Pain Reduction Spell: A spell that can be used to reduce the physical pain of another person. While the pain diminishes, the spell, however, does not have any real healing properties.

Incantation: Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala.

Used by: In Masquerade, Bonnie Bennett performed this spell on Elena, to reduce the pain of the injuries the latter suffered because of the spell that linked her to her doppelgänger, Katherine.

Healing Spell: Typically an advanced spell that is used to heal the injuries and recover from non-fatal wounds. Such spells are capable of healing injuries at different proficiency levels, speed, and effectiveness. For some, the tedious nature of such spells takes years to learn.

Incantation: Unknown

Used by: In Pictures of You, Bonnie, using Expression, rapidly recovered from Elena’s vampire’s bite; her wound healed within seconds.

Similarly, in The Walking Dead, she was burned on her face after Elena attacked Katherine, who she was linked to. After Bonnie unlinked herself from Katherine, she recovered near instantly.

Tomb Sealing Spell: A powerful spell used to entrap vampires within a certain area. Furthermore, the spell would seal the door to prevent anyone from opening the door to the tomb.

Requirements: Emily’s Talisman, a Comet (original); two descendant witches, Pentagram, 5 Torches

Used by:  In Fool Me Once, Sheila and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell to both lower and raise the seal that bound vampires to the tomb. Given the powerful nature of the spell, it proved to be exhausting to perform and Sheila claimed there was no guarantee that they could get the spell back up again after they lowered it. While the vampires did escape the tomb, it was later proven in Masquerade that they were, in fact, able to raise the seal that was capable of binding vampires within the tomb. However, it should be noted that the spell was considerably weakened as it would allow vampires to enter. Unlike Emily’s original spell, this spell was also performed without the aid of a comet.

Tomb Sealing Counter Spell: A spell that can reverse the effects of the Tomb Spell. When performing the spell, the boundary can be lowered. In doing so, it can allow vampires to enter, but not leave. With enough magic, the seal can be lifted, breaking the boundary completely allowing vampires to enter and leave freely.

Incantation: Phasmatos Salves Nas Ex Malon, Terra Mora Vantis Quo Incandis, Et Vasa Quo Ero Signos.

Requirements: Pentagram drawn on the ground, Four torches representing Earth, Air, Fire, Water, A bottle of water; A full moon,

Used by: In Fool Me Once, Sheila and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell to “open” the tomb since the Emily’s Talisman, the tomb’s “key”, was destroyed. The original spell was impossible to break unless one knew exactly how it was created 145 years prior by Emily Bennett. This proved true as Sheila stated that opening the door didn’t remove the seal that bound vampires within the tomb. However, as descendants of Emily, she and Bonnie were able to use this spell to lower and temporarily remove the seal though it proved to be an exhausting and powerful spell to put the seal back up.

In Rose, Bonnie confirmed that it took both Sheila and herself to undo Emily’s spell. Despite this, and the weakened spell freeing the tomb vampires, over time the spell remained intact after Sheila and Bonnie resealed the tomb. This proved to be true in Masquerade when Stefan and Damon used the tomb to imprison Katherine.

After Jeremy was taken hostage by Katherine in the tomb after a failed attempt to retrieve the moonstone, Bonnie attempted to perform this spell again in The Sacrifice. To have enough power to perform the spell, she channeled Luka Martin. However, after Luka started to suffer from Bonnie’s spell, Jonas broke her connection to his son, preventing Bonnie from lowering the seal.

Bennett Sealing Spell: A unique spell of the Bennett witch bloodline that utilizes their magic (or blood) to make a potent sealing spell near impossible to break without the specific ingredients.

Incantation: Phasmatos veras nos ex malom. Terra mora vantis quo incandis per vasa quo errum signos

Requirements: A Bennett Witch

Used by: In Masquerade, Bonnie Bennett cast this spell on a room in the Lockwood Mansion that would trap Katherine, Stefan, and Damon so that none of the guests are aware of the fight to kill her.

She later adapted the spell again to prevent humans, Elena and Alaric, from leaving the location in By the Light of the Moon and The Sun Also Rises, respectively.

In Graduation, Bonnie sealed the boiler room under the High School to prevent Kol, recently released Ghost from the Other Side while the veil was down, from stopping her from putting the veil back up.

In I’m Thinking Of You All The While Bonnie performed this spell on the Salvatore crypt, which housed Elena’s coffin so that her body would be protected from vampires seeking the cure. This spell was destroyed when the Heretics siphoned away the spell.

In Kill ‘Em All, Bonnie, after unsealing the vault, performed this spell on the Armory itself, sealing the entire building, so that whatever was released from the vault could not escape. The spell was later siphoned away by Lizzie and Josie. Note: In all known uses, the incantation was only ever performed on screen once, performed by Bonnie in Kill ‘Em All.

Bennett Unsealing Spell: A direct counterspell to undo the Bennett Sealing spell, of which only a Bennett witch is capable of performing.

Doorway Sealing Spell: A spell used to lock and seal the doors of a room.

Bonnie’s Incantation: Vis porta.

Used: In Live Through This, Bonnie Bennett used this spell to seal a doorway when she and Enzo were running from Oscar. It is also possible that she used the same spell to seal the Salvatore Crypt in which Elena’s body was placed. Both spells were eventually siphoned away.

Blood-Knot Unsealing Spell: An unsealing spell that requires the power of two generations of witches to open a certain object. The two generations of witches have to be directly related descendants, such as a mother and daughter, of the original caster.

Incantation: Sigalis Intransium, Exalis Exalis, Omnas Quisa Operum, Sigalis Intransium, Exalis Exalis. Omnaben Libras, Sigalis Intransium, Exalis Exalis. Omnas Quisa Operum, Exalis Exalis.

The spell is bound to both the new moon and the casting witch, therefore, it will wear off in three to four days or sooner should something happen to the witch.

Requirements: Expression, New Moon

Used by: In A View to a Kill, Bonnie used expression to trap Klaus inside the Gilbert’s living room after Elena and Jeremy killed his brother, Kol. Bonnie drew on the new moon to bind the spell, thus the spell was temporary and would only last three to four days. In Down the Rabbit Hole, it was proven that when Bonnie almost died, the spell was broken and he was freed.

Expression Tomb Raising Spell: The spell unsealing a powerful tomb spell surrounding an Island simply through focusing.

Requirements: Bennett Witch, Expression, Complete Hunter’s Mark, Perfectly symmetrical circle

Used by: In Down the Rabbit Hole, Bonnie Bennett performed this spell, while using Expression and the completed Hunter’s Mark from Jeremy, to open, unseal and reveal the tomb to the world’s first immortal, Silas.

Incantation: Universa Ruina In Tenebras Ra Damis Infinitum. De Lon Dem Ex Nahal da Six.

Requirements: Talisman, Candles, 2 witches

Used by: In Ghost World, Bonnie performs this spell in an attempt to destroy the Original Witch’s talisman. The talisman serves as Esther’s connection to the physical plane, allowing her to cast a spell to allow ghosts from the Other Side to gain a foothold on the mortal plane. Shortly thereafter, Shelia joins Bonnie in casting the spell, which ultimately destroys it, sending the ghosts with unfinished business back to the Other Side.

Fire Spell: A spell that can create fires or ignite flammable objects such as alcohol. It is similar to the passive, non-verbal pyrokinetic power used by most witches.

Incantation: Incendia / Phasmatos Incendia (Alternative)

Used by: In History Repeating, Emily Bennett, while possessing her descendent Bonnie, performed this spell to ignite a pentagram that she drew on the ground. After the ritual began she threw her her talisman into the air and caused it to explode. With the talisman destroyed it was believed that Damon couldn’t enter the tomb that supposedly held Katherine.

In Yellow Ledbetter, Bonnie attempts the variant spell, though she is unsuccessful as she has still not been able to regain her magic.

In Welcome to Paradise, Bonnie finally regained her magic; by concentrating she lit a single candle and then proceeded to turn her attention towards Kai. Using the variant incantation, she was able to create two large barriers of fire by igniting alcohol to stop Kai from hurting and killing Damon.

In Let Her Go, after crossing into the 1903 prison world, she trekked through the snow to the Salvatore house and used the original incantation to set candles and the fireplace ablaze to warm herself.

In We’re Planning a June Wedding, Bonnie used the second incantation by adapting her ancestor’s Hellfire Manipulation Spell. She taught the spell to Lizzie and Josie and, together, they performed this spell to protect themselves from a huge, fiery explosion. The spell worked to prevent fire, smoke, and heat from coming near them as if they were within a magical bubble.

Bonnie explained that, with the ring came certain rules. The witch who spells the ring has the power to de-spell the ring, so if she were to hurt another person, she’d remove the spell that allows her to walk in the sun.

Over the few days following Abby’s transition into a vampire between All My Children and Break On Through, Bonnie created a daylight ring for Abby, who was still adjusting to her new way of life.
