An Wand-Extinguishing Charm

The Wand-Extinguishing Charm (Nox) was a charm that caused the light at the end of the caster's wand to be extinguished, thus acting as the counter-charm to the Wand-Lighting Charm (Lumos).
==History==
The Wand-Extinguishing Charm was invented by the same witch who invented the Wand-Lighting Charm, Levina Monkstanley. She invented the Wand-Lighting charm in the 18th century and invented the Wand-Extinguishing Charm around that time too, otherwise her wand would remain lighted indefinitely.
This spell was taught to first-year students in Charms class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1984–1985 school year by Professor Filius Flitwick. It was also detailed in The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Protection and Book of Spells. - see this video

==Etymology==
In Latin, "nox" means "night". Nox is also the name of the Roman Goddess of night derived from Nyx (Greek goddess of darkness and night).
==Behind the scenes==
*In most of the video games, the Wand-Lighting Charm is extinguished by itself after some time, not requiring this spell.
*On any Android phone (on Lollipop or better), if a user types Nox in the search bar on the Google app, the torch will turn off. Respectively, Lumos turns it on. On IPhones, Siri can do the same.
