In the actual series, no such spells exist. In fact, it's heavily implied, if not outright stated, that only the most powerful of youkai can take on humanoid forms in the first place. For fanfiction it can be seen as a NecessaryWeasel to explain why Kagome has almost never met youkai in the modern era, and for an Alternate Universe fic to explain how TheMasquerade exists.

In the canon there are ''two'' instances of a human turning into a hanyou or youkai, and those two instances are Naraku and a {{Filler}} character named Sara, who did so through highly unique and usual means and they just became hanyou (Naraku's evolutions aside).

Some works may dial this back to the human's life just being extended by continual transfusions of youkai blood, not actually transforming them or granting them an equivalent lifespan.

The fanon comes from a single, vague reference to the father, when alive, being a {{youkai}} "who prowled the west". Sesshoumaru's mother does live in a palace that travels through the sky, but even Sesshoumaru is only an occasional visitor who struggles to locate it, and she was introduced years after the fanon became established.

* Another popular belief is that youkai "mark" their mates with some sort of bite on the neck or breastbone and that they go through animal-based mating seasons (and yes it's almost always the ''[[CriticalResearchFailure male]]'' [[CriticalResearchFailure dog or wolf youkai that "go into heat"]]).
* Mostly prevalent in AlternateUniverse stories, youkai have access to enchanted charms (almost always rings) that cause them to appear human when worn, thereby explaining why in the canon Kagome almost never meets any youkai in the present era.
* Jaken is universally believed to be serving Sesshoumaru as a result of a life-debt he owes him. The source of this belief comes from a random stand-alone {{filler}} episode the {{anime}} did that attempted to pad out Jaken's background. The original manga doesn't explore Jaken's background at all and never explains why he serves Sesshoumaru.
* Inuyasha's parents are never named in the anime or manga, but the third movie specifically names his mother "Izayoi," and this is almost universally accepted. His father is often called "Inutaisho," a corruption of "inu-no-taisho" which is his title, not his name, and translates roughly as "The Dog General." Less accepted but still present is the idea that his father is named "Toga." This comes from the third movie too and was a name that the production team gave to him just for the sake of referring to him by name while the movie was being made. In the finished film he's never addressed by name.
* Inuyasha is popularly cited as being 200 years old. This comes from the third film adaptation and not from the original manga.

There also is an alpha, beta, omega and such that plays into how the pack is structured, despite this not really being touched upon much by the Canon.

* In fact, even Sesshomaru's ''father'' never bore any such designation, either. He is only ever called "Inu no Taishou", and while this would translate as "Dog General", in spirit the title could be much more broadly interpreted, which the English version wisely represented with the more ambiguous "Great Dog Demon". He is never explicitly stated as having "ruled" the West, only to have resided there.
* If fanfiction ever deals with Kagome growing older, she'll likely become some sort of doctor due to her experience patching up her friends. [[spoiler: In ''The Final Act'' she is seen learning herbalism from Kaede so she'll likely become the village healer.]]
* Inuyasha's addiction to ramen. In the manga, he's seen eating it two times, and mentioning it tastes good. The anime shows his liking of it a little more but nothing remotely close to the “I’ll do anything for ramen” you see in fanfiction.
