Well, maybe this wizard, as well as that charm was only Lockhart's 
imagination's product to make his book more interesting. He tells 
Harry and Ron about stealing other peoples' memories and presents 
them as his own, so you have to agree we can call him a liar. Perhaps 
he made that spell up, especially when you suggest that only this 
particular wizard could perform that particular magic.
