddle) was able to perform Legilimency without using the incantation or a wand. Highly skilled Legilimens were able to control their victims and create realistic visions.
==History==
During the 1989–1990 school year, Professor Severus Snape performed this spell on Beatrice Haywood in the Potions Classroom to help navigate and understand her thoughts and emotions.In the 1990–1991 school year at St Mungo's, Jacob's sibling used this spell to perform Legilimency on Zenith Xeep in the Janus Thickey Ward, so they could read her mind to see who was behind the curses at St Mungo's. Reading her thoughts, she learnt she was thinking about a Dark wizard called Burke.Professor Snape used this spell on Harry Potter while attempting to train him in Occlumency in the 1995–1996 school year. He also used it nonverbally and wandlessly in 1997 to find out where Harry learned the Sectumsempra spell.Voldemort had used this spell extensively, both wandlessly and nonverbally, to enter the minds of those he wished to interrogate. Due to the link between himself and Harry, both could access each other's thoughts if Voldemort did not block it with Occlumency.

==Behind the scenes==
*As Bellatrix Lestrange taught her nephew Draco Malfoy Occlumency, it is likely she also used this spell to achieve the same method as Snape did Harry.
*In , the Focus Charm is used in the place of "Legilimens". It is unknown why this change was made, as they both have the same effect. However Focus is only used to clear the mind. In the film Snape says that Harry has to clear his mind. It is possible that in LEGO, this spell was used before Legilimens.
*It is unknown whether there was an Occlumency-based spell, as opposed to this spell.
