I'm not always able to keep up with all the posts, so if this has already
been discussed, please point me to where.  I was wondering where spells come
from.  Is there something intrinsic about the word "Accio" embedded into the
magical fabric of the universe that causes things to be brought to the
speaker (imagine the poor prehistoric wizard who discovers this as he
sneezes, his wand inadvertently pointing at a woolly mammoth).  Or perhaps,
are the spells created somehow (wizard R&D) and magically assigned a magic
word upon their creation.  Or something else entirely?  Any ideas?
