Anna thought carefully about jinxes, hexes, and curses and then raised her hand once again. "Basically, a jinx is a spell with negative effects used to entertain others and cause some sort of discomfort to the victim. A hex is a spell used to cause pain and discomfort to the one it is casted on. Finally, a curse causes harm to others, allows them to be controlled, or causes them to feel fear and terror," she said. "Although all three cause pain and discomfort, what differentiates them is their original intended purpose. A jinx is used for entertainment, a hex is used to defeat others, and a curse is used to control another being through the threat of additional pain or discomfort."
