Charm of Making
A central theme to the Excalibur: Morgana's Revenge story is the "Charm of Making", a special incantation spell that Morgana had stolen from Merlin. This was used to freeze Merlin during the Arthurian period, and it is also a spell the Morgana used to control a lot of her forces, both during the Camelot period as well as the Jurassic and Future time periods. In the EMR story, the hero eventually discovers the spell during the final battle with Morgana. An audio of the Charm of Making can be found in the movie Excalibur by John Boorman.
Merlin's Charm of Making incantation is spoken as such:
"Anal nathrach, orth' bhais's bethad, do che'l de'nmha."
The English translation of the spell is:
"Serpent's breath, charm of death and life, thy omen of making."
