Looking for some incantations to add flavor to spells

[hokorippoi]

I been trying to find some nice incantation for spells.
I would think someone would have made up incantations (in English).

EX:
Spell: Aid - "They may turn and fold, but our shield wall will hold."

Any spell with longer than a Swift/Immediate Action casting time: "Yu Mo Gwai Gui Fai Di Zao"
Slow the chant to fill time on full round spells, repeat every round for spells with longer than 1 Round cast times. :smalltongue:

We just use, "Murmur murmur chant INVOKE!"

I'm sure it sounds lame on this forum(which is populated with amazingly creative people), but I just google translate the spell name into latin...it sounds cool in game and it's quick/simple to do even though I'm certainly mangling the pronunciations.

For bonus effect, chant while hopping on one foot and burning incense.

You can watch just about any sword and sorcery anime or read any such manga and get a grocery list of great-sounding chants, using either the original language or the translation. (I happen to like the rock'n'roll feel of the spells in Bastard!!, for example.)

For any weather based spells, be sure to use any of Storm's lines from the old X-Men cartoon:

"Nature I command you, bring forth thunder and lightning!" (Call Lightning)

"I summon thee, arctic winds!" (Cone of Cold/Gust of Wind)

"Nature, heed my command - a wall of rain to quench the flames!!" (Control Weather, niche scenario)

FFT's Holy Explosion chant probably would work good for Divine Power in a CoDzilla joke sort of way.

"Heaven's wish to destroy all minds! Divine Power!"
