Offensive Spells

Offensive spells, like Curses and Hexes, allow witches to attack or cause harm to somebody commonly in a more direct and immediate way. They are widely used during combat situations and usually only lasts for as long as the spell is cast.

Nature-Empowered Pain infliction Spell: Otherwise known as "Incantation of the Storm", is an extremely powerful spell that channels nature and the power of 100 witches, capable of killing an Original vampire. When enacted, the spell summons a storm and inferno in addition to inflicting pain onto the target. Due to the spell's requirement of a massive amount of power, a witch could risk killing themselves in the process if they aren't too careful.

Pain Infliction Spell: A spell to induce pain or bodily harm.

In Man on Fire, Liv used this spell on Stefan and Elena, under Enzo's orders since he had Luke hostage. In Christmas Through Your Eyes, Kai performed this spell on Liv, after draining some of her magic. In Age of Innocence, Bonnie performs a similar spell of Liv's to incapacitate Oscar.

Used by: In Rescue Me, Olivia used this spell when Tyler chased after her claiming it was rude to leave Jeremy like she did, as well as calling her a "newbie" witch. She then turned around and with a flick of her wrist, pushed Tyler backwards, through the air and onto the ground. The spell also caused all of the tables and chairs to move away from the spot on which Tyler was about land. Later, Lucas attempted to use the Motus spell when confronting Jeremy and Tyler to save his sister. However, they were ready for him and Tyler used his vamp-speed to grab him by the throat, interrupting and stopping him from casting the spell. In The World Has Turned and Left Me Here, Bonnie performed this spell while stuck within the 1994 prison world. She used the spell to throw a pickaxe into Kai's heart and then again to pull Damon off of Kai to transport him back to the mortal plane. In Christmas Through Your Eyes, Kai performed this spell to push Damon past the anti-magic border, causing his daylight ring to stop working and was exposed to sunlight. In Prayer For the Dying, Luke knocked Josette unconscious with a sleeping spell and offered to perform the Merge Ritual with Kai in an attempt to save Josette. After Kai passed on the offer, Luke performed this spell upon Kai and telekinetically lifted Kai off the ground and pulled him towards him, grabbing his face, asking if he was afraid of someone who might actually beat him. With the challenge issued, Kai accepted and they performed the Merge. In The Day I Tried To Live, Olivia used this spell again to throw a fork into Kai's chest, though this time she performed a variation of the spell, beginning the spell with Phasmatos. In Because, Bonnie attempts to destroy the 1906 prison world's ascendant. Damon rushes her to stop her, but she's able to perform the Motus spell to shove him off of her. In I'm Thinking Of You All The While, Kai performed this spell on Tyler as a wolf, though not before being bitten by him. As a newly turned hybrid, he would suffer from the effects of the werewolf bite. Later, Kai would use this spell against Bonnie; the spell had enough force to cause internal injury to Bonnie and she struggled to breath, let alone speak. Without Damon's blood to heal her, Kai believed she would die from a collapsed lung. In Day One of Twenty-Two Thousand, Give or Take, Nora, Mary Louise and Valerie sought revenge on two people that ran Valerie over and neglected to report her apparent dead body. Surviving, they tracked Stu and his girlfriend down and attacked them. Stu's girlfriend attempted to flee, byt Nora cast her spell to fling open the car door and knocked her to the ground. Mary Louise then performed her spell to drag the girl toward them and lifted her to her feet so that Valerie could kill her by feeding from her. In Age of Innocence, Damon, Bonnie and Alaric seek out Oscar for his siphoning abilities since Bonnie was suffering from vision from the phoenix stone. Learning that they had it in his possession, Alaric drew his weapon, but Oscar attacked faster. He performed his first spell against Alaric to throw his gun across the room and managed to subdue the three of them. Later, he's ambushed by Damon and stabbed in the stomach, though Oscar performs his second spell against him, causing him to go flying in the air only to fall back to the floor. He was then taken down by the combined efforts of Bonnie and her magic and Alaric and his vervain darts. In Postcards from the Edge, Rayna Cruz takes a hold of Bonnie and begins to choke her. Bonnie attempts to force her off of her by using the Motus spell; however, she quickly discovers Rayna is immune to her magic. Enzo, however, saves her when he stabs Rayna in the neck. In Days of Future Past, Nora performed the Motus spell to attack Enzo. The spell was strong enough to cause some of his bones to break as he struggled against the spell, though he eventually breaks free enough to force her to ingest the anti-magic pills. In Somebody That I Used to Know, Bonnie attempts to flee from Enzo's cabin. When her attack failed, she attempted to use the Motus spell to force her way, but she was already under the effects of the anti-magic drugs. In Kill 'Em All, Bonnie uniquely used the Motus spell to extinguish a small fire, using her magic more as a reflex. In What Are You?, Beatrice Bennett used the Motus incantation to protect herself from Ethan Maxwell who was sirened to attack her; the spell seemingly locked him within the secret room. Upon his return from hell, he used the spell two more times. Three days prior to the events of The Lies Will Catch Up To You, Kai used the Motus spell to pull a Mystic Grill waiter towards him, stabbing him in the neck. He would attempt to cast the spell again against Alaric though he could not concentrate enough to siphon magic and cast the spell, as he only had a spiritual foothold on the mortal plane and was still trapped in hell. He likened the experience as having cell reception on Mars. In Bag of Cobras, Vincent used a verbal spell to throw back two followers of Sofya to gain the upper hand. In High Water and a Devil's Daughter, Vincent used the second incantation to break open Davina's tomb to use her remains. In This is the Part Where You Run, Hope performed this spell on Alaric after he pins her arm behind her back. The Spell flung him over her, flipping him onto his back, allowing her to get the upper hand of her training. In Some People Just Want To Watch The World Burn, Hope used the second spell to telekinetically attack Landon and demanded him to reveal what he did with the stolen knife. He claimed, however, that there was a fire-breathing girl chasing him in the woods and he must have dropped it. Lizzie and Josie used two similar spells to influence their flag football game. Lizzie cast the spell to cause her opponent, Dana, to fumble the football, whereas, to please her father, Josie caused Kaleb to fumble the "winning" pass resulting in their traditional loss against the Mystic Falls Timberwolves. In Maybe I Should Start From The End, Hope performed the third incantation to blow a door off its hinges when she believed that Landon was contained inside a house and was screaming. Upon entering the home, it was revealed that an older couple was simply watching television. She quickly discovered that the magical compass that she previously gave him had been ditched in the couple's home mailbox on their door. Later, she used the fourth incantation against, what Alaric described as, a 'Mer-Man' when the creature found Landon in their motel room. Upon using the spell, she threw the creature back inside the bathroom and slammed the door shut behind it. In We're Gonna Need A Spotlight, Hope performed a fifth incantation against a mind control Penelope who, along with Josie, was attempting to steal the Anubian urn. In I'll Tell You a Story, Lizzie and Josie had a falling out with one another. Josie finally realized how selfish Lizzie was and refused Lizzie's attempts at reconciliation. The argument continued until Lizzie blamed Josie for being just as codependent on her as she was with Josie, that despite being awful and needy, Josie was happy to hide and be the one that everyone hated because she was too scared to be herself. Josie brushed off Lizzie's comment and told her that she'd come back for the part where she'd beg for her forgiveness. Upset, Lizzie siphoned magic from one of Esther's Grimoires to attack, while Josie siphoned from the wall of the Salvatore school to defend. Lizzie attacked Josie with a second telekinesis spell, though Josie blocked her spell and rebounded it against her, sending her flying back onto the bed. Despite what happened, Josie apologized and left. In There's Always a Loophole, Hope used her fourth incantation against the Headless Horseman, one of the five spells that actually affected him, though it was short-lived as he recovered quickly. In This Year Will Be Different, Hope used the Icaeus spell against the Cyclops, initially believed to be a Troll, and sent the creature flying through the air in the opposite direction from Landon, obviously unaware with his earbuds in his ears. She attempted to use the spell a second time, though the creature grabbed her by the throat and raised her off the ground, preventing her from speaking. In Since When Do You Speak Japanese?, Hope used the sixth incantation to telekinetically pull a security gate close between a possessed Rafael and Landon. Later, when Rafael woke from the sleep spell that Hope cast on him, Kurutta attacked Rafael with his spelled katana sword but Hope magically took it from him before he could use it to kill Rafael using the Motus spell. Lizzie also used her third incantation to take Kurutta's sword from a possessed Landon which she in turn killed him with, though the oni had already transferred itself to her from Landon. In Screw Endgame, Josie used the "Motus" spell to close and lock a door so that she and Josie could be intimate. In It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough, Lizzie performed her fourth spell to telekinetically open the cell that held the sphinx, though unlike the other Malivore monsters, it was not interested in Landon, rather Simulandon, as he found a new path. In This Christmas Was Surprisingly Violent, Hope performed her seventh variant spell to telekinetically throw the Krampus. The Krampus was unfazed from the attack, and escaped before Hope could attack again. In This is Why We Don't Entrust Plans to Muppet Babies Hope used her seventh incantation once again to pin Alyssa up onto a wall after Josie and Lizzie disappeared and having found the ascendant in her possession. In What Cupid Problem?, Hope tracked Landon, Pedro, Wade and Kaleb to Mystic Tap to find Pothos, who had escaped from the boarding school. Once confronted and led to believe it was Cupid, Hope used another telekinetic spell to throw 10 of "Cupid's" arrows at Pothos, believing that it would kill him. In You Can't Save Them All, Hope used the Icaeus spell while she fought against Kai. Telekinetically grabbing a crate, she attempted to throw it at Kai, but he blocked it and destroyed it with his own magic. In There's A Place Where The Lost Things Go, Josie, having succumbed to the effects of dark magic, performed this spell within the werewolf transition space in the Salvatore School. The spell was devastatingly powerful as it rocked the building and foundation as Josie telekinetically lifted the cell floor up off the ground and up into the interior of the school, causing a fiery explosion in the process as she escaped, unharmed. In Life Was So Much Easier When I Only Cared About Myself, Josie used her third spell against Hope, lifting her off of the ground and to hold her alof over a large wooden stake in her bid to kill her. After Josie let go of the spell, Hope was caught mid-air by Lizzie, siphoning from MG, saving her life. In Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing, Hope, while in Josie's subconsciousness, performed this spell with a rock so that she could trick the Big Bad Wolf, Josie's darkness, into leaving her and Pig alone since it could smell magic being used. After Hope found Josie, her dark alter ego confronted them both. Hope attempted to stop her with the Icaeus spell, but 'dark' Josie siphoned the spell as it came towards her. In This is What It Takes, Hope used the Mittent incantation against Alaric after he pulled her out of the therapy box. She was determined to stay within the box, with that version of Landon, and refused to say the word that otherwise would have released her. She believed that the box was Alaric's attempt to get her to give up on searching for Landon. However, if that was Alaric's intentions, then he wouldn't have pulled her from the box early. In One Day You Will Understand, Cleo shares her memories of her past with Kaleb. In her memories, she attempted to persuade her grandmother from not leaving the village. Unpersuaded, she attempted to take away her grandmother's basket, however she used her magic to take back her things and shut her within her hut. Cleo sat for a moment but decided that her grandmother needed to stay and protect the village. With her mind made up, she performed another spell to force the door off the hinges and to the ground. In modern day Mystic Falls, the original vessel for Malivore, the Vitruvian Man attacked Hope and Landon. Hope attempted to immobilize the monster but it had no effect on him and she concluded that he was immune to magic. Changing tactics, she used the Fugere spell to take his ax from his hand. Together, she and Landon seemingly destroyed the monster after Landon dealt a killing blow to its head. In A New Hope, still under the effects of the psychotropic drugs, Hope performed the Motus spell on "Lord Marshall". In We All Knew This Day Was Coming, Hope performed the Icaeus spell on the cherufe, throwing it across the Packing Plant. In See You On The Other Side, Hope attempted to use the Motus spell against Malivore, though she was in transition and no longer had access to her magic, nor any other supernatural abilities. After completing her transition into a fully activated tribrid, she regained her ability to use magic and performed her tenth incantation against Malivore, throwing him through the air before vamping to him and punching him midair with her newly found vampiric strength. In I Thought You'd Be Happier To See Me, Lizzie and Josie travel through Alaric's memories. On their eleventh birthday, Josie remembers that Hope, who wasn't invited, turned their cake filling into worms and Lizzie retaliated with a Motus spell. Hope tried to Incendia Lizzie's dress though Josie put up a shield spell and it deflected her spell and set their presents on fire. In The Story of My Life, Hope used the Motus spell to take Lizzie's Red Oak stake. Having transitioned into a vampire, Hope intended to use it against her, as the wood would also kill her. Lizzie, however, destroyed the stake with the incendia spell. In Was This the Monster You Saw?, Cleo used her third spell to demonstrate to Kaleb that she could hang a banner herself, however, her magic failed her and the banner fell to the floor. Though Kaleb tried to comfort her, she was trying to prove something to herself because she doesn’t know who she is without her magic. Later, after Hope was infected with the Protoclown's poisonous bite, she took the poison, formed it into small needle-like projectiles and launched them at MG, Wade, and Kaleb, to make them face their worst memories. In Just Don't Be a Stranger, Okay?, Hope performed her twelfth spell to spread her father's ashes across the lake at the Salvatore School.

Explosion Spell: The spell violently explodes all of the objects surrounding the target while telekinetically moving them towards the target at the same time. Variations of the spell can cause the target themselves to physically swell and explode.

Bonnie's Incantation: Vados

Cleo's Incantation: Fo yato si

Used by: Bonnie Bennett has used this spell during one of her confrontations with Kai in Do You Remember the First Time?, though the spell only slowed him down for a little while. This spell technically does not cause an explosion; objects are forcefully ripped from the walls and other surrounding areas, to which electronic devices seem to "explode" as they accumulate towards the target. In Yup, It's a Leprechaun, All Right, Cleo performed this spell on the leprechaun as it was going to harm Alaric. The spell lifted the leprechaun into the air and caused the creature to explode. Cleo later mentions to Hope that she did not know that he would explode as he did.

Chain-Breaking Spell: The spell will break the chains holding the witch.

Incantation: Fractos

Used by: In Christmas Through Your Eyes, Josette Laughlin used this spell to unchain herself.

Sleeping Spell: This spell renders the target instantly unconscious when cast. While more forms are non-verbal, variations and advanced forms can render targets in a comatose state for an undetermined amount of time. The spell can also be utilized in the form of a white powder.

Olivia's Incantation: Phasmatos Somnus

Hope, Alyssa, and Lizzie's Incantation: Ad somnum

Hope's Second Incantation: Somnus

Cleo's Incantation: Sún báìyì

Used by: In The House Guest, Jonas Martin used a non-verbal variant upon Bonnie by placing his hand on her forehead. After she was rendered unconscious, Matt was able to wake and help her out the door of Mystic Grill. The Sun Also Rises, Bonnie performed this spell, a non-verbal variant, upon Jeremy to protect him while she, Elijah, and Damon dealt with Klaus. In The Day I Tried To Live, Olivia Parker performed the only known verbal incantation on Tyler when she didn't want him interfering with her revenge plan to kill her brother Kai. Mary Louise also used this (or a similar spell) on Caroline to prevent her from escaping from them in Never Let Me Go. In The Battle of New Orleans, Genevieve performed a non-verbal variant of this spell to stop Hayley from attacking Francesca Guerrera, after she revealed she had a side deal with the witch to betray Klaus. In They All Asked For You, Freya performed a non-verbal spell on Vincent after she forcefully removed his soul from his body and trapped him within her pendant. In The Devil Comes Here and Sighs, Freya cast an advanced version of this spell on Aurora (to date, the spell has effectively kept her slumbering for over twelve years) though it is unknown whether an incantation was involved. In No More Heartbreaks, Davina used a similar spell to cause all the patrons in a bar, except for Lucien, to fall unconscious. Lucien coined her spell as a "Sleeping Spell". In Voodoo Child, Freya used a powder form of this spell to knock out Keelin, to protect her from the Hollow, as well as using a concentrated dose on Hope, whom the Hollow was possessing. The Hollow circumvented the effects of the spell by regaining her spirit form. In One Wrong Turn On Bourbon, Hope mentions that she wrote her own Sleeping spell and performed it on Hayley, in Where You Left Your Heart, which she combined with a Cloaking spell to keep her safe. In We Have Not Long To Love Hope used the powder form of this spell on Klaus when he attempted to intervene in her attempt to clean up her mess by taking back the dark magic of the Hollow. Additionally, she used a non-verbal form of this spell on Declan when she fought with Elijah, not wanting to involve him in the supernatural. However in both instances, the spell's effects were short-lived. In When The Saints Go Marching In, Hope used this spell to knock out Klaus, having learned that he planned to sacrifice himself to destroy the Hollow. In This is the Part Where You Run, Hope used the second known incantation to render Landon' s parents and a priest unconscious as they believed they were attempting to exorcize a demon, while Rafael Waithe was undergoing his first transformation into a werewolf. In Hope is Not the Goal, Hope used this spell again on Dana, who they had believed was in transition to become a vampire, to keep her from wanting to go to the cops about what attacked her. In Since When Do You Speak Japanese?, Hope used her spell again, but on Rafael who was possessed by a oni to keep him subdued. In It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough, Hope used this sleeping spell on "Simulandon" before he could profess his love for her to the surrounding students in a common area of the Salvatore School. In You Can't Save Them All, Josie, corrupted with dark magic, renders Jade unconscious after she restores her humanity. In There's A Place Where The Lost Things Go, Josie, after succumbing to dark magic, performed a non-verbal form of this spell on Hope, instantly causing her to fall unconscious. In Facing Darkness is Kinda My Thing, after saving Josie from her darkness, Hope instinctively knew that Landon died and did not want to face what had happened to him. It made her want to stay asleep forever, so she cast a sleep over herself to do just that. In We're Not Worthy, Alaric concluded that she was under the effects of a sleep spell, and he could study every spell known to man, but he knew the truth to why she wasn't waking up. He figured she wasn't waking up, because if she did, she would have to face that grief of losing her love. Landon eventually agreed to return to his body and be resurrected by the Necromancer, completing the deal that would allow the Necromancer the dark magic that was transferred to him from Josie. After his resurrection, he placed a kiss on Hope and the spell was broken. Hope was awoken from the spell and they reunited. In Salvatore: The Musical!, Alyssa performs the spell on MG, knocking him unconscious. Per the Necromancer's request, she has a vampire for the Triad spell. In Hold on Tight, Josie, after reclaiming her siphon power at Lizzie's request, performed this spell on Alyssa so she and Lizzie could rescue MG. In I Was Made To Love You, Hope learned that the Landon that seemingly returned from the prison world was not who he said he was as she tricked him into eating avocados, which he's allergic too. To entrap him and run tests on him, she performed this spell to knock him unconscious and sealed him within the Old Mill. In This Feels A Little Cult-y, Hope, under the effects of a psychotropic drug from Triad given to her by Andi, performs this spell on Lizzie at the Wellness Retreat for Witches. In A New Hope, still under the effects of the psychotropic drugs and in a shared hallucination with Lizzie and Josie, Hope performed her second incantation on "Princess Saltzstar," "J-O 513", and "Hope Marshall". In Fate's A Bitch, Isn't It?, Cleo and Landon break into an Art Museum in Alexandria, Virginia to steal a piece from the Masterpieces of DaVinci exhibit. However, they don't go unnoticed. A security guard attempts to apprehend Landon, but Cleo performs the sleeping spell on the security guard. Soon thereafter, the second guard is assaulted by Landon. Elsewhere, Lizzie performs the Ad somnum sleeping spell on the newly resurrected Ryan Clarke. In There's No I In Team, or Whatever, Hope cast this spell on Malivore in preparation for the transfusion ritual as well as on Alaric who intended to hunt down and kill Ryan, who was possessed by a dybbuk. In You're A Long Way From Home, Cleo, MG, Jed, Kaleb, Ethan and Josie use the Therapy Box to figure out how to handle Hope. In the simulation, with Hope momentarily distracted, Josie casts a sleeping spell on her and she collapses to the ground. Hope is prepared, however, and fakes out the spell to gain the upperhand against Josie, vamping behind her to break her neck. Later, Lizzie finds a spell in Alaric's journal that could potentially save him; however, the spell requires a human sacrifice. Confronted by Josie, Lizzie uses the Illusion ring to appear as her to get past the squad and casts the sleep spell on Josie as to not gain unwanted attention. In The Story of My Life, Hope placed Lizzie under a sleeping spell and and kept her body in the enchanted sarcophagus and waited for her to starve and die as she was in transition into a vampire. Professor Vardemus and Jen, however, freed her from the sarcophagus and she was awoken from the sleeping spell. In I Wouldn't Be Standing Here If It Weren't For You, Hope performed this spell on the students that remained at the Salvatore School after Ken's arrival so she and Lizzie could confront Ken on their own.

She has since used both of the alternate spells, the former used on Julian's vampires friends in Things We Lost in the Fire and the latter was attempted on Enzo in Moonlight on the Bayou, though he had suppressed her magic. Nora also attempted to use the original spell on Enzo in Days of Future Past though Enzo force fed her a magic suppression pill made from Rayna's blood. In Haunter of Ruins, Vincent attempted this spell on an unknown dark witch though he overpowered him.

Requirements: Physical contact with the target's heart.

Used by: In Monster's Ball, Qetsiyah performed this incantation to desiccate the Immortal, Silas. The spell paralyzed him in place, which allowed Qetsiyah to push her hand into his chest and squeeze his heart to enact the spell. In Handle with Care, it was revealed that Qetsiyah, some 2,000 years prior, desiccated Amara after she became immortal and made her the Anchor of the Other Side.

Petrification Spell: An extremely powerful non-verbal spell enacted through sheer will and focus alone. It petrifies the target rapidly by clotting their blood and turning every bone, muscle and joint into stone. However, the spell as such is bound to the life of the caster.

Requirements: Expression, Indomitable Will

Used by: In The Walking Dead, Bonnie Bennett used this spell to quickly petrify the Immortal, Silas and neutralize his mental abilities while using expression magic. In Graduation, it was revealed that the spell was broken with her death. Silas explained that spells are bound by Nature and it demands a balance. So every spell has a loophole and, with Bonnie's spell while using expression, this was undone since it was bound to a living witch that died.

Repulsion Spell: An offensive spell that allows a witch to endow someone's skin with vervain-like effects, ensuring that any vampire who would come into physical contact with the victim would be burned.

Later in Le Grand Guignol Bastianna and Genevieve performed various pain-infliction spells on Thierry Vanchure and Marcel and Rebekah, respectively. In The Big Uneasy, Genevieve uses the second spell once again upon Klaus. In Alone with Everybody, Vincent, as Regent, was able to use a similar spell to subdue and knock out two vampires who had grabbed him. His spell, though, worked specifically on the vampires that had physical contact with him as Sofya was left unaffected. In The Devil Comes Here and Sighs, Vincent's second spell against Van Nguyen was unsuccessful as the Ancestors were protecting the new Regent from magic and officially shunned Vincent of their power.

Ancestral Mass Pain Infliction Spell: The spell commonly allows a witch to inflict pain on dozens of people at the same time, though it requires a massive amount of power, such as the unified ancestral power, charged in one witch.

Used By: In A Walk on the Wild Side, Alexis used this spell, in correspondence with her clairvoyance, to preemptively counter and effectively disable Freya, eliminating her speech. In This is the Part Where You Run, Hope performed a similar spell that magically sealed and/or removed a Priest's mouth to 'silence' him. In That's Nothing I Had to Remember, Hope used this spell on Lizzie to prevent her from telling Landon their shared secret — the lost memories of Hope after she jumped into Malivore. In All's Well That Ends Well, after Hope ensnared the banshee in vines, she wailed and attempted to disable the two witches. As she wailed, Cleo performed this spell on the banshee and the spell caused her mouth to physically stitch together to prevent her from screaming. After taking her back to the Salvatore School, the muting spell was bound to a candle so that when the flame was extinguished, she would be able to talk. However, she did not wish to speak and continued to wail. After Cleo was knocked unconscious by the Hunter, the spell that ensured the survival of the candle's flame was broken, extinguishing the flame. In One Day You Will Understand, while Cleo bound Malivore in his new vessel to the walk of the cave, she took away his voice as she demonstrated she had complete control of his vessel. Despite this, she returned his voice so he could swear vengeance. In Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost, Hope mentions that she cast this spell on Aurora after torturing her with the dark objects she created, similar to Papa Tunde's blade.

Freya's Incantation: Me ne de qual suurentaa!

Freya's Second Incantation: A cierta--

Hope's Incantation: Suurentaa

Requirements: None

Used By: In Beautiful Mistake, Freya performed this spell on several old vampires of the Strix organization to give her sister Rebekah some time when she was attacked. Freya attempted, presumably, a similar spell against Arora when she was kidnapped, in Heart Shaped Box. The spell failed because Arora dosed Freya with the same drug that Tristen would give her to Freya to be unfocused and unable to cast magic. In Not All Those Who Wander Are Lost, Hope and Lizzie track Aurora to a 24-hour diner. With Lizzie acting as a distraction, Hope performs this spell to break Aurora's neck.

Immobilization Spell: A spell that allows a witch to cast a magical hold over their target, restricting them to a certain location or position, effectively freezing them where they stand. It is capable of subduing strong beings, such as Original vampires.

In Beautiful Mistake, the Moroccan witch, who was working for the Strix, used this spell on a weakened Rebekah, leaving her at the mercy of Aya. In You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know, Hope performed this spell on Landon who found Hope attempting to cast a locator spell. Having lost his memories of her due to Malivore and finding her in his dorm room, he attempted to flee from her, but she was quicker than he and effectively "froze" him where he stood. She explained to him that she's working with Alaric to find and turn back Rafael into his human form. Landon wanted to help Hope, but she initially refused. Landon questioned if the spell would last forever, and given Hope's hesitation, she relented and allowed him to come with her. In It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough, Hope performed a second spell on the newest Malivore monster, a sphinx, after it revealed itself to her, Lizzie and Josie. After restraining the new monster, she and the twins performed a cloaking spell to take the sphinx to the Salvatore School. In Kai Parker Screwed Us, Kai used this spell on Josie to immobilize her after she learned that he was tricking her and working with Jade. Once frozen in place, he took what he perceived as the vial of Bennett blood. He then left her with Jade, who took her back to Alaric to be punished. In We're Not Worthy, Lizzie tries to convince Josie to cast the immobilus spell as the faction teams play tug of war at the first ever Salvatore Student Field Day. Josie tries to tell her that she put away her siphon power and can't cast any magic, but Lizzie doesn't let her explain. In the end, Lizzie loses the tug of war against Alyssa, Kaleb, and Jed and Josie pays the price; falling face first into a small pit of mud. Later when the Green Knight attacks the students Jed, Kaleb, and Wade attempt to hold the monster back with ropes. Lizzie tries an incendia spell against it, but they learn it's immune to fire. Josie suggests trying immobilus against the monster and, for a moment, the spell works. The knight is frozen in place, however, the knight's eye flashes green and overpowers Lizzie's spell and breaks free of her hold. In Do All Malivore Monsters Provide This Level of Emotional Insight?, Hope suggested to use the Immobilus spell on the gremlin; however, Lizzie disagrees, and that it would drown where it's at. In One Day You Will Understand, while Cleo was sharing her memories with Kaleb, she showed Kaleb how she performed this spell to stop her grandmother from giving herself over to Malivore. In her place, Cleo offered herself so that she could protect her grandmother who would continue to protect the village. While Landon and Hope were returning to the Salvatore School with the artifact, they were attacked by the Vitruvian Man. Hope attempted to immobilize the monster with the Corporis impetus spell but it had no effect on the monster. She concluded that either the spell didn't work or he was immune to magic. In There's No I In Team, or Whatever, Hope cast her third spell on Ryan to prevent him from walking away from her and ignoring his debt. The spell lasted as long as she held her hand up and was released when she dropped it. In You're A Long Way From Home, Cleo, MG, Jed, Kaleb, Ethan and Josie use the Therapy Box to figure out how to handle Hope. In the simulation, Hope performed the immobilization spell on Cleo, leaving her last to take out. In Someplace Far Away From All This Violence, Hope performed this spell on Josie, completely immobilizing her after she learned they would never stop trying to get her to turn her humanity back on. The spell gave her time to think about what she wanted to do to punish her. In that time, she decided to trap her within the Therapy Box. In This Can Only End in Blood, Hope performed this spell on Aurora to immobilize her during their battle and after taking her divinely-forged spear. However, she lifted the spell, hoping to trust her instinct and stop the cycle of violence.

In Hope is Not the Goal, Hope, Josie, and Lizzie performed this spell on the unnamed Arachne, causing it to explode. In It Will All Be Painfully Clear Soon Enough, Hope attempted to use this spell against Ryan though he had stolen the Cursed Shackles, found them in the school armory, and used them on her. The spell was useless as the shackles neutralized her power. In See You On The Other Side, Lizzie siphoned from Ethan while he was enthralled by Malivore. Her siphoning caused him to fall unconscious and stop breathing. While she and MG performed chest compressions to keep him alive, MG realized she could use her magic to shock his heart as a magical defibrillator. Siphoning from him and MG, she successfully cast the spell and Ethan was jolted awake. In I Can't Be the One to Stop You, Hope performed this spell in her attempt to destroy the sarcophagus, which according to legend is some sort of prisoner jail, said to be capable of containing a divine being.

Incantation: Reboundus!

Requirements: None

Used by: In I'll Tell You a Story, Lizzie and Josie had an argument where Josie finally learned just how selfish Lizzie was, culminating in Lizzie's knowledge of Penelope's departure from the Salvatore School. Josie refused Lizzie's attempts at reconciliation and even took shots at her for not even knowing her own favorite foods. The argument continued until Lizzie blamed Josie for being just as codependent on her as she was with Josie, that despite being awful and needy, Josie was happy to hide and let her be the one that everyone hated because she was too scared to be herself. Josie brushed off Lizzie's comment and told her that she'd come back for the part where she'd beg for her forgiveness. Upset, Lizzie siphoned magic from one of Esther's Grimoires to attack, while Josie siphoned from the wall of the Salvatore school to defend. Lizzie attacked Josie with a second telekinesis spell, though Josie blocked her spell and rebounded it against her, sending her flying back onto the bed.

Used by: In This Year Will Be Different, Josie performed this spell by first siphoning from her desk and casting it on another student who was flirting with Landon. Professor Vardemus, however, quickly knew that Josie had cast the spell and confronted her. In spite of his role as "headmaster" he offered Josie advice, that next time, she should use the incantation prefix "Chronolos", as it puts a delayed reaction to any spell. In doing so, it's harder for one to get caught as by the time it happens, she'd be long gone. In You Remind Me of Someone I Used to Know, Josie obtained this spell and used it at Professor Vardemus' behest. Siphoning from Wade, Josie cast the spell on Ethan, though to her dismay, the spell caused a bone in his right arm to protrude and bulge outward, seemingly breaking it in the process.

She returned his voice though he swore vengeance on her, that she was making a fatal mistake as he could already feel the weak point of the vessel and he would eventually break free.
