Constantine 1×05: Danse Vaudou.

Update #1 with help from abwatt:

[sic]

  • relictum — from the word relictus, abandoned or widowed.
  • spiritum — accusative form of spiritus, either spirit or soul or breath.
  • expurgationis — looks like the genitive singular case of the noun meaning a cleanse/purification/vindication/excuse.

So… “of the purification/excusing/cleansing of a widowed/abandoned spirit”. 

(For more information on how a rough English version of such a spell might be structured, see abwatt‘s post here.)
