ETA: FOUND!!! Specifically archeologist_d's list of spells from series 1 & 2 gave me exactly what I had been googling myself to death over. I'm keeping this post and the lovely helpful comments around for future reference.

Is there any site around that has the scripts or just episode transcripts of Merlin? I remember on Buffy there was a lovely site that had every ep transcribed and it was a quick easy way to get the spelling/exact dialogue if you needed it. Merlin must have something like this, y/n?

Failing that, is there a site that will give Gaelic translations of English words to use for spells? Google is failing me. I keep getting linked to sites with downloadable translators and hello, not what I am looking for! I just want one word!

Any fandom secret where authors get the spells/translations they use?

it's the little things in new fandoms that eat so much time! gah!

also..HIHI!!! porn coming soon. heh.

9500 / 15000 words. 63% done!

Most of my fics (and almost all of those are unposted WIP's), or actually, all but one (sort of), are AU's, so I just sort of breeze through the magic bit without really getting into the words. Mostly. But I thought I read somewhere (and it kills me I can't think of where) that it was Welsh. I think. I'm kinda useless here, haha!

GOD! I was never in the HP fandom (Merlin is actually my first ever, interestingly enough), but the LATIN. I am working on a minor in Latin and took it for years so of course the fandom I'm in doesn't actually use it for spells but Welsh instead which would be brilliant to learn imo.

Sorry! Old English NOT Welsh. Though that would make sense. My head is all over the place right now.
