If you insert a semicolon into the clue, it reads slightly differently:
New semi originally put; people up for spells.
'New semi originally put' means rearrange 'new semi'.
'people up for spells' means people/persons who are up for (i.e. ready for/able to do) spells.

the Wise Men were Magi, magicians. They might have cast a spell or two
do you want it parsed?

wise men = magi (c)
