Just a note: the spell cast on the wand in the woods to reveal the 
spells it had cast was NOT exactly the same thing as the Priori 
Incantatem effect. The first one is Prior Incantato, a spell which is 
cast. When wands which are "brothers" fight each other, the result is 
not a spell cast but an "effect," called Priori Incantatem. This 
effect would NOT be reversable by a simple spell, since it's not a 
spell itself.
