Spell

A spell is a use of magic, typically combined with hand movements and/or powder and potions. The purpose of a spell is to change an object or person into something else. Howl uses many spells throughout the film, one to make soldiers march off against their will, floating in the air, 'moving house' transforming the portals and the interior of his castle by drawing a symbol on the floor in chalk and standing in it, conjuring up the spell. The Witch of The Waste also uses a spell on Sophie, better defined as a curse, which changes her into an '''old woman. '''Madame Suliman too casts a spell on Howl in the palace causing him to turn into the winged monster.
