conjurations
Spells that summon
Conjurations are acts of summoning or invoking, especially through magic or solemn appeal.
A sorcerer's conjurations might call forth spirits or demons.
The word also covers earnest entreaties—desperate pleas that carry the weight of an oath: His conjurations failed to move her.
In stage magic, conjurations are the tricks themselves, the illusions performed.
