Hot Air Charm

The hot air charm is an unnamed spell which fires off a jet of hot air from the end of the caster’s wand. Casting the spell involves a complicated wand motion (OP21).

“She pulled out her wand and gave it a complicated little wave so that hot air streamed out of the tip; she then pointed this at her robes, which began to steam as they dried out.”
