This enchantment is often used by ancient sorcerers and witches to evoke the beauty and allure of cherry blossoms, creating an enchanting aura that captivates all who witness it.

By reciting the incantation with the right focus and intent, practitioners can tap into the essence of these qualities and infuse them into their surroundings. The spell of cherry enchantment requires a deep connection and understanding of nature's rhythms and energies. It is said that one must align their own spirit with the spirit of the cherry tree, allowing the flow of energy to merge and create a harmonious bond.
Nathaniel confesses his crime to Lovelace in order to save his master and his master’s wife from certain death. He hopes to convince the magician that he knows nothing of the amulet’s true powers (the ability to block its owner from any magical attack). Lovelace takes no chances. Once the amulet is again in his possession, he uses his powers to kill Underwood and his wife. Nathaniel escapes with Bartimaeus’ help, and Lovelace implicates him in the murder.
The only problem is Bartimaeus couldn t care less for what his current master really wants, only that he has a job to complete and survive before he can return to The Other Place again. Lovelace then blows an ancient summoning horn and calls forth the immensely strong spirit Ramuthra through a rift, who proceeds to warp reality on the seven planes and destroy the surrounding magicians and djinni.
It is said that one must align their own spirit with the spirit of the cherry tree, allowing the flow of energy to merge and create a harmonious bond. To perform the spell, one must start by finding a serene and tranquil place in nature where cherry trees thrive. The practitioner should sit or stand beneath the branches of a blossoming cherry tree, allowing their senses to be fully immersed in the beauty and fragrance of the blossoms.
The Amulet of Samarkand — “Bartimaeus Trilogy”
Arthur Underwood, an average wizard working in England’s Ministry of Internal Affairs, reluctantly takes charge of 5-year-old Nathaniel in order to raise him up as a magician. It is magicians, and the demons they control by their spells, that run the governments of the world. Throughout the years, Underwood barely tolerates the boy, doing only the barest essential teaching necessary to instruct him in magic. But Nathaniel is smarter than Underwood believes, and over the years, he learns spells and magic on his own from books. When another magician embarrasses Nathaniel in front of others, the boy seeks revenge.
It takes Nathaniel a year to learn the spell necessary and gain the confidence needed to conjure a demon or djinni, known as Bartimaeus. When Bartimaeus arrives, he can’t believe he is to be enslaved to a 12-year-old child. Nathaniel orders Bartimaeus to steal the Amulet of Samarkand from Simon Lovelace, the magician who humiliated him.
Bartimaeus succeeds but informs Nathaniel the amulet is more important than the boy realized. Lovelace and his accomplices are desperate to retrieve the talisman before an important event takes place the following week. When Nathaniel orders the djinni to hide the amulet in Underwood’s study, Bartimaeus overhears the boy’s name. It weakens Nathaniel’s ability to control him. So the boy has to make Bartimaeus his hostage. If the demon fails to perform his duty and Nathaniel is harmed in any way, that would prevent him from canceling the spell, and Bartimaeus will have to spend 100 years as the prisoner of a tobacco tin filled with rosemary (an herb detrimental to a demon’s health).
Underwood brings Nathaniel to his first Parliamentary affair. While listening to a speech by the prime minister, Nathaniel sees a youth sneak in from the balcony. Before Nathaniel can shout a warning, the intruder throws an elemental sphere into the audience, releasing elemental imps of fire, water, air and earth, and creating chaos in Parliament. The prime minister escapes unharmed, and Nathaniel learns for the first time of a feared “resistance” to the magicians’ rule by non-magicians within the cities.
Over the next week, Bartimaeus and Nathaniel are embroiled in political intrigue as they discover Lovelace has stolen the amulet in a plot to overthrow the prime minister (also a magician.) The boy and the demon must work together to foil the plot — Nathaniel, because he wants to stop Lovelace, and Bartimaeus because he will be stuck in a tobacco tin if Nathaniel fails. After Bartimaeus escapes from a trap set by Lovelace, he is followed to Underwood’s house. Lovelace confronts Nathaniel’s master, who has no idea that his safe holds a powerful talisman.
Nathaniel confesses his crime to Lovelace in order to save his master and his master’s wife from certain death. He hopes to convince the magician that he knows nothing of the amulet’s true powers (the ability to block its owner from any magical attack). Lovelace takes no chances. Once the amulet is again in his possession, he uses his powers to kill Underwood and his wife. Nathaniel escapes with Bartimaeus’ help, and Lovelace implicates him in the murder.
Bartimaeus and Nathaniel disguise themselves so they can infiltrate a special Parliamentary conference being hosted by Lovelace. Before they can stop him, Lovelace begins his attack. He summons a creature from the Other World, the most powerful of demons, to attack the other magicians. The Amulet of Samarkand protects him from the power of the beast. Bartimaeus and Nathaniel manage to steal back the amulet. Without its protection, the demon turns on Lovelace and eats him. The beast then turns to attack the other magicians, leaving only Nathaniel to recite the complex dismissal spell to banish it back to the Other World. Bartimaeus doubts the young boy’s abilities, but he has no choice but to stand back and watch Nathaniel try as the other magicians fight for their lives. The boy succeeds and returns the Amulet of Samarkand to the hands of the prime minister, where it rightfully belongs.
Nathaniel tells the authorities that it was his master, Underwood, who originally suspected that Lovelace had the amulet. Before he could act on his suspicions, Lovelace attacked and killed Underwood and his wife. Nathaniel is hailed as a hero and sent to live with a new magician master. Bartimaeus insists the boy keep his promise and set the djinni free since he helped stop Lovelace. Nathaniel worries that Bartimaeus will tell other demons his “true” name, but the demon pledges to keep it secret. Besides, if the boy doesn’t set him free, Bartimaeus will tell his new master about Nathaniel’s real role with the amulet. The young magician agrees to send the demon back to his home. Before he leaves, Bartimaeus warns Nathaniel to be wary of his new master and to be careful not to let the powerful magicians rob him of his morality.
Finally, Nathaniel dismisses Bartimaeus with a mutual agreement that he will never summon Bartimaeus again and that Bartimaeus never reveal Nathaniel's birth name to other spirits and other magicians. Before he is dismissed, Bartimaeus attempts to warn Nathaniel against the typical road of a magician involving power-seeking behavior, materialism, and a generally shallow existence, also adding that Nathaniel should beware of his new master. Bartimaeus tells Nathaniel that he has something other magicians lack, something that he should guard, a conscience. In spite of feelings that this attempt is in vain, his last thoughts before dismissal are those of hope for his young master.
