#MAGICAL WORDS OF POWER PDF#

Words of power represent a primal form of magic used in ages past. Some examples of this include looking at the number of syllables in each word, which syllables occur in which order, how often each syllable occurs, etc. What I found most interesting though (and where there was a fair bit of plot focus) was on attempting to use the existing few hundred known words to construct new words, largely on the basis of brute forcing the problem in combination with assumed probabilities based on existing distribution. The words of a chant or spell can imbue the magician with feelings of power and, by so doing.
Much of the quest for more words originally came from people going to other parts of the world to see which words they knew, delving into ancient libraries and translating books to see whether they mentioned new words, or just talked about effects that could be surmised to come from new words, which would lead to more archeology. If anyone finds a new word, then all people who can do magic can use it, and a combination of first-mover advantages and tight secrecy can make it profitable.

When we consciously shift our language to precise words that resonate with a higher frequency.something magical happens. I wrote about 2/3rds of a novel which had, as the central magic system, "say word, get power". I call them magic words because even after centuries of constant daily use, their power is still something to conjure with.
