Information AboutEnchantment |
|
In traditional Fairy Tale s or Fantasy Fiction , an enchantment is a Magical Spell that is attached, on a relatively-permanent basis, to a specific person, object or location, and alters its qualities, generally in a positive way. The most widely-known example is probably the spell that Cinderella 's Fairy Godmother uses to turn a pumpkin into a coach. An enchantment with negative characteristics is usually instead referred to as a Curse . The Latin ''incantare'', which means 'to utter an Incantation ', or cast a Magic Spell , forms the basis of the word "enchant", with deep linguistic roots going back to the Proto-Indo-European ''kan-'' Prefix . So it can be said that an enchanter or enchantress casts magic spells, or utters incantations, similar to what are called Mantra in Sanskrit . |
