This article presents a functional-semantic analysis of magic spells in English, exploring their linguistic features, semantic structures, and communicative functions. Through a comprehensive examination of key examples, the study reveals the intricate interplay between language, ritual, and cultural symbolism in the context of magical incantations. By applying functional-semantic principles to the analysis of magic spells, this study sheds light on their linguistic dynamics and pragmatic significance within magical traditions.
