Spells are complex things: they have particular affinities to different people, different wands, different types of magic—Ollivander mentions that Lily’s wand was “excellent for charm work” (presumably Voldemort’s was excellent for nasty work), for example. So why wouldn’t a particular spell also have a special affinity to a particular incantation? | |
