THE LANGUAGE OF MAGICK (Patreon)

I've been quiet on the rules front this last couple of weeks as I resolve other projects and, on the LAWhammer side, prep up for streaming.

But, writing has still progressed. Most recently, I've been resolving the magic chapter of my house rules. In those, every spell I include has the lingua praestantia listed to cast it - i.e.: the magic words spoken by the wizard. To help with the correct pronunciation of these, and to add a little depth to our game world, I wrote a quick 1-page examination of Magick - the common name for the lingua praestantia. Find that attached to this post as a pdf.

This one draws heavily from the work of the marvellous Marijan von Staufer (MvS), who you may know as the author of the Liber Chaotica, Liber Necris, and much of WFRP2's Realms of Sorcery.  In particular, many of the deets used here are drawn from one of his Black Library Inferno articles from a couple of decades or so ago. I've always enjoyed his work, and he and I used to chat about magic in Warhammer a lot back in the day. I've adapted the useful bits from his article and expanded them as required for this little piece. I'll likely make a far larger article about lingua praestantia - or Magick - over on World Anvil, so this should provide a handy taster of what's to come over there.

As always, if you see any errors or have any queries, post over in the LAWhammer Discord server and I'll jump on it.
