That's no spell. The smell from that thing would keep anyone away from the target.Bats see what others can't see. Same can be said for you, after you cast the spell.No clue. Uhm, it's something black and something white, maybe it relates to understanding what is different.If the dust was ferromagnetic, the lodestone could disrupt it.No idea at all!Drinking alcohol is a good way to resist pain for a while.Things float on mercurey easily, because it's a very heavy fluid.I seem to remember something related to prophecy and hummingbirds... some old african legend maybe... I dunno, I'm probably misremembering something.The leather thong symbolizes bondage. This is a freedom spell, so this is an example of magic by opposites, fairly common in magical literature.Both of which dull senses. They are generically appropriate for illusions.No clue.I don't know, is there something special about leaded inks? If not, I could see the lead as symbolizing the mental compulsion. It's in the ink, so the mental compulsion is in the writing.Easy. If you had something sticky in your eyelashes, you couldn't see very well.Ivory is traditionally associated with knowledge. The rectangle is a window to the truth. Or something.They are harnesses, holding you up.No idea at all!It's something that can be applied to the weapon.

The statuettes represent "you" and "other creatures", I think.The twisted loop is clearly a Moebius loop, good for symbolizing extradimensional spaces. The powdered corn extract, I don't know. Could you even use it as glue? Though pop corns do have a convoluted shape. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />Herring (red one maybe) and will-o'-wisp are practically synonimous with misleading.Uh... the candle symbolizes life, I'm pretty sure of that. You pull it out of the bag, symbolizing the creation of life out of thin air. Nevermind that it is actually summoned from somewhere else.  As for the animal hoof for the fog, I have no idea. Agate, though, is traditionally an amulet for clear vision.</blockquote>
