Arthur and Vivian under the influence of a Love Spell.
A Love Spell is an enchantment which can make two people to fall in love for each other. According to Merlin, there are over 636 love spells and over 150 of them involve a lock of hair (Sweet Dreams).
The known Love Spells that have been used are:
- Túce hwón frec ðu, Arthur. Þec feoh nom gyse. Cume morðor rice ær. Túce hwón frec ðu, Arthur, used by Sophia of Tír-Mòr. The Sidhe Aulfric convinced his daughter to enchant Arthur Pendragon so that they might sacrifice him to the Sidhe, who required the soul of a mortal prince, and return to Avalon, the land of eternal youth, from where they were exiled. Sophia took advantage of Arthur's affection for her and cast this love spell on him, so that he would become her willing slave. Sophia's and Arthur's eyes glowed red while she was chanting the spell. Sophia was forced to repeat the spell many times because Arthur's will was too strong to dominate. It seemed that the spell stopped working after Sophia's death (The Gates of Avalon).
- Ic nemne þá grædige, yfele, formolsnung. Cume lǽn and mé getryme! Nu meaht þú begalan. Nu meaht þú begalan, performed by the troll Catrina to enchant a necklace, pouring over it a few drops of her green blood. She gave it to Uther Pendragon and it made him fall in love with her (Beauty and the Beast: Part One).
- Ales, læfe he híe þonne he áwæcaþ. Biþ his hyht þæt he her seón mote ána oftíe þonne ealle mán. King Alined and his assistant, Trickler, used a love enchantment to make Arthur Pendragon and Lady Vivian fall in love. Alined knew that Vivian's father was extremely protective of his daughter and hoped that when Olaf found out that Vivian and Arthur were together, a war would break. Trickler took a lock of Arthur's hair and a lock of Vivian's hair and created a potion that made them fall in love (Sweet Dreams).
- Héo hæfþ þín heorte, chanted by Trickler when he put eyedrops in Arthur's eyes. The only way to break the spell was that the victim's true love will kiss him (Sweet Dreams).
- Abuge áglǽccræft. Abuge áglǽccræft. Abuge áglǽccræft, used by Merlin when he tried to break Trickler's spell, but it was too powerful for him (Sweet Dreams).
- According to Gaius, the poultice Morgana planted under Arthur's pillow could have been used to cast a Love Spell. Uther thought that Gwen had used it to enchant the Prince (Queen of Hearts).
- Beclyppe þinne idese þæt heo hine lyste, used by Morgana, High Priestess of the Old Religion, to enchant a silver bracelet that Sir Lancelot gave to Gwen. The spell awoke Gwen's old feelings for Lancelot and forced her to fall under the knight's charm. The enchantment was broken when Guinevere, in her grief, cast it away (Lancelot Du Lac).
