Dementia or Dementio?

I've been playing this game for about two weeks now, and I love the way the game is set up, the quests, the hunter that gives you bounties to complete, the automated classes, and the people have been nice. Today, Tuesday May 19th, 2015 I attended Professor Sara Whoops, COMC class and she was teaching the spell, Dementia. It dawned on me that the name sounded familiar and the spell used to summon a dementor is a medical term for an illness dealing with memory loss:

Dementia is a general term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Memory loss is an example. Alzheimer's is the most common type of dementia.

Just a small suggestion, that would be easy to correct, and it merely means changing the last letter from an "a" to an "o" that way it's looks more like it belongs with Dementor, and a spell to summon one. 

If you wish to keep it the same, I understand since I'm sure it's been that way for a long time and would be stupid to change now.

If there's no actual harry potter canon about that spell I don't mind renaming it.

This has always bothered me! "Dementio" sounds alright. Perhaps "Dementos" or "Dementhis" could also work.

Dementos, though that one sounds alright, comes into play the "mentos" commercial, and I think people would crack up with laughter, the other choice, if it was dementhos would probably work.  I don't think there was ever a spell to actually summon a dementor in the books. When the prison was built, no muggle or wizard knew it existed until a dark wizard who lived there died and the protection charms vanished, revealing the building. When the Ministry went to investigate, they found it enhabitated by the Dementors, and they were protective of their home, so they allowed them to remain.
