Applications

Examples

Associations

Limitations

  • Magic Negation/Magic Destruction
  • May always be active.
  • May have side effects with incorrect grammar.
  • If the magic is activated by the user's native language, the spell might backfire.
    • This weakness may force the user to be silent or just learn a new language.
  • May need to know the meaning of the words to cast spells.
  • If they don't know the words to activate certain spells they can't achieve the desired effect.
  • Time consuming, especially for long-drawn incantations.
  • Enemies may predict the effect based on incantation and prepare countermeasures.
