* Épeler: This is the most common and general translation.
* Example: "Pouvez-vous épeler votre nom?" (Can you spell your name?)
2. To cast a spell:
* Lancer un sort: This is the literal translation, but you might also use "ensorceler" (to bewitch) or "jetter un sort" (to cast a spell) depending on the specific context.
* Example: "La sorcière a lancé un sort sur le prince." (The witch cast a spell on the prince.)
3. To spell something out, explain in detail:
