Magic formula (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spell

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">magic formula</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(magic spell)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for spell that I've seen before include "Period (of enchantment?)" , "Charm - recite letters in word" , "influence" , "Formula believed to have magical force" , "Trance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent, The Irish Times and The Mirror.
