Seeing as how BtVS is a show revolving around the paranormal, it is only natural that magick would play an important part in the characters lives. Various spells have been used to destroy witches, attract members of the opposite sex, and relay curses. Giles is a seasoned practicer of certain magicks, Amy Madison and her mother are witches, and Willow has and continues to dabble in the black arts. Here is a collection of many spells, chants, and incantations that have found their way on BtVs.
