The most obvious way of getting the world to do what you want is by simply commanding it. After all, it works on people. However, telling rocks to get out of the way doesn't work very well. Clearly, we need to find the right words, magical words which force the rock to do as it's told. Such is the reasoning that has led to spells being associated with speech across the world. The nature of the words varies from plain English, through dodgy rhymes and ancient languages, to unpronounceable by human tongue. The more normal the words, the more stringent the other constraints on casting the spell will be. Making the rock move by shouting "Move!" will usually require rare talent or considerable preparation; making it moving by saying "Fthagnchmthesgf fprnjklmpt fhqwhgads" merely requires extreme verbal dexterity. Subtropes Accidental Incantation: A magic incantation is cast unintentionally. Language of Magic: Magic incantations are done in a special magic language. Latin Is Magic: Magic incantations are done in Latin. Rhyming Wizardry: Magic incantations are done in rhyming couplets. When the Language of Magic isn't human, it's usually explained as either theurgy - angels and demons insist on being addressed in their native tongue - or true names. The Great Big Book of Everything or Spell Book may contain incantations. Specific examples of magic incantations include By the Power of Grayskull!, Invocation, and many instance of Calling Your Attacks. Compare and contrast Words Can Break My Bones which is the usually shorter "words of power". Not to be confused with Invocation when this is done just for show. Compare Words Do Not Make The Magic for when the incantation itself is either irrelevant or else useless without the magical muscle to go with it. Compare I Know Your True Name for another way words can control sticks, stones, and bones. On the powerful end of the Power of Language scale. |

In the original Child's Play movies, whenever Chucky tries to transfer his soul into something, be it a human or another Good Guy doll, he has to knock them out and use a chant. The whole chant is a bit long, but it always starts with, "Ade due damballa, give me the power, I beg of you!" | |

Book of Brownies: The evil Golden Dwarf's sole weakness is a magical incantation that when uttered in his presence, will banish him to another world permanently. The main problem is that the incantation is a long, long word - Kerolamisticootalimarcawnokeeto - that nobody could remember, but the three titular brownies made it work by memorizing one-third of the chant each and say it in sequence. | |

In The Belgariad by David Eddings, sorcery functions through "the Will and the Word". They concentrate on what they want to happen and speak. What they actually say doesn't matter much, although Garion once gets told off for using "Push" to move a rock — because sorcerers lose respect if they going around telling things to "push" or "flop" instead of sounding impressively mystical. | |

In the Tales Series, spells seem to require this. The more powerful the spell, the longer the verbal incantation is, in most cases. However, the incantation can vary between different casters, implying that this is more to help the caster focus than to actually shape the spell. Can be subverted in Tales of Vesperia by using Overlimit, which will make the caster drop the usual incantation for a short phrase instead, greatly increasing the speed at which the spell is used. Most memorable is Rita, who'll literally just say "Blah, Blah, Blah" followed by the spell name. |

This trope is later lampshaded in a late episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, when Roboppi mentions how long Ai's summoning chant for "Dark Knight @Ignister" is, causing him to stop and wrap up the rest of the chant. During that scene, Ai is chanting while no summoning animation is happening; the camera is only focusing on him. It's clear that Ai makes his chants up, which is shown later during his duel with Playmaker when he chants during the summoning of "The Arrival Cyberse @Ignister" and he tries to come up with six adjectives for the six Ignis, but only comes up for five ("Superior! Splendid! Stunning! Elegant! Super!") and then he spontaneously adds "Ultra super!". Again, for a majority of the chant, the camera is focusing on Ai again. | |

Harry Potter: Each spell has a short incantation, usually in dog Latin, and there is an advanced technique to cast spells by thinking the incantation rather than speaking it. Though the wizard's intent matters to an extent, misspeaking the incantation can cause a Magic Misfire, and a wizard can use some incantations without knowing in advance what they'll do. | |

In Champions of Far'aus, priest magic works by having the priest or priestess make motions to draw their deity’s symbol in the air in front of them while they recite the incantation set by their deity for that particular spell, which then activates when the caster makes contact with it. It’s noted in World Of Far’aus, that no pre-existing magical ability is required to cast magic this way, but that if the caster has some other means of getting the job done quicker, it’s usually the better option, especially if the Deity who came up with the incantations made them really long because it sounds cool. | |

The Dresden Files has many interesting examples. Each wizard can attach a meaning to a particular word. However, if they attach a meaning/spell to a word that they use often (e.g. fire) it could be messy. Thus, wizards generally use a language that they are not intimately familiar with, or they use a bastardized version of a language. Rituals, a type of spell that can be done by non-wizards by calling on another entity, do seem to require a specific form of words. Sometimes the failure of the incantation can be from mispronouncing the word and this results in a backlash of magic on the summoner. Mantle magic is magic a person gains from obtaining a magical power from an external power. This is described like uploading new software to the person's mind. Like wizards above, now to access that power, they need to enter a command word to call on that specific power or action. |

In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, The Winged Dragon of Ra, was one of the earliest examples that was summoned via a chant. Unlike other examples, the player must recite the ancient Egyptian text in order to command Ra, otherwise it'd be stuck in its useless Sphere Mode. Even the opposing player would be able to take control of Ra as long as they are able to say the chant. In the Japanese version, the player even reads it out loud in some "magic" Egyptian language. | |

In the Discworld, wizards use incantations, but back it up with potent props (sometimes stripped down to a small stick and 3cc of mouse blood if they're summoning Death). Witches tend to dispense with this. When Magrat Garlick had to open a locked door with magic, she spoke to it, got into its mind, and got it to remember when it was part of a green, growing, living, tree. The planks of the door then erupted into growth and opened a gap. Granny Weatherwax approved of the technique but said if it had been her, she's have gone into the rocks around it and prodded their memories of when they were all runny and liquid in a volcano. | |

In The Elenium and The Tamuli, Religion is Magic and mages cast spells by asking well-disposed gods for assistance through carefully worded prayer in the god's preferred language. A rare few, like Sparhawk and Sephrenia, have close enough relationships with the gods to bypass the process — effectively direct-dialing the deity instead of submitting a form letter. | |

The spells of the Grimmerie in Wicked. One example: Elphaba chants the incantation "Eleka nahmen nahmen / Ah tum ah tum eleka nahmen" followed by the plain English "Let his flesh not be torn / Let his blood leave no stain..." As she continues, however, she laments that she doesn't even know what good the chanting is or what she's reading, though, as it turns out, it actually has the effect of turning Fiyero into the Scarecrow. | |

In The Order of the Stick, the verbal component of casting any spell is simply saying the name of the spell, as per the D&D rulebooks. For metamagic feats, the feat's name is appended to the spell's. For spells with a long casting time, the name is repeated over and over. | |

In Turning Red, this is subverted. There is no specific incantation that must be said for the red panda-sealing ritual. Any song will work, be it a Cantonese chant or a hit song by a Boy Band, so long as it comes from the heart. | |

Butterbean's Cafe: The show has one where the titular character is about to top the episode's featured meal with the Fairy Finish. In "The Legend of the Shadow Bean!," Butterbean and her team use the incantation song "Fairy strong and fairy bright, in the darkness, find your light," which causes their wings and part of their outfits to glow in the dark. |

Magic in Slayers requires an incantation of at least the name. Whether the full incantation of a spell is required seems to be based on whatever flows better in the show, but powerful spells NEED the incantation (Lina's big three spells are never cast without incantation, except when she used Dragon Slave to comically abuse Gourry.) The official explanation is that the Chaos Words (in-universe term for the incantation) are needed for the full power of a spell, but the spell-caster can skip the incantation to get the spell off faster if they're familiar enough with it. In Slayers:The Motion Picture, the incantation is different. |

The Power of Words in Yggdra Union and Blaze Union is an insanely powerful, face-meltingly rare ability that essentially lets the user play with reality using only magic and self-created incantations. There's only one person who's ever mastered it in the realm of Ancardia (that would be Nessiah), and the hell that said person went through to master it ought to be enough to discourage anybody else from trying. The general-use magic system in Ancardia, Tactics Cards, was set up by the Power of Words but can be used by any character via Invocation. | |

The Owl House: The show doesn't generally revolve on using incantations since all witches do is just draw a circle in mid-air to activate most spells (Luz, a human, has to use glyph magic). However, a proper incantation was used in "Hooty's Moving Hassle" to activate the Moonlight Conjuring spell. | |

Dungeons & Dragons: Outside 4th Edition, most spells have "verbal components" that need to be spoken when they're cast. Onlookers can identify a spell by its verbal components (with training) and can silence a spellcaster to prevent them from casting. Some abilities, like the 3rd Edition feat "Silent Spell", counter this requirement. | |

Magic users in The Lord of the Rings sometimes use incantations and sometimes don't - exactly why is never made clear, though as a professional philologist Tolkien certainly had respect for the power of language. Some individuals, such as certain elves and Maiar, uses songs instead. Gandalf's utterances during spellcasting are generally fairly straightforward phrases like "Fire take the werewolves" spoken in Quenya. He also makes reference at one point to a "Word of Power" (in a way that suggests his usual spells are not Words of Power), but we don't actually hear what it is so it's not clear what language it was in. | |

In Gargoyles, spell incantations were in Latin unless the caster was one of Oberon's Children. or from a different magical tradition like the Jewish/Kabbalahist in 'Golem' or the Emir in 'Grief'. They used incantations in Hebrew and English but the Emir's incantation referenced Egyptian deities. Also, a caster of significant power could use one-word incantations, like the Archmage with the Eye of Odin, Phoenix Gate, and Grimorum Arcanorum all adding to his power. Word of God is that certain languages, such as Latin and Hebrew, are simply better for this sort of thing than modern English (at least if you're a mortal wizard- Children of Oberon don't seem bound by language and just say what they want to happen, usually in rhyme). |

It should be noted that certain chants vary depending on the user. Both, Yusei and Jack have different chants for Stardust Dragon. But most of the time, the chants are the same for the same monster. Aki uses the same chant Yusei uses for Stardust Dragon, and Yusei uses the same chants the other Signers use for their respective dragons. Each monster that has a summoning chant almost always stick with the same chant in the Japanese version and the players never fail to recite the chants. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, the summoning chants for Fusion Summons also reference each Fusion Material, which is the only part of the chant that may differ from time to time, but the rest stays the same, with only the single exception of Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, who has two summoning chants, one by Yuri and one by Yuya. | |

In the Nasuverse, arias spoken by magi are actually forms of self-hypnosis to improve their magecraft; the actual words hold no power. Only two examples are shown where the actual words are magical. First, in The Garden of Sinners, there's someone who learned a language that allows him to change reality by describing the world differently than it is. Second, there's Caster in Fate/stay night, who uses the language of the Age of Gods, which is apparently such that the words themselves are fully-formed spells. Both languages are impossible for modern humans to learn. High-level magi can also shorten their incantations, most notably with Notarikon. The most extreme is Cornelius Alba, who can incant eight lines in under two seconds and create a thousand-degree flame. |

The Shinza Bansho Series absolutely loves this trope with lengthy incantations invoking reality-shattering effects for almost every named character, with effects ranging from simply turning the user into a living flame to more extreme ones such as the complete destruction of everything. As a general rule, these incantations are all about the user invoking their desires and wishes upon the world, overwriting the old reality with their own with some select few being able to make these effects permanent across all of creation. Additionally, the characters themselves never come up with them and they are instead their subconscious desires expressed in the form of words. The first activation is also completely out of their control and they are chanting them without conscious input. | |

Let your power shine. Make the clock reverse. Bring back what once was mine. Heal what has been hurt. Change the Fates' design. Save what has been lost. Bring back what once was mine. What once was mine, the Hurt Incantationnote Wither and decay. End this destiny. Break these earthly chains, and set the spirit free. Take what has been hurt. Grant them no mercy. Bend and break the reigns, and set the spirit free. The spirit free, the Moon Incantationnote Crescent high above, evolving as you go. Raise what lies beneath, and let the darkness grow. Bend it to my will. Consume the sunlight's glow. Rise into the sky, and let the darkness grow. Let darkness grow, and The Sun Incantationnote Power of the sun. Gift me with your light. Shine into the dark. Restore our fading sight. Rise into the dawn. Blazing star so bright. Burn away the strife. Let my hope ignite. Let hope ignite. All but the first are introduced over the course of the series. When a new one pops up, you'd best get ready for a doozy of a Wham Episode. | |

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power: The Istar from the meteorite is revealed to be capable of magic. Despite his amnesia, he instinctively chants spells in Quenya by using words like "� keuta" (Restore, renew, refresh), "� envinyata" (Heal), "Lótë" (Flower), "� kuita" (Live), to revive a tree or heal a wound. Galadriel can use incantations too. She commands her horse in Sindarin to run faster with the words "noro lim". |

In the Yu-Gi-Oh! franchise, characters use individual summon chants when summoning powerful monsters, starting from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds (even prior in dubs of previous series). The summon chants add a little bit of dialogue during the summoning sequence and describe the character of the duelist and/or the monster. The incantations are not necessary at all, but summoning monsters without the chants makes the sequences rather dull. This trope is later lampshaded in a late episode of Yu-Gi-Oh! VRAINS, when Roboppi mentions how long Ai's summoning chant for "Dark Knight @Ignister" is, causing him to stop and wrap up the rest of the chant. During that scene, Ai is chanting while no summoning animation is happening; the camera is only focusing on him. It's clear that Ai makes his chants up, which is shown later during his duel with Playmaker when he chants during the summoning of "The Arrival Cyberse @Ignister" and he tries to come up with six adjectives for the six Ignis, but only comes up for five ("Superior! Splendid! Stunning! Elegant! Super!") and then he spontaneously adds "Ultra super!". Again, for a majority of the chant, the camera is focusing on Ai again. It should be noted that certain chants vary depending on the user. Both, Yusei and Jack have different chants for Stardust Dragon. But most of the time, the chants are the same for the same monster. Aki uses the same chant Yusei uses for Stardust Dragon, and Yusei uses the same chants the other Signers use for their respective dragons. Each monster that has a summoning chant almost always stick with the same chant in the Japanese version and the players never fail to recite the chants. In Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V, the summoning chants for Fusion Summons also reference each Fusion Material, which is the only part of the chant that may differ from time to time, but the rest stays the same, with only the single exception of Starve Venom Fusion Dragon, who has two summoning chants, one by Yuri and one by Yuya. In Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, The Winged Dragon of Ra, was one of the earliest examples that was summoned via a chant. Unlike other examples, the player must recite the ancient Egyptian text in order to command Ra, otherwise it'd be stuck in its useless Sphere Mode. Even the opposing player would be able to take control of Ra as long as they are able to say the chant. In the Japanese version, the player even reads it out loud in some "magic" Egyptian language. |

The Courtship of Princess Leia: The Witches of Dathomir mostly speak to work spells, aside from very minor ones. Teneniel is astonished that Luke can do "magic" (as she thinks of it) just by thought alone. He explains this is how Jedi learn, and so it seems Witches have inadvertently limited themselves by requiring chants to use Force powers. | |

Teen Titans. Raven uses many of these. One of the more memorable ones is, when speaking of Trigon: Raven's usual magical chant is "Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" In addition to sounding downright cool, the phrase has significant meaning: "Azarath" is her home dimension (and by extension, Trigon's domain), "Metrion" is her real name, and "Zinthos" was the name of a pet raven she had as a child. (Yes, seriously.) |

Early editions of The Dark Eye had actual short rhymed incantations with every spell for the players of spellcasting characters, with a literal "if you don't say it, your character doesn't cast it" approach. This was gradually phased out later. | |

In the Emerald City episode "Prison of the Abject", Glinda makes much fuss over West's "tongue" prior to East's funeral in the chapel - she seems to believe that West's drug habit will interfere with her ability to "sing her [East] to rest." The ceremony itself consists of much indecipherable chanting on the part of both Glinda and West, as well as some gyrating and thrashing from West before she sucks the spells out of East's corpse and ingests them. | |

Doctor Who: "Wons sa etihw saw eceelf reh, bmal elttil a dah yram!" "The Shakespeare Code": Carrionite "technology" is described as this. Humans and other species use numbers. To humans, the right equation can split the atom. To the Carrionites, they need just find the right word or words. The Carrionites, a witch-like alien species, bewitches Shakespeare and controls his actions so the final verse of his work Love's Labours Won will rip open a hole to the prison their people reside in. At the climax, the Doctor has Shakespeare come up with a sonnet to banish the Carrionites. With the help of the Doctor to provide coordinate information, the wordsmith stumbles on what to rhyme with, "a tinker's cuss" and Martha, the Doctor's companion, provides him with Expelliarmus. |

Final Fantasy Tactics: All manner of spell casters will sometimes call out an incantation (such as "Aurora, exhale bloody air! Dark Holy!") The catch is that the incantations appear at random. You can generally pick out a player's favorite class because they'll have certain incantations burned into their memory, due to using the spell enough to see it frequently. Sadly, this was removed entirely from the remake. |

In A Wizard in Rhyme, any rhyme can have the magical power to make what it describes come true. The quality of the verse can make a difference: a well-phrased, well-loved old song packs a lot more power than a slapdash off-the-cuff couplet, for example. | |

Negima! Magister Negi Magi does this in Latin, Ancient Greek, Sanskrit, and so forth, requiring at least an activation key word/phrase before each spell, then the incantation itself. It's possible to use magic without one for speed/surprise, but the spell will be less effective. Also notable is that the spell after being spoken can be held for approximately 20 sec, giving the wizard a greater ability for surprise. Unincanted, delayed, and fully incanted spells can themselves be stacked atop others of their own kind, and each other as well, leaving little limitation to the wizard besides their Mana pool and skill. Incantation length is, to some extent, a central part of the series' mechanics. Because spells cannot be cast with incomplete incantations unless the caster is reasonably powerful or has studied specifically to do so or both, mages often pair up with frontline fighters so that the opponent's fighters can't attack and interrupt the mage's spell. Incantation length was also a deciding factor during Negi's fight with Chao; Chao attempted to cast a very powerful spell, but its incantation was too long, and Negi was able to fire off a powerful spell of his own before she was able to finish. |

Akashic Records of Bastard Magic Instructor has a detailed system of these. In this series, incantations are used by a magician to alter their own state of mind so they can cast a spell, which has several implications. Changing the incantations alters the output of a spell, in a manner that seems random but is actually predictable from how the incantation was changed. Skilled magicians can shorten their incantations without weakening their spells, but this is noted to increase the chances of an accident. Really skilled magicians can cast spells using incantations that have nothing to do with the nature of the spell. | |
