Description: Arania Exumai was a charm used to blast away Acromantulas or other large spiders. If the spell missed and struck a stone, it would produce a large black scorch mark, and thus was not recommended for use on humans, although casting through or along a human-produced no ill effect so long as a spider was struck.

Etymology: Arania is derived from the Latin aranea, meaning "spider". Exumai is possibly derived from exuo, Latin for "I lay aside" or "I refuse". Alternatively, the pronunciation of exumai is somewhat similar to that of exime, a conjugation of eximo, Latin for "I banish". Together, the incantation can mean "I lay aside the spider" or "I banish the spider".
