STUPEFY

The stunning spell. A highly useful defensive or offensive spell, it is not always effective on all creatures (such as dragons). Historians have traced the spell back to one of the great pioneers of modern magic, the Greek witch Lucilla Adastra.

Old French: "stupefier" - "to dull the senses" "to make stupid"
Latin: "stupefacere" - "stupere" meaning "to be stunned" + "facere" meaning "to make"
