magical spells
Wizard's spoken commands
Magical spells are words, phrases, or rituals believed to produce supernatural effects—curses, charms, enchantments, hexes.
The term assumes that specific formulas, properly performed, can bend reality: The witch cast a spell on the prince.
In fantasy fiction and games, spells are discrete units of magic with defined effects.
Figuratively, to be under someone's spell is to be captivated by them.
