From Quiz Name That Spell 2

Answer: Aguamenti

Aguamenti is used first (by incantation) in "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" because this is when Professor Flitwick taught it to the Charms class.

Aparecium makes invisible ink appear, Glisseo causes a staircase to flatten and form a slide and Aquanium was made up by me, the word aqua implying that water is involved.

Stupefy knocks out your opponent, Accio brings an object to you and Lumos lights up the area around you using your wand tip.
