Melanie Calvat became a controversial figure. She was found to be wilful by the next bishop of Grenoble who suffered successive embarassments in seeking to provide for her. That was aggravated by her credulity in listening to conspiracy theorists and similar people, such as the Royalists or Monarchists of the Bourbon faction in contemporary France (Second Republic). Another influence was occultists and Protestants, from whom she adopted Luther's "Rome has lost the faith a ...

The word 'wraith,' marked by the OED as being 'of obscure origin,' is first attested in 1513, with the meaning of 'ghost' or 'spectre' (that is, an apparition of a living or once-living being, possibly as a portent of death). In 18th century Scotland it was applied to water spirits, and in England it became used in a metaphoric sense to refer to wraith-like things, and to portents in general. The word may be of Scottish origin, possibly through Old Norse vörðr, meaning 'guardian,' and related to Irish arrach, meaning 'apparition.' A ...

In the Harry Potter books magic is depicted as a natural force, one that can be used to override the usual laws of nature while still being approached entirely scientifically. Many magical creatures exist in the series, as do ordinary creatures which exhibit some magical properties (such as owls, which are used to deliver mail). Objects, too, can be enhanced or imbued with magical power. Humans with the ability to perform magic are referred to as witches a ...

Spells are the every-purpose tools of a wizard or witch, short bursts of magic to accomplish single specialized tasks such as opening locks or creating fire. Typically casting requires an incantation, most often in a modified form of Latin (see Dog Latin), and gesturing with a wand. However, these seem to be aids to the will only; wands are vitally so, but sufficiently advanced witches and wizards can perform non-verbal magic. This technique is taught in the sixth year of study at Hogwarts; it requires the caster to concentrate on the ...

The wizarding society exists as a shadow society to the Muggle world and works as hard as it can to keep its existence a secret, save for all but a few Muggles, such as those who are related to witches and wizards, or important Muggles such as the Prime Minister. To most magical people the Muggle world is unknown, and their attempts to disguise themselves as Muggles often have mostly humorous results. Muggle Studies at Hogwarts is considered a soft option. Most things of magical nature are hidden or otherwise obscured from M ...
