Spells and Rituals

One of the defining characteristics of a witch is their ability to cast spells; a "spell" being the word used to signify the means employed to carry out a magical action. A spell could consist of ritual action, a set of words, a verse, or any combination of these, many of which are archived in books known as Grimoires. Spells are bound by Nature and can range from simple to complex, depending on the need of the casting witch. Nature demands balance and as such, every spell has a loophole, no matter what magic is used to cast the spell.

For reasons unknown, the majority of spells used by practitioners of Traditional Magic and Spirit Magic are spoken in an ancient language very similar to Latin. However, witches who practice other forms of magic have been known to use spells in different languages; for example, the Nine Covens of New Orleans, which practices Ancestral Magic, performs their spells in French or French Creole, while the Travelers, practicing Traveler Magic, typically perform their spells in a language similar to Czech. Dahlia and Freya Mikaelson have shown to perform spells using a yet to be identified ancient magic in Old Norse, similar to modern-day Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese, Danish and Swedish.

## Biological Spells

Biological spells allow witches to affect the organic tissue of a living being by changing the state of a body and its natural processes. Although it is most commonly used for healing, other spells can be used to paralyze the body or preserve the recently deceased. Under extremely rare circumstances, it can be utilized to rapidly advance the age or completely alter the state of life.

* **Pain Reduction Spell:** *A spell that can be used to reduce the physical pain of another person. While the pain diminishes, the spell, however, does not have any real healing properties.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala.*
	+ **Used by:** In *Masquerade*, Bonnie Bennett performed this spell on Elena, to reduce the pain of the injuries the latter suffered because of the spell that linked her to her doppelgänger, Katherine.

* **Healing Spell:** *Typically an advanced spell that is used to heal the injuries and recover from non-fatal wounds. Such spells are capable of healing injuries at different proficiency levels, speed, and effectiveness. For some, the tedious nature of such spells takes years to learn.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Used by:** In *The Return*, Damon states that Emily practiced healing spells although it took her years to learn to use them. In *Pictures of You*, Bonnie, using Expression, rapidly recovered from Elena's vampire's bite; her wound healed within seconds. Similarly, in *The Walking Dead*, she was burned on her face after Elena attacked Katherine, who she was linked to. After Bonnie unlinked herself from Katherine, she recovered near instantly. In *Sanctuary*, Freya showed her penchant for healing spells with Rebekah who was possessing the witch body of Eva Sinclair. Freya healed her broken hand after saving her from the Kindred. Uniquelly, in *I Love You, Goodbye* and *Ashes to Ashes*, she used a similar spell to completely restore the corpses of Vincent Griffith and Eva, respectively, so that she could place Finn and Rebekah's spirits back into their vessels. Finn's spirit, and subsequently Vincent's, was spared from death by Freya's talisman despite Vincent's body having been severely burned and charred in an explosion while Rebekah had stabbed her vessel in the throat so that her spirit would return to her Original vampire body. In both instances, Freya was able to restore the bodies of both individuals so that possession was possible. In *Night Has A Thousand Eyes*, Dahlia performed a similar spell on the then Regent, Josephine LaRue. Dahlia simply blew onto her hands, breaking the curse that her mother cast that ultimately crippled her hands, making them swollen and arthritic. In *Haunter of Ruins*, Hope healed the broken wing of a butterfly after having removed the bracelet that suppressed her magic. Hayley also mentions that she knew of Hope's tendencies to heal injured fireflies. In *Goodbyes Sure Do Suck*, as Rafael began dying after the Necromancer severed his connections with his former acolytes, the witches of the Salvatore school magic began various magical analyses and healing spells to save Rafael. Though spells, however, did not did not work as intended.

* **Paralysis Spell:** *A spell used to paralyze a target's body, including even those of vampires, which has the effect of preventing them from moving at all.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Used by:** In *Disturbing Behavior*, Gloria performed this spell on Stefan Salvatore to prevent him from moving so that she could extract information from him about Elena, whom she saw in a vision with Esther's Talisman.

* **Preservation Spell:** *A powerful spell that allows a witch to preserve their own or the body of another being. Such a spell protects the deceased's body from any form of decay indefinitely.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Unknown
	+ **Used by:** In *Dangerous Liaisons*, Esther tells Elena that the witch Ayana performed this spell on her at the point of the latter's death so that she may one day return to her body and undo the vampire plague she created. In *Live Through This*, it was revealed that a similar spell was used on Julian's body. Presumably cast by the Heretics, they hoped to one day reunite his trapped spirit, within the phoenix stone, with his body.

* **Sleeping Beauty Spell:** *A spell that allows a witch to induce a mystical coma onto a target whose waking time is tied to another's death. The target's body is kept at perfect health and preserved until they wake up. The spell ensured that with the caster's death, became irreversible and that should the spell be tampered with, as to exploit a loophole, both linked targets shall die.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target, Blood of linked individual
	+ **Used by:** In *I'm Thinking Of You All The While*, Kai performed this spell, which was suggested by Lily Salvatore; sending Elena into a preserved sleep, linking both her life and that of Bonnie's. So long a Bonnie was alive, Elena would stay asleep. Kai wanted, in part, to make Damon suffer by making him choose between his best friend and his girlfriend.

* **Blood Gathering Spell:** *A simple spell that enables a witch to telekinetically gather and collect the blood of a specific target to one point, whether it is the witch's blood or that of another.*
	+ **Davina's Incantation:** *Venez sanguis. Venez sanguis, Venez sanguis la force de la bête à moi.*
	+ **Finn's Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Vincent's Incantation:** *Venez sanguinem au moi*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic (Davina/Vincent), Target's blood
	+ **Used by:** In *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Davina used this spell to gather what was left of Klaus's blood that splattered on a car not too far from the Abattoir. She did this in an attempt to save as many vampires as she can from the poison of the werewolf bite, but what she collected was only enough for a single vampire, who was given to Josh. In *Heart Shaped Box*, Finn, to save his sister's life, used his magic, while trapped within her pendant, to draw the blood from her wound upwards through the coffin and the ground so that she could be detected by Klaus. In *No More Heartbreaks*, Vincent performs a similar spell to collect what remains of Lucien's blood in an attempt to heal the poisoned Cami.

* **Fertility Spell:** *An unknown ritual related to fertility.*
	+ **Incantation:** *In Unum Edito, Dominus Sae Domina. Cuplas Sino Liberos.*
	+ **Requirements:** A witch's talisman
	+ **Used by:** In *Wheel Inside the Wheel*, Dahlia performed this unknown spell over a fire in her cottage while she was holding her necklace.

* **Metamorphosis Spell:** *An extremely rare and unique spell that can only be accomplished with comparable magical strength. At the most complex form of this spell, complete transmogrification can be performed. This is considered the most advanced form of all biologically-related spells.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Non-verbal*
	+ **Requirements:** Extremely powerful and advanced magic
	+ **Used by:** To date, this spell has only been accomplished twice, in two variations, with the latter at the most complex stage. The witch that performed the magic to accomplish such feats was Freya while she was linked to Dahlia through her unique form of connective magic and while her magic was augmented through Dahlia's immortality slumber spell. In *The Devil is Damned*, Freya accelerated the growth of a caterpillar causing it to undergo complete metamorphosis into a butterfly in mere seconds. In *Exquisite Corpse*, at the most complex level seen, Freya transmogrified or completely altered the form of the former witch Lenore, who was possessed by Esther, into a flock of starlings. Once altered the birds continued to live on and fly away for a few seconds, then each began to die one by one. Whether the death of the starlings was caused by Freya or through the transmogrification process, it remains to be seen. With the body destroyed in the process, Lenore was unable to be consecrated while Esther's spirit returned to the Ancestral plane. To date, no other witch has been able to perform such spells including Freya, as Dahlia's connective magic and magical augmentations have been removed.

* **Corruption Detection Spell:** *A spell that allows a witch to test for magic infused in a target's body.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Blood of the Target
	+ **Used by:** In *Behind the Black Horizon*, Davina, fearing for Kol, performed this spell on his blood and found that the Ancestors corrupted her resurrection spell and infused him with their magic.

* **Substance Concentration Spell:** *A spell that allows the casting witch to concentrate a substance, in this case, the Beast Serum, to a localized point within a biological system, specifically, Aurora's heart.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, Vincent performed this spell on Aurora to concentrate the Beast serum into her heart. Once localized, he'd be able to extract the serum from her. He also claimed that for the spell to work it would take a "little while", at least less than a day, to concentrate the serum. Eventually, he was successful in removing the serum from Aurora, only in turn to give it to Marcel, who became the Beast of prophecy.

* **Sleeping Beauty Reversal Spell:** *A direct reversal spell to break the mystically induced coma and life-link between two individuals without triggering the curse's secondary effect; to immediately cause death to the linked individuals.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Linked Target(s), Various Herbs, Candles, Grimoires
	+ **Used by:** In *I Was Feeling Epic*, Bonnie broke Kai's sleeping spell by reverse engineering his original spell and woke Elena from her mystical slumber. Bonnie admits it took some time to break the spell, though the exact explanation as to how she circumvented the original spell's "loophole-free" nature and not to cause instant death to her or Elena, is unknown.

* **Confirmation Spell:** *A spell that utilizes blood of a target to confirm whether or not if other individuals are linked to them.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Blood of the Target
	+ **Used by:** In *Gather Up the Killers*, Marcel asked Vincent to confirm whether or not Elijah had died since his sireline had not been killed off. Upon doing so, he confirmed that Elijah and his siblings were anchored to Klaus' life.

* **Beast Anti-Venom Spell:** *A direct cure to the lethal strain of engineered werewolf venom that was included in the magical concoction to create the Beast's enhanced bite.*
	+ **Incantation:** *La candidat au somme la toxique cantus*
	+ **Requirements:** The Seven individual strains of Werewolf venom, five dark objects, chalk seven-pointed star, seven candles, linked target's blood
	+ **Instructions:** A seven-pointed star is drawn on the ground and seven candles are placed just within each point of the star. Each of the seven strains of werewolf venom is placed at each point outside of the star. The witch infuses the linked target's blood with their magic, of which she amplifies by using unknown dark objects.
	+ **Used by:** In *Gather Up the Killers*, Freya reversed engineered a cure by combining the seven strains of werewolf toxin and Klaus' blood into a mystical anti-venom to rub over the bites of Elijah and Kol. With all of the ingredients, she had enough for a small bowl of anti-venom; a single dose, each, and no more.

* **Liquid Gathering Spell:** *A spell that allows the casting witch to gather and concentrate a liquid, such as tears, into a small vial.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Les lames colligo. Ad me gluttuli.*
	+ **Requirements:** Target liquid
	+ **Used by:** In *Til the Day I Die*, Davina performed this spell to collect Hope's tears as an ingredient to another spell.

* **Lineage Spell:** *A spell that tests the blood to determine whether magic is present in any form. Variations in this spell reveal ancestors.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target's blood
	+ **Used by:** In *Malivore*, Emma left this spell with Hope so that she could perform the spell on Landon to determine if he was supernatural in some way. After performing the spell, she concludes that Landon has *zero magic* in his bloodline. Emma points out that *most* humans have at least some trace of magical blood in their veins from a far-flung ancestor, but by all accounts of Alaric's tests, Landon does not. In *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*, Landon reveals that he had Josie perform a lineage spell on Rafael while he was trapped in wolf-form. He wanted to see if he had any ancestors who might know how to turn him back into his human form.

* **Ailment Resistance Spell:** *A spell that directly affects the constitution of the casting witch, enabling them to resist certain physical ailments.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Resistus maledi.*
	+ **Requirements:** None
	+ **Used by:** In *There's a Mummy on Main Street*, Josie, Lizzie, and Hope confronted a mummy. The mummy attacked first with a plague of hornets but the witches cast a bubble boundary spell to protect themselves. The mummy retaliated with another attack to cause Hope and Lizzie to vomit up beetles, effectively incapacitating the two and preventing them from casting more spells. Josie, however, was quick on her feet and performed this spell to resist the mummy's 'curse' and remained unaffected, allowing her to defeat the mummy with a fire spell.

* **Heartbeat Control Spell:** *A spell that allows the casting witch to control the rate of another person's heartbeat, as to keep them calm. Another similar spell helps one to regular their breath.*
	+ **First Incantation:** *Tardus pulsatio.*
	+ **Second Incantation:** *Corum spiritus*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *The Boy Who Still Has a Lot of Good to Do*, Emma performed this first spell on Rafael, who was experiencing "lunar psychosis", to keep him calm. She indicated that Rafael's mind was in flux, between his wolf and human state, which made it difficult to access his memories due to a premature revision back into his human form. What Rafael needed most was for his mind to be surrounded by things that are familiar to him and connect him to his humanity and not his lycanthropy. Emma performed this second spell while placing her hand over his heart which caused him to take a deep, calming breath.

* **Strength Augmentation Spell:** *A spell that allows the casting witch to alter the strength of another person.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Viribus.*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know*, Josie siphoned magic from Landon and performed this spell on him to help him with his self-confidence before they stated their annual charity football game. Questioning what she had done, Josie hands him a football and has him see for himself. He throws the ball clear across the field and strikes the Mystic Fall High School bus, cracking the glass panels of the door.

* **Pigmentation Spell:** *A spell that changes the pigmentation of one's skin.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Pellis tinctura.*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, a young Alyssa Chang turned Lizzie and Josie's skin pastel purple when they wouldn't give her a flower that Caroline gave them.

* **Moratorium Spell:** *A spell that alters the perception of time while delaying one's activities, so that the targets will move in slow motion.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Morator*
	+ **Requirements:** Target(s)
	+ **Used by:** In *What Cupid Problem?*, Alyssa performed this spell on MG and Kaleb, seemingly and effectively slowing them down in time to make them move in slow motion. This spell was enough to defy physics as when MG jumped the banister railings, he did so in slow motion. The spell was stopped when Kym knocked Alyssa unconscious.

* **Humanity Spell:** *A spell that restores a vampire's humanity, should they have switched it off.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Non-verbal*
	+ **Requirements:** Vampire
	+ **Used by:** In *You Can't Save Them All*, Josie, corrupted by dark magic, forcefully restores Jade's humanity.

## Boundary and Sealing Spells

Boundary spells allow witches to erect invisible barriers surrounding a set space for a set amount of time, preventing beings from entering or leaving the said location. However, they do not affect inanimate objects. Several Boundary Spells are tied to astrological events such as lunar or solar phases.

Sealing spells are a more potent form of boundary spells, especially when coupled with the casting witch's blood. When this is done, the spells are nearly impossible to break unless they are from the same bloodline.

* **Tomb Sealing Spell:** *A powerful spell used to entrap vampires within a certain area. Furthermore, the spell would seal the door to prevent anyone from opening the door to the tomb.*
	+ **Requirements:** Emily's Talisman, a Comet (original); two descendant witches, Pentagram, 5 Torches
	+ **Used by:** On September 25, 1864, Emily Bennett performed this spell upon Fell's church to save the tomb vampires from burning. In *History Repeating*, Damon revealed this information to Stefan, telling him that Katherine and the other vampires had been spared. In *Fool Me Once*, Sheila and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell to both lower and raise the seal that bound vampires to the tomb. Given the powerful nature of the spell, it proved to be exhausting to perform and Sheila claimed there was no guarantee that they could get the spell back up again after they lowered it. While the vampires did escape the tomb, it was later proven in *Masquerade* that they were, in fact, able to raise the seal that was capable of binding vampires within the tomb. However, it should be noted that the spell was considerably weakened as it would allow vampires to enter. Unlike Emily's original spell, this spell was also performed without the aid of a comet.

* **Tomb Sealing Counter Spell:** *A spell that can reverse the effects of the Tomb Spell. When performing the spell, the boundary can be lowered. In doing so, it can allow vampires to enter, but not leave. With enough magic, the seal can be lifted, breaking the boundary completely allowing vampires to enter and leave freely.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos Salves Nas Ex Malon, Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis, Et Vasa Quo Ero Signos.*
	+ **Requirements:** Pentagram drawn on the ground, Four torches representing Earth, Air, Fire, Water, A bottle of water; A full moon,
	+ **Used by:** In *Fool Me Once*, Sheila and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell to "open" the tomb since the Bennett Talisman, the tomb's "key", was destroyed. The original spell was impossible to break unless one knew exactly how it was created 145 years prior by Emily Bennett. This proved true as Sheila stated that opening the door didn't remove the seal that bound vampires within the tomb. However, as descendants of Emily, she and Bonnie were able to use this spell to lower and temporarily remove the seal though it proved to be an exhausting and powerful spell to put the seal back up. In *Rose*, Bonnie confirmed that it took both Sheila and herself to *undo* Emily's spell. Despite this, and the weakened spell freeing the tomb vampires, over time the spell remained intact after Sheila and Bonnie resealed the tomb. This proved to be true in *Masquerade* when Stefan and Damon used the tomb to imprison Katherine. After Jeremy was taken hostage by Katherine in the tomb after a failed attempt to retrieve the moonstone, Bonnie attempted to perform this spell again in *The Sacrifice*. To have enough power to perform the spell, she channeled Luka Martin. However, after Luka started to suffer from Bonnie's spell, Jonas broke her connection to his son, preventing Bonnie from lowering the seal. In *By the Light of the Moon*, Elijah and Elena reached a peaceful agreement to which she requested Stefan's release from the tomb. Elijah tasked Jonas with lifting the spell. At the time, as a more skilled witch than Bonnie, he and Luka both channeled the full moon and they were able to lift the seal, a full day after Bonnie's attempt. However, it should be noted that the original spell had been greatly weakened as this was the third attempt at lowering the spell. Furthermore, it currently remains unknown whether or not the original spell remains in effect as direct descendants of Emily could not completely remove the spell, even though the Martin witches were able to lift the spell to release Stefan.

* **Bennett Sealing Spell:** *A unique spell of the Bennett witch bloodline that utilizes their magic (or blood) to make a potent sealing spell near impossible to break without the specific ingredients.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos veras nos ex malom. Terra mora vantis quo incandis per vasa quo errum signos*
	+ **Requirements:** A Bennett Witch
	+ **Used by:** In *Masquerade*, Bonnie Bennett cast this spell on a room in the Lockwood Mansion that would trap Katherine, Stefan, and Damon so that none of the guests are aware of the fight to kill her. She later adapted the spell again to prevent humans, Elena and Alaric, from leaving the location in *By the Light of the Moon* and *The Sun Also Rises*, respectively. In *Bringing Out The Dead*, it is revealed that Abby Bennett Wilson performed this, or a similar spell on Mikael's tomb after desiccating him. It is unknown how the spell was lifted for Katherine to locate and free Mikael. In *Graduation*, Bonnie sealed the boiler room under the High School to prevent Kol, recently released Ghost from the Other Side while the veil was down, from stopping her from putting the veil back up. In *I'm Thinking Of You All The While* Bonnie performed this spell on the Salvatore crypt, which housed Elena's coffin so that her body would be protected from vampires seeking the cure. This spell was destroyed when the Heretics siphoned away the spell. In *Somebody That I Used to Know*, it is revealed that Virginia had Lucy Bennett perform the same spell on the The Armory's Vault, sealing it shut so that no other witch except a Bennett could unseal. In *Kill 'Em All*, Bonnie, after unsealing the vault, performed this spell on the Armory itself, sealing the entire building, so that whatever was released from the vault could not escape. The spell was later siphoned away by Lizzie and Josie. Note: In all known uses, the incantation was only ever performed on screen once, performed by Bonnie in *Kill 'Em All*.

* **Bennett Unsealing Spell:** *A direct counterspell to undo the Bennett Sealing spell, of which only a Bennett witch is capable of performing.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis, per Vasa Quo Errum Signos. Phasmatos selvus Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis, per Vasa Errum Quo Signos. Phasmatos selvus nos ex malom terra mora Vantis Quo Incandis per Vasa Quo Errum Signos. Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis.*
	+ **Requirements:** Bennett Witch
	+ **Used by:** In *Masquerade*, Lucy Bennett cast this or a variant counterspell to remove Bonnie's boundary spell in the Lockwood Mansion. In *Kill 'Em All*, Bonnie performed this spell on the Armory's Vault, opening it for Alex.

* **Unsealing Spell:** *A spell that enables an enchanted door, or something that has been magically sealed, to open.*
	+ **Bonnie's First Incantation:** *Phasmatos Siprum, Emnis Abortum, Fasila Quisa Exilum San.*
	+ **Bonnie's Second Incantation:** *Phasmatos Tribum, Melan Veras, Et Vasa Quisa, Exu Quisa.*
	+ **Used by:** In *Our Town* and *The Ties That Bind*, respectively, Bonnie Bennett performed these spells upon Esther's magically sealed coffin to try and unseal them, though the spells failed. In *Bag of Cobras*, Freya used a non-verbal form of this spell to unseal a storage unit that contained stuff from Hayley's childhood and parents.

* **Doorway Sealing Spell:** *A spell used to lock and seal the doors of a room.*
	+ **Davina's Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Bonnie's Incantation:** *Vis porta.*
	+ **Hope's Incantation:** *Claudo te.*
	+ **Hope's Second Incantation:** *Vis sera portus*
	+ **Emma's Incantation:** *Vis sera portus*
	+ **Alyssa's Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Used by:** In *Alive and Kicking*, Davina kept Mikael locked away in the attic of St. Anne's Church locked behind what Kol described as a rather complex spell. No one could enter nor could Mikael leave unless Davina summoned him with the Bracelet of Obedience. Once he was summoned, the spell that locked him within would be undone and the door would open, allowing entry to others. In *Live Through This*, Bonnie Bennett used this spell to seal a doorway when she and Enzo were running from Oscar. It is also possible that she used the same spell to seal the Salvatore Crypt in which Elena's body was placed. Both spells were eventually siphoned away. In *Death Keeps Knocking On My Door*, Hope, upset with Alaric, performed this spell to lock him inside his office so that she could confront the Necromancer. In *We're Gonna Need A Spotlight*, Hope performed her second incantation on the Salvatore school's auditorium doors when the mind-controlling slugs infected the majority of the students and began to chase after her and Landon. She stated that the spell would hold the 'pod people' for now and when the temporary effects of the spell began to wear off, Emma reinforced the spell with the added chains that Dorian applied to hold back the infected students. In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, Alyssa spelled the doorknob to "do not disturb" so she could make out with Jed.

* **Room Isolation Spell:** *A minor boundary spell to seal a room. The spell erects an invisible barrier to prevent specified targets from leaving or to enable certain ones to enter.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Freya's Incantation:** *Apné sà mene*
	+ **Used by:** Liv Parker would perform a similar spell, in *While You Were Sleeping* and *The Day I Tried To Live*, so that Elena could not feed on innocents and again so that Damon and Elena could not stop her from taking revenge on Kai, respectively. Nora performed a similar spell within the Salvatore house to prevent Caroline from leaving the room they tortured her in. She would later give the spell 'slack' telling Caroline that she could *use some space to stretch her legs*, in *Never Let Me Go*. While the previous spells have been used to entrap vampires specifically, it is not exclusive. In *I Was Feeling Epic*, Katherine reveals that Kai Parker was *kind enough* to set that trap, crafting the spell to prevent Elena, a human, from leaving the boiler room. The spell, however, was bound specifically to Elena as Stefan, the recently cured vampire, could come and go as he pleased. Katherine also mentions that Kai could not reverse the spell as he was permanently indisposed (trapped in his new prison world). It is likely, however, that Bonnie broke his spell and freed Elena. In *Voodoo Child* Freya, using sage, performed her spell on a room in the Abattoir so that Keelin would be safe from the Hollow. Freya claimed that the spell would only allow her entry into the room. In *The Feast of All Sinners*, Dominic performed this spell within St. Anne's Church, restricting Marcel and Sofya's advances towards him and his master, the Hollow. After they spoke, coming to a truce, he released the spell and allowed them to come forth so that he could bow to the Hollow, who was still possessing Hope. In *All's Well That Ends Well*, Hope spelled Landon within his room to protect him from what the banshee claimed would happen; that he would die if Cleo stayed at the school.

* **Fire Boundary Spell:** *The spell allows the witch to trap individuals within a circle of fire. They would be unable to escape, and any attempt to do so would cause a surge in the fire's intensity.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Subjects, Fire
	+ **Used by:** In *The Last Day*, Greta Martin used this spell during the Sacrifice Ritual to keep the intended sacrifices (Jenna Sommers, Elena Gilbert, and Jules) trapped during the blood sacrifice.

* **Fire Boundary Counter Spell:** *The spell allows the witch to undo a fire boundary spell, extinguishing the trap.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Namia Exum Solvos*
	+ **Requirements:** Subjects, Fire
	+ **Used by:** In *The Sun Also Rises*, Greta Martin performed this spell to extinguish one of the fire circles.

* **Sealed Boundary Spell:** *The spell prevents entry of vampires into a specific location, though other supernatural species (i.e. ghosts, werewolves, and witches) or humans can pass through.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Unknown
	+ **Used by:** In *Ghost World*, it was revealed that a boundary spell had been placed at the entryway of the cave deep under Mystic Falls. Given that Klaus was able to inscribe the events of his Mother's murder upon its walls, an unknown witch cast the spell over the cave sometime after the death of 'The Original Witch', Esther. Later, based on Esther's knowledge of the spell, it can be assumed it was cast by her mentor, Ayana, as she was the only other known witch of her village. Furthermore, Esther's possession spell, a witch possessing her daughter's vampiric body, was able to circumvent the bounds, allowing Esther to pass through, as shown in *Heart of Darkness*.

* **Threshold Spell:** *Seemingly an ancient spell that dates back to the creation of vampires. The spell bars entry to vampires into the boundaries of a property or home that is owned by a living person (including witches, werewolves, Doppelgängers, etc.) without first being invited in by the owner.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Unknown
	+ **Used by:** Though not much is known about the creation of this spell, so called by Bonnie, it was presumably created by the Spirits of Nature, or by Nature itself, that turned against Esther when she created the first vampires. In *Ordinary People*, Rebekah recounts the consequences of becoming vampires in which she states *Neighbors who had opened their homes to us could now keep us out.* In *Never Let Me Go*, Bonnie states to Matt that the reason vampires are unable to cross the threshold of owned property (by the living) was due to magic. It is also worthy to note that there is no known magical loophole to this spell. As the only way to remove the spell is for the owner of the property to die, which has been shown on numerous occasions. Bonnie goes on to state that to reenact the spell and to *reseal the house, they'll have to sign over the deed to someone else.* Should a vampire be within the bounds of the property of which the deed is signed over to another, the vampires within will be magically and forcibly pulled/pushed from the house, as seen with Stefan and Caroline.

* **Blood-Knot Sealing Spell:** *A spell unique to the Bennett bloodline that utilizes the power from two generations of witches to seal an object.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Blood from a specific bloodline
	+ **Used by:** In *Dangerous Liaisons*, Esther reveals that when she died, her friend and mentor, the Witch Ayana, performed this spell upon Esther's coffin after she preserved her body. It is unknown if two generations of witches are required to seal the object, though the spell lasted for nearly 1000 years before two Bennett witches could open the coffin.

* **Blood-Knot Unsealing Spell:** *An unsealing spell that requires the power of two generations of witches to open a certain object. The two generations of witches have to be directly related descendants, such as a mother and daughter, of the original caster.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Sigalis Intransium, Exalis Exalis, Omnas Quisa Operum, Sigalis Intransium, Exalis Exalis. Omnaben Libras, Sigalis Intransium, Exalis Exalis. Omnas Quisa Operum, Exalis Exalis.*
	+ **Requirements:** 2 generations of witches from the same bloodline (Mother and daughter of the Bennett Bloodline)
	+ **Used by:** In *Bringing Out The Dead*, Abby and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell upon Esther's coffin, freeing her, by breaking Ayana's original spell.

* **Salt Boundary Spell:** *This spell creates a barrier that can selectively trap certain species, typically Vampires, within a boundary drawn with salt. The spells used range in power and size, some small enough to trap singular targets whereas others are powerful enough to surround locations as large as an entire school or sections of a large cemetery.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Cleo's Incantation:** *L'agbara ina yi, o le lò ó.*
	+ **Requirements:** A line or circle of salt, which acts as the binding agent, is drawn surrounding the area or target
	+ **Used by:** In *Do Not Go Gentle*, The Original Witch, Esther Mikaelson, used this spell outside of Mystic Falls High School, preventing any vampires from following her and Elena. Humans, however, were able to walk right past it. In *Every Mother's Son*, Esther, now in Lenore's body, used salt or another unknown powder to facilitate a barrier against Klaus to protect herself. In *Ashes to Ashes*, Dahlia created a small, localized boundary around herself and Freya so she could kill her and the Original without any interference from either. However, the recently resurrected Esther was able to cross the boundary with ease, suggesting that the boundary was to keep out vampires. In *For the Next Millennium*, Davina used her magic to draw Hayley to Lafayette Cemetery and used a salt boundary spell to contain her until she could shift back into her human form. In *A Ghost Along the Mississippi*, Freya cast a salt boundary spell around Aurora, who was heavily drugged and confined within the spell. However, she escaped via Lucien either aided by another witch of his or by one of the numerous dark objects he stole. In *Dead Angels*, Vincent, as Regent, placed a boundary spell within a portion of Lafayette Cemetery to protect Cami from Klaus. While the spell prevented Klaus (vampires) from entering, the Sister Witches had no issues and were able to cross the salt line. In *A Streetcar Named Desire*, Freya placed a boundary spell over the tomb that Klaus was in the process of sealing Aurora inside to prevent anyone from releasing her. In *No More Heartbreaks*, Davina performed a salt boundary spell within Rousseau's when she confronted Lucien. He, however, was easily able to pass over the salt barrier with the assistance of the Ancestors, who rendered the spell useless. In *Gather Up the Killers*, Vincent, at Marcel's request, crafted a new boundary spell that would allow vampires to enter but unable to leave and strong enough to contain an original, so that Klaus could fight Alistair but not flee the compound. In *Haunter of Ruins*, Freya contained Keelin in a salt circle bound by numerous candles to keep her safe and to prevent her from fleeing again (or to be set free by Hayley). In *I Hear You Knocking*, Freya bound Marcel in the same prison that held Klaus and cloaked him to prevent those from his sireline from seeing him. In *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*, Klaus forces Colette, a witch he kidnapped, to perform a boundary spell around him, herself, Josh, and David as he kidnapped one member of each faction so that they all would be pushed to find Hayley. In *There in the Disappearing Light*, an unnamed witch working for Emmett cast a boundary spell, bound in salt, around Marcel so that Emmett could exact his venom. Despite the spell being bound in salt, upon the witch's death at the hands of Josh, the spell broke. In *Long Time, No See*, Alaric tasked Kaleb and Cleo with setting up traps in order to catch and contain any Malivore monsters after the arrival of a leprechaun. Cleo placed salt in doorways and performed this spell. While casting, the salt ignited with fire and she drew the flames to the opposing end of the salt line. Once complete, the fire subsided and the boundary was set. With the space consecrated, if a monster entered the space, it would be unable to leave. Cleo summoned the psychopomp, Charon, within the bounds of one of her consecrated spaces. When Charon attempted to cross the salt, the spell began to burn his skeletal foot.

* **Boundary Counterspell:** *A counterspell used to reverse a boundary spell, specifically bound in salt.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Merabas Hic Libatal, Confremun Signas. Omus Quisa Tentum Exalis, Merabas Hic Libatal. Confremun Signas. Omus Quisa Tentum Exalis.*
	+ **Requirements:** 6 candles
	+ **Used by:** In *Do Not Go Gentle*, Bonnie Bennett has used this spell under Klaus' command in an attempt to reverse the boundary spell performed by Esther around Mystic Falls High School. In *High Water and a Devil's Daughter*, Hope used her magic to release Marcel from Freya's Salt boundary. In *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*, Colette broke her Salt Boundary spell and freed herself, David, and Josh; she did so without casting a spell. However, once they were freed Klaus killed David and Colette but Josh was saved due to Vincent's intervention.

	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic

* **Confinement Spell:** *The spell is generally used by witches, specializing in Sacrificial Magic, to protect their sources of power (i.e. sacrifices). A binding circle is drawn using a concoction of various ingredients that form a white powder. When it is drawn on the ground, the spell confines a person or object within the marked space, preventing anyone else from entering. It is a convoluted spell that can be broken by powerful binding agents such as rock salt, volcanic ash, eye of newt, or the blood of a more potent witch.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Sacrificial Magic
	+ **Used by:** In *Dance Back from the Grave*, Papa Tunde performed this spell on a few unnamed vampires before setting his sights on the Original vampire, Rebekah Mikaelson. When complete, Rebekah was completely immobile (desiccated), and the spell prevented entry so that no one could move her while he was channeling her strength and healing abilities. It was later used by Finn (in possession of Vincent) to protect his father and later his mother whom he was channeling in *Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire*.

	+ **Used by:** In *Chasing the Devil's Tail*, Kol reveals to Davina that Mary-Alice Claire used this spell to prevent anyone, especially Kol, from entering their crypt, known as his 'playhouse', where they created dark objects and schemed against Klaus. Mary-Alice confirmed this to Astrid moments before their realization of being sealed in the Dowager's House.

* **Boundary Manipulation Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to manipulate the effects of a boundary spell placed by another witch. It can allow the witch to turn around the boundary's effects, for example, a spell that is supposed to keep people out will keep people trapped inside of a certain location.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Aven safa sa belise, de la mer...*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic, Binding agent of the original spell
	+ **Used by:** In *The Map of Moments*, one of Klaus' witch allies used this spell to turn Mary-Alice's spell against her and Astrid by trapping them within the dowager's mansion, as well as to curse the entire place by ensuring that once a person is inside, they can no longer leave.

* **Reinforced Boundary Destruction Spell:** *A spell that utilized raw magical power to break through (reverse) a complex imprisoning spell placed on a building.*
	+ **First Incantation:** *Destruccive glas stav enfala. Destruccive glas stav enfala.*
	+ **Second Incantation:** *Apné en vrata!*
	+ **Third Incantation:** *Repo oma dal most*
	+ **Requirements:** Physical contact with the binding agent
	+ **Used by:** In *Sanctuary*, Freya used the first spell to free herself, and Rebekah, of the Asylum's manipulated boundary spell, that prevented anyone from leaving, with raw magical power. Though not reinforced, it remained a complex spell that persisted over time, to which Rebekah indicated that it would take a powerful source of magic for her and Cassie to channel to break. In *No Quarter*, Freya, again used raw magical power by channeling Hayley, used the second spell to weaken Vincent's reinforced boundary spell that had been in place for five years. However, even channeling Hayley and then using her power, she was unable to break the spell, only weakening it enough to free Klaus. In *I Hear You Knocking*, Freya performed yet another variation of this spell to break through the Hollow's spell that barred entry to the abandoned house where it first appeared. The spell was too strong to break on her own accord and, with Elijah's arrival, she was able to channel him and successfully broke through the spell. In *Keepers of the House*, Freya attempted the second incantation over a safe in Marcel's penthouse, though the spell failed. Without drawing unwanted attention, by forcing her way into the safe, Keelin said she would use her werewolf instincts and enhanced abilities (from the moonlight ring) to break into the safe.

* **Sacrificial Boundary Spell:** *A powerful spell that can trap dozens of people inside of a building. If touched, the boundary will severely burn the person trying to pass through.

	+ **Used by:** In *Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire*, Finn used this powerful spell to trap the werewolves and the vampires inside of the Abattoir by binding the spell to Mikael, an original vampire.

* **Ancestral Boundary Reversal Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to undo a boundary spell, however, if the boundary spell is bound to a powerful object, reversing it would be impossible without the binding agent. It was later confirmed as the same spell used to disrupt any form of magic.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Singuinata Venet a Superem*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic, Two or more witches
	+ **Used by:** In *Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire*, Davina and Kol attempted this spell to reverse Finn's boundary spell, however, they were unsuccessful. The most that could be done was to disrupt the spell for a single minute.

* **Finn's Boundary Spell:** *Through a hand gesture towards the target, the witch can trap a certain person inside of an undetermined space.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Kembe po transi*
	+ **Requirements:** Sacrificial Magic

	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic, Moon as a binding agent.
	+ **Used by:** In *Le Grand Guignol*, Céleste used this spell to only trap the Originals inside of the City of the Dead. Vampires such as Marcel could leave the confinements of the boundary.

	+ **Requirements:** Expression, New Moon
	+ **Used by:** In *A View to a Kill*, Bonnie used expression to trap Klaus inside the Gilbert's living room after Elena and Jeremy killed his brother, Kol.

In *Down the Rabbit Hole*, it was proven that when Bonnie almost died, the spell was broken and he was freed.

* **Solar Boundary Spell:** *The spell is bound to the sun, therefore, the targets will be trapped inside of a certain location until sundown the same day.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Sun as a binding agent

This spell was carefully crafted with such unique ingredients, that it was one of the most difficult sealing spells to break, lasting since the first century. In *We All Go a Little Mad Sometimes*, Shane reveals the origins of Silas's fate and of the spell that entombed him.

* **Sire-Line Boundary Spell:** *An augmented "invitation" spell that prevents entry of vampires into a certain location, other than vampires of the sire-line whom the spell was cast upon. This particular spell gave sanctuary to a vampire from other vampires like that of Humans owning property.*

	+ **Hope's Third Incantation:** *Expello*
	+ **Requirements:** Focus
	+ **Used by:** In *Behind the Black Horizon*, Freya Mikaelson performed this spell to protect her brothers Finn and Elijah from Lucien. This spell was cast with great focus and a hand pose. In *Mombie Dearest*, Penelope cast the barrier spell on the gymnasium in the Salvatore Boarding School to prevent Rafael, and by extension Hope, from meeting Lizzie during her sweet sixteen birthday party. Penelope states that the spell will last for one hour and then they will be free. Despite Hope's abilities, she was unable to undo the spell claiming that only Penelope could, or either Lizzie or Josie could have siphoned the spell away. In *There's a World Where Your Dreams Came True*, Hope prepared a barrier spell to trap the next Malivore creature when it would inevitably come to steal the urn. In *We're Gonna Need A Spotlight*, it's revealed that she tied the spell to a makeshift fence made from sticks and tree limbs. Once the unicorn, carrying the mind-controlling slug past the barrier, it was trapped and, by Hope's account, harmless. Despite that a barrier was in place, the slug-like creature that the unicorn carried had no issue with passing the boundary spell. After Josie was infected, the slug controlled her to remove Hope's spell, by siphoning, so she and Penelope could retrieve the urn. In *Since When Do You Speak Japanese?*, Josie performed this spell to prevent anyone from entering, or leaving Alaric's office at Mystic Falls High School, except for herself, to protect Landon and Kurutta from the oni.

However, Ryan claimed that he found another loophole out of his situation and betrayed her. Hope performed this spell to seal him inside one of the rooms at the Salvatore school to find out what he wished for from the Krampus. In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, after the qareen knocks Josie out, Landon states that Emma put up a barrier spell so that the qareen can't escape from the school. In *What Cupid Problem?*, Hope performed a barrier spell within the school's gymnasium to prevent Pothos from escaping. However, the spell only functioned to prevent him from crossing a wall-to-wall boundary and not encompass the room. This allowed Pothos to fly up and break through the roof. In *You Can't Save Them All*, Hope performed her third spell to protect herself from Kai, as her previous attack failed and he rushed her with his vampiric speed. Alyssa also performed a similar spell to protect her while she attempted to sever Kai's connection to the 2018 Prison World. After Wendy and Jade were freed from the Prison World, they and Alyssa were moved from the boarding school to the Old Mill and placed behind a barrier spell by Josie.

	+ **Used by:** In *Gather Up the Killers*, it's revealed that Vincent had placed Klaus behind a powerful boundary spell, to prevent him from leaving or from others from entering, and reinforced it over the five years he was held captive. Its precise function is unclear, as he also mentioned he spelled the chains that restrained him. In *I Hear You Knocking*, the Hollow cast a similar spell on the abandoned house and blocked Freya's advances. This was done so that Marcel and Klaus would fight to the death and prevent Freya's, or another's interruption. On both occasions, these spells were powerful enough to prevent Freya's entry and she needed time and something to channel to break and/or weaken. In *A Spirit Here That Won't Be Broken*, the Hollow cast the boundary spell over a room within the LaForge house, where she held Hayley captive and bound it to her protection totem. The spell was impossible for Freya to break and was only released when the protection totem was destroyed by Klaus.

Alaric and Dorian wanted to question Josette, as they believed it was a new creature disguised as Alaric's dead fiancée to steal the supernatural knife. In *The Boy Who Still Has a Lot of Good to Do*, Emma mentions that she would seal Rafael in his room to protect the wing of vampires should he shift back into his werewolf form after suffering from lunar psychosis.

The witches countered the mummy's 'curse' with the bubble boundary spell to protect themselves. The mummy retaliated with another attack to cause Hope and Lizzie to vomit up beetles, effectively incapacitating the two and preventing them from casting more spells. Josie, however, was quick on her feet and performed this spell to resist the mummy's 'curse' and remained unaffected, allowing her to defeat the mummy with a fire spell. Knowing the mummy would reform and resurrect due to the cursed bound by the scarab that empowered the monster, Alaric devised a plan to steal the urn from Triad Industries. With the mummy on another rampage, Alaric instructed Kaleb to confront the mummy directly, to vamp speed up to it, and steal the scarab. He tossed the pendent to Josie and Lizzie where they began to siphon the curse. The mummy stalked forward and confronted Hope and the others, creating another plague of hornets. Hope performed this spell for a second time to buy more time for Josie and Lizzie to finish siphoning the curse from the scarab; however, the hornets dissipated before reaching Hope. The curse had been lifted and the mummy was dead.

Similarly, Lizzie performed the Containment Spell in *We're Being Punked, Pedro*. Since then, Lizzie also mentions, in *This Year Will Be Different*, that the school has "magical defenses". Whether or not these spells are related or the same remains unknown. In *All's Well That Ends Well*, Hope spelled a defensive perimeter around the school.

## Cloaking and Illusion Spells

Cloaking spells allow witches to either render a being, location or object physically undetectable to the senses or magically undetectable by locator spells, making it so that magic cannot track them.

Illusion spells are an advanced form of Cloaking spells that allow witches to project into the mind of a target and affect the senses to perceive a false reality of a being, location or object which they can then manipulate.

* **Illusionary Cloaking Spell:** *More commonly known as an invisibility spell, this spell allows a witch to cloak themselves and their targets — be it a person, object or certain locations completely based on one's perception. However, magic can be disrupted by magical objects. The distance in which a witch can cloak their target is directly proportionate to their level of skill.*

	+ **Liv's Incantation:** *Phasmatos radium calaraa, Phasmato... (Alternative)*
	+ **Emma's Incantation:** *Nullum visa laris*
	+ **Used by:** When Bonnie could not cloak the four coffins, the Spirits of the Witch Burial Ground cloaked the Mikaelson family coffins whenever they sensed allies of Niklaus, in *The New Deal* and in *Our Town*. In *The Ties That Bind*, the Spirits later reversed the spell when Klaus threatened their living descendants, including Bonnie and Abby. In *Fade Into You*, Joshua Parker used this spell to cloak his house and later to render himself invisible. In *I Alone*, Kai interrupts Elena and Damon's attempt to rescue Bonnie from the prison world. After siphoning some of Liv's magic, he performs this spell to disappear. However, Damon was still able to get the upper-hand against him when he manages to knock him into the anti-magic border with a tree branch. In *Woke Up With a Monster*, Kai, having siphoned the entirety of the anti-magic spell that covered Mystic Falls, kidnapped Elena to practice and get his magic under control. Before Elena, he practiced on the manager at Mystic Grill, where he was finally able to perform a cloaking spell on him. Once he figured it out, he explains, it's easy to do and to undo. Which he promptly undoes the spell to show Elena the managed body of the manager. Wanting to rescue Elena, Damon wanted to have Liv cloak him so he could sneak into Mystic Falls High School, without Kai noticing. Liv agrees to do the spell, but she's not going into the school. If Kai sees her, she's dead. Instead, she tells him that she's strong enough to do the spell from outside while he goes in. Despite their plan, as Liv begins the spell, she disappears. Instead, Luke appears before Damon, having been cloaked himself, and tells him that Liv doesn't have the time for this. Luke then promptly disappears with the *Invisique* spell. Luke's magic was stronger than her own and she couldn't fight it. With his plan disrupted, Damon opts for plan B. Josette will perform the cloaking spell to help Damon rescue Elena, however, given that she's out of practice with her magic, she'll have to remain by his side for the spell to work, meaning she'll have to go inside the school, potentially facing Kai. With plan B working, Jo and Damon can rescue Elena, though now cloaking three people, including herself, the spell was becoming too taxing for her and she eventually reached her limit. She collapsed and, with her, the spell too, which revealed them. Kai finds them and cloaks himself and Elena. When "Kai" reappears, Damon attempts to impale him with a mop handle, but Kai appears next to the 'fake' Kai, revealing that he also glamored Elena with an illusion spell to make her look like him. In *Age of Innocence*, Valerie recounts to Caroline when she first met Stefan, in 1863 at the Mystic Falls County Fair. Julian however is there too and attempts to find her, but she siphons a bit of magic from her amulet to hide herself and Stefan, revealing that she's a witch. Present-day, however, Valerie finds and sits next to Stefan at Mystic Falls Hospital. She reveals that she was with child before Julian beat her within inches of her life, though the baby doesn't make it. Despite recounting the story to Stefan, she was cloaked the entire time and Stefan remained unaware of her presence. In *Live Through This*, Valerie seeks out to destroy Julian's body to prevent Lily and the others from resurrecting him from the Phoenix Stone. After Valerie finds him, she attempts to destroy his body with a fire spell, though the flames immediately go out. Valerie's confused, but Nora and Mary Louise appear, having been cloaked, and stopped her attempts. In *Mommie Dearest*, Valerie casts the *Invisique* spell over herself and Caroline to protect themselves from Beau, still loyal to Lily and Julian. Having done so, she made the realization that the Progeny Locator spell worked when it pointed to Caroline, despite the media tests failing. Josette's babies were also cloaked when they were transferred to Caroline via the Gemini's Surrogacy Spell. In *Postcards from the Edge*, Valerie helped Stefan rescue Damon from his and Julian's boxing match. Valeria cloaked Stefan and performed a non-verbal pain infliction spell on Julian. Overwhelmed with pain, Stefan appears and punches Julian and helps Damon out of the boxing ring. Later that night, Valerie and Stefan return to find Julian. Valerie has cloaked herself, Stefan and Julian, so none of his friends can see his death. Valerie incapacitates him with another pain infliction spell and Stefan stakes him dead. In *Days of Future Past*, Nora cloaked herself and attempted to attack Enzo. She pulls him from the police car, but he recovers enough to punch her to the ground. Distracted, she loses the spell and she appears and attempts to throw him back with a *Motus* spell and a pain infliction spell, but Enzo eventually gains the upper hand over her. In *I Went to the Woods*, Valerie cloaked herself after fighting with Damon and, per his suggestion, when to find Rayna. In *The Lies Will Catch Up To You*, Kai works with Damon in exchange for a permanent way out from Hell. Damon wants him to undo the sleeping curse on Elena, however, Kai betrays Damon. He siphons from him and leaves him dead, and he and the coffin that holds Elena vanishes with his *Invisique* spell. In *We're Being Punked, Pedro*, to protect the lower class grade students from the gargoyle, Emma cast this spell in the grand hall and made it seem as if the room was empty. In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Hope performed this spell on herself to hide from the Shadow creatures that roamed Malivore. Ryan, however, could still see her, while the creatures couldn't, despite having no physical interaction with her when the spell was cast. In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Lizzie used the *Invisique* spell on her and Landon. Landon hoped that if they were invisible then they could pit the reanimated zombie jogger against the croatoan. This doesn't work so they lure it into a cell and lock it in. Despite being cloaked, the croatoan could still hear Lizzie and Landon speak, wherein other instances, users of this spell were completely cloaked in all forms. In *It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough*, Hope, Lizzie, and Josie performed this cloaking spell on themselves and the magically restrained sphinx to conceal their activities from the general public. In *Long Time, No See*, Lizzie telekinetically took Josie's coin with her stored siphon power from Hope. To prevent Hope from taking and giving it back to Josie, she cast the *invisique* spell on the coin and tossed it into the cemetery grounds. In *All's Well That Ends Well*, Lizzie used the *invisique* spell to hide herself from MG while at Mystic Falls HIgh School. Still cloaked, she took the opportunity to help Josie reconnect with Finch by knocking her books from her arms so she would be prompted to help pick them up with her. After a successful reintroduction, Lizzie dragged her to the side of the locker and continued to guide her. Later that night, Lizzie performed the spell again to follow Finch back into the Salvatore School to see who she was seeing after she rejected Josie. Lizzie, however, learned that Finch was a werewolf and was using the school's basement to shift under the full moon.

* **Illusion Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to alter the perception of the immediate vicinity creating illusions of objects and other people. Such spells range from creating manifestations that appear real to altering the physical form of another or themselves. At more advanced levels they can become physical manifestations.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Professor Vardemus' Incantation:** *Phantamogriphia Decorum*
	+ **Used by:** In *Wheel Inside the Wheel*, as Klaus was attempting to desecrate Esther's corpse by setting it on fire, the latter used an illusion of Elijah to intervene. Through the illusion, Esther sought to persuade Klaus to talk to Esther and to hear her out about her "deal" (to take the body of a mortal). However, Klaus deduced that *this* Elijah was an illusion and Esther came forth. In *Woke Up With a Monster*, Kai performed an illusion spell over Elena, which made Damon perceive that Elena was himself. Damon attacked the illusion of Kai, nearly staking Elena in the heart. Kai, who was cloaked, revealed himself moments later after Damon rushed to Elena's side. In *Dead Angels*, Madison utilized an illusion spell to taunt Klaus, while she was safely behind Vincent's boundary spell to keep out vampires. Once the illusion was broken, she attacked Klaus by combining telekinesis and pain infliction before she snapped his neck. In *I Hear You Knocking*, the Hollow created illusions, via a dark magic "infection" upon Klaus and Marcel, appearing to them as people that they feared or hated to torment them to eventually get them to fight each other to the death. In *A Spirit Here That Won't Be Broken*, the Hollow used the illusions of Jackson and Keelin to appear to Hayley and Freya, respectively, as they attempted to kill her. Having the spell bound to her Protection totem, that also augmented her power, Jackson became a physical manifestation, able to physically harm Hayley. The illusion was broken when the protection totem, which bound the spell, was destroyed by Klaus. In *This Year Will Be Different*, Professor Vardemus performed this spell, which seemed to have initiated from his ornate ring, on the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted headmaster's office to change the appearance from that of the former headmaster, Alaric. Though the spell was "simple", he believed that appearances can be important. In *What Cupid Problem?*, Hope reveals that Alyssa performed an illusion spell on the ascendant to prevent anyone from bringing Alaric, Josie, and Lizzie back from the 2018 prison world. In *Kai Parker Screwed Us*, Josie performed an illusion spell on a small bottle of Vodka, making it appear to be a vial of Bennett blood, ultimately to trick Kai when he double-crossed her.

* **Disillusionment Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to counter illusion or cloaking spells, revealing magically hidden objects or people.*
	+ **Kai's Incantation:** *Phasmatos Oculacs*
	+ **Hope and Lizzie's Incantation:** *Invisque saeclum*
	+ **Used by:** In *Woke Up With a Monster*, Malachai Parker used this spell to reveal a bloody corpse to Elena, whom he had taken hostage. In *What Cupid Problem?*, Alyssa performed this spell to reveal the cloaked ascendant. Before giving it to MG, she dropped it on the floor, causing it to break into numerous pieces. In *Long Time, No See*, Hope dreamed of entering the prison world to save Landon. Reaching the gates of the Salvatore School, a Croatoan blocked her path, but her cloaking spell prevented the creature from seeing her. Once the monster left, she performed the spell to reveal herself and eventually found Landon before she awoke. In *All's Well That Ends Well*, Lizzie performed this spell to remove the *invisique* spell after Finch found her and grabbed her by the throat as she began to turn into a werewolf. Lizzie opted to stay and help finish chaining her up, but Finch told her to run as it was too late.

* **Gemini Cloaking Spell:** *A spell used to shield oneself from a locator spell and disrupts visions trying to pinpoint their location. It can also be used on a group of people so long as they stay in a reasonably close approximation to the witch casting it.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** A ring of candles, Salt and Iron powder
	+ **Direction:** An intricate pattern is drawn within the ring using the salt and iron powder. After this, the witch steps into the center of the circle and enters a trance state.
	+ **Used by:** In *Rescue Me*, Hazel had been performing this spell for 4 months to hide Stefan's last Doppelgänger, Tom Avery, from the Travelers. Luke Parker later used the same spell to hide Elena and Stefan from Markos and the Travelers in *What Lies Beneath*.

* **Silencing Spell:** *The spell works by throwing a handful of salt into a lighted candle. As long as the candle is lit, no one, including vampires and hybrids will be able to hear anything. Instead, all they will hear is a sizzling sound. Variations of the spell can cause audible noise, such as car alarms, to become completely silenced.*
	+ **Olivia's Incantation:** *None*
	+ **Cleo's Incantation:** *Edacay*
	+ **Requirements:** A lit candle, Salt
	+ **Used by:** In *Rescue Me*, Olivai used this spell to keep Tyler from listening in on her and Jeremy's conversation. In *Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right*, Cleo performed this spell on a number of cars that had been ransacked by the leprechaun which caused their car alarms to sound. The spell only removed the sound while the flashing lights continued.

* **Privacy Spell:** *A spell that is cast over burning sage. Aas long as the sage burns, no one will be able to overhear anything from the room in which it burns.*
	+ **Requirements:** Burning sage
	+ **Used by:** Esther used this spell in *Dangerous Liaisons*, to keep her children from overhearing her and Elena's conversation. Bonnie later tried the same spell but was unable to perform it in *All My Children*. In *Dead Angels*, the Strix witch, Madison, used this spell to keep Vincent and Camille from hearing Klaus. She coupled the spell, by waving over the sage, to disrupt Klaus' cell reception. It was also used by Freya so that she and Hayley could torture Aurora without disruption in *Out of the Easy*.

* **Cloaking Spell:** *A spell developed and used to hide specifically from locator spells. Various witches employ different means and magics that range in power to stay effectively hidden from other witches.*
	+ **Requirements:** Sandalwood
	+ **Used by:** Esther has used this spell on at least two occasions. Once in *Do Not Go Gentle* to successfully hide from Bonnie's locator spell and then again in *Wheel Inside the Wheel*, while possessing the witch Lenore, to keep Elijah hidden from Klaus and his allies. In *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Klaus instructs Rebekah to find a trustworthy witch to cast a cloaking spell on Hope. Later, Rebekah finds and has an unnamed witch to cast the spell. It is mentioned later, in *The Devil is Damned*, that it was so powerful, that it would take a hundred witches to break. This was notable as Esther searched for Rebekah since her possession of Cassie and later as Lenore though could not find her directly and utilized her Starlings to find Rebekah. Finn, possessing Vincent, used numerous and varying types of locator spells, to no avail, to find Hope and ultimately took Freya's knowledge and power to find her. Davina, since *Rebirth*, established a rather powerful cloaking spell, while utilizing Esther's grimoires, to effectively hide from Esther in both of her vessels. In *Brotherhood of the Damned*, Finn (possessing Vincent) effectively blocked Davina's locator spell, presumably with an equally powerful cloaking spell. However, in *The Devil is Damned*, Freya hints that even as powerful as he was, she was still able to find him. In *Exquisite Corpse*, it's revealed that Eva would cast cloaking spells on her victims that she would kidnap and that it was powerful enough to keep witches from the nine covens from finding the witch prodigies. In *Heart Shaped Box*, it is revealed that, before her death, Madison cast a powerful cloaking spell, fueled by dark magic, on Aurora so that neither Freya nor the Sisters could locate her. In *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, Freya mentions that she cloaked her siblings to keep them hidden from Lucien, though she comments that with the Ancestors, it would only be a matter of time before the spell would be undone. In *Haunter of Ruins*, Klaus mentions that Hayley's safe house they were staying at was cloaked. As far as who cloaked the house remains elusive, meaning Hayley could have had a witch to cloak it to protect Hope or that Freya could have cloaked it upon her awakening. In *I Hear You Knocking*, after Freya bound Marcel to the same prison that held Klaus, she cloaked him to hide his presence. Additionally, in *Bag of Cobras*, Klaus mentions that Freya's spell also renders Marcel invisible to anyone outside of their bloodline. In *Queen Death*, the Hollow cloaked Elijah while she prepared his death, as a sacrifice for her resurrection spell. In *Where You Left Your Heart* and *One Wrong Turn On Bourbon*, Hope performed a cloaking spell, that she combined with a sleeping spell, on Hayley to keep her safe so that she could bring Klaus back to New Orleans. In *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*, Hope attempts to undo her cloaking spell on Hayley though Freya reveals that to do so, you have to be in the same room as her and that lifting a cloaking spell remotely has never been done in the history of witchcraft. In *What, Will, I, Have, Left*, Hope cloaked herself and Roman to hide from her aunt Freya, or anyone else, while she attempted to have the Hybrid Curse placed upon herself. She also states that the cloaking spell she placed on Hayley was specific to her as a hybrid. In *There's Always a Loophole*, when Triad Industries used a dark object created by the Travelers to block out magic at the Salvatore boarding school, the cloaking spell that Alaric had placed on his bookshelf was neutralized. Hope, Lizzie, and Josie found in its place a locked box which they'd later open to reveal the 2018 ascendant to Kai's prison world. It remains unknown who performed the cloaking spell, whether it was Bonnie, Emma, or another witch, and for how long the cloaking spell had been in place in Alaric's office.

* **Traveler Cloaking Spell:** *A powerful cloaking spell developed to hide a target even from the all-seeing Spirits of the Other Side.*
	+ **Requirements:** Traveler Magic
	+ **Used by:** Markos, or presumably his travelers, cast this spell to hide Markos so that his plans to undo the curse could be kept a secret from the Witches on the Other Side.

* **Essence Reveal Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to unveil and detect concealed mystical essences within talismans or relics.*

* **Ancestral Illusory Spell:** *The spell allows ancestral witches to project an illusion over an entire location, transforming it such that unwanted intruders perceive it to be an infinite maze and will walk in circles. However, it is seemingly not powerful enough to deceive the sire-bond as such, sired hybrids are still able to sense the location of their sires.*
	+ **Requirements:** Place of power (e.g. Lafayette Cemetery), The Ancestors
	+ **Used by:** In *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Monique, Abigail, and Genevieve in collaboration with the Ancestors performed a massive illusory spell to hide from Klaus and Elijah while they attempted to sacrifice Hope.

	+ **Used by:** In *Live and Let Die*, Davina and Kol (possessing the witch Kaleb) used this spell to cloak themselves and Mikael from Klaus, though when Davina was knocked out, the spell ended.

	+ **Incantation:** *Sin eh-tey ex avan-ha vin tan-took koh.*
	+ **Requirements:** Golem, Beating heart, Blood of target, Crushed herbs, A lit candle

	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *Beautiful Mistake*, the Moroccan Witch performed this spell upon Rebekah's Original body for the Strix to use her as leverage on Klaus and Elijah, though Aurora dispatched the Strix that was transporting her body and dumped it into the ocean.

* **Glamour Spell:** *A powerful spell that can grant a person the appearance of another. The spell is performed by obtaining the hair of the target and using it as a conduit on a poppet which serves as the anchor of the spell. The spell is activated once the poppet is dipped into blood (presumably of the person whose appearance the target is taking). Should the witch wish to remove the glamour, the poppet needs to be burned.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Kache l'nan san. Jen chèch je yo.*
	+ **Requirements:** Dozens of Candles, Bowl of Blood, Target's Hair, Voodoo Poppet, Animal Bones
	+ **Used by:** In *A Ghost Along the Mississippi*, Freya Mikaelson and Vincent Griffith performed this spell by channeling one another to grant Camille the appearance of Aurora, Tristan's sister, so she could lead Tristan into a trap, the activated Serratura.

	+ **Incantation:** *Averte oculos tuos a quo exitus. Hunc exitus ab auribos.*
	+ **Requirements:** Bennett Witch
	+ **Used by:** In *What Are You?*, Beatrice Bennett performed this spell to entrap the Siren sisters within the Armory's vault preventing them from escaping. The spell acts upon one's sight and hearing to alter the perception of the target's senses (of touch) into believing the manifestation is real. The loophole to this ingenious spell is that should one be without their vision or hearing, they would be able to walk right through the spell. The spell held the siren(s) for two centuries. In *It's Been a Hell of a Ride*, the spell that had lasted 228 years was siphoned away by Kai.

## Curses and Hexes

Curses and Hexes are powerful spells that allow witches to cause either harm or damage and even death to fall upon a victim that commonly comes with long-lasting, slowed, or delayed effects. Several are ritualistic and may require physical contact with the target, an object owned by the target, or is a part of their body such as nails, hairs, or blood. Hexes, in particular, are much more potent and have a short time before removal is impossible. Hexes start with magic, but as time progresses and they take root, they alter the very chemistry of the brain.

* **The Travelers' Curse:** *An extremely powerful curse that turns nature against a tribe of people, such as the Travelers. The curse worked by ensuring that should the Travelers ever settle down somewhere, natural disasters would ensue.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Used by:** A coven of powerful and ancient witches performed this spell 2000 years ago upon the once-powerful witches that would later become known as the Travelers. The spell massively restricted their power and kept them from ever settling down as a tribe. Markos reveals the Traveler's plight to Damon in *Man on Fire*.

* **The Werewolf Curse:** *A powerful curse that bound members of a Native American tribe of Witches to the full moon which turned them into the world's first werewolves. This enslaved them to the moon and, as such, the curse caused them to transform into the beasts that hunted the witch that cast the spell. With the curse, created the seven original packs of wolves.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Hashi nvgidgia nvasdi*
	+ **Used by:** In *Voodoo in My Blood*, with her final act utilizing her death to empower he spell, the Hollow, cast the curse on her mother and fellow tribesmen begetting the world's seven, original packs of werewolves.

	+ **Used by:** Esther, the Original Witch, performed this spell upon her son, at her husband Mikael's command, to suppress Klaus' werewolf side. Elijah reveals to Elena that Nature would not stand for such an imbalance of power, that a hybrid would be deadlier than any werewolf or vampire. Therefore the witches, the servants of nature, saw to it that the first hybrid's werewolf side would become dormant. A flashback in *Always and Forever* reveals Elijah and Mikael binding Klaus for Esther to cast the spell after his first transformation. In *Don't It Just Break Your Heart*, Freya attempted to cast this spell on Hope, who was willing to be cursed to get her mother back. As Freya was about to start the branding, Klaus appeared and stopped the ritual. In *What, Will, I, Have, Left*, an unnamed Witch working for Roman and Greta successfully performed this curse on Hayley, suppressing her werewolf nature and leaving her as nothing more than a non-original vampire.

* **The Hybrid Release Ritual:** *The spell undoes the Hybrid Curse placed on the Original Hybrid Niklaus, thereby allowing him to embrace the powers of a vampire and a werewolf after the requisite sacrifices have been completed.

* **Insanity Hex:** *A curse invoked by tracing a symbol on the victim's hand while using the power of a cursed rosary, used to induce madness. The spell will drive the victim insane to a point where they become violent and kill. If a Hex like this is allowed to set in for too long, it can no longer be reversed.

	+ **Incantation:** *O se kwe pe se.*
	+ **Requirements:** Physical contact with the victim, presumably Dark or Sacrificial Magic
	+ **Used by:** In *Sanctuary*, Finn used this spell to punish Kol for his betrayal, binding his soul to his body to die a slow, painful death.

* **Ancestral Death Curse:** *This curse allows ancestral witches, either living or dead, to condemn a target to die by magic, causing them to bleed from the eyes and mouth. This spell can be set on a countdown such as at the stroke of midnight the target. This spell is most similar to how ancestral spirits punish living witches.*

Dahlia later performed an adapted curse on the Crescent Wolf Pack at Klaus' request in *Fire with Fire*, the new spell thus incorporated Hayley's hybrid form as well causing her to lose the ability to control her shifting.

* **Maiming Curse:** *The spell allows a witch to cripple the hands of their target in addition to producing a ring of fire around them.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Per se qui e fracta toi, per se qui e total toi.*
	+ **Used by:** In *For the Next Millennium*, the Witch Elder Kara Nguyen used this spell against Davina at a meeting of the nine covens. This is presumably the same spell that Josephine LaRue's mother cast upon her hands when she was younger.

* **Stake Curse:** *A powerful curse bound to the dark object, 'The Cursed Stake', that causes its target to go insane, and become a relentless, unstoppable ripper. It activates upon the removal of its target with a physical representation of a skull mark on the victim and seemly hard to remove.*

Hope had the intention of using the spell on Landon; however, upon confronting what was initially believed as a pyromancer, a fire-breathing witch, which turned out to be a Dragon, she used the spell on the dragon's shapeshifted form. Despite the spell's use to induce death, it did not kill the unnamed dragon girl. Instead, it wounded her, causing her to shift back into her humanoid form as well as Hope briefly collapsing to the ground. In *This is What It Takes*, Hope and Alaric go to Pinky and Sons Pawn Shop in search of a supernatural artifact that Alaric believes will grant you rHope's most impossible desire. Learning what it could do, Pinky refuses and draws a gun. Likewise, Alaric draws his ballistic knife and they’re at a standstill. Hope performs this spell on Pinky and begins to die. Alaric tells her to stop, but she doesn't listen. Not wanting to kill him, he tells Pinky to run, that the spell won't work if she can't see him.

## Disenchantment and Destruction Spells

Disenchantment and Destruction spells typically unravel or destroy enchantments bound to inanimate objects. A bound object can be dispelled by either destroying the spell upon the object, thereby leaving said object intact or the object itself.

## Divination Spells

Divination spells allow witches to seek knowledge past, present, and future events or information about the unknown through supernatural means. Spells that are related to Prophecies, and the creation thereof, also deal with events of the future. They typically predict future catastrophic events, which can further shape the outcome whether through direct or indirect means. Witches can employ a variety of tools to aid them in divination that range from bones and blood to even spiritual communication.

* **Doppelgänger Prophecy Spell:** *An ancient Traveler spell that created the "doppelgänger prophecy", which caused a mystical attraction between the Petrova and the Salvatore doppelgängers in the proceeding centuries.

	+ **Incantation:** Unknown

	+ **Used by:** In *Resident Evil*, Markos, the recently resurrected leader of the Travelers reveals that he performed this spell over 1,500 years ago (5th century) on Amara and Silas' doppelgängers. The spell ensured they would continuously meet in each incarnation and make it easier for the Travelers to find the Doppelgängers for them to be used in their spells.

In *Give 'Em Hell Kid*, Freya's magic was briefly augmented, from tapping into the ancestral well of magic, and used Alexis' remains to channel and re-forecast the prophecy. Freya also remarked that she barely understood the former's power and that, even with augmented magic, she was overwhelmed because there were too many pieces of the vision and they would fade whenever she got close to something. With Elijah's help, she was able to channel the full prophecy as well as share the vision with him.

## Elemental Spells

Elemental spells allow witches to affect their surroundings by manipulation of the natural elements. The four elements fire, water, earth, and air are the most basic and can be called forth for their specific properties. Higher controls of the environment such as the weather or plant-life may require channeling Nature's energy or massive amounts of power.

* **Fire Spell:** *A spell that can create fires or ignite flammable objects such as alcohol. It is similar to the passive, non-verbal pyrokinetic power used by most witches.*

	+ **Warlock's Incantation:** *Ignarious. Ignarious!*
	+ **Josie's Second Incantation:** *Ignarious*
	+ **Josie's Third Incantation:** *Ignalusa*
	+ **Used by:** The spell was first used by Emily Bennett, while possessing Bonnie, in *History Repeating*, to destroy her talisman. She began her ritual by igniting a pentagram that she drew in the ground on fire and tossed the talisman into the air and caused it to explode. More recently, Bonnie used the variant spell against Kai by igniting a pool of alcohol surrounding him in *Welcome to Paradise*. Bonnie has since used the original (*Let Her Go*, and *Because*) and the variant (*Yellow Ledbetter* and *I'll Wed You in the Golden Summertime*) spells on numerous occasions and for various reasons. After Kai freed himself from the 1994 prison world, he used the variant spell to destroy the Ascendant in *I Alone* and attempted to burn Liv alive in *Christmas Through Your Eyes*. Valerie performed this spell to cause chaos in *Day One of Twenty-Two Thousand, Give or Take* and then again in an attempt to destroy Julian's preserved body, in *Live Through This*. In *Coming Home Was a Mistake*, Seline, a siren, had Lizzie and Josie siphon magic from her and taught them the Incendia spell. They performed it on a pile of wood and, unknowingly, to burn Georgie's corpse as a tribute to Arcadius. In *Detoured On Some Random Backwoods Path to Hell*, Seline had the twins siphon her and use the Incendia spell again as part of her ritual to summon Arcadius. In *The Lies Will Catch Up To You*, Josie attempted, though without siphoning magic, the incantation against her sister Lizzie though both Caroline and Alaric grabbed the children before the spell was finished. In *Haunter of Ruins*, Vincent used his spell in an attempt to destroy a book related to sacrificial magic, though it was protected against destruction. In *One Wrong Turn On Bourbon*, Vincent performed his second spell while Ivy performed a Tarot Card reading, to reveal the cards that would show them what the future would hold. Initially, it was the Sun, Temperance, and Chariot cards, all signs of good things to come; however, those cards soon ignited as well, revealing more sinister cards, the Hangman, Devil, and Tower cards. In *This is the Part Where You Run*, Josie, overcome with rage and revenge due to Penelope Parks breaking her heart, attacked and set her right arm on fire. Other students near her helped to smother the flame before they could spread. In *We're Being Punked, Pedro*, in 14th century, France, the Brave and Nervous Warlocks came across the supernatural knife. Upon seeing the Gargoyle, known as the guardian, the nervous warlock attempted to flee but was attacked and killed by the knife's protector. Witnessing his friend's death, the Brave Warlock attempted to incinerate the creature with fire, but it had no effect on him and the warlock perished. In *Hope is Not the Goal*, Josie used this spell, after siphoning from Rafael, to attack the Arachne and set it on fire. The spell, however, did little to harm it and only angered it. In *There's a Mummy on Main Street*, with Hope and Lizzie incapacitated by the effects of the mummy, Josie protected herself from his 'curse' and cast another fire spell. The spell formed a fireball in the palms of her hands and 'blew' the fire, creating a flamethrower-like effect, towards the monster. The spell was strong enough to incinerate the mummy to complete ash but left the Egyptian scarab and the anubian urn undamaged. In *There's Always a Loophole*, Hope used the *Incendia* spell against the Headless Horseman, though the spell did not affect him. Hope would use the *Incendia* spell once again in *This Year Will Be Different* while fighting against a "troll". Hope directed the spell against the troll and it ignited the creature's hair, which revealed that the creature was not a troll, but a cyclops. In *You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know*, Hope used the *Incendia* spell again while fighting the shunka, a creature that hunts werewolves. Unlike other instances of when the spell has been performed, Hope channeled the spell with her hand and expanded it towards the shunka in an outward radius. The spell engulfed the shunka, evening pushing the creature back several feet, though it remained unharmed by the fire. In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Lizzie, siphoning from Kaleb, uses the *Incendia* spell on the reanimated jogger in an attempt to destroy the next Malivore monster. MG tells her that they need to trap it so that Malivore can't send another monster and that incinerating it defeats the purpose. Lizzie then uses another spell to put the flames out. In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, Alyssa used the *Incendia* spell directly attacking Hope and Josie as the qareen caused discord among the witches during Coven Day. Hope stopped the spell and Lizzie siphoned from Hope to retaliate. In *Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself*, Josie used this spell to create a fireball to launch at Hope. Hope dodged the spell, and the fireball engulfed a wooden pillar, splintering it into a large wooden stake. In *We're Not Worthy*, Lizzie performs the *incendia* spell against the Green Knight. The spell engulfs the knight in a fury of flames, but leaves the monster unaffected. Josie surmises that he's immune to fire.

* **Fire Manipulation Spell:** *A spell that can decrease and/or increase the intensity of localized small to medium-sized fires. At a more advanced scale for powerful witches, it can be used to control explosions and that of large spanning fires.*
	+ **First Incantation:** *Ex Spiritum In Tacullum, En Terrum Incendium, Phasmatos Salves A Distum.*
	+ **Second Incantation:** *Phasmatos motus incendiamos!*
	+ **Used By:** In *Founder's Day*, Bonnie Bennett used this spell to diminish the flames in the basement of the Old Gilbert Building so that Stefan could save Damon. Once sensing that they got out, she brought the flames back up so that all the other vampires within could perish. In *We're Planning a June Wedding*, Bonnie used the second incantation by adapting her ancestor's Hellfire Manipulation Spell. She taught the spell to Lizzie and Josie and, together, they performed this spell to protect themselves from a huge, fiery explosion. The spell worked to prevent fire, smoke, and heat from coming near them as if they were within a magical bubble. Bonnie then directed the entire explosion and residual flames up and out of the building through the fireplace chimney.

* **Fire Extinguishing Spell:** *A minor spell used to extinguish small fires in a localized area.*
	+ **Bonnie's Incantation:** *Suctus Incendia*
	+ **Hope's Incantation:** *Adiuuatur*
	+ **Used By:** Bonnie used this spell to quench the fires set by the Darkness that engulfed her grimoires on her and Jeremy's laps in *Disturbing Behavior*. In *Into the Wild*, the witch Massak performed a similar spell to neutralize Bonnie's expression locator spell that utilized a path of fire to her located target. It is presumed that Nora and Mary Louise performed a similar spell, in *Live Through This*, as Valerie's fire spell was extinguished before Julian's body could be destroyed. In *Some People Just Want To Watch The World Burn*, Hope performed this spell to prevent the spread of fire from what was initially believed to be from a fire-breathing witch, a pyromancer; however, it was revealed to be a dragon. Hope mentions that the spell was a "quick fix" and would not last long. In *The Boy Who Still Has a Lot of Good to Do*, Hope attempted her spell for a second time when they found Landon's corpse which began to smoke and catch on fire. The spell had no effect and Landon's body burned to ash, though his body was restored similar to that of Rayna Cruz; Alaric likened it to the legend of the phoenix.

* **Ember Spell:** *A minor spell used to teach new witches to ignite objects on fire, like a line of salt.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatus Ignitium Dos Ex Salvo, Phasmatis Ignitium Dos On Salvo, Phasmatis Ignitium Dos On Salvo*

	+ **Hope's Second Incantation:** *Corrupan vinea.*
	+ **Used by:** In *Break On Through*, Bonnie Bennett performs this spell to accelerate the growth of a plant, explaining to Caroline that witches have a connection to the Earth, that they can literally feel nature and by extension life, after Abby's transition into a vampire. In *Original Sin*, Qetsiyah mentions that 2,000 years ago she created an entire garden (wedding flowers, the garden trellis, *their* harvest) for her wedding, though it started to die when she realized that Silas had betrayed her. In *When the Levee Breaks* and again in *Ashes to Ashes*, Dahlia used a similar spell to create and rapidly accelerate the growth of many dahlia vines at St. James Infirmary and at the Abattoir, respectively. Furthermore, in the former, she accelerated the growth of Aiden's rose bouquet to the point where they withered and died. In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Hope used this spell to entrap the Croatoan in vines that rapidly grew from the earth. The vines ensnared him momentarily until it freed itself. In *All's Well That Ends Well*, Hope performed the second incantation to ensnare the newest Malivore monster, a women possessed by a banshee. The spell caused a number of vines and roots to sprout from the ground and wrap around the banshee's waist, preventing her from moving from where she stood.

* **Plant Revival Spell:** *A spell used to channel Nature to revive dead vegetation.*

At that moment, she looked around and brought those flowers back to life with her magic.

	+ **Used By:** Beatrice Bennett, along with her coven, chanted as one to pull their magic to prevent the destruction of Mystic Falls when Ethan Maxwell rang the corrupted Founders Bell twelve times. Though Beatrice and the community were spared, the rest of her coven wasn't as fortunate as the fires consumed them.

She explained that the dust conducts electricity through anything it touches and, with its spread across the auditorium by Landon, a small spark would ripple through the students like chain lightning. With the spark traveling from student to student, the mind-controlling slugs from Malivore were forced from their victims' prefrontal cortex allowing the students to squish them. In *Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself*, Josie performed a stronger version of this spell while fighting Hope since Lizzie skipped out on her premature Merge Ritual. Hope, however, blocked the majority of the spell with her shield spell but was eventually overpowered by Josie's dark magic.

* **Luminescence Spell:** *A spell that conjures a ball of light in the casting witch's hand.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Post tenebras spero lucem.*
	+ **Requirements:** None
	+ **Used By:** In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Hope performed this spell while trapped in Malivore — complete darkness. The spell was lost when a vortex appeared before her, breaking her concentration, and nearly swallowed her whole, though Ryan saved her. In *Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing*, Hope, while in Josie's subconsciousness, performed this spell while looking for Josie; however she met "Pig".

* **Freeze Spell:** *A spell used to rapidly cool down a burning body or object.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Glacies corporis*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used By:** In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Lizzie siphoned Kaleb to use the *Incendia* spell to destroy the reanimated jogger. MG reasons with her that they need to trap it so that Malivore cannot send another monster through the portal and that incinerating it defeats the purpose. Lizzie then casts this spell to put the flames out which causes the "zombie" jogger to fall to the floor. In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, Lizzie attempted to freeze the mora miserium to keep it from breaking, but the spell unfortunately failed. Alaric however, believed that the spell seemed to speed up the process and that despite trying twelve different spells, this is a problem that magic can't fix.

* **Wind Torrent Spell:** *A spell used to create a torrent of wind.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Ventus*
	+ **Requirements:** None
	+ **Used By:** In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Hope used this spell to attack the Croatoan after it escaped from the vines that temporarily ensnared it. In *Long Time, No See*, Hope had dreamed of entering the prison world to save Landon. However, after her plan fails and Landon begins to choke up black blood upon Malivore's approach, she takes to the offensive. She performed this spell against Malivore, and though she was still dreaming, performed this spell within her bedroom, scaring Cleo awake.

## Enchantments

Enchantments allow witches to bind spells to inanimate objects. Thereby endowing said object with supernatural properties or changing its state. Various materials or minerals may be chosen for their existing supernatural properties to accompany different enchantments. They have proven to last until said spell or object is destroyed with Disenchantment or Destruction spells. Talismans are one such example as they are typically ordinary objects, normally jewelry, which are created to focus a witches' magic.

* **Talisman Creation Spell:** *The witch crafts together stones and herbs into a pendant while imbuing their magic into the talisman to focus and enhance their spells.*
	+ **Requirements:** Stone or Jewel
	+ **Used By:** Qetsiyah, Esther (or Ayana), Dahlia (for Freya), Valerie (presumably), Beatrice (presumably), and Emily have all crafted their own magical Talismans. Talismans can possess specific properties such as the following: Esther's was to amplify her magic and spelled with vervain to prevent compulsion for humans wearers; Dahlia's could trap the souls of blood relatives; Valerie's was imbued with and stored magic in which she could siphon from to cast spells; Beatrice's was spelled to connect living blood relatives to deceased ancestors through a "psychic" link for communication which caused those to "relive" the past for whom it was spelled.

* **Incapacitation Enchantment:** *An enchantment placed upon an object that will render the said target unable to breath eventually leaving them unconscious upon contact.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Moonstone (Object)
	+ **Used by:** In *Masquerade*, Lucy Bennett used this spell to take out Katherine to help her cousin and free herself from Katherine's debt.

* **Incapacitation Ash Spell:** *An enchantment that charges the personal item of the target with magic so that when burnt until it's ash, it will render said target unstable and unconscious upon contact.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Terra Mora Vantis, Quo Incandis.*
	+ **Requirements:** Personal item of the target, Water
	+ **Used by:** In *The Sacrifice*, Bonnie Bennett used this spell to help the Salvatore brothers successfully subdue Katherine, though Jeremy stole a portion of the ash and used it first.

* **Gilbert Enchantments:** *A spell, or multiple spells, used to enchant certain objects with mystical properties. Whether the spell used to create such enchantments are different from one another or similar remains to be seen. However, the spell can have a wide range of effects. When enchanted, the Gilbert Device, can cause a high-screeching sound capable of incapacitating vampires and werewolves when activated, though it only works once, for approximately five minutes. The Gilbert Compass allows one to detect vampires within a set location so that the needle will constantly move towards a vampire. Finally, the Gilbert Ring, is the most powerful protective enchantment that prevents the permanent death of a non-supernatural human killed by a supernatural creature.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Gilbert device, compass, ring
	+ **Used by:** In *Isobel*, a page from Emily Bennett's grimoire revealed that she created these enchantments, unbeknownst to Jonathon Gilbert. The first time the Gilbert ring was used was when Damon stabbed Alaric with a stake in *A Few Good Men*, he died and sometime later, came back to life.

* **Daylight Amulet Creation Spell:** *An enchantment placed on a piece of jewelry with a Lapis Lazuli gemstone that allows a vampire to be unharmed by the sun. The witch who casts this spell has the power to reverse the spell if they so choose.*
	+ **Directions:** The spell must be cast in the daytime where sunlight can bathe upon the Lapis Lazuli.
	+ **Requirements:** Lapis Lazuli, Sunlight
	+ **Used by:** In *Children of the Damned*, Damon wonders why Kathiner can be so calm as the Town Council is getting closer each day to finding the vampires that plagued Mystic Falls. Katherine explains that she, Pearl and Anna are respectable ladies of Mystic Falls that can walk the streets in daylight thanks to Emily Bennett. It is assumed that she made Harper's and Bethanne's rings as well. In *Blood Brothers*, Stefan wakes up in transition and finds a daylight ring on his hand. Emily tells him that Katherine had her make his and Damon's rings weeks prior to their death and subsequent transition. In *Bad Moon Rising*, Stefan explained to Bonnie that Emily made his and Damon's daylight rings and the instructions of the spell must be within her grimoire. Bonnie found the spell in Emily's Grimoire and agreed to create a ring for Caroline, who had recently transitioned into a vampire and could not leave her house due to the sunlight. Bonnie explained that, with the ring came certain rules. The witch who spells the ring has the power to de-spell the ring, so if she were to hurt another person, she'd remove the spell that allows her to walk in the sun. In *Ordinary People*, Rebekah recounts the story of the creation of the Original vampires. She explained that the sun became their enemy and it kept them indoors for weeks. That is, until Esther, their mother, found a solution, a spell that protected them and allowed them to walk in the sunlight. Esther created the rings for the Mikaelson family; her husband, Mikael, and her children. Over the few days following Abby's transition into a vampire between *All My Children* and *Break On Through*, Bonnie created a daylight ring for Abby, who was still adjusting to her new way of life. In *Growing Pains*, Bonnie once again performed this spell and created a daylight ring for Elena, who recently completed her transition into a vampire. In *Original Sin*, Qetsiyah claimed to Stefan that she would create a new daylight ring for him since Silas stole his, implying she knew the spell on how to create one. Despite this claim, she did not appear to have any necessary Lapis Lazuli. However, he eventually learned that she had lied to him as she needed to use him to neutralize Silas' mental powers and wouldn't give him the one thing that he needed to leave her cabin. In *The Big Uneasy*, Klaus gives Davina the spell to create daylight rings to gain her favor, as well as to pardon Josh, during the Fête des Bénédictions. Despite gaining the spell, she didn't create a ring for Josh until *The Battle of New Orleans*, where she pleaded for him to leave town as Marcel was planning to make a move against Klaus. Sometime after *Home* but before *I'll Remember*, Luke created Alaric's daytime bracelet. Though an Enhanced Original vampire, Alaric was recently resurrected from the imploding Other Side and still required a daylight amulet to prevent him from burning in the sunlight. In *Every Mother's Son*, Elijah insinuates that Marcel has another witch on a proverbial leash, besides Davina. Considering the newly turned vampire Gia had a daylight ring on her hand, Marcel didn't object. Instead, he sent Gia with Elijah to meet their friend, Lenore, and it's assumed that she created Gia's ring at Marcel's request. In *The World Has Turned and Left Me Here*, Luke created a daylight ring for Ivy at Stefan's request. In *Prayer For the Dying*, Josette performed this spell to create a new daylight ring for Elena after her original ring was destroyed by Kai in *Woke Up With a Monster*. After completing her transition into a vampire in *A Ghost Along the Mississippi*, Cami was given a daylight ring by Klaus, presumably created by Freya. In *An Old Friend Calls*, Kol asks Davina to create a new daylight ring for him following his resurrection in *A Streetcar Named Desire*. In *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*, Lizzie used this spell to enchant a ring for Sebastian.

	+ **Freya's Incantation:** *Leigheas brotin, leigheas brotin...*
	+ **Requirements:** Physical contact with the object
	+ **Used by:** In *Ghost World* it was revealed that Esther's Talisman restored itself, presumably enchanted by Esther herself, or her mentor Ayana, upon its creation. In *The Devil is Damned*, Kol (in possession of Kaleb) performed this spell on a destroyed runic tile, the byproduct of Freya's locator spell, to determine what she and Finn were looking for. In both cases, the objects were destroyed by fire. In *Phantomesque*, Freya restored the shattered crystal within her talisman. However, in *A Spirit Here That Won't Be Broken*, it was revealed that while the spell healed Elijah's mind, the integrity of the crystal had been compromised and began to crack once more and that, to save Elijah, he had to be resurrected, immediately within 24 hours.

* **Weapon-Binding Spell:** *An indestructible object can be created through this spell by binding it to a source of strong and protective magic that is long-lasting.*

In *Every Mother's Son*, Esther performed a non-verbal variant of this spell to disrupt Hayley's cell service. In *When the Levee Breaks*, Dahlia performed this spell a few times to cripple the communication between Hayley and her pack, preventing her from seeking help outside St. James Infirmary. In *Dead Angels*, Madison coupled this non-verbal spell with her privacy spell in Lafayette Cemetery, against Klaus. Together, she was able to silence his bellowing screams to Cami while disrupting his cell service, to prevent him from calling anyone for assistance. In *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent* Hope performed this spell to cause a record player and stringed Christmas lights to explode in an electrical burst.

* **Moonlight Amulet Creation Spell:** *An enchantment placed on a piece of jewelry with a Black Kyanite gemstone that allows a werewolf to control their transformation during a full moon as well as access their full strength.*

	+ **Used by:** Esther Mikaelson created and used the spell a thousand years ago for Ansel, her werewolf lover and Klaus' biological father, this was revealed by Klaus to Jackson in *Moon Over Bourbon Street*. A thousand years later, in *The Battle of New Orleans*, the witch Genevieve combined the spell with additional spells (for enhancing speed, strength, agility, and fangs) from Esther's grimoires and used it on Kyanite rings for twelve werewolves. Unlike Esther's spell, Genevieve's spell worked by the rings drawing strength from the Original Hybrid, Klaus, so that whenever one of the werewolves used the ring, it would weaken him. In *Alive and Kicking*, Esther, while possessing Cassie, would later use her original spell to create, and to teach the spell to other witches, the rings to control the werewolves of the Bayou. In *Keepers of the House*, Freya, like her mother before her, used this spell and crafted a moonlight ring for Keelin so that she could even the odds in a fight against a vampire.

	+ **Requirements:** Pair of willow hoops
	+ **Used by:** In *Moon Over Bourbon Street*, Genevieve used enchanted dreamcatchers to spy on Marcel and Cami. Looking in her dreamcatcher allowed her to see through the other in a different location. The enchantment was later used again by Vincent and Van Nguyen to expose Davina Claire's treachery of killing fellow witches in *Out of the Easy*.

* **Fixation Enchantment:** *A minor spell that magically binds two objects, such as a bracelet (jewelry) to the person wearing it whether they are the caster of the spell or not to prevent the object's removal.*
	+ **Requirements:** Enchanted object
	+ **Used by:** In *Live and Let Die*, Davina used this spell to prevent the forced or accidental removal of the Bracelet of Obedience by Mikael as a few days prior it came off and he nearly killed her for controlling him.

	+ **Used by:** In *Red Door*, Esther (in possession of Lenore) restricts Elijah's movements with an enchanted poppet so that she can trap him long enough to restore his memories of Tatia's murder.

* **Dark Object Creation Spell:** *Several spells fall under this category, enacted through a type of Arabian magic known as Kemiya. Such spells allow witches to imbue objects with magical abilities using a precise chemistry of science and spirit.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Lim Ala dar ala dilj.*
	+ **Requirements:** Kemiya (or other magic), Two witches, a perfect Paragon diamond, and the object in question
	+ **Used by:** Various witches of the French Quarter performed these spells throughout the last two centuries, either to avoid persecution or for help. They include: Mary-Alice Claire, Astrid Malchance, Davina Claire, and Kaleb Westphall, while possessed by Kol. In *The Originals: The Awakening*, Mary-Alice and Astrid performed this spell over numerous objects creating an arsenal of dark objects. Some of the objects created were a rosary that drives men to madness, a bracelet that forces obedience, shackles that halt a witch's power and a blade that can make a thousand cuts with one throw. While the creation of dark objects of New Orleans was orchestrated by Kol using witches learned in Kemiya, other sects of witches have created dark objects using various other spells and types of magic. One such notable example was the creation of the Blood Fountain by the Travelers, presumably using Traveler magic.

* **Transmutation Spell:** *Two witches using Kemiya, an Arabian form of witchcraft that intersects science and magic, will transmute the object that the witches are holding. The object will slowly be set on fire and as the flame consumes the object, it will then be made into pure gold.*

In *No More Heartbreaks*, Davina attempted to use a Figure Veritas on Lucien though he happily complied, to tell the truth without her need of magic. In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Hope performed this spell on Ryan. She believed he was keeping secrets from her and wanted to know why. With the spell in place, she discovered that her theory was correct. She didn't destroy Malivore because she's not a full tribrid as her vampire side has not been activated and Malivore was attempting to expel her. Malivore however wanted to torture Ryan more so than release Hope, who is "toxic" to him. In *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*, Ryan mentions the truth spell that Hope previously performed on him while they were both trapped within Malivore. Ryan tells Hope that she was wrong and that he didn't hate her, but to cover his emotions, he told her that the truth spell was still working. In *What Cupid Problem?*, Hope mentions that she performed a truth spell on Alyssa, hoping it would reveal where she magically hid the ascendant. Alyssa, however, told her that she drank an anti-charm potion, which blocked the effects of Hope's truth spell.

As the day moved on, she continued to feel the effects of the spell, so much so that she used the bracelet to shock the slug-like creature from Josie. Despite the spelled bracelet, she concluded that people already viewed her as a mean person and she should permanently unleash her personality and not try to change. The enchantment is engraved upon the bracelet.

* **Reverse Kyanite Ring Creation Spell:** *An enchantment placed on a piece of jewelry with a Black Kyanite gemstone that allows a werewolf to transform into their wolf form without the need of a full moon. Once the ring is worn, however, the werewolf will not be able to turn back.*

The sword also glows around any supernatural being, in which Kurutta used to track the oni. The spell was cast a number of years before 1308, by an unknown witch using black magic presumably in Mutsu Province Japan, as Kurutta spent that time housing the demon as it could not fully control his broken mind. In 1308, Kurutta encountered Malivore and was consumed. The spell on the sword was siphoned by Josie in 2028 and she used the black magic to undo the oni's possession of Lizzie.

* **Labyrinthine Enchantment:** *A powerful enchantment placed a piece of jewelry to act as a sort of prison.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Bracelet
	+ **Used By:** In *Screw Endgame*, the Keeper recounts how the woman before her told her how centuries ago, the labyrinth was created to by a sorcerer to punish a beautiful maiden who refused his affections, just because she didn't exist *just* for him and she was punished "forever." The labyrinth was specifically designed to kill beautiful maidens, though they'll not permanently die. Maidens that are trapped within the labyrinth will play the "game" until the Keeper's "pet", a minotaur, finds and feeds on them, at which point they're dead for real. The only other way for Keepers to escape is to trade places with another maiden that they trap. When a new maiden accepts the deal, the bracelet that traps the maidens and binds the Keeper to the labyrinth will also protect them from the minotaur. Should the bracelet be destroyed, the labyrinth will persist and the minotaur will then go after the Keeper to kill her. Despite being spelled, the bracelet was extremely fragile and was destroyed by Lizzie by smashing it with an 80s-style phone. Hope and Lizzie, however, found another way out when they killed the minotaur, which also freed the Keeper.

The newly created dark object holds the power to transfer the consciousness of one person into another vessel — to become them and their species. Ryan wanted to transfer his consciousness into Hope to become a tribrid to destroy his father. To activate the dark object's effect, Ryan cut his hand and the next person he cut with it, his consciousness would be transferred to them.

	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown.*
	+ **Used by:** In *You Can't Save Them All*, Hope mentions that Alyssa placed this spell on the ascendant, so that every time she repaired it, it would just break again. She also tells Landon that she can't just unspell it.

## Immortality and Creation Spells

Immortality spells allow witches to alter the age of living beings to the point of an indefinite lifespan. Witches, as servants of Nature, cannot become immortal and practice their witchcraft and may instead use age-altering spells to extend their lifespans beyond normal means. In some instances, immortality spells concurrently result in the creation of new immortal species. Immortal beings, however, are a direct violation of Nature's rule that all living things must die; therefore, there are consequences that act as a balance, a loophole that can undo such magic. For example, the creation of immortals resulted in the creation of doppelgängers as a balance, whereas the binding ingredients for the creation of vampires became their greatest weaknesses.

Creation spells, oftentimes coupled with various forms of immortality, result in new supernatural beings. The Brotherhood of the Five and the Huntress were supernaturally gifted vampire hunters, the latter of which also aged much more slowly and had multiple lifespans. Neither, however, were immortal, unlike Malivore, which was created as a supernatural golem to wipe out and contain other supernatural creatures.

* **The Immortality Spell:** *One of the most powerful spells in history as well as one of the greatest achievements in the history of witchcraft. The spell allowed one to transcend death in the form of an elixir. When drunk, the recipient of the spell becomes a true immortal with peak physical conditioning and enhanced psychic abilities. Being a violation of nature's laws, mortal doppelgängers would be created as a consequence to be a version that can die.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Unknown
	+ **Used by:** In *Original Sin*, Qetsiyah reveals the truth surrounding the myth of the Immortality spell. She performed the spell over 2000 years ago which was intended for her then fiancé, Silas, and herself to drink at their wedding. However, he stole the elixir and He and Amara drank the potion in an act of betrayal. They would become the world's first true Immortals, with Silas also losing access to this magic.

* **The Cure for Immortality:** *A powerful spell that crafted the only known elixir to cure true immortality, as well as various other forms such as vampirism, and render an immortal being vulnerable to death.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Unknown
	+ **Used by:** In *Original Sin*, Qetsiyah recounts how in 1st century B.C. she created the Cure as a means to undo her Immortality spell after she found out that Silas betrayed her. While she had two elixirs for immortality, she only created one cure, as she desiccated Amara and used her to bind the Other Side.

* **Original Vampire Creation Spell:** *A modified version of Qetsiyah's immortality spell which, unlike it's older counterpart, worked ritualistically to create the first vampires — the Original vampires. The spell made its targets completely immortal, except to the object that was called upon for their immortality, the White Oak. The spell also made them physically superior to werewolves in every aspect; such as enhanced speed, strength, agility, and fangs. However, Nature provided every weakness to their strengths, affecting more so their vampire descendants to the point of fatality. The spell was also interwoven with a linking spell so that if the Original sire was destroyed, so would their sireline.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Spirit or Dark Magic, The Sun / Celestial Event (Full Moon; possibly), White Oak Tree (or Human life-link), Doppelgänger blood, Death of targets, Blood (to complete transition),
	+ **Used by:** Esther created and used this complex, multifaceted spell on her children to protect them from their village's werewolves, spawning the first ever vampires in history. Esther drew from the sun for life, the White Oak Tree, one of nature's eternal objects, for immortality, and blood from Amara's *doppelgänger*, Tatia. Rebekah recounts the spell that created them in *Ordinary People* to Elena. Interestingly, when Esther first created the spell and utilized the sun for life, seemingly, the sun was not necessarily a requirement to reverse her spell, as she had planned to channel the power of a full moon. Esther performed this spell for a second time upon Alaric in *Do Not Go Gentle*, turning him into an Enhanced Original Vampire, though she learned from her previous mistake and bound Alaric's life to that of Elena's. In *The Battle of New Orleans*, while Genevieve crafted Klaus' the Moonlight rings, Klaus confirms that Esther had crafted several spells in preparation to turn her children immortal; among them being spells for enhanced speed, strength, agility, and fangs. Additionally, in *Red Door*, Davina studied Esther's Grimoires, combining her knotting spell with her sire-bond spell as she attempted to reverse engineer the sire link. In *Heart Shaped Box*, Kol confirms that *the sire link is a facet of her most powerful spell used to protect those she loved most*, so that should her children be threatened, their sirelings would aid and protect them, at least to ensure their own survival. Ayana's warning, that performing the spell was *the making of a plague*, is likely what prompted Esther to incorporate this into her spell. In total, Esther combined and incorporated at least six different, individual spells to create vampires, not to mention the objects she called upon for additional power. To date, this is the most complex spell ever performed. This is again demonstrated in *Behind the Black Horizon*, as it took an entire coven of an indeterminate size, "ages" to reverse-engineer for Lucien to modify. Davina, even with Esther's Grimoires at her side along with Kol, took several years just to reverse-engineer one aspect of the spell, the sire link.

* **Enhanced Original Vampire Creation Spell:** *Esther modified her original spell to create an "Enhanced" Original vampire to eradicate the Original vampires. Esther, however, added a new facet to the spell, a human life-link so that once the task was complete, the final vampire would be able to perish.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Dark Magic, The Sun, Elena's Blood (as a Human life-link) / Doppelgänger blood, Death of target, Blood (to complete transition),
	+ **Used by:** Esther performed this spell for a second time upon Alaric in *Do Not Go Gentle*, turning him into an Enhanced Original Vampire, though she learned from her previous mistake and bound Alaric's newly immortal life to that of Elena's human life. Should she die, so would he.

* **Hunter Creation Spell:** *The complex spell turned its targets into immortal-opposing supernatural hunters, bestowing upon them several unique abilities and attributes. On the original members, the Hunter's Mark was a map to the Cure in the form of a body tattoo. They were supernaturally endowed peak physical conditioning, an invulnerable mind to psychic abilities to combat Silas, and a blood lust to kill immortal beings, such as vampires. Upon being slain by those which they hunt, the Hunter's Curse would activate and psychologically torment their murderers until their own demise. This status could also be passed on to other humans known as "Potentials". How potentials were chosen remains unknown, though they would also inherit the mark upon their predecessor's death. Unlike the original members, the mark would only grow with each kill of an immortal being, i.e. vampires and Originals.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos Sintu Corpora, E It A Rero, Quest Ero Immortalis. Phasmatos, Victoris, E Insipio Exu Ne Moris. Sintasia Sintu Corpora, Quest Ero Immortalis.*
	+ **Requirements:** Targets, Storm (lightning), Fire, Ceremonial Jug
	+ **Used by:** In *The Five*, Alexander recounts the Five's creation of how the were bound by fire in the last breath of a dying Bennett witch in the 12th Century. The witch performed this spell to create the Brotherhood of the Five for a single purpose: to oppose Silas and destroy vampires. It is presumed that Qetsiyah communicated with her from the Other Side, as it has been shown that most Bennett Witches have communed with the Spirits, guiding her to their creation. This is based on the claim that she made to Stefan in *Original Sin*, stating that *[her] hunters have failed in their task to kill Silas*.

* **Huntress Creation Spell:** *The spell turned its target into a self-resurrecting huntress linked to the vampire trapping, phoenix stone. Due to the link, Rayna has a metaphysical connection to all of her targets that lets her see what they are seeing. The Huntress was bestowed 8 lives intertwined with great longevity, extraordinary physical strength, increasing with each new life, a blood lust to kill vampires and an immunity to magic. A failsafe was instilled such that any immortal with the mark of the phoenix sword will die when Rayna's last life is over.*
	+ **The Shaman's Plea:** *Hear me, great spirit, hear me. We call upon you in this moment of need. We bring you an offering. A woman who desires justice for herself, for our tribe. Drink. She drinks the tea of protection so that she may be strong and so that no magic may touch her. She accepts our singular lives, so that she may have many. She wields a weapon of judgment, one that thirsts for the blood of those that prey upon us. Link her spirit with this sword. This blade draws blood from a vampire. It will connect you. It will guide you. It will aid you in their destruction.*
	+ **Requirements:** Tea of protection, Eight Shamans, Shaman Dagger, Fire, Phoenix Stone
	+ **Used by:** In *This Woman's Work*, in 1857 a group of shamans, The Eight Everlastings, bestowed this power upon Rayna to oppose vampires.

* **Longevity Spell:** *A spell used by witches of old in conjunction with various unknown herbs to delay their aging process, extending their life greatly. However, age will eventually catch up with them.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Unknown Herbs
	+ **Used by:** In *The End of the Affair*, Gloria a powerful 'old-school voodoo' witch was able to use herbs along with this spell to slow down the aging process. She slowed her aging down such that she was over 100 years old despite being no more that 40 years old biologically. In *We'll Always Have Bourbon Street*, another witch whom was from New Orleans, Nandi LaMarche was capable of slowing her own aging such that she was meant to be more than 80 years old yet did not look more than 50 years old. In *One Wrong Turn On Bourbon*, when Klaus mentions that the years have been kind to Freya. In turn, she responds that sunblock, love, and *literal witchcraft* were the reason.

* **Immortality Slumber Spell:** *A powerful ritual that allows witches to reach a form of pseudo-immortality, without being left powerless as a balance. The spell functions by placing the witch into a deep slumber that would last a century, arresting all biological functions besides the growth of the witch's magic. The witch would then awake, but is allotted only but a single year to walk the Earth before the cycle repeats itself. It is worth nothing that during their century slumber, the witch cannot be killed or harmed and during their year of life, the witch would remain immortal in all ways.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Magi somn et immortalis. Binde oss.*
	+ **Requirements:** Runic Symbols, Circle of Salt
	+ **Used by:** In *Save My Soul*, Dahlia placed this spell on herself and her niece Freya, in hopes that they would become the world's most powerful witches, as well as to achieve the closest thing to immortality without losing her magic.

* **Immortality Slumber Reversal Spell:** *A powerful binding spell that can be used to undo a spell which grants witches longevity, invulnerability and heightened magic at the price of being alive for one year per century using their three sources of power, to create a weakness. The spell can be bound to different forms such to a weapon or to a certain location, creating a killing ground where said witch would be rendered mortal.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Drende moral associeres. Drende moral associeres.*
	+ **Requirements:** Soil from witch's homeland, Blood of the witch they loved most, Ash of witch's oppressors, Ring of salt (Weapon), Sage (Killing Ground)
	+ **Used by:** In *Night Has A Thousand Eyes*, Davina used this spell to bind Dahlia's weaknesses (that which linked her to the mortal coil, the source of her hatred and that which broke her heart) to a small dagger. In *City Beneath The Sea*, Freya used the spell to bind Dahlia's weaknesses to the Compound, creating a killing ground, where Dahlia could then be rendered mortal. In *Fire with Fire*, Freya bound the ingredients to kill Dahlia to their father's knife.

* **Upgraded Original Vampire Creation Spell:** *A modified version of Esther's Original vampire creation spell that created a superior, rather an Upgraded Original vampire. The spell was reverse-engineered by a coven of witches that would create an elixir that would turn its target into an immortal hybrid-like Original vampire with fangs laced with a new strain of werewolf venom that would even kill an Original vampire.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Filia maximo. Filia maximo. morsus, morsus, morsus, morsus, morsus, morsus. advenio donec duo est revertus mors...*
	+ **Requirements:** Blood of Mikaelson Witch, Seven types of Werewolf Venom, White Oak, Massive Source of Power, Death of Target, Dark / Ancestral Magic
	+ **Used by:** In *Behind the Black Horizon*, Vincent as Regent to the Nine Covens of New Orleans was forced by the Ancestors to turn Lucien into the 'Beast' of prophecy whom he made the deal in exchange to destroy the Mikaelson Family. Interestingly, in *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, Vincent comments that the spell was performed with "some ugly magic that only the spirits have access to."

* **Upgraded Original Vampire Creation Reversal Spell:** *A powerful spell that is able to undo the effects of the Upgraded Original vampire creation spell; the spell will turn an Upgraded Original vampire back into a regular vampire.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Anular forte é les forte a las.*
	+ **Requirements:** Mikaelson Witch, Magic that Powered the Original Spell (i.e. Ancestral Magic), The Beast
	+ **Used by:** In *No More Heartbreaks*, Freya, begins to use Lucien's blood as a means to figure out how to undo the spell that created him. In *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, using Esther's Grimoires, Freya was able to create the reversal spell needed to undo Lucien's transformation into an Upgraded Original vampire. Esther's grimoire states that a witch who creates a new supernatural species (i.e. Esther and the creation of vampires) is the only witch who can reverse the spell. Even though Vincent originally cast the spell, the magic he used was given to him by the Ancestral spirits, meaning that their power, not the casting witch, was needed to cast the reversal spell. In *Where Nothing Stays Buried* Freya was successful in casting the reversal spell when she forcibly took ancestral magic from the Ancestors through Davina.

* **Golem Creation Spell:** *A powerful spell using black magic to create an immortal golem from mud, capable of consuming any supernatural or human being into an endless space inside itself. Furthermore, the creation spell was interwoven with a spell to cause insatiable hunger and another to wipe the memories of the aforementioned beings it's consumed from the collective consciousness. The Necromancer refers to the spell as "the Triad Spell".*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Black Magic, Mud
	+ **Used by:** In *I'll Tell You a Story*, Ryan Clarke recounts the creation of the golem called Malivore. Around a millennia ago, dragons, terrifying monsters that ravaged the region, remained unmatched by any of the other factions on their own. However, an unholy alliance was formed between a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire; the triad. Together they combined their blood and the witch using black magic, created an 'immortal' golem capable of consuming the dragons. Since they were responsible for the creation of the golem, the spell made it unable to harm other witches, werewolves, or vampires. Spelling the golem to have an insatiable hunger, it continued to consume every monster it could, swallowing them into an endless space inside itself. Ryan also states that since they were the ones who created him, only they could destroy him. All they needed to do was wipe away the symbol on his forehead. However, before this could happen, Malivore betrayed his creators by making a deal with all the humans he'd saved. Over time, he realized he was alone and fashioned beings like him, his "children", though they were imperfect, flawed, and none of them had his powers, though all of them had weaknesses. The golems were also sterile and unable to reproduce to continue his legacy. He was created to be the only one of his kind and never intended to be a species with his own "bloodline". In *You Can't Save Them All*, having discovered that memories of someone, i.e. Kai was missing, Josie mentions that she's felt the spell affecting her mind before. To restore the missing memories, she purged her, Jade's and Alaric's minds of the undue supernatural influence. In *Goodbyes Sure Do Suck*, the Necromancer reveals to Alyssa that he intends to raise Malivore with the Triad spell, however, he will rewrite the spell so that Malivore will serve him, instead of the Triad, and be his servant forever. In *Hold on Tight*, the Necromancer began his evil plan to raise Malivore. He began at Mystic Falls High School. He consecrated the space, tethering the grounds to another dimension, preparing it to become a Repository Monstrum. With a blood sacrifice, he drew out an omega symbol on to the floor and, inside, the Triad symbol to overwrite control of Malivore. However, to continue the spell, it required far more blood than he had at his disposal and intended to use the school, teeming with human beings, as sacrifices. While the Necromancer prepared the school, Alyssa continued with the spell at the Salvatore Crypt with the Malivore pit and the Necromancer's grimoire. The pit already contained Rafael's werewolf blood and she added her witch blood. But once she added MG's vampiric blood, her spell would be way more powerful than the first one. It had to be because Malivore needs to serve the Necromancer. The spell, however, would require a sacrifice and would eventually kill MG. He would grow weaker with every monster raised from Malivore until he died. After Malivore was raised, the mark on his forehead changed to the omega symbol as opposed to the original mark of Triad. The spell and its modifications are contained within the Necromancer's grimoire. After Malivore's death and resurrection in the prison world, he no longer has a symbol on his forehead.

* **Golem Dissolution Spell:** *A powerful spell that is able to alter the effects of the Golem Creation Spell; the spell uses black magic to trap and dissolve the golem back into its natural state, a black pit. The spell however, only binds the immortal golem and does not destroy it.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Knife, Urn, and Chalice; Eleven witches and black magic
	+ **Used by:** In *I'll Tell You a Story*, Ryan Clarke recounts the binding of the golem called Malivore. After Malivore created Ryan, he grew to despise his creation; Ryan was clay pretending to be something he wasn't and as a result Malivore threw him away like all his other failures who came before. Ryan betrayed Malivore and told the humans of the descendant of his original worshipers how he was violating Nature, trying to birth a new species. The humans paid witches who used black magic to trap and dissolve him, to return him to his natural state. The witches used three artifacts, a knife, an urn, and a chalice, to bind the immortal golem to his dissolved form, unable to be unlocked except by Malivore's blood.

* **Consciousness Golem Creation Spell:** *A spell using black magic to give a person's consciousness solid form.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Black Magic, Prism, Target, Trident
	+ **Used by:** In *It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough*, Josie devises a plan to close the portal to Malivore in Mystic Falls and consult with Professor Vardemus, unbeknownst to her he was actually Ryan Clarke in a magical disguise. With Ryan's tutelage she and Landon created "Simulandon". Using the prism and a trident given to her by Ryan, Landon manifested his subconscious and then Josie gave it form — she turned him into a golem. The newly formed golem had the prism embedded within his chest that glowed bright white. The trident was used to bind the mind, body and spirit of Simulandon in conjunction with a spell using black magic. Josie, however, bound him to the lunar cycle so when the moon reaches its apex the following night, he'll disintegrate. Josie and Landon planned to use Simulandon as a decoy, by pumping Simulandon with Hope's blood and sending him through the portal to close it. Malivore won't be able to send him back, as he'll disintegrate, and the portal will remain closed.

## Invocations and Cleansing

Invocations allow witches to call on spiritual beings, namely witch spirits, to be granted vast amounts of power, should they be willing, and protection. They may come in the form of spells or rituals used to commune with the dead or, occasionally, to summon the living. For New Orleans specifically, acts of consecration "bless" deceased witches into a separate purgatorial domain, the Ancestral Plane, so that the witch's magic continues to fuel the community and their living descendants.

Spells related to Cleansing and Purification typically occur after an occurrence with said spiritual beings, especially if they are associated with darkness or dark magic that can infect or possess another being. They can also be used to purge spiritual 'infections' that corrupt individuals.

* **Spirit Harnessing Spell:** *A spell that can charge a witch with a large amount of power and focus it into said witch by invoking the Spirits. The spell is cast at a site where many witches have met violent deaths. Provided their willingness to grant such power, said witch has to focus on her intention and agree to their terms.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Sa vas est cure est vos facultas...*
	+ **Requirements:** Site where a number of witches have met with violent deaths, Spirit Magic
	+ **Used by:** In *Know Thy Enemy*, the witches spirits of the Witch Burial Ground performed this spell to grant Bonnie Bennett the use of their magic as she focused her magic. As they began to chant, she was overwhelmed with pain and cried out. Jeremy attempted to help and go to her, though they used telekinesis to prevent him from reaching her. Once the spell subsided, Bonnie's pain ceased and was empowered by the magic of the 100 dead witches.

* **Séance Spell:** *A spell used to contact the spirits from the Other Side. Powerful witches are able to seek out specific spirits and may in turn, be possessed by them. In that respect, a witch acts much like a medium and allows said spirit to interact with the physical plane.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos Manex, Un Domo Hax, Fero Adiuvex.*
	+ **Requirements:** Candles
	+ **Used by:** In *History Repeating*, Bonnie Bennett first used it to contact her ancestor, Emily, to inquire about her Talisman. In *As I Lay Dying*, She used it once more to contact Emily, requested by Stefan, to inquire about whether there was a cure for a werewolf bite.

* **Expression-Cleansing Spell:** *A spell used by a coven of witches, minimum of 12, that invokes the spirits of nature to cleanse a witch of Expression. Said witch needs to be a willing party as part of the ritual involves her calling out to the spirits (with the incantation) as well. However, doing so causes a lot of pain as the practice of Expression rejects the spirits.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos tribum nos ex viris. Purgo animum suo pura obscurus. Phasmatos, repellus tantium malum, scanum animum an par vas.*
	+ **Requirements:** Coven (min. 12) of witches linked as one / Spirit Magic
	+ **Used by:** In *Because the Night*, the spell was performed by Aja and her coven in an attempt to cleanse Bonnie Bennett of Expression Magic.

* **Channeling the Ancestors:** *Different rituals and invocations used to invoke the Ancestral spirits, commune with them and channel their collective power and will.*
	+ **Davina, Monique, and Abigail's Spell:** *This spell is commonly used by the Harvest Girls to commune with the Ancestors. Each Harvest Witch will take a different position: one will do a handstand, one will be sprawled/contorted against the wall and the other would be laying on the ground.*
		- **Incantation:** *Vie dans des ancêtres, renforcer noblesse. Comme des ancêtres, de coeur noblesse. Décider on de ancêtres, garder noblesse.*

		- **Incantation:** *C'est cette nouveau vie, nouveau âme mélange avec nous.*
		- **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic. The spell is performed by crunching a handful of herbs, laying out a witch's personal object and sprinkling salt on the altar. However, more witches can use this spell without any of the formerly mentioned necessities.
		- **Used By:** In *A Closer Walk With Thee*, Genevieve performed this spell to contact the Ancestors, specifically the Leader. She pleaded for another way to appease them and not to turn her into a monster; to sacrifice baby Hope. The Ancestors forced her compliance by throwing her across the cemetery and performed a pain infliction spell on her until she agreed to their terms. In *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Genevieve, Monique, and Abigail performed this spell as they were preparing to sacrifice Hope. Seemingly, it was to contact and bring them to the cemetery within the Ancestral Plane as after the arrival of the Originals, the Harvest Girls called upon their collective power to attack Klaus, Hayley and Elijah.
	+ **Sophie and Katie's Spell:** *This spell is used to charge a witch with a large amount of ancestral power and focus it into one or more ancestral witch by invoking the Ancestors.The spell is cast in the cemetery where the ancestors are buried, by sprinkling salt on an altar and focusing on her intention.*

* **Rite of Consecration:** *A ritual to prepare a deceased witch's body so that they may join their Ancestors within the Ancestral Plane. In doing so, their magic will flow back into the Earth, fueling the witch community. This particular funeral rite is practiced by the Nine Covens of New Orleans. Presumably, other cultures that practice Ancestral Magic perform similar rites.*

	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic, White robes or shrouds, rose petals, oil and blessed water, sage, torches or incense
	+ **Used by:** In *Always and Forever*, Sophie performed her sister's consecration when she was murdered, for practicing magic, by Marcel. In *Tangled Up In Blue*, Sophie would also perform Katie's consecration after she was killed by Klaus. In *Sinners and Saints*, Sophie, with Rebekah and Hayley's help, collected the bodies of fellow witches from the bayou so that she could consecrate them. In *Après Moi, Le Déluge*, Sophie attempted to consecrate Céleste's bones, though there was no magic to flow back into the Earth, as she was possessing the witch Sabine. Needing a witch to consecrate in order for Sophie to become an Elder, the Mikaelsons agreed to allow Esther, their mother, to be consecrated. This was accomplished through an elaborate ritual via Hayley, and by extension Hope, of owning New Orleans property, thereby having the consecration on New Orleans soil. In *Long Way Back From Hell*, Monique consecrates her Aunt Sophie after killing her the night prior for her lack of faith in the Ancestors. Some time during or after *I Love You, Goodbye*, Rebekah, presumably with Davina's assistance consecrates Kaleb Westphall who housed Kol's spirit, both of which joined the Ancestors. In *You Hung the Moon*, the consecration of twelve Versailles witches from the Ninth Ward was overseen by their loved ones and Davina, current Regent. In *Dead Angels*, Davina consecrated Ariane's body, though not a native to New Orleans and was granted sanctuary in the Ancestral Plane. In *Where Nothing Stays Buried*, Vincent consecrated Davina's body in their attempt to resurrect her.

* **Calling Spell:** *The spell's true purpose is unknown though it can be assumed it was an invocation of the Ancestors, due to the whispering voices surrounding the witch casting the spell.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Attendez notre appel.*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic
	+ **Used by:** In *Le Grand Guignol*, Monique used this spell while lying in the cemetery to commune with Ancestors.

* **The Magic Purification Spell:** *The most powerful Traveler spell which serves as the means to break their curse by destroying "impure" forms of magic (i.e. any form of magic other than Traditional Magic). Once the spell begins, it will spread and unbind the "impure" magic, layer by layer until no other magic remains. The only known loophole to stop the spell is by killing one of the last two doppelgängers.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Zah Pet Par Veet Eezol Ehmit Pro Kleh Et Tee.*
	+ **Requirements:** The spell will start with dozens of bodies inhabited by the Travelers as they all, through ingestion of the combined doppelgänger blood, start chanting. As they chant, their human vessels slowly die from blood loss. As the spell begins to spread, all existing forms of spirit magic will be stripped away, layer by layer, together with all other forms of magic deemed unnatural by the Travelers. This process will continue until all forms of magic have been reversed completely.
	+ **Used By:** In *Promised Land* Markos' Travelers began the spell to remove all forms of Magic and leave behind only pure magic; Traditional Magic. Given the function of the spell, various effects will occur. Given that they were created with dark magic, the spell will result in the extinction of vampires and hybrids. The spell will reverse the effects of vampirism, ultimately returning them human and to their last state of being, which was death. The spell will also reverse the effects of lycanthropy, i.e. removing their triggered-werewolf abilities and return them to their untriggered states. The spell, however, will not remove the werewolf curse in its entirety, meaning that the curse can be triggered again. As the spell spreads, it will "purify" and neutralize all "impure" forms of witchcraft, such as dark or Spirit Magic. This will, seemingly, disempower witches who solely practice non-traditional or non-pure forms of magic, though it would not prevent witches from utilizing Traditional Magic. It will also break the Travelers' Curse, a two-millennium old curse, restoring their access to Traditional Magic with the intention of Travelers becoming the powerful coven of witches they were 2,000 years ago. It should also be noted that with the Magic Purification Spell, previously resurrected individuals such as Alaric, while stripped of his vampirism, continued to live, meaning that the magic that resurrected him countless times before (Emily Bennett's spelled Gilbert Ring) remained unaffected. It could be perhaps that the magic used to create this enchantment was pure, as deemed by the Travelers, or that the magic of a resurrection spell does not persist once the individual has been fully revived.

* **Defense Spell:** *A powerful spell primarily that allows ancestral witches to call on the entire collective power of the Ancestors. However, if death occurs in one of the witches performing the spell, the collective power of the Ancestors will fade.*
	+ **Incantation:** *La mère, le père, le frère, la sœur.*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic, Place of power / Within the City of the Dead
	+ **Used by:** In *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Monique Deveraux and Abigail used this spell in their confrontation with the Originals and Hayley, which allowed them to easily subdue all of the Originals.

* **Bird Calling Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to call forth flocks of birds through a series of gestures. Tremors would occur before hundreds of birds come flying, directed by the witch.*
	+ **Used by:** In *Every Mother's Son*, Esther Mikaelson used this spell to control hundreds, if not thousands, of starlings to do her bidding.

* **Bracelet of Obedience Summoning Spell:** *The spell that will summon a certain person bound and/or controlled by the bracelet of obedience.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Jwenn mwen vennez ça maintenant.*
	+ **Requirements:** The Bracelet of Obedience
	+ **Used by:** In *Alive and Kicking*, Davina used this spell to summon Mikael to her rescue upon being attacked by a pack of werewolves.

* **Spiritual Communion Spell:** *The spell will allow a witch to commune with an object bound spirit, making them appear in spirit form only to the caster.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Trette che che che nunc que fra huset quanti nede dom mina...*
	+ **Requirements:** Object or talisman that the spirit resides.
	+ **Used By:** In *The Other Girl in New Orleans*, Freya used this spell to speak to her brother Finn, whom she trapped his soul into her talisman.

* **Revelation Spell:** *The spell can be used to reveal cloaked entities, shielded with dark magic.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Revele votre vrai soi.*
	+ **Used By:** In *No Quarter*, Vincent attempted this spell to unveil a dark entity though his magic paled in comparison and the only thing that was revealed was a symbol.

* **Cleansing Spell:** *The spell can be used to cleanse a person of dark magic, possession or to break a link from a target to a totem.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Nettoyer timoun sa yo.*
	+ **Used By:** In *No Quarter*, Vincent performed this spell as a ritualistic action, using sage and other items to purify himself after coming into contact with an unknown, dark entity. In *Haunter of Ruins*, Vincent performed this spell on Adam Folsom and three other witch children to break the unknown dark witch's spell that he set into motion on them. Vincent also recounts how he and two additional witches attempted the cleansing spell on Eva, though it failed and, presumably, in the process or through her use of sacrificial magic, she lost her unborn child. In *Keepers of the House*, Vincent performed this spell on Hope, after they returned to New Orleans. However, the spell seemed to make her worse though, seemingly this was the result of the spell that was placed on the four other children in an attempt to Anchor the Hollow to the sacrifices.

* **Purification Spell:** *The spell can be used to purify the mind infected with dark magic or that of possession. Should the "infection" be deeply rooted, the spell can fail. Various forms of this spell exist as it can be chanted freely as a spell, be enchanted upon beads or other objects, or be brewed into a potion.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Reinigen monde tavo veneno.*
	+ **Used By:** In *I Hear You Knocking*, the Hollow caused Klaus to hallucinate Freya to perform this spell. The Hollow then claimed that the only way to break the link, once the spell failed, was to destroy the target of the spell, Marcel. Dominic used a similar spell to enchant prayer beads, some he had for himself, and another set he had to enchant for Marcel. Dominic claimed that enchanted beads, planted where the first manifestation occurred, would break the link. Freya concocted a purification potion that she originally planned to purify Klaus and Marcel though Klaus believed he could use the link to peer back at the Hollow. After the Hollow manifested itself as a shadow, she threw the potion at it and, seemingly, caused the spirit to retreat.

* **Summoning Spell:** *The spell that will telekinetically summon a certain person to the casting witch.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown.*
	+ **Requirements:** None
	+ **Used by:** In *This is the Part Where You Run*, Josie performed this spell to free Landon from within the werewolf transformation cell and to bring him from the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted, through the woods to their party. It is implied that Josie created or just learned this spell as she was worried that she bruised Landon and that she was still working out the kinks.

* **Astral-Summoning Spell:** *A combination of a summoning spell and astral projection, tied to a personal object, such as a ring, as to summon a person to a location.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown.*
	+ **Requirements:** Personal object (ring)
	+ **Used by:** In *Malivore*, Bonnie performed this spell for Dorain by combining a summoning spell with an astral projection spell on a ring so that the unnamed dryad could reunite with her former lover, Oliver. The spell summoned forth Oliver's astral body in a physical enough form so that he could hold the necklace bound ring in his hands.

* **Croatoan Summoning Spell:** *A spell used to create or summon a croatoan.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown.*
	+ **Requirements:** Personal object (from the casting witch)
	+ **Used by:** In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Sebastian recalls how his lover, a witch named Cassandra, summoned something worse than Sebastian. Something that would ferret out the lies of the Puritan hypocrites were concealing from the rest of the village and to keep them from finding Sebastian. The spell worked too well and wiped everyone out, including Cassandra, who was keeping Sebastian's secret, before she could dispel it.

* **Croatoan Dispelling Spell:** *A spell used to dispel a croatoan.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Finis habentis maleficia.*
	+ **Requirements:** Personal object (from the casting witch)
	+ **Used by:** In *That's Nothing I Had to Remember*, Hope used Cassandra's necklace that she gave Sebastian to dispel the croatoan. After the spell was cast, it was rendered into a puddle of blue-black goo.

* **Psychopomp Summoning Spell:** *A spell used to summon a psychopomp.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown.*
	+ **Requirements:** Dark Magic (presumably)
	+ **Used by:** In *Long Time, No See*, Cleo came up with an alternative method in the hopes of rescuing Landon from the prison world. Upon her studies, she thought that a psychopomp, a creature capable of traversing dimensional planes would prove useful. Specifically, in Greek myth, Charon, the Ferryman would carry souls across the River Styx if his bounty was paid. Cleo believed if the right price was paid, Charon could bring him back, and not just his soul. While Kaleb was skeptical, Cleo was certain that there were spells capable of summoning what the school considers monsters. This led him to believe that such a spell would require dark magic, something that the school doesn't allow or practice. Cleo, however, doesn't believe that magic is *good* or *bad*, and that it's about intention. Despite their conversation, Cleo presumably uses dark magic and summons Charon within her consecrated space, though she notes that the spell was much more taxing than she initially believed and fell nearly unconscious with a nose bleed.

## Linking Spells

Linking spells allow witches to establish a magical bond between two or more people, connecting mind, body, soul or even life force. Blood is often used to perform linking spells as it aids in strengthening the connection between the people that are being bonded together. Unlinking spells servers that bond, voiding the connection.

* **Linking Spell:** *The spell is used to link two or more beings together, such that any harm comes to one, it is also inflicted upon the other(s). The spell can be used to link similar species, i.e. witch to another witch, or to different species, i.e. human to vampire.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Spirit Magic (varies per spell)
	+ **Used by:** In *Masquerade*, Lucy Bennett used this spell to link Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce together to ensure that Katherine wouldn't be killed because whatever harm came to her, Elena would be harmed as well. In *Because the Night*, Aja called out to her coven for help to cleanse Bonnie of Expression magic. They channeled each other one by one using spirit magic until they linked to their leader. They accomplished this without the use of a verbal incantation. With the process complete, Aja, was one witch with the power of a full coven. However, since the witches were linked as one, when Aja was killed, her coven died in the process as well. In *Best Served Cold*, and proved in *Mommie Dearest*, the Heretics bound Julian's life to Lillian Salvatore. Lily stated that if he dies, so would she. She also states that this spell took the cooperation of the *entire family* implying that it took a lot of magic for the Heretics to enact. In *Phantomesque*, the Hollow cast a linking spell on the recently resurrected Davina to ensure her survival, and to gain Kol's obedience with her, so that if she died, so would Davina.

* **Life Force Binding Spell:** *A spell that binds the life energy of one person to that of another person. This allows a person to be revived from death without upsetting Nature's cycle of life and death.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos Tribum Melan Veras Raddiam Onu Pavadus Ponemus.*
	+ **Used by:** In *The Sun Also Rises*, it is revealed that Emily Bennett used this spell to bind a woman's life force to her child's. The child died, but the mother's life force flowed through which restored her life, but caused the mother to die. Emily's descendant, Bonnie, also performed this spell to bind John Gilbert's life force to Elena Gilbert's so that Elena would come back to life after being sacrificed.

* **Original Linking Ritual:** *A spell used to link the Original vampires together so that if one of them were to be killed, the others would die as well in the process.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos Inta Grum Vin Callus Amalon Callagius Accodum. Cosom Naben Dox Callagius Amalon Gaeda Callagius. Ceremum Descendium Vinum. Phasmatos Inta Grum Callus. Cosom Naben Dox.*
	+ **Directions:** The spell called for a drop of doppelgänger's blood and allowing the Originals consumed it at the same time, they would then be bound together as one.
	+ **Used by:** In *Dangerous Liaisons*, Esther Mikaelson performed this ritual to link all of her children together in an effort to kill them, including Klaus. She laced champagne with Elena Gilbert's blood to create the link between Finn, Elijah, Klaus, Kol, and Rebekah Mikaelson.

* **Expression Linking Spell:** *A non-verbal spell that allows the witch to link two people, including themselves in a matter of seconds simply by focusing. The witch will then be able to restrain the target's movements and distance which they can go to however far she pleases, acting as a leash. However, like any linking spell, whatever happens to one is also inflicted on the other.*
	+ **Requirements:** Expression
	+ **Used by:** In *The Walking Dead*, Bonnie Bennett has used this spell to link herself to Katherine, to keep her away from Silas.

* **Expression Triangle Linking Spell:** *A non-verbal spell that uses Expression to charge and link three sacrificial hotspots. With all three hotspots linked, a spell can be used to drop the Veil as the caster sees fit, such as inside the Expression Triangle.*
	+ **Requirements:** Expression
	+ **Used by:** In *The Walking Dead*, Bonnie Bennett has used this spell to charge and link each hotspot of the Expression Triangle to drop the Veil. Seemingly, since this link was established with Expression, upon Bonnie's death, she could no longer channel the Expression Triangle to restore the Veil and, in *Graduation*, had to subsequently use the Full Moon to gather enough power to perform the spell.

* **Qetsiyah's Mind-Linking Spell:** *A powerful linking spell that connects the mind of a doppelgänger to that of their immortal, using the doppelgänger's energy to fry the doppelgänger's conscience mind to damage an Immortal's brain and render their mental abilities useless. As the doppelgänger's damaged brain will not heal from the spell, the linked Immortal's brain will not heal. If the spell is not lifted, the only loophole for the Immortal is to temporarily kill their doppelgänger to regain their psychic powers until the doppelgänger revives.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Adatu Khan Leala Ghan Breatvis Shemil.*
	+ **Requirements:** Circle of herbs, Immortal's doppelgänger
	+ **Used by:** In *Original Sin*, Qetsiyah performed this spell by channeling the power of the herbs she surrounded herself with to connect Stefan to Silas and neutralize his mental abilities.

* **Traveler Mind-Linking Spell:** *A spell that is able to connect mind of two people (presumably, two doppelgängers) allowing the receiver of the spell to have visions of the target's life.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Odka na vonas czech nat, Misteni*
	+ **Requirements:** Traveler Magic / Coven of Travelers, Doppelgänger blood, Barrels of fire, The target's doppelgänger
	+ **Used by:** In *While You Were Sleeping*, the Travelers used this spell on Stefan to find the location of the most recent Salvatore Doppelgänger, Tom Avery. This spell appears to be a more crude and weaker variation of Qetsiyah's, as it required doppelgänger blood and an entire coven of witches

* **The Merge Ritual:** *The Merge is a powerful ritual and a practiced tradition of the Gemini Coven. It works by merging the strength of twin witches. The twin who is naturally stronger absorbs the other twin's magic and the weaker twin dies. The spirits of both witches merge in the process to create a new being with traits from both witches in the body of the survivor. The witch who survives typically has their personality more dominant, but with changes from the deceased witch's personality. Successfully completing the Merge also bestows Leadership upon the Coven as well as reestablishes the linking spell that binds the coven as one.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Sanguinem desimilus... Sanguinem generis fiantus.*
	+ **Requirements:** Celestial event, Blood drawn from both witches
	+ **Used by:** In *Fade Into You*, Jo and Kai performed the Merge, though Jo had already relinquished her magic and Kai was banished to a prison world. When Kai escaped, Joshua Parker attempted to force Luke and Liv to Merge In *Prayer For the Dying*, though Tyler intervened. Jo accepted her duty, and attempted to Merge with Kai, though again Luke intervened. Between Luke and Kai, Kai resulted in the successful witch, gaining Luke's magic. In *Let Her Go*, Kai confirms that his new status as the Gemini Coven Leader, his life is linked to both his coven and to their Prison Worlds and that should he die, they too will die and the dimensions would be destroyed. In *Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself*, Josie's dark magic alter-ego decided to perform the Merge five years ahead of their 22nd birthday, citing that their coven's tradition was only a guideline. Lizzie eventually concedes to Josie's demands and participates in the ritual. Fortunately for Lizzie, who lost the battle of wills, Hope's Plan B of being temporarily linked to Landon caused her to resurrect upon Landon's death with her mind protected from the Merge.

* **Confirmation-Representational Linking Ritual:** *A complex ritual used to confirm whether if another person is pregnant while using representational magic, which uses the concept of "like attracts like" to link the pregnant person to another.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Non-Verbal*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral / Representational Magic, Target's hair, Goblet, Candles, Salt Symbols, Wooden surface, Herbs, Target's hair, Full Moon (Possibly)
	+ **Used By:** In *The Originals*, Jane-Anne Deveraux performed this complex representational ritual upon Hayley and her surrounding environment to ascertain that she was in fact pregnant with Klaus' child. The intricate ritual ties the targets hair to the spell while each item represents a certain environmental or physiological change such as the following: lighting a candle wick to simulate flames on a map, a bubbling goblet to simulate a salted vehicle, a humming witch to cause litany interference on a mobile phone and finally a blown out candle to cause the target to fall unconscious. Presumably, the unknown salt symbols linked Hayley to Sophie, as Jane-Anne knew of the consequences of practicing witchcraft in the Quarter under Marcel's rule. With Hayley linked to Sophie, the fate of Klaus' child was now controlled by the witches in the hope to overthrow Marcel and reclaim their magic and city.

* **Genevieve's Mind-linking Spell:** *The spell allows a witch to connect two minds together. A potion concocted using herbs, the witch's blood and host's blood, which will then be drunk by the target. Doing so allows the drinkers to see into the host's mind and access their memories which the witch can then guide through.*
	+ **Incantation:** *-TBA-*
	+ **Requirements:** Ancestral Magic, Blood of target to be drunk, Herbs
	+ **Used by:** In *Long Way Back From Hell*, Genevieve performed this spell on Klaus and Rebekah Mikaelson to show him her betrayal, getting her revenge on Rebekah for killing her in her previous life.

* **Connective Magic:** *A powerful spell that bonds a supernatural creature to a witch, allowing her to draw on their strengths to gain more power without harming the target.*
	+ **With a Witch:** *The spell connects the power of two witches allowing one witch to draw power from the other, while augmenting the latter's power. It is unique such that the former was able to fully channel power even when the latter is miles away.*
		- **Incantation:** *Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis sammen. Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis sammen. Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis sammen. Med dette seglet, cum soluta nobis sammen.*
		- **Requirements:** Five Torches, Circle of salt, Runic Symbols, Waning crescent moon at its apex (possibly)
	+ **With an Immortal Being:** *The spell connects the power of a witch to an immortal allowing the former to draw on the latter's strength to achieve true immortality in conjunction with the immortality slumber spell. However, neutralizing or killing said immortal being would similarly affect the witch.*
		- **Incantation:** *Med arveno som et svar. Med arveno som et svar.*
		- **Requirements:** Salt drawn in an infinity symbol, Candles, Blood of targets, Chalices
	+ **Used by:** In *Save My Soul*, Dahlia performed this spell with Freya's aid to connect their magic and draw from Freya's power while augmenting the latter's magic. In *Ashes to Ashes*, she performed it once more with Klaus to free herself from the immortality slumber restriction of being limited to only a single year awake, per century. Unlike with Freya, by binding herself to Klaus, whose strength as an immortal allowed her to break this restriction, his weaknesses were also shared with her; i.e. being daggered with the Golden White Oak Ash Daggers. She would later break the connective magic bound to both Klaus and Freya via the Melting Spell through representational magic and while utilizing a waning crescent moon at its apex, respectively.

* **The Rite of Nines:** *A ritual that augments an ancestral witch's power through the linking and subsequent sacrifice of one witch from each of the nine covens of New Orleans — preferably young and prodigious. The immense amount of magical power gained by the witch performing the ritual is believed to elevate them to a level of strength unlike any other witch in any of the New Orleans covens.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** 9 children from each of the nine covens
	+ **Used by:** In *They All Asked For You*, it is revealed that Eva Sinclair attempted to complete the Rite of Nines, but was stopped before she could complete it.

* **Link Exploitation Spell:** *A spell that exploits the shared 'link' between witches under a unified coven through the magic they practice collectively, from leader to members and vice versa. Through their magic, witches can spy upon other members of their coven, hearing them as if they were present in the same room and, additionally, by forcing enough magic through the 'link', can cause all witches to fall unconscious.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Non-Verbal*
	+ **Requirements:** Collectively practiced magic (Dark Magic); Source of Power (Hand of Glory), optional.
	+ **Used By:** In *Heart Shaped Box*, one of the witches of the Sisters' coven was able to tap into this shared "link" to listen in on Davina and Kol's conversation about the Sireline Unlinking spell she was developing. The witch listening in went into a trance-like state to focus while scribbling down the conversation. Aya claimed that since Kol was linked to the Hand of Glory, whatever he and Davina said, the Sisters would be able to hear it. This was possible because the same magic that the Sisters and Davina practiced, was the same magic that called forth Kol's spirit from the Ancestral Plane via the Hand of Glory. Later, Kol and Davina, channeling the magic in the Hand of Glory, exploited the same "link" and was able to knock out Davina and subsequently the remaining Sister witches before they were able to kill Hayley. Furthermore, it is unknown how this "link" was established as there was no initiation ceremony or ritual and seemingly was established when Davina took command of the coven. Also, while the magic that was practiced among them was "linked", they were not linked together through a traditional linking spell, i.e. when one witch died the others continued to live. Furthermore, it does not seem to be a leader dependent spell to establish this "link" as both Ariane and Madison were killed while leading the coven, though the members did not die along with them, which would hint towards some kind of empathetic link via their collective or shared magic.

* **Sacrificial Anchorage Spell:** *A spell that uses sacrifices to anchor a spirit to the living world. Targets are placed atop a large ornate altar affixed with bones and skulls on which is inscribed with the marking of the "Ouroboros". Once the spell is enacted, it creates a fire boundary spell around the targets to prevent the sacrifices from being removed. The spell then brings its targets into the veil as the spirit latches on to them.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Vinculum mond sa.*
	+ **Requirements:** Sacrificial Anchor(s)
	+ **Used by:** In *Keepers of the House*, Will, as a conduit of the Hollow activated this ritual to draw out Klaus and Marcel by using four children as anchors, though they were the intended targets.

* **Chain Spell:** *A linking spell that is about the fluid movement of energy from witch to witch.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Two or more witches
	+ **Used by:** In *We're Being Punked, Pedro*, Dorian was teaching a class on how to perform a chain spell; Hope, Lizzie, and Josie were present, among other students, while Penelope was missing due to personal reasons. While preparing the spell, Hope, Lizzie, and Josie were called to Alaric's office for performing dark magic and starting a fight at the game, respectively.

* **Mimic Spell:** *A simple spell that causes the target to mimic the actions of the casting witch.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Imitantor Pupulus*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *There's Always a Loophole*, Hope performed this spell on Ryan Clarke after she learned that he wanted to test her theory about being the loophole to end Malivore. If she was right, she'd sacrifice herself and Ryan would be from his father. After casting the spell, she and Ryan, who was forced to do the same action, jumped into Malivore. In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Hope performed this spell again on Ryan to make him stop talking and to walk in the opposite direction of her to be alone while trapped in Malivore.

* **Mimic Reversal Spell:** *A spell that reverses the effects of a mimic spell.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target
	+ **Used by:** In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Hope performed this spell to remove the effects of the mimic spell she previously cast on Ryan. When Malivore attempted to expel her, Ryan convinced Hope to break the spell so he could "save" her, though in truth he wanted to be expelled along with her. However, as much as Malivore wanted to expel Hope, he wanted to torture Ryan more and would stop his attempts whenever Ryan grabbed hold of Hope.

* **Object Linking Spell:** *A spell that links two or more objects, spells or people together.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target(s) and Object(s)
	+ **Used by:** In *This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies*, it's revealed that Alyssa Chang performed this spell several years prior on Lizzie's notebook and Lizzie. In the Library, Alyssa set the notebook on fire causing Lizzie to suffer severe burns, sending her to the hospital. Again she performed a similar spell on the 2018 ascendant and the newly created one. When Lizzie and Josie sent the Sandclock to the prison world, they were also sending themselves and Alraic along with it. However, they didn't send it to the 2028 prison world, instead it was sent to Kai's 2018 prison world. Alyssa also added a time delay spell so that no one would realize what happened until it was too late. In *Hold on Tight*, Alyssa linked the Malivore pit to the Necromancer's location. As monsters were raised from his blood sacrifices, they would appear at this location at Mystic Falls High School. After she decided to do what was right and save MG, she worked with Lizzie and Josie to create a new prison world. Together they moved all the spells Alyssa linked from their world to the prison world and banished Hope, Landon, the Necromancer and all the monsters with him to the prison world. With the spell complete, Alyssa and MG were free.

* **Unbreakable Covenant Spell:** *A spell that forms an unbreakable agreement between two parties, so that should one break the agreement, the exchange becomes null and both lose what was intended to them — no exceptions.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** Target(s)
	+ **Used by:** In *Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing*, the Necromancer proposed this spell to Alaric since the latter couldn't trust him. The Necromancer explained that if both of them don't hold up their end of the bargain, neither of them will gain what they want. The Necromancer wanted the dark magic within Josie and Alaric wanted Josie returned safely. Alaric also bargained for Rafael, Alyssa, and Chad's resurrection with the ties between them and the Necromancer, as 'puppets', to be severed. He also wanted Landon to be brought back as well. Alaric eventually agreed to the bargain which prompted Lizzie siphoning the dark magic out of Josie and transferring it into the Necromancer. Upholding his end of the bargain, the Necromancer resurrected Rafael, Alyssa, and Chad. Landon, however, never awoke from being stabbed with the Golden Arrow. In *We're Not Worthy*, the Covenant Spell was yet to be completed as Landon refused to be resurrected, in spite of everyone's willingness to give the Necromancer the dark magic. The spell, as he described, prevented the Necromancer from using the dark magic until Landon was brought back. In *We're Not Worthy*, as a consequence of Alaric's wording with the Covenant Spell, the Necromancer exploited a loophole and, upon severing his ties, Chad, Rafael, and Alyssa began to die as the Necromancer was the one who had brought them back.

## Locator Spells

Locator spells allow witches to discern the location of an object or person anywhere in the world. Locator spells are ineffective if the person or object is being hidden with a cloaking spell.

* **Locator Spell:**​ *A simple spell in which the casting witch will receive a vision of the object or person's location. Alternatively, using the target's blood and a map can be used to ascertain a more precise location. In some instances, it's not possible to get an exact address or even a location if the target is cloaked or deceased.*
	+ **Bonnie's Incantation:** *Phasmatos Tribum, Nas Ex Veras, Sequitas Sanguinem.*
	+ **Witch's Incantation:** *Faire à voir là ré.*
	+ **Lizzie's Incantation:** *Ahsorum, dolusantum, infidictus.*
	+ **Wendy's Incantation:** *Mur vara en gartus sanguineus.*
	+ **Hope's Incantation:** *Sequitur.*
	+ **Requirements:** Map, Object or blood belonging to target
	+ **Used by:** The first known user of this spell was Sheila Bennett in *Fool Me Once*, when Bonnie was kidnapped by Anna and her minion, Ben. She states that the spell was 'simple', though that can be attributed to her knowledge and experience of the craft. Some time later, Bonnie would use this spell on numerous occasions, with her first use of the spell in *Rose*, though the spell was muttered and non-audible. Unlike her Grams, who likely taught her the spell, she was affected briefly by using the spell, getting a small nosebleed due to using too much magic in a short amount of time. Liv Parker states she learned this spell in the first grade, though 'played-dumb' and let Bonnie teach it to her. She has used it twice, once to locate Wes Maxfield, in *Total Eclipse of the Heart*, and again to locate Elena Gilbert, in *Gone Girl*. Bonnie used it again to find both the 1994 Ascendant in *Black Hole Sun* and 1903 Ascendant in *A Bird in a Gilded Cage*. Beau used a similar spell in *Live Through This* to locate Julian's body using his ring at Lily's request. After Julian was resurrected, Damon asked Bonnie to locate him in *Cold as Ice*, tracking him to a town called Sunbury. Damon asked if she could provide something more concrete, such as an address, but she told him that the spell doesn't work that way. In *Nostalgia's a Bitch*, the subconscious manifestation (in Damon's mind) of Grams performed a locator spell to find Damon, using the letter he wrote to Bonnie when he planned to desiccate himself until Elena awoke from her slumber. Grams also has Bonnie to concentrate with her as she (or they) performed the spell. In *Where You Left Your Heart*, an unknown witch at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted performed this spell with an unknown purpose. In *One Wrong Turn On Bourbon*, Freya mentions that she used every Locator spell she knew in every language, yet she could not locate Hayley from Hope's cloaking spell. In *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*, Hope studied several grimoires that contained locator spells in twelve ancient languages. Vincent also mentioned that when Hayley first went missing, there were a dozen witches out on the streets of New Orleans performing locator spells, trying to find her. In *What, Will, I, Have, Left*, Caroline mentions that she had her entire Honors Tracking class on attempting to locate Hope and Roman. They, however, could not pinpoint their location, and although they were cloaked, could only track them in a specific direction which was heading somewhere just outside of New Orleans. Ultimately, they failed in their endeavor to locate them. In *Maybe I Should Start From The End*, after Landon was taken hostage by Seylah Chelon and the magical compass was ditched in an unsuspecting couple's mailbox, Hope used the compass to perform a locator spell to track Landon and Seylah to a motel room. In *I'll Never Give Up Hope*, Josie used a similar spell to help Landon track Rafael who, still in wolf-form, went missing. In *This Year Will Be Different*, Lizzie performed this spell in her attempt to locate Sebastian. To cast the spell, she had to picture his face and touch the map. Should they be found within its boundaries, then the spell will cause the map to glow. With the spell having failed, she decided to move on to the next one. Despite showing up just moments later, Sebastian was not located with her spell and he got past the school's magical defenses twice. In *You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know* Hope attempted to cast a locator spell to find Rafael, who was still confined to his wolf form, though she was interrupted and caught by Landon. After deciding to let him come with her, she performed the spell and tracked Rafael to a small location in the woods near the Salvatore Boarding School. However, they found the shunka first. In *This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent*, Landon reveals that he had Josie perform a lineage spell on Rafael and a locator spell to find his true parents. The spell tracked Landon's father to North Carolina. In *What Cupid Problem?*, Landon asked Druscilla to perform a locator spell, using Pothos' severed wings, to find Pothos. Her spell was successful and she tracked him to Mystic Tap. In *Kai Parker Screwed Us*, Wendy performed this locator spell, at Jade's request, so she'd be able to find out where Alaric had run off to. Despite it not being very sporting, Jade believed that the punishment fit the crime. In *Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right*, Hope used the leprechaun's blood to perform a locator spell to track his whereabouts. The spell led her and Cleo to a parking garage, where the leprechaun was consuming various forms of wealth. In *Do All Malivore Monsters Provide This Level of Emotional Insight?*, Hope performed a locator spell to track the gremlin using his "goo" or molted skin and tracked it to a field where it had taken Cleo. In *All's Well That Ends Well*, Hope attempted to track Cleo with a locator spell but she cloaked herself to prevent Hope from finding her. Alternatively, Hope had to find her the old-fashioned way and transformed into her werewolf form.

* **Grimoire Locator Spell:** *A simple spell used to locate a specific Grimoire, from a large collection of others or from an unknown location, that the witch desires.*
	+ **Bonnie's Incantation:** *Phasmatos tribum nos ex malom...*
	+ **Vincent's Incantation:** *Unknown*
	+ **Requirements:** None
	+ **Used by:** In *Know Thy Enemy*, Bonnie performed this spell to find the specific grimoire that contained the spirit harnessing spell, out of Jonas' vast collection. In *Voodoo Child*, Vincent performed a similar spell, using a page from the Sacrificial Magic Instruction Manual, and tracked the book, in the Acolyte's possession, to where the Hollow was resurrected.

* **Tracking Spell:** *The spell causes blood to move across a map to point at the target's location while chanting.*
	+ **Incantation:** *Phasmatos Tribum Nas Ex Veras, Sequita Saguines, Ementas Asten Mihan Ega Petous*
	+ **Requirements:** Map, Blood of target / Blood of relative

While Josie flips through the grimoire she brought with her, Freya finishes the spell. In this spell, conviction matters. She needs to be clear of mind and purpose.
