Unlinking Spells

Unlinking spells allow witches to sever magical bonds between two or more people caused by Linking spells.

Unlinking Spell: A spell that is used to break the link between two or more beings.

Incantation: Unknown

Requirements: Unknown; Expression

Used by: In Masquerade, Lucy Bennett used this spell to undo her linking spell she cast on Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce. In The Walking Dead, Bonnie, using expression, broke her linking spell and released Katherine as Elena was trying to Kill Katherine and, unknown to Elena, Bonnie was being harmed as well. In Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me, Julian had the Heretics remove the linking spell from him and Lily to protect Lily should he die. Lily, unknown that the link had been broken, attempted to exploit the spell and kill him by staking herself; as a result Julian was spared as Lily died.

Original Unlinking Spell: The spell will destroy the link between the Original vampires, therefore, the death of one original vampire will not affect the others.

Incantation: Phasmatos Ex Solves, Exis Paunos Animotos. Phasmatos De Conjunctos, Sua Facto Dux Male. Phasmatos Ex Solves, Exis Paunos Animotos, De Conjunctos Sua Facto. Phasmatos Devos Male.

Requirements: Candles, Blood of the Originals

Used by: In The Murder of One Bonnie Bennett performed this spell under Klaus' command to reverse the link between him and his siblings that his mother had created.

Spell of Unknotting: Created by Esther to enact an unlinking spell. The spell involves a sanguinum knot, used as a physical representation of the linking spell in question. Once successfully completed, the knot levitates and unties itself signifying that the linking spell has been broken.

Incantation: Phasmatos omnio ligor coldate sangorium... Phasmatos omnio ligata soluto... Phasmatos omnio ligata soluto vingulia cordit.

Requirements: Sanguinum knot, Representational Magic

Used By: The spell originates from Esther, of which Elijah states as one of my mother's later spells, eluding to the complexity and power required to perform the spell. In Fruit of the Poisoned Tree, Elijah gives Davina the spell from their Mother's grimoire inorder to unlink Sophie and Hayley, through representational magic. In A Spirit Here That Won't Be Broken, Kol taught this spell to Hope so that she could unlink Davina from the Hollow. Ultimately, Hope was successful and unlinked Davina before the Hollow's death, although it should be noted that the spell was much more advanced than she was prepared to cast which caused her to fall unconscious.

Sireline Unlinking Spell: An powerful spell, that is specifically a combination of all of Esther's sire bond and linking spells performed in reverse to undo the link pasted down from each new generation of vampires from the original.

First Incantation: Nemo unus animabus carnem et sanguinem de ista duo. Sanquinatum venetus barkael meh.

Second Incantation: Nemo unus animabus carnem.

Requirements: Kandahar root (Unused) / Unsired vampire heart, Specific grammatical changes, Target Original vampire, Pool of water charged with one or more Original's blood, presumably Dark Magic

Used by: In Alive and Kicking, Davina reveals to Mikael that she was using Esther's grimoires to spell to unlink the sireline of an original vampire. Davina has created this spell by combining all of Esther's linking and sire bond spells in reverse. She attempted to use the spell in Red Door though she discovered that Kol destroyed her binding agent. Roughly a year later after it's inception, with Kol's help Davina was able to finish the spell with the correct ingredients, and revised the incantation to the first portion only. In A Streetcar Named Desire, Davina was finally able to cast the spell with the assistance of The Sisters. They performed the refined spell on Elijah and Klaus, though the majority of the witches were killed, leaving Davina only able to break Klaus' link to his sireline. The resulting release of mystical energy from many generations of vampires was strong enough to create a Nexus Vorti.

Rite of Nines Unlinking Spell: A powerful spell that allows witches to sever the connection between them and eight other individuals. The spell requires the original caster of the linking spell (the centre of the link) to perform it themselves.

Incantation: Sei pour sae kie sei mare noock virgam. Sei pour sae kie sei mare noock virgam.

Requirements: 4 Candles, Center of the link

Used by: In Fire with Fire, Rebekah Mikaelson performed this spell to unlink her current body (Eva Sinclair) from the 8 teenage witches she attempted to sacrifice.

Prison Worlds Unlinking Spell: A spell that severs the connection between an Ascendant, the banished person, and the Prison World.

Incantation: Filum contra hemius.

Requirements: 14 Candles, Ascendant, Bound target's blood

Instructions: The witch performing the spell will sit in a circle of candles. The two in front and directly behind the witch are tall white candles. Between these on each side are five alternating tall black candles and short white candles. Each candle is connected by salt or herbs. The ascendant is placed in front of the witch, surrounded in a circle of blood, likely Kai's as he's bound to the world. To complete the spell, a knife must break the blood circle.

Used by: In You Can't Save Them All, freed and instructed by Kai, Alyssa attempted to perform this spell to sever his connection with the 2018 Prison World which would have resulted in the deaths of Alaric, Lizzie, Josie, Sebastian, Wendy, Jade and Diego. For added protection, Alyssa sealed the room in a barrier spell. Hope, however, got to her before the spell was complete and talked her out of what she was doing. She explained that severing the connection would kill everyone contained within, but Kai had not told her that. Hope tells her that she's not a murderer, that being responsible for someone's death will remain with her. Alyssa remembers her parents and decides not to finish the spell.
