Ensorcellement are often minor spell type of spell (but some may be of greater power than others).
Background[]
The affects can vary from those that affect the mind of the victim or putting victim under control of another (similar to binding spells), but may also be a curse somehow affecting someone's luck or destiny, or even transforming their physical appearance.
Edward was a prince who had spent his entire life, with the exception of but a few days, ensorcelled into something other than himself, never knowing his true nature or identity. First as green-skinned hunchbacked boy, and later as a troll.
Some are spells of control used to control another creature and persons. The sorcerer uses their powers to control another creature. The Three-headed Dragon was most likely under an ensorcellement, if it had been marauding on its own, it would have cindered Rosella quickly and moved on to new victims. It is still a mystery to all as to who set that particular dragon of fire to ravage Daventry, as it could neither have been Manannan or Mordack[1]
The small and the simple ensorcellements are passed around from mouth to ear, seldom inscribed on parchment. Their simplicity is such that even when mistakes are made in the casting, the worst that might befall the practitioner is an occasional blood blister, wart, partial baldness, or a week or two of bladder incontinence. Minor annoyances for minor spells, simple maladies for simple magics.
Ensorcellements fall under the Magical laws of Opposites. For every ensorcellement, there exists a negating incantation or enchanting; an opposite that is used to cancel, or oppose the first.
