As we were playing the other night, a player in my current campain started as a flavoring to the game, chanting some incantations wile performing his spells. We are all anime fans in my group, so everyone enjoyed it I can say.

So I thought of starting this little project, were we post some verbal components for specific spells. I am quite excited about it might I say :)

Here are some samples. Some might take more than 6 seconds to say, but oh well, it's merelly for fun. It is also supposed to be translated versions from Dragonic, or whatever is the primary arcane language in your campain.

If you have your own material on this, or if you want to improvise, I'd be glad to see it. :)

My personal formula is, a small chanting, including a "poetic" description of the spell, then a Rune (used as a "key" to make the spell activate), and finally, the name of the spell. As a side formula, Spells that can be used as reactions and cantrips, use only the key-rune as the component.

Fireball:
I summon thy from Elemental Fire,
A point in that plane and this one,
Come forth, Consume, Propagate.
Kenaz: Fireball

Finger of Death
From Nine hells, through the shadowfell, and to this plane,
A spear that will pierce the life of my foes,
And render them my eternal servants.
Othel: Finger of Death

Lighting Bolt
I summon thy from Elemental Air,
To manifest my wrath uppon the world,
Charge, Cracle, Go Forth.
Thoris: Lighting Bolt

Those sound like they would take longer than 6 seconds to say. Not that it matters though.

In any case:

Thunderwave: FUS ROH DAH
Color Spray: Taste the Rainbow!
Suggestion: Would you kindly...

Enthrall: Like Jessie's girl. I wish that I had Jessie's girl. I want, I want Jessie's girl'

Fear: {A piercing otherworldly scream. Maybe just describe this one.}

Tasha's Hideous Laughter: What has two thumbs and wants to watch you die in 3 rounds?

Counterspell: { Same as the triggering spell but in sarcastic dumb guy voice.}


I might have lost the spirit of this

I like pop culture references. Some oblique, some obvious.

Generic: Azerath Metrion Zinthos!
Fire spell: BURN WITH ME.
Fear spell: Hum a lullaby slightly off-key
Knock: Open Sesame!
Lightning Bolt: SHAZAM!
Shield: Protego!

And if you like super campy and fun...

Otto's Irresistible Dance: Safety Dance

So, like this?

I am the dark that men desire
The mind's whisper in the air
And with my artful skills-
-I'll have thy will ensnared.
Dominate Person!

I stand upon the precipice of infinity
and gaze upon a shapeless void.
Mine is the will unbroken, the mind infinite
I call upon forces above and below, within and without
to make real my ultimate apotheosis.
Within nothing, I build a place upon the earth
forged by fire, fed by wind and quenched by sea
it unfolds beneath me, my ultimate creation.
It shall stand all the tests of time, eternal!
This act of my supreme power, I name thee-
Demiplane!

.. but probably less overwrought, right?
