- This article is about the prop book. For the hardcover book, see Descendants: Mal's Spell Book.
Mal's Spell Book is a book of spells that appear in the Disney Channel movies Descendants and Descendants 2, belonging to Maleficent's daughter, Mal. It used to belong to Maleficent before she gave it to her daughter as a tool to help her get Fairy Godmother's wand when she and her friends were invited to attend Auradon Prep at the request of King Beast and Queen Belle's son, Ben. The Spell Book has a variety of spells that Maleficent formerly used for many occasions. Mal briefly owned the Spell Book, until the end of Descendants 2, when Mal decided to give it to Fairy Godmother due to its history with Mal agreeing that she should no longer have it since it had been used moments prior by Uma who had spelled Ben using it after Mal had dropped it after escaping the Isle with her friends and Ben.
The book features a golden dragon crest on the front cover and the pages inside contain many spells and incantations.

- Toad's breath and vampire's tickle, open up this door a little!
- The incantation:
- A Spell for Better Hair: The spell for better hair can give people new or better hair, and is used quite often by Mal as many girls at Auradon Prep ask her for new hairdos. However, if cast incorrectly or cast by someone with less experience with magic, the spell can produce unpredictable results, give a person awful looking hair. Variations of this spell allow changing other elements of the appearance of a person or a portrait.
