Nichol Williams made up the "charm of making" which he used in Excaliber 
because the one in the script was too silly.  Since Nichol speaks welsh I 
believe the spell might mean something but it certainly is not "authentic".

 Merlin's spells again ... this is going too far.
 I amused myself, using eurytmics and some intuition.
 No doubt my imagination was influenced by the movie!
 By the way- Anybody has correspondance tables in eurythmics?
 It would make a nice post & be magically usefull.
