The meanings of spell chants?

Mini Me · Post by **Mini Me** » Sat Jan 03, 2004 8:42 am

do they really mean anything? are they based on a pre-specified language from a DnD campaign?

the only one i can make sense of is the healing one
Vita Mortis Kaya (Gaya?)
Life, Death, and (i think) spirit

Most of 'em, at least, don't make any sense, and you'll even find the same words being used on occasion for entirely different spells.

I wonder how many people have sat there flailing their arms around saying the words to invisibility....

I think that they have based them on real world words, but muddled them and changed them. They don't sound real to me.

I think it is Vita Mortis Gaya...Gaya is all life.

Haha, you native english speakers sure are funny

The healing spells go "vita mortis cario" or "life death flesh".
Divination spells go "scio didici ecco" most of the time and mean "I know, I divine (as in guess), I see". All the words are (derived from) ancient Latin.
