he Dancing Feet Spell (Tarantallegra) is a charm  used to force another person's legs to begin dancing uncontrollably. The spell requires a clear, unobstructed view of the target to be successfully cast.

Casting and Effects

It should be noted that although this spell requires the target to have legs (animate or inanimate) it can also provoke a reaction out of legless targets (for example, it is known to have caused Mt. Vesuvius to erupt).

Variations of use

  • It is mainly used to make a victim do something hilarious, but it can be also be used in dueling.

Etymology

The Tarantella is a dance originating in Italy. It was believed to cure the effects of the bite of a Tarantula by causing the victim to sweat out the toxin. It wasn't until centuries later that scientists determined the Black Widow was actually the venomous spider in question; people merely blamed the Tarantula because of its size. Allegra may be derived from allegro, a musical tempo meaning "quick and lively"; or simply from the word "leg" as this is the only body part affected by the jinx.

OOC Dice Information

The Dancing Feet spell requires a player to be level 9 or higher.
