Pictures

 * All pictures must be cropped. This is the only part of the wiki where we allow cropped images. It is best not to have a whole page, just as a precaution to copyright.
 * Be sure to remove any text from the speech bubbles (which can be done via Paint), although they describe what the characters are doing, the photo's caption will suffice. This is also another precaution to copyright.

Spells Used Section

 * Spells that have been used in comics will be added, linking the ones that are present in the animated series.
 * Include the incantations that were spoken as well.
 * Please be able to tell the difference between a spell/incantation and conversational sentences/statements.
 * Example: "Now I'm tired and I'm going to rest, so if I may..." - "used" by Flora to create a sofa for her and Helia to sit on.
 * This is not a spell or incantation, this is just a statement; not everything the Winx or other magical beings, say or do is a spell just because they said something while they are using magic.
 * Example: "Tables bloom and planks grow bark, tender buds emerge from the dark, soft vines are transformed your way, so through this door pass, we may." - Used by Flora to turn the door into a hedge.
 * This is a spell/incantation because magic is being used to change/manipulate/influence something.
