Delbou
Western alchemy flourished in Greco-Roman Egypt, the Islamic world during the Middle Ages, and then in Europe from the 13th to the 18th centuries. Indian alchemists and Chinese alchemists made contributions to Eastern varieties of the art. In those days, water, pure clean and fresh water, was sometimes a scarce rarity. Whether to drink, or to purify solely for the purpose of potions and alchemical experiments, the spell Delbou was an essential spell in the arsenal of any travelling alchemist. Derived from the word, dealbo, which means to purify, or whitewash. The proper pronunciation is del-BUE
Recently, the spell has been used as a means to purify water to drink. Certain alchemists and potioneers had discovered that the purer the water, however little being used, the purer the potion. Some alchemists in recent years even claim that using unfiltered water may obstruct the sanctity of the potion, and become contaminated with chemical impurities found in public water supply.
Long lasting unless exposed to nature or other various factors, including pollution or chemical waste, the water must be within at least several meters of the witch or wizard to be cast. For this spell, concentration is key. A gentle hand should grasp the wand, loose and free, and with a simple swish pointed to the body of water and then recite the incantation. The bigger the body of water, however, the more difficult it will become. It is near impossible for one to try and purify a small pond, but when paired with other witches or wizards, it is possible.
