I'm after a Latin word or phrase meaning something like "let the bad air be cleared". Anything of that ilk. Something Willow at the peak of her powers might say as part of a spell to protect herself, and others, if she realised the air was contaminated by a hallucinogen.

Doesn't have to be Latin; Sanskrit would do, or Tibetan, even Welsh or Gaelic.

Also, if anyone knows the correct way of saying "the Catwoman" in German I'd be grateful for that too.

aer malus purgetur

That would be 'let the bad air be cleared' in Latin, using the jussive passive subjunctive...

I didn't quite phrase my request correctly; I'm after a command, more like "bad air go away, don't come back another day". Only without the "don't come back another day" bit.

OK, in that case, the imperative would be:

abi, aer male

Literally: 'Go away, bad air.'

Thanks, that's exactly what I'm after.
