cantrip

Definition

(Noun) A cantrip is an alternating spell, used in old folk magic or hedge witchcraft, where a single spell casting event causes two differing actions to take place; the effect of which is generally negative or aggressive in nature. A cantrip is not intended to cause serious harm or death to the subject person of the spell. In modern days, a cantrip spell is most often used for personal protection from metaphysical psychic attack.
