'''''Incarcerous''''' causes ropes to appear out of the end of the caster's wand, which then bind and (usually) gag the subject of the spell.

When we first see this spell, it is being used by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Severus Snape|Professor Snape]] to bind [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sirius Black|Sirius Black]] and [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Remus Lupin|Remus Lupin]] in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Shrieking Shack|The Shrieking Shack]]. It is used a number of times after that, notably by [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Dolores Umbridge|Professor Umbridge]], to bind the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Centaur|Centaur]] [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Magorian|Magorian]], an action that triggers a mass attack on her by the remainder of the herd.

 

 

'''Branch of Magic''': ''Incarcerous'' is difficult to categorize into one branch of magic due to its dual function. Most prominently, it is a transfiguration spell—conjuring to be specific. It also could be considered a charm as it is giving the ropes the ability to attack a specified target and bind to it without further magic being performed.

'''Etymology''': ''Incarcerous'' comes from the Latin word "carcerate" meaning prison or cage. Since the incantation causes ropes to be expelled from the casters wand and bound tightly around the intended target, this makes sense since it is detaining the victim, much like a prison or cage.
