An incantation is a set of special words used as magic, or the act of saying those words. In stories a witch an incantation; in games you cast one. The word is a little old and — everyday English often just says spell or magic words. Though actually, people also use it with a smile for any phrase said again and again as if it had power: a coach's incantation before a match, a politician's favourite line. That is loose, but common. It comes from Middle English incantacioun, from Old French incantation, from Latin incantatio — the same family as enchant, to put someone under a spell with words.
