Sample incantations



Reproduced below is a set of incantations recently performed to great success, presented here as an illustration not only of their grammar and structure but of their power.
  • Klathanu ghuritak, jyrtav vrisy me koryt wongo sry tsesy!
  • klathan-uspirit-voc.pl ghur-it-akdeep-gen.sg-the jyrt-a-voffering-acc.sg-this.inan vri-sytake-imp.2pl meand kor-yt1-gen.pl wong-oheart-acc.pl srytogether tse-sybind-imp.2pl
  • Spirits of the deep, take this offering and bind our hearts together!
Prior to performing the incantation, the practitioners used salt to form a ring around the vicinity and draw a pentagram within it. This allowed them to make contact with the spirits of the deep. Then, they recited this incantation in unison, which mingled their souls and allowed them to communicate without words.
  • Klathanu ghuritak, stumyn krinuraf kertak fosy!
  • klathan-uspirit-voc.pl ghur-it-akdeep-gen.sg-the stu-mynfreeze-past.part krin-ur-afcreature-dat.pl-this.anim kert-a-klife-acc.sg-the fo-sygive-imp.2pl
  • Spirits of the deep, give these frozen creatures life!
The practitioners formed rings of ash around individual statues, which they then brought to life with this incantation.
  • Klathanu ghuritak, krinytaf wongo glo koryt bona tsesy!
  • klathan-uspirit-voc.pl ghur-it-akdeep-gen.sg-the krin-yt-afcreature-gen.pl-this.anim wong-oheart-acc.pl gloto kor-yt1-gen.pl bon-awill-acc.sg tse-sybind-imp.2pl
  • Spirits of the deep, bind these creatures' hearts to our will!
After bringing the statues to life, the practitioners used this incantation to gain control of them. The statues became almost extensions of the practitioners' bodies.

As the above true-life example demonstrates, even a rudimentary understanding of the Language of the Book can bring a great deal of power. Please use this power wisely.
