【攻击系】 Reducto

 

"With this powerful curse, skilled wizards can easily reduce obstacles to pieces. For obvious reasons great care must be exercised when learning and practising this spell, lest you find yourself sweeping up in detention for it is all too easy to bring your classroom ceiling crashing down, or to reduce your teacher's desk to a fine mist."

—Miranda Goshawk

      后面的ducere "bring, lead"带领之意，duke公爵一词由此衍生。

     前缀 re-, red-, again, back. 这是一个使用非常频繁的前缀。
