countercurses
Magic-undoing incantations
Countercurses are curses intended to neutralize or reverse other curses.
The term belongs primarily to fantasy fiction and folklore, where magic users defend against hostile spells by casting opposing ones: She muttered a countercurse to break the hex.
In gaming and fiction inspired by works like Harry Potter, countercurses are standard defensive magic.
