countercharm

Nullifies magical curse

A countercharm is a charm, spell, or magical practice intended to neutralize or reverse the effects of another charm or enchantment.

The term appears primarily in fantasy literature and folklore, where characters deploy countercharms to break curses or undo hexes cast by adversaries.

The witch muttered a countercharm to lift the enchantment from the village.
