A taglock is something that has been used in witchcraft for a very, very long time. It is an object or substance that forges a strong link between my target and my magic. Traditionally, taglocks are things such as blood, spit, hair, or nail clippings—direct DNA. The use of DNA creates a stronger magical bond. Nowadays, however, snagging someone’s blood in their sleep is generally frowned upon and quite difficult, so suitable replacements include cigarette butts, used tissues, used plastic cutlery, and other easily obtained items of that ilk. Taglocks are often used in curses and hexes, as they bind the target to the spell and therefore amplify the magic, ensuring that it affects the intended person. They are used in binding spells for the same reason: to tie the person to the magic. Bear in mind that taglocks are not malevolent in and of themselves. They are simply a means of forming a bond and can thus be used in protection, healing, and positivity magic!
