Stereotypical Witch Spells?
I'm writing a fictional paper for my English exam. And it's about a teenage witch who is picked on by her peers and it gets to the point where she casts a "hex" on her bullies turning them into toads. The only problem is I can't find a phrase that sounds like a spell. Therefore I was wondering if I could ask the favor of somebody who has a wider imagination then me to come up with a single word that sounds like a type of spell.
thanks!

The best way is probably to do what J. K. Rowling does: look up a word that has something to do with your spell in a Latin-English dictionary ( http://www.latin-dictionary.net/ ) and then mess with the Latin word you get back a bit. For instance: say I wish to give someone warts. I put the word "wart" into the dictionary and get back several words. I pick one I like - say "thymus" - and change it to, oh, "thymia". Voila! Instant spell!
