LouAnn raised her hand, not really knowing just yet what she'd say. Charms had always been a strong point of her's. Not necessarily her strongest point, but not her weakest either. "If we're really good at non-verbal spells, the effect of the spell is still the same whether we spoke the incantation out loud or not. I think with a non-verbal spell we may even have to concentrate more, so they may be even more powerful," she said.

"Non-verbal spells can be useful when you're unable to speak, like when you've been hit by a Babbling Curse or Langlock. Both of those spells are used to keep a person from casting a spell, but if that person is skilled in non-verbals, he or she can cast anyway," she continued.
