Ack! You're right. It's "a" in the verbal form, but "i" in the nominal. 
Though in my defense, JKR uses the nominal form only sparingly (by my 
count, the verb occurs sixty one times in books 1-5, vs. only five 
nominals, one of which has nothing to do with the spell), making it hard 
to spot.

Guess next time I take it upon myself to correct someone else, I should 
get my "i"s checked first.

P.S. Hey, all you Thunderbird experts: I've changed my attribution line 
several times, but Thunderbird keeps changing it back. Anyone know where 
the setting is?
