Spells

A spell is an act of magic that can cause a change in the fabric of reality to varying extents. Spells are usually cast by speaking a series of words, called an incantation. Spells are probably the most important and basic aspect of magic. They are used to direct a sorcerer's variable and primitive power towards the object of the magical ritual. Most sorcerers absolutely need spells to use their magic, but there are some gifted sorcerers who can incant spells within their mind rather than with their spoken voices, and some even more highly-gifted warlocks and witches who can bend the magical forces to their will without incantation. The incantations or verses of spells utilise the language of the Old Religion, taught by a sorcerer to his apprentice or written in spell books or grimoires. Most spells in Merlin are in the language of Old English, though not all pronunciations seem completely accurate. Dragonlord magic, however, utilises Homeric Greek, and Sidhe magic Old Irish. A sorcerer in training has to gain confidence and fluency with the language of a spell to fully utilize his magic.

Spells that have similar effects can be grouped into a precise category. The main ones are:


 * Enchantments
 * Elemental spells

 * Locking/unlocking spells
 * Animation spells
 * Love spells
 * Glamours
 * Ageing spells

Trivia

 * The spells used in Merlin are generally in Old English. The spells are written by the scripts' writers in English and then given to be translated into Old English.


 * These are the two sites that have been used to translate the spells and find their correct spelling: http://www.oldenglishtranslator.co.uk http://archive.is/20120527080316/home.comcast.net/~modean52/oeme_dictionaries.htm


 * The Dragonlords' spells are in a form of Ancient Greek called Homeric Greek, while the Sidhe and pixies' spells from "The Gates of Avalon" and "The Changeling" are in Old Irish and written in Ogham. The Dragonlords' spells have been partially translated, but, because the editors aren't experts, it is possible that they are incorrect. The translation (decided by the script's writers and then translated into Old Irish) for the Sidhe and pixies' spells used in the episode "The Changeling" has also been found.
 * Interestingly, "The Hollow Queen" (S5Ep8) and "The Drawing of the Dark" (S5Ep11) are the only episodes in which no verbal spells are chanted.
