The **Water-Making Spell**, also known as the **Aguamenti Charm** (*Aguamenti*) was a charm that conjured a jet of clean, drinkable water from the tip of the caster's wand. This spell, in addition to being a charm, could also be classified as conjuration, an advanced form of Transfiguration.

## Water-Making Spell

### Incantation

*Aguamenti*
(AH-gwah-MEN-tee)

### Type

* Charm
* Conjuration

## History

It is unknown when this charm was invented. The wand movement for this spell was a smooth wave movement from right to left. The Water-Making spell also appeared to be the opposite of the Fire-Making Spell, which was used to conjure flames instead.
This spell was taught at ***N.E.W.T.***-level in Charms class at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, to ***sixth-years***. It is also possible that this charm was found in the ***The Standard Book of Spells*** series by ***Miranda Goshawk***.

## Effects

Depending on the caster's concentration and intentions, this charm can be anything from a simple jet of water to a wave. It was taught to ***sixth year*** students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in Charms class. The spell's incantation was *Aguamenti*.
This spell was useless against ***Fiendfyre***, a spell that conjured cursed flames, as the water conjured from this spell would instantly evaporate on contact with the dark fire.

## Known uses

> A jet of water flew out of the umbrella tip. Harry raised his wand arm, which felt like lead, and murmured *Aguamenti* too: Together, he and Hagrid poured water on the house until the last flame was extinguished.
>
> Hagrid and Harry Potter using the spell to extinguish's Hagrid's burning hut, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

## Etymology

In both Spanish and Portuguese, "*agua*"/"*água*" means "water" and "*mente*" (also in both Italian and Portuguese) means "mind"; these derive from the Latin terms "*aqua*" ("water") and "*mens*" ("mind"), the latter's singular dative case rendered as "*menti*" ("to the mind" or "for the mind"). Given ***J. K. Rowling***'s love of puns, it would also seem plausible that there might have been a hybrid of "*água*" and "augment", in the sense of "increase", in her mind.

## Behind the scenes

* In *Harry-Potter and The Deathly Hallows, An Part 002*, unlike in the book, *Aguamenti* appears as what looks like a shield of water instead of a jet. Furthermore, unlike in the book, the charm does not evaporate on contact with ***Fiendfyre***.
