Spell



A spell is a series of words that when said in a certain order cause changes in the fabric of reality to carying extent. It is a ritual intended to produce a magical effect. In order to be effective, it must be performed by a magical being; a spell recited by a mortal will not work. The act of performing a spell ritual is known as "casting the spell". Witches traditionally record their spells in their Book of Shadows, both for their own reference, and to preserve them for posterity.

Spell Casting
Spell Casting is the magical ability to cast spells. Spell casting is one of the three basic powers that all magical witches have as well as Scrying & Potion making.

Some spells require more than one witch to make them work in order to increase the amount of magic and therefore potential power available for the spell. For example, the spell to vaquish the first Warlock Jeremy Burns, is a "power of three" spell.

In season two it is revealed that by reading a spell backwards correctly, one can reverse the effects. For example, the spell to vanquish the Woogyman will instead summon it when said backwards. The spell to invoke a witches powers will rebind them if read backwards.
