A spell of dance and deterrence
Arachnodemons,
Hear my terms —
Taste no blood.
You shall learn
My Body is of
No concern.
Mark my words.
Don't forget,
I have my own venom yet —
Belladonna's Tarantella,
Hex you back with pirouettes.

The tarantella is a rapid whirling dance, believed to cure victims of tarantula bites.
As silly as this poem may sound, countless studies have shown the benefits of exercise on physical and mental health. I needed a spell that incorporated physical movement so decided to write one about dance, as this art form has been historically associated with the supernatural :)
