All spells are cast by invoking words of power. These words have to be spoken when activating the spell, in order to power of the forces being utilized. The correct combination of the syllables, combined with the proper reagents, is what defines the spell. Following are the known words of power, and their meanings.
There are 26 syllables, in pseudo Latin, and will be echoed by players when cast. Tier 1 spells have one syllable, Tier 2 spells have two syllables, and Tier 3 spells have three syllables. For example, Healing Touch is Reno, Healing Ray is Motus Reno, and Healing Burst is Motus Reno Zephyr
