Pain Reduction Spell: A spell that can be used to reduce the physical pain of another person. While the pain diminishes, the spell, however, does not have any real healing properties.
Incantation: Asinta Mulaf Hinto, Sho Bala.
Used by: In Masquerade, Bonnie Bennett performed this spell on Elena, to reduce the pain of the injuries the latter suffered because of the spell that linked her to her doppelgänger, Katherine.
Healing Spell: Typically an advanced spell that is used to heal the injuries and recover from non-fatal wounds. Such spells are capable of healing injuries at different proficiency levels, speed, and effectiveness. For some, the tedious nature of such spells takes years to learn.
Used by: In Pictures of You, Bonnie, using Expression, rapidly recovered from Elena’s vampire’s bite; her wound healed within seconds.
Similarly, in The Walking Dead, she was burned on her face after Elena attacked Katherine, who she was linked to. After Bonnie unlinked herself from Katherine, she recovered near instantly.
Tomb Sealing Spell: A powerful spell used to entrap vampires within a certain area. Furthermore, the spell would seal the door to prevent anyone from opening the door to the tomb.
Requirements: Emily’s Talisman, a Comet (original); two descendant witches, Pentagram, 5 Torches
Used by: In Fool Me Once, Sheila and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell to both lower and raise the seal that bound vampires to the tomb. Given the powerful nature of the spell, it proved to be exhausting to perform and Sheila claimed there was no guarantee that they could get the spell back up again after they lowered it. While the vampires did escape the tomb, it was later proven in Masquerade that they were, in fact, able to raise the seal that was capable of binding vampires within the tomb. However, it should be noted that the spell was considerably weakened as it would allow vampires to enter. Unlike Emily’s original spell, this spell was also performed without the aid of a comet.
Tomb Sealing Counter Spell: A spell that can reverse the effects of the Tomb Spell. When performing the spell, the boundary can be lowered. In doing so, it can allow vampires to enter, but not leave.

Used by: In Fool Me Once, Sheila and Bonnie Bennett performed this spell to “open” the tomb since the Emily’s Talisman, the tomb’s “key”, was destroyed. The original spell was impossible to break unless one knew exactly how it was created 145 years prior by Emily Bennett. This proved true as Sheila stated that opening the door didn’t remove the seal that bound vampires within the tomb. However, as descendants of Emily, she and Bonnie were able to use this spell to lower and temporarily remove the seal though it proved to be an exhausting and powerful spell to put the seal back up.
In Rose, Bonnie confirmed that it took both Sheila and herself to undo Emily’s spell. Despite this, and the weakened spell freeing the tomb vampires, over time the spell remained intact after Sheila and Bonnie resealed the tomb. This proved to be true in Masquerade when Stefan and Damon used the tomb to imprison Katherine.
After Jeremy was taken hostage by Katherine in the tomb after a failed attempt to retrieve the moonstone, Bonnie attempted to perform this spell again in The Sacrifice. To have enough power to perform the spell, she channeled Luka Martin. However, after Luka started to suffer from Bonnie’s spell, Jonas broke her connection to his son, preventing Bonnie from lowering the seal.
