Part 1: Introduction - the Components of a Spell and Basic Wand Movements
What are 'Charms'?
“A charm is a spell, or enchantment, or an incantation.It gives something or someone properties that it would not under ordinary circumstances have.” -Ivory Erised, Ravenclaw (Ivy Nienna)
"Charms are distinguished from other types of magic in that a charm adds or changes properties of an object. It focuses on altering what the object does as opposed to what the object is." - Marilyn Force, Slytherin (Miss Marilyn)
"A charm changes the properties of an object. It alters what the object does. For example when using a levitation charm, it causes an object to hover in the air." - Mia Gibbins, Hufflepuff (aussiegirl)
“A charm, by definition, is a spell that does not change the inherit properties of the object it is being cast on. Instead, it enhances the object to behave or look in a manner that it wouldn’t normally. An example of this is the color changing spell. It may turn something an entirely different color, say a purple apple, but the apple is still an apple and will taste like one when you bit into it." - Kurumi Hollingberry, Gryffindor (sweetpinkpixie)

What is an alloy?
"Alloys are metals mixed in that allows an increase in strength and resistance." - Kimalia Fanster, Slytherin (Kimalia)
"Alloys are generally homogeneous mixture or solid solutions made up of two or more elements. The atoms of one alloy replacing or occupying the small spaces or interstitial positions between the atoms of another. Therefore binding together. The metal brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. My favorite alloy is that of Meteoric Iron - which is a naturally occuring alloy of nickle and zinc." - India Johanson, Ravenclaw (McFeisty)
"An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals, a good example of an alloy is something such as stainless steel." - Sam Beam, Ravenclaw (Zekk)
"Alloy is a metal that is made by mixing two or more types of metal together. Sometimes we can combine metals with non-metals depending on the outcome we want. The process differs according to the made-up substances' properties. The final outcome, however, usually has a different properties of those that it is combined of." - Louisa Carter, Ravenclaw (Magical Soul)
"An alloy is a mixture of two or more elements. A metal alloy is made to take one metal and enhance it by adding another element to it. Like steel is stronger than iron, which is the base element of that mixture." - Harlow Riddle, Slytherin (Tommehbell)
"An alloy is a solution made by combining two or more metallic or non metallic elements and fusing them together or dissolving into each other while molten. The aim is to have a final end product that is generally less brittle, harder, resistant to corrosion, or have a more desirable color and luster. Like for example the alloys in bronze is copper and tin". - Alyssa Potter, Hufflepuff (kaseyus)
"An alloy is the result of the melting of two or more metals together. For example statues can be considered alloys because usually bronze and copper and mixed together to create one." - Kennedy Escalante (Bubbles)
"An Alloy is a metal compound. It is a mixture of two or more metals, and is done because an alloy is stronger than the base metal. Sterling Silver is one example of an alloy. It is mostly Silver with like 8 percent copper." - Emmaleigh Swynford, Hufflepuff (Yourenodaisy)
"It is a mixture of two or more elements, and at least one of them must be a metal," - Nora Reed, Slytherin (nogoodforyou)
"An alloy is a mixture of 2 or more metals or non-metals mixed in specific ratios. The properties of the alloys depend on the ratio of the ingredients used." - Ira Wilson, Gryffindor (nups21)
------------------
What do we know about Silver?
------------------
Incantation component: meaning "pronunciation"
argentum: silver “ar-gent-um”
frigidus: cold “Frigid-us”
siccus: dry “Sik-us”
calidus: warm, hot “Ca- lid- us”
humidus: damp, humid “Humid-us”
Argentum Frigidus - swish and tap
Argentum Calidus - swish and tap
Argentum Siccus - twirl and point
Argentum Humidus - twirl and point
As you say the incantation the two seperate movements match the two seperate parts of the incantation.
----------------------------
Excolo: L. polish, adorn, refine and serve "Ex-CO-lo"
The wand movement is a pointing movement except you need to move your wand and trace where you wish the spell to have effect
