The Magical Tongue

Incantare

The so-called "Magical Tongue" is referred to by scholars as "Incantare". The mage creates a charm or spell using his/her voice. By doing this, they create an effect. For the magi who are unfamiliar with the eight magics, trying to evoke a spell via incantations can be life-threatening, since all power is drawn from somewhere. The origin of magic as a whole has been debated by scholars for many, many years. Those who practice the black arts believe it is the mage who holds all the power, and who alone wills a spell to be cast. Incantare as a language is universal and believed to be primordial. The language's first recorded use was by the ancient Alfaeyn people that roamed Theyla in the Mythic Era. The Magi of today travel all across Theyla for various Alfaeyn ruins, for the language has been inscribed on their structures, and vast knowledge has yet been tapped into and understood. Overall, Incantare is a language that allows an individual to tap into the magical nature of not only Theyla but the world - and through this connection, cast spells.
