1. incantation
Any particularly arbitrary or obscure command that one must mutter
at a system to attain a desired result. Not used of passwords or other
explicit security features. Especially used of tricks that are so poorly
documented that they must be learned from a wizard.

but if you mutter the right incantation they will be
forced into text space.”
