The Magic Wheel:  Symbol of our journey through life, emblem of the ancients, and benevolent circle of witches, wise women and crones.  At the end of your Foundation Year at Weirdsister, a witch, like all other witches in colleges everywhere, must join the Circle.  It is a very solemn moment, as you begin to leave childhood behind, and face the future.  You will be offering to the wheel something very close to your heart - you must qualify for Circle Membership before the Summer Solstice or you will have to do your Foundation Course all over again.  You place your gift on the wheel - if it accepted, it will vanish and you can claim Circle Membership.
 
General Magical Chants and Invocations: Hocus Pocus Jiggery Bogus; Alakazam, Alakazoo.  (Although the former is not actually a chant, it is just used to impress non-magical people.  The magic is actually worked by the magical energy in your fingers.  The latter is just a general spell, made different every time by the use of hand actions).
 
Programme 11 - Shaky Foundations
 
Alchemy: The process of turning ordinary chemicals into gold.  Ordinary people who lived during the Middle Ages and did not know about witchcraft tried to accomplish this, but failed due to the lack of an object only known to magic-workers.  The wizards, however, did manage to find the formula, because they had access to this one magical object. 
Base metal + zinc + copper + lead.  Heat them until they are molten, then add the Magician's Stone.  Liquid Gold should appear.
 
The Capernicus Prize: awarded once a year to the student who produces the most original piece of research.

Programme 13 - The Gates of Power
 
The Seared Whisper: a world within the walls of Weirdsister created out of negative magic.
 
The Gate of Power: the doorway between The Seared Whisper and our world.  A scroll kept in The Beetle's office contains the spell to open it - her post was created for the purpose of protecting it and preventing the gate being opened.
 
The Emergency Exit:  Stand in a circle and all chant - Mos, Transportus, Epugarnus, Atapax.  It leads to Misery's Cafe.
 
Spell to Turn Somebody Into A Pig: Alverix, Aucus, Transfrogamorphus, Spotticus, Trotticus, Transferus, Corpus.

Dr Starfinder's Summoning Spell: Set up cauldrons in a circle.  Stand in the middle of the circle and shout a spell which I can't make out (that's why it's not here).  Everyone who is by a cauldron throws in some kind of ingredient - which is used (I think) in connection with horses, but was also used to poison someone is a book I read - at the same time, and a magical line escapes out of each cauldron and goes on a spot in the middle of the circle.  Your person appears.
 
What is a Forget-me-Not potion? A person who drinks this potion can't stop thinking about the person who made it.  If you have been given this potion the black blobs in your eyes are large and weird-looking and when you open your mouth and say 'ahhh' like at the Dentist's a purple heart comes floating out.
What is a Magic-Hypno Potion? This potion puts you in a weird state of mind where you are at the mercy of the person/people who gave you the potion.  They can then find out anything they like from the info. that's stored in your mind.

What is The Golden Cauldron: The Golden Cauldron is the most powerful caudron ever.  It is given to the winner of 'The Agonies' but they only get to keep it for one night.  It appears during a ceremony where no wizards are allowed (only witches) and if anyone other than the winner touches it it loses its powers.  If you cast a spell on it nothing will happen and it can have the most powerful potions in it without breaking.  The inscription on the side reads: "From conquest only shall ye gain power."  This means that you have to win "The Agonies" to get it.
 
The Spell that Hobbes does on The Golden Cauldron to try and make it's magic stay (but it fails): Ex fos-tis ob-scur-us fist-is ob-scur-um.

A Spell to Clean Up a Room:Magnolia, In-fu-car-tus, Emulsio, Red-i-tar-tus.
 
Programme 10 Spells (Good Friends)
 
What is The Magic Wheel:  A little symbol that witches use to look important.  At the end of your Foundation Year at Weirdsister (if you survive it), witches have to join a little club.  You have to bring along to a ceremony something you would never give up, but you have to now or the cows will make you do your first year at Weirdsister all over again.  You have until July 21st to find something.  You put it on the wheel, and if it is good enough (meaning it is the one thing that causes you most pain and torment to lose) it will disappear and leave you to get on in life without it.
 
Stuff to Say When you Can't Think of a Better Spell: Hocus Pocus Jiggery Bogus; Alakazam, Alakazoo.  (The first one isn't actually a real spell, just use it for pretend magic like Tim - your hand flicking actually does the spell.  The last one is a general spell that can be used for all sorts of stuff.  The flicking you do with your hands make the product of the spell different).
 
Programme 11 - Shaky Foundations
 
Alchemy: Turning ordinary bits of rubbsih into gold.  Normal people in the Middle Ages tried to do this but couldn't 'cos they didn't have The Magician's Stone (it just looks like a piece of Quartz to me!!)
Base metal + zinc + copper + lead.  Heat them until they are molten, then add the Magician's Stone.  Liquid Gold should appear.
 
The Capernicus Prize: once a year a load of students enter their research for a prize and one wins.
 
Windows of Time: Once every 200 years or so, you can travel back in time.  A Window of time is a time when it is possible to do this.
 
The Enigma of the 4th Dimension: a load of numbers you need to be able to travel through time successfully.
 
A Spell to Go Back in Time: Tem-pus, Rev-er-sus, His-tor-ica, Ex-cur-sus, In Oo-no Loco, Trans-form-us, Uni-versus.
 
A Spell to Return to Your Own Time: No-bus, Turn-us, Fu-tur-us, Etern-us, In Oo-no Loco, Present-us, Return-us.
 
The Elixir of Life: a potion that can make you immortal (or live 700 years longer than you should).  You use Sorcerer's Eggs to make it.
 
A Tinkture Potion: makes dead plants go healthy again.
 
Programme 12 - The Whisperer
 
Sorcerer's Eggs: a machine collects the Foster's Effect magic from the air and puts it inside an egg.
 
Magic Time-Loop Lock: a magical lock for safes.
 
Mis-Gone Magic: what they used to call The Foster's Effect 500 years ago.
 
Programme 13 - The Gates of Power
 
The Seared Whisper: a really bad place where everything is dead powerful and made out of The Foster's Effect.  It is inside the walls of Weirdsister (I think they are being metaphorical when they say that).
 
The Gate of Power: The Beetle guards a scroll, the scroll has the spell to open The Gate of Power which is the door between The Seared Whisper and here.
 
The Emergency Exit:  Stand in a circle and all chant - Mos, Tran-sport-us, Ep-oo-gar-nus, At-a-pax.  It leads to Misery's Cafe.

Emergency Call Button: If the Beetle is away you can bring her back again.  Press the red button under her desk, then the green one.  If you don't press the green one she will be sucked into a magical tornado-type-thing.  (Sounds an interesting idea...)
 
The Spell to Open The Gates of Power: Too damn dangerous for us to print (and the Beetle snatched away the scroll before we could get a look at it).
 
A Spell to Turn the All-Seeing Eye Red: Vaday Gate, Vaday Retro-bur-us, Vaday In-stan-tar-tus.
