Egyptian Magic

Magic is the way in which a magician converts energy into something usable, such as a spell.

Divine Words
Divine Words are the Ancient Egyptian pronunciation of words. Using these words, magicians are able to draw upon power for spells directly from Ma'at.

Known Spells
The following list of spells are ones that have been used in the Kane Chronicles. It includes a brief description of what the spell does and, when applicable, provides the corresponding hieroglyphs, incantation, and the approximate English translation.

Seven Ribbons of Hathor
A spell which summons seven ribbons and binds a god, banishing them to the Duat. It may only be used once a year. Used by Zia Rashid against Serqet in a museum when she was trying to save Carter and Sadie.

Glamor
A spell that manipulates the weak minds of mortals, allowing a god or magician to appear differently. Once a magician becomes aware of the spell, their glamor becomes see-through.

Scrying
A magician learns to scry as an initiate. This magic involves using a bowl of oil to see far-away locations.

Animation Spell
Brings inanimate objects to life. Best used in conjunction with another spell, such as N'dah to direct the magician's newfound support.
