Hi-nehm is an Egyptian Divine Word that is used to join or re-construct broken objects. It can also be used to connect two things such as statues and shadows or pebbles and rocks. It can even be used to bind a sheut to a shabti once it is summoned inside. This spell is opposite and complementary to Ha-di. This spell has been used by Sadie Kane, Walt Stone, Michel Desjardins, Carter Kane and Amos Kane.

In this book Walt and Sadie use this spell to bind the sheut to their statues. Sadie also uses this to move a pile of boulders for an exit.
Trivia[]
- Amos mentions in The Red Pyramid that magicians use Hi-nehm all the time to fix anything they damage by mistake. Due to its magical effectiveness, ordinary mortals never feel that something strange has happened.
