unspelled
Lacking magical incantation
Unspelled describes something not spelled out—either literally unwritten or not explicitly stated.
A word left unspelled might be too vulgar to print.
An unspelled assumption lurks beneath the surface of an argument: The unspelled message was clear: don't come back.
In fantasy contexts, unspelled can mean not yet enchanted or freed from a spell.
