I thought it was "He swallows your might"? 😕

"twist a tangled knot of love and loss to drain life with a weapon of hate"

I’m not a fan of dark magic, but I like the sound of the slithering steel one

You are definitely right about the reverse.

Nrub tonnac rednic fo straeh

Lalotte red I think that smoke spell uses cremated remains of whatever the smoke takes the form of. Awesome but kinda freaky.

I never thought of that. That's so twisted and dark. They're literally using dead bodies of the Moonshadow Elves, allies of Runaan, Ethari, and Rayla. That's dark magic for you.

Were they the rest of Rayla's team apart from Runan

Oh gosh.....I never thought of that....!😰

@@jackhambrook99 yeah

R/whooosh

Maybe he meant about the *way* they delivered their lines all kinda dark and creepy-ish. (Obvi not backwards lol...) I was actually surprised at how nice the acting is for some.

@@mandiblackwell4668 well those lines are heavily edited tho, just listen to the reversed lines.

@@achannelhasnoname5182 oh yes, but Claudia for example her spells always seem to sound really on par imo. And her father... Two of an seem good at being dark with normal lines, not even spells. But I get what you're saying about some spells being heavily editted thou... D: shame cause some actors are so good.

AHHHHHH ITS YOu why are you everywhere

How are you everywhere?

It’s hard to keep track of all these mustache related guys

@@lve_raven641 The guy's just looking for his mustache

Well it seems more like for the primal magic, saying something in draconic and writing the rune basically kinda writes things into existence.

yep

Runaan was the only one spared.

@@reaper7769 I didn't realize it was them!!!!! Practically none of the other assassins spoke but I still got attached to them! I hate Viren even more! Crushing worms is one thing. Using the ash of sentient basically, human beings is... I don't even have a word for how evil that is!

That would explain how the other kingdoms were so sure about being attacked by elves.

The "Ash of Fallen" spell requires the ashes of a dead creature or person, which are sprinkled into a lit blood candle. The incantation is spoken (backwards, of course), and then the user blows into the flame, which spawns smokey figures that take the form of whoever's ashes were used. The role they play is dependent on the last words of the spell (or first, when reversed). So yes, Viren uses the ashes to conjure smokey figures of the dead Moonshadow Elf party. And because he designates them to be assassins, that's the role they play as he sends them to attack the other kingdoms. However, the video failed to notice that Claudia also uses the Ash of Fallen spell, because it mistranslates her "of fallen" as "and bone". Claudia's version in season 1 is "Ash of fallen, rise again: smokey seekers". She uses the ashes of Xadian wolves, simply because that's what she has on hand, and has them seek out Rayla, Callum, and Ez in the tunnels. The Ash of Fallen spell could presumably be used to conjure a smokey dance partner, smokey chauffeur, smokey body guard, or whatever you want. And it would take the form of whatever ashes you used. It's unclear whether the smokey figures are limited to performing tasks their living forms could have done though. You could conjure a smokey mount in the form of a horse or dragon, but perhaps not in the form of a child or a mouse. Judging by what we see in the show, the smokey figures have the ability to interact with solid objects themselves (the wolf bites Rayla, the assassins equip their former weapons), but they're impervious to outside forces (Rayla's blades pass right through).

And to think that those aren't even the only reversed messages in Gravity Falls.

For me, it kinda reminds of when Zatanna dies her magic.

If I remember correctly, that one was just "Backwards Message" x3

Reminds me of the Rings of power, Like how Celebrimbor made the three elven rings not to dominate, but to heal, inspire, and preserve. Sauron on the other hand, made the One, the 9, and the 7 with the purpose to dominate and control

Wait what how did I miss that? Now I need to go back and watch.

great observation

I was going to say this is copied but I realized I somehow managed to go in a comment loopy loop

Fantasy Roleplay I didn’t copy dis, that’s literally all I can say backwards

Sol Regem The Dragon oh okay my bad, apologies, other sincere statements of being wrong that is not self deprecating

Fantasy Roleplay lol this was like 20 seconds ago

I've got practise because of Zatanna's spells in like...any medium she's in as almost all her spells (aside from very specific ones) use reverse incantations like Dragon Prince's dark magic

I thought it was implied that he looked up the spell in her book.

@@Kalobi When would he have had time to do that? I think he held the book as a medium to help channel the dark magic. It seems like in most cases you still need an artifact to cast dark magic, aside from the creature you sacrifice.

@@rutger5000 Do you? Claudia casts most of her spells without an artifact (like the fire spell, Smoky Seekers etc ), unless it's the chains for Slithering Steel.

@@Kalobi I dunno. Viren almost always casts with his staff. And so did the Dark mage from the season 3 opening. Doesn't Claudia casts most of her spells with her book anyway? I think that book is an artifact. I'm curious though when do you think Ezra would have had time to read the book for a spell to unbind the Dragon.

@@rutger5000 Idk, they're always a bit fuzzy with time in this show. But assuming the book is well indexed, finding a spell to unbind chains would probably take no more than half a minute tops. Also, wouldn't he have to look up and search for the creature he needs anyway? If he has to rummage through Claudia's bag for a worm anyway, looking up a fairly simple spell in the book shouldn't take that much longer.

I think the idea behind that is that it’s supposed to be tempting

It's cool and pretty universal, but also toxic and tainting. The others are also cool.

Humans are of the dark :)

@@skipperg4436 Dark Soul veteran confirmed.:)

I don't find it cool at all! It's basically communing with demons!

the spell used o Rayla's dad was ''Steal. The. Voice'' the one used on Callum.

Actually, it was "Steal the breath" this time around. The spell is different because the hand is red and the ball is blue this time around, whereas they were both green for stealing the voice.

The are variates of similar spells such as slithering steel bind them And slithering steel unbind

@@dracorex4814 Also because Lain is literally choking like he can't breathe.

Actually Zatanna (at least is in the Young Justice Cartoon) says each word backwards while they turn the entire sentence backwards. So, normally you'd say "Use your essence" Zatanna would say "Esu ruoy ecnesse" While Viren/Claudia say "Ecnesse ruoy esu."

Or the Bill Cipher school of spooky evil spells

Sip's tea

and Aaravos at the end you could argue that Viren is the one actually wielding the magic, but wielding the magic of a spell is not the same as casting it; we saw that much when Aaravos cast spells for Viren to use before he was captured by the Katolis soldiers.

Lone Fenrir I think the whole idea was to make them sound unnatural

@@DeGraphicsStudios I know. They just sound more sinister and dark when you actually know what there chanting

@@LoneFenrir on the contrary it does sound more enchanting this way.

I wholeheartedly have to agree

I’m a little in between 😅

Makes sense

Actually, it's going to be Earth. But good observation! There planning on seven seasons if it gets renewed that many times (I hope it will)! I think it's Moon, Sky, Sun, Earth, Ocean, Stars, and Dark Magic. (But who knows!)

It's confirmed as Earth, but good guess! :)

@@bear06260 They were in a cave, though, so it still holds up.

No its earth

*katolian guard voice* that checks out

I agree, this sounds more creepy and amazing.

What???

I think it was "Steal the voice" spell, the same he used on Callum to silence him.

@@setsu-chon I think it was "Steal the breath", which is a bit more intense

I know it’s just like gravity falls.

Okay. Now that I know what to chant, all I need now are the ingredients.

@@reaper7769 hahaha😂

He actually stole his breath. The speal is "steal the breath"

Emas

Ereh emas

Oot Em

Emas ,haey

YOU WHAT?!, No your right

I think he says something like "Steal the breath"

It’s the same spell used on Callum in Season 1

I reversed the audio and he really says "Steal the breath"

No you're right. They did miss that one.

I think the 'evil' part is that mages have to use magic of drained creatures

@@LeaderoftheFates Yup that's what I mean. If the requirement to play my character in that universe is to become an evil soul-sucking demon, well...so be it. :)

I don't think they consciously speak backwards.

I get why people might say that. They probably don't understand why Rayla was upset with Callum for using Dark Magic with a creature that was already dead or why the humans couldn't just take pieces of creatures like their horns or their snot and leave them living but I think the nature of Dark Magic whittles away a person's value of individual life. Viren looks at humanity as a whole, he sees things solely pragmatically and he probably believes that his goal is what's best for humanity but he really doesn't care. When Sarai died, he was literally pulling out a jar to capture her dying breath; I mean, he did it because it could kill Thunder in the future but can you get anymore insensitive than that? Besides that, what Viren wants might not be what's best for humanity. In fact, the way the stories going makes it seem like he might have convinced everyone, including himself, that what he wants is humanity's prosperity but what he really wants is power.

@@connorgrynol9021 One word: Bingo.

It says in the book version of moon that they are the ashes of wolves who died under a full moon

@@hotcrossbuns6585 There's a book?!

That's corrupted sun magic not dark magic don't mix them up

I believe they magically are said backwards

I think they say the spell normally then reverse in in the computer, but in the "show-world" dark magic makes you different when you're performing the spell?

@@dudagonzalez2339 same

In reality it wouldn't be reversed like this, for the show they say it normally then reverse the track so it plays backwards in post production

I hear use your essence....

Tenebris Praesidium- Dark Protection.

Actually given the way they punctuate the sentences I think they're recorded forwards, look at the ones where Claudia has an exclamation mark- you'll notice how that first (last once you spin it around) is the most accented by the exclamation point.

@@emrys4386 its a joke

@@SushiCat22 Well, okay, to be fair there are some times where they actually do have the VAs say the lines backwards rather than doing something this.
