Magic definitely has its share of sinister benefits, but The Book of Spells offers some practical magic, too. Our favorite is the spell to change the color of dress. Let’s imagine the possibilities for a moment, shall we? With this one, simple spell you could turn a blah gray dress into an enviable red frock in no time. No more finding the right size, but in the wrong color. And, that designer mini that fits you perfectly? Now you can have it in every color (without having to buy more than one!) Who knew magic could be so . . . fashionable?

Steps to cast the spell:

Step 1: Hold the dress in both hands and concentrate on the color you’d like it to be.

Step 2: Quietly repeat the following chant to yourself: “What use is a frock of this hue? Make it right in a color that’s new.”

Step 3: After reciting the chant, repeat the color you’d like the dress to be three times.

Step 4: For best results, clasp hands with a practiced witch, holding the frock between you, and recite the chant together.

Is there a dress in your closet that’s dying for a little magic? What color would you choose?
