By the end of the book, is the spell by the Inca referred to as black 'magic'?
I've looked through the French editions of both Crystal Balls and Prisoners, and the only reference I can find to magic at the end of either book is in Prisoners - on page 60, B3, the prince says «C'est d'ici, de ce sanctuaire, que, par magie, nous les faisons souffrir.» Tintin responds by saying it's «De l'envoûtement!...»
In the English edition, the prince says "Here in this chamber, by our hidden powers, we have tortured them." Tintin refers to it as "Witchcraft!...". Is this the moment you mean ?
Edit : In the English edition of Prisoners, Haddock refers to Tintin commanding the sun by saying "... It's magic!" (page 58, C4). In French Haddock says «C'est de la sorcellerie!...». |
