A spell of immunity and immobility*
Hemlock, foxglove, nightshade three —
Shield me from Catastrophe.
Twisted hearts and final breaths,
Let my Demons see their deaths.

Hemlock, foxglove and nightshade contain toxic alkaloids — coniine, digitoxin and atropine, respectively. These are potent enough to paralyse and kill any demon.
