Book of Incantations

The Book of Incantations was a magic book kept in the possession of the fallen star Coriakin. The book contained many magic spells and incantations, which could be read only by Coriakin, or by a young girl.

It was found and read by Lucy Pevensie during the voyage of the Dawn Treader in 2306/2307.

History
The book's origin is unknown. Possibly Coriakin created the book, writing down all the magic he knew. In all it's known history, the book is kept on the table at the center of his library, on his island in the Eastern Sea. At some point around or before the 2300's, Coriakin used a spell from the book on his servants, the Duffers, to alter their appearance. Shortly after, a duffer girl called Clipsie used the book to make all the inhabitants of the island invisible. In around 2306, Queen Lucy the Valiant used the book to undo the former invisibility spell. She also cast a spell to know what others thought of her.

Contents
The book held many spells, including the following:
 * A spell to cure warts (by washing ones hands in a silver basin by moonlight)

 * A spell to make ones self beautiful beyond the lot of mortals (a beauty spell)
 * A spell for knowing what others were thinking of you
 * A spell for the 'refreshment of the spirit,' which is like a story that one can not remember
 * A spell to make things invisible
 * A spell to make hidden things visible
 * A spell for changing the appearance of people
 * A spell for snow (Incantation: "From these words your tongue must sew for all around there will be snow")

Appearance
The book was very thick, and kept closed by means of two lead clasps. The inside was written by a clear hand, 'with thick downstrokes and thin upstrokes', and every page was crisp and smooth, and had a nice smell. After the turning of each page, the magic of the book prevents the reader from turning back to previous encantations. To accompany every spell, there were a number of pictures. All of the pictures were vivid and colored, and many (if not all) of them moved. The pictures demonstrated the possible results of the spell being said. Some of these pictures included sound so that the spell-sayer could hear, as well as see, the results of their actions.

The book started with no important spells, and then continued with more serious ones. Some of the encantations mentioned in the book "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader" were a cure of warts, toothache and cramp, and a spell for dealing with a swarm of bees. There was also one that allowed you to find a buried treasure, and one to remember things forgotten, or to forget things you want to forget. There were encantations to know if someone was speaking the truth, and how to call up (or to prevent) wind, fog, snow, sleet or rain.

Trivia

 * In the book, the beauty spell went as, "An infallible spell to make beautiful her that uttereth it beyond the lot of mortals." Whereas in the film, it went as, "An infallible spell to make you she the beauty you've always wanted to be".
