WICKED: Every Spell Used From The Grimmerie Explained!

WICKED: Every Spell Used From The Grimmerie Explained!
In another video following the instant success of Wicked, I want to take a closer look at the film’s macguffin, The Grimmerie. The ancient spellbook has little to do with Elphaba’s overall journey, yet it is the lone object motivating her conflict with The Wizard and the people of Oz. According to the film, the Grimmerie is an old book detailing Thaumaturgy and Enchantments. Written in an Ozian language lost to time, only those with unparalleled magical talent can decipher the pages. The spells come with significant consequences, as the exact effects of each spell are unknown until they’re cast. If a spell happens to take a heavy toll, such as the flying monkeys experiencing intense pain when receiving their wings, there is no way to reverse a spell. The only loophole, and saving grace of the Grimmerie, is that another spell from the book may counteract another.
Due to her natural talent, Elphaba is brought to the Grimmerie by Madame Morrible. She later takes the book when she realizes The Wizard wants to use its power to hurt the animals of Oz and enhance his power. Throughout the second act of the film, Elphaba will use other spells from the Grimmerie to help herself and her loved ones, but they all have adverse effects. Today, I want to discuss the six spells from the Grimmerie that should appear throughout the film and their impact on the narrative.

Glinda literally said the words "why couldn't you stay calm for once instead of flying off the handle?" Her subconscious probably did the rest

[@michaelandrews8348]

I think the spell for the wings and the broom are due to certain spells in the book just not meant to work on humans.

[@KabardaGoal2023]

But based on my opinion when Alphaba used the same spell she was stopped by Glinda, I think the spell wasn't Complete the incantation was cut

In the book the grimmerie actually comes from earth and the strange language in the book is English. The wizard took it to oz and as he is elphabas father she is half human and can read the grimmerie

[@toastee5421]

So why can't he do magic?

The Silver Shoes never change to Ruby in the play, they couldn't due to Warner Brothers owning the rights to the Ruby Slippers, there's just a red lite shone on them as a nod to the mgm film, but they go back to silver after the spell is done. They cant change the shoes to Ruby or they will get in trouble. Disney had to pay allot of money in order to use the Ruby Slippers that the Nome King Wears in Return to oz.

[@mistahkrazy805]

The Ruby Slippers were solely for the visual aspect of making them "pop" on screen. The silver was dull like the Tin Man.

[@marklamb1524]

Am really impressed by this. At last, an intelligent reading.

THE SINGING AT THE END? ATE

[@boujeetrash1015]

She says bring/there be wings in Aramaic ABEN KHANAF

The Flying Monkeys always scared me more than the Wicked Witch when I always watched The Wizard of Oz and the Flying Monkeys in Wicked were just as scary if not more in my option.

[@Thismeekpotato]

….. I just wanted to know the actual written incantations tho. 😂 guess not

[@broadwaymike92]

I hope in PART 2, they can show more of how Elphaba and Fiyero get their way around with her forcing him to torture him with fire.

[@DarthHao]

I wonder what this book’s version of the killing curse looks like

[@Mike.s.563]

Where does the lion fit into the story ?

[@Xarasarat]

[@quinnhouk5369]

Yay

[@mistahkrazy805]

"Winged" pronounced "WingD" not "Wing-Ed"

[@asmrtpop2676]

It can be pronounced either way, actually.

[@haven600]

Fish and or fishes rule

[@Politehonesthero-j9x]

The wizard did not come to oz until years later than in movie
