Words Can Break My Bones	comment	Abracadabra! Another magic trope that is Older Than Dirt, the idea of words that hold magic power unto themselves has been around since Ancient Egypt. Often paired and sometimes lumped with the power of True Names, words of power are common parts of a wizard's bag of tricks. Words of Power may be a part of a Language of Magic but are distinct in several ways. Words of power have fairly rigidly defined effects. With the Language Of Magic you can write spells while words of power are the spell. While words of power may be part of a Language Of Magic, it is not always so, or if they are it may not be explicitly said to be so, or the language in question may be a lost or fragmented one. Other defining features: words of power tend to be comparatively short utterances â€” short phrases at most â€” that one can fire and forget rather quickly instead of a longer incantation. Offensive-leaning words frequently hit for massive damage and may be a justification for Calling Your Attacks and Invocation. In a fairly frequent variation of this, the word itself is variable and the character themself has the ability to imbue it with power. Put enough will and maybe some Applied Phlebotinum behind carefully chosen words and you can potentially deliver spiritual hurting as well as physical. In some visual media this is sometimes displayed with a Sight Gag of the written word impacting the character. A subtrope of Language Of Magic. Compare to I Know Your True Name (which was split from this). Contrast and compare Magical Incantation. Compare to Brown Note, which includes sounds, images and larger written works that have powerful negative effects on the audience. Contrast Super-Scream, where it's the act of speaking that causes the damage, and the words shouted are secondary if they're even intelligible. See also Ritual Magic. Harsh Word Impact is a metafictional version. Also compare Speak of the Devil and The Scottish Trope. If the words themselves have no inherent power, but a character is still harmed by them, that's Verbal Weakness. If words provoke a fight by being hurtful in the ordinary way, thatâ€™s a Fisticuff-Provoking Comment. Works using this trope will often discuss The Power of Language. Rhyming Wizardry often results in this.

Paul, being the Kwisatz Haderach, develops this ability to the point where he can indeed kill with it, and threatens to use it on the Reverend Mother Mohiam during the climax unless she stops opposing him.

Fortunately, the effect can be reversed by speaking another magic word, "kwi". Unfortunately, the necklace, upon being put on, turns into a tattoo on the wearers chest, and cannot be removed.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_1f76648	comment	This appears several times in A Certain Magical Index. In its first form, magicians must first state their magic name to begin using their actual magic. We later see Index in her Johan's Pen mode utter the words "Eli Eli Lama Sabachthani?" literally "God, God, why have you forsaken me?" to power up a spell specifically to destroy Stiyl's Flame Summon. Towards the end, this trope is again invoked when Index interferes with the control spells in place on a golem simply by uttering English letters in certain sequences; they're the initials of each word in a sentence that issues a specific command, e.g. "TTTR" stands for "Turn To The Right", which forces the golem to swing its arm to its right instead of striking her.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_41b0198a	comment	In The Dresden Files, wizards choose either nonsense words or a dead language as a link to their power, and those become their spells. They could pick words in their own language, but this is dangerous, since using a language you can't speak creates a mental barrier that helps protect the wizard from energy backlash. It's also possible to cast spells without using words at all, and simply shaping the magic with your mind, but it is also incredibly painful. Harry equates it with all his bones being lit on fire at once.

The Church Knights, given special dispensation to take on non-church tutors in mystical arts are the primary users. This leads to the hilarious revelation later that they probably didn't have to go outside their own religion. Normally, the prayer must be spoken in the god's chosen language, but Sparhawk, by virtue of having more direct contact with several deities, usually uses more direct methods to get the results he wants. This is to the point that when he starts reciting a formal prayer in the fifth book, his patron takes time out to question his sanity.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_5e16d550	comment	Black Clover: Zagred possesses Word Soul Magic, which allows him to manipulate his environment through speech: by saying such things as "lightning lance", "iron spear" or "earth shield", he can conjure constructs of physical matter as described by his words and use them to attack his enemies; being physical matter instead of magical constructs, they cannot be absorbed or dispelled like regular magic. This extends to words like "bind", "split open" or "crumble", which enacts such effects on his target, and he can even use it to heal his injuries simply by saying "heal". Zagred can amp up the horror factor by speaking words in his native devil tongue, which can summon a trident capable of breaking down matter or even Eldritch Abominations from the Underworld. Two major limitations of this magic are that Zagred cannot use it to command people to die and that he cannot use it to block Yami's Dark Magic, which can affect beings from the Underworld.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_60f0e7cc	comment	Holo-Chronicles: Aloe Mano's main ability of autosuggestion can be seen as a cracked out version of Inumaki's ability above. They can both affect the world around them with their words, but that's about where the similarities end. Not only can Aloe actually control whether or not her speech has any effect on her opponent, but she possesses none of the energy nor physicality limitations that restrict Inumaki's ability, meaning that unlike him, she actually can straight up tell her opponent to die and be done with it. Combined with her Demon Trait, it even lets her abilities affect the mental strength and emotions of her target, allowing her to eliminate your combat skills and such or even inflict select emotional states such as sadness or anger. And the worst part? Covering your ears will not work. Her voice itself needs to be eliminated for this power to not be an issue. While there is apparently a very simple counter to it, it is currently unknown, as Aloe herself isn't telling and Sora respects her decision not to.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_6ac55ec7	comment	Dungeons & Dragons: The most famous examples are the "Power Word" spells, including the ones for Blind, Kill and Stun. Power Word: Kill is as bad as it sounds: target within range with certain amount of HP/hit dice drops dead, no saving throw. Similar and related are certain rune spells such as Symbol of Death - yep, it's at least as nasty if you step on it. The dark speech, as introduced in the Book of Vile Darkness, is capable of damaging solid objects and driving people insane, as well as forming a component of seriously nasty (by D&D standards) magic. The Various Splatbooks feature tons of variants on this trope. Warlocks can shatter objects, disable flight, and turn people into frogs just by saying single words of the black speech. The Dracolexi Prestige Class can light people on fire just by speaking Draconic. But the one class that takes this trope to the extreme is the Truenamer from Tome Of Magic, who can temporarily reprogram the universe. Theoretically. Fourth Edition introduced the bard power "Vicious Mockery", which causes psychic damage and is described in fluff as a string of vulgarities and insults, allows a player to literally talk someone to death. I prepared Explosive Runes this morning. Every spell with a verbal component fits the trope. Though most of the damaging ones also require a physical component, there are few non-attack, purely spoken spells that can be cleverly used to break bones. Tenebrous's/Orcus's last word was so powerful that the utterance could instantly slay even deities. In fact, it was so powerful that unless you were a true god, usage of this word would eventually burn you out. After Tenebrous's shenanigans, a cabal of greater deities greatly lessened the power of the word. 3E and 3.5E have a whole family of spells that do this to creatures of the opposite alignment. A cleric who casts Holy Word (seen in action in The Order of the Stick #859) causes any non-good creature within 40 feet to suffer an escalating series of effects depending on the difference between the caster level and the victim's hit dice. If the two values match, the subject is merely deafened, whereas if the difference is ten or more, the subject is deafened, blinded, paralyzed, and killed instantly. Also, non-good extraplanar creatures are immediately banished. Holy Word's counterparts for the other alignments are Blasphemy (affects non-evil subjects), Dictum (affects non-lawful subjects), and Word of Chaos (affects non-chaotic subjects).

An enraged Southern Gentlemans can belt out fiery invective that scorches enemies all around (the F-bombs are literal here), icy rhetoric that freezes enemies in place, and if particularly furious can curse foes out in Black Speech, turning their surroundings into a disaster area.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_6cb2d709	comment	The magic words of the Harry Potter seem to fit here on the face of it, since it's important to say the right words to cast a particular spell, although the words alone aren't enough; you've got to be a wizard with a wand and you've got to say them just right and in some cases you've got to have the right willpower behind it. It's not otherwise explained much or known if they're part of a Language of Magic, but most of them are pseudo-Latin. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince even shows evidence that someone came up with a new spell after trying out different made-up words until coming up with one that worked, although if that's all there is to it, that's kind of random. Magic can be performed without saying the words but just thinking them, which Snape tried to teach in Half-Blood Prince. It's hard though, so many wizards still use incantations when outside of areas in which a non-verbal spell is required, like a battle.

In the original comics Nobita uses it as an easy means of transportation (by hopping on frozen words and letting it propel himself across the air) but later stops using the gadget when his words unintentionally caused an accident. Said gadget was a one-shot in the original series but returns with more prominence in the post-2005 movies like Doraemon: Nobita and the Island of Miracles ~Animal Adventure~, Doraemon: Great Adventure in the Antarctic Kachi Kochi and Doraemon: Nobita's Chronicles of the Moon Exploration, usually used by Gian, the loudest in the gang, to blast words at enemies.

Many of the most significant magical acts in the series are not of the fire and brimstone variety, but rather acts of word or song that influence the nature of their surroundings in the speaker's favour. Names also have a power, and Treebeard warns Merry and Pippin against giving out their right names lightly. Gandalf explicitly says he used a "Word of Power" to seal a door against a Balrog.

Nobody knows what they mean, but nothing can stand against them - and when they're spoken in this way, it's said that someone close to the Servant, someone they value dearly, dies within seven days.

Bugs keeps saying the words at random, even making up a song about them, causing the Count to turn into a bat and back at the most inopportune times. Bugs then starts getting creative. Topping it off, Bugs himself grows bat wings just by singing "Abraca-pocus". In the short Yankee Dood It, the word "Jehoshaphat" has the power to turn elves into mice, and Sylvester the cat tries to make his master repeat the word so he can make lunch out of an elf. The word "Rumplestiltskin" is used to change him back.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_920bdb7c	comment	Kill Six Billion Demons: The Art of Lying to the Face of God requires the user vocalize the result at least partially, so the most common visible sign of magic is someone speaking something into existence and it happening. The God-Empress Mottom is a powerful enough liar that she can can convert people into flower petals with a whisper, or turn them into trees with a sentence. Meti's manual indicates Meti herself tried to kill with just her words, as part of her use of Killing Intent as the weapon, but words were "too soft" for it. Presumably, since her style is to distill the act of Cutting Down Your Opponent to its barest essentials, without even thought having a part, language as a whole just didn't mesh. Angels are believed to be incapable of lying as a result of having the Old Law (i.e. the In-Universe Word of God) hammered into their being: In reality, they can, but it is damaging to them. And then there is Metatron 1, God's scribe and the oldest angel, who has knowledge of YISUN's voice. Metatron cannot lie, because anything he says is true. Himself, the King of the Devils, is so thoroughly at odds with the laws of reality thanks to being an Oxymoronic Being that even casual speech can damage his surroundings. When Allison talks to him, we see his speech bubbles actively corroding the bars of his prison as their tails wrap around them.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Nirn's dragons are the divine children of the chief deity of the Nine Divines Pantheon, Akatosh, the Dragon God of Time. (They also may be fragments of his actual being, and serve of a role similar to being very destructive angels.) They inherently speak a Language of Magic which gives them small scale Reality Warping powers. Essentially, they "make real" whatever they speak in this language. For example, when a Dragon is "breathing" fire, they're technically commanding fire to come into existence, and battles between dragons are essentially very loud debates. In the ancient past, the dragons and their Dragon Cults took over much of Skyrim. Seeking a way to defeat the Dragons and their Cults, the ancient Proud Warrior Race Nords prayed to the Divines for aid. Their prayers were answered and they were taught how to use the language of the Dragons themselves, which they called the Thu'um (or the "Voice"). Led by the Tongues, masters of the Thu'um, the ancient Nord armies vanquished the dragons and their Cults, then forged an Empire that covered nearly all of north Tamriel. A succession crisis would eventually tear it apart, and then the use of the Thu'um as a weapon of war dropped dramatically after their defeat at the Battle of Red Mountain, following which one of those Tongues (Jurgen Windcaller) founded the "Way of the Voice" to use the Thu'um only honor the gods. In modern times, the Greybeards continue to follow Windcaller's "Way of the Voice." They live in a monastery known as High Hrothgar near the top of the Throat of the World, the tallest mountain in Tamriel. So powerful is their Thu'um that they are usually sworn to silence in order to not destroy everything around them simply by talking. Even their faintest whispers are known to shake the mountain on which they live. They Greybeards accept anyone who wishes to learn the Thu'um and follow the Way of the Voice. It is explained that anyone can learn to use Thu'um, but it takes a great deal of training, mostly to learn the true meaning of the words in the shout. Anyone can try speaking it, but you need to put your soul into it for magic to happen. How powerful are the Greybeards' voices? When they called Wulfharth, the immortal demigod champion/possible avatar of Shor, to High Hrothgar, they blasted him to dust just to show him what it will be like when he gets betrayed by Tiber Septim. Skyrim is the first game in the series in which the Thu'um is seen in action. The Player Character is a legendary Dragonborn (or Dovahkiin), a rare mortal blessed by Akatosh with the immortal Aedric soul of a dragon. Akatosh creates those who are Dragonborn to be the natural predators of the Dragons, being capable of ending their Resurrective Immortality by absorbing their souls and using those souls to increase their mastery of the Thu'um. After being revealed as a Dragonborn, he/she will be summoned by the Greybeards to High Hrothgar for training. When they call for the Dragonborn, all of Skyrim can hear it. Others in Skyrim are revealed to be able to use the Thu'um as well. Ulfric Stormcloak, leader of the Stormcloak rebellion, studied with the Greybeards and used the Thu'um to win his duel with High King Torygg, kickstarting the Skyrim Civil War. Additionally, many of the Draugr Elite Mooks (the ones with the words "death," "over," or "lord" somewhere in their names) were the leaders of the ancient Dragon Cults and can use the Thu'um as well. Miraak, the first Dragonborn and Big Bad of the Dragonborn DLC as well as the Superboss Ebony Warrior can also use the Thu'um. Online introduces Daedric Titans, dragons who have been corrupted by Molag Bal, the Daedric Prince of Domination and Corruption. While stated to be only a "crude imitation" of the "true" Thu'um, Titans possess the ability to speak a spell of flaming essence-drain that can debilitate an opponent with a single word.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_a2c37f38	comment	In Planescape: Torment, the museum/art gallery has a "statue" which is actually a wizard who was petrified just before he could utter what's allegedly the most vile curse in existence. A player can potentially restore him, whereupon he completes his tirade. The resultant profanities are so utterly vile they strike you dead.) Doing this is one of the ways the player can enhance Morte's Taunt special attack.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_a465e6bd	comment	Jujutsu Kaisen: Toge Inumaki's cursed technique is known as Cursed Speech, and it allows him to control the world around him with his words. For example, saying "blow away" will knock someone back by a truckload, and telling someone to "run away" will force their bodies to follow the order. However, he suffers from Power Incontinence as the ability is always active, hence his character quirk of only speaking in onigiri ingredients: they're the only thing he can say without risk of unleashing a powerful attack. He also does not possess any Required Secondary Powers and will wear his vocal chords out if his powers are overtaxed either by overuse, usage of overly powerful words like "die", or usage against an overly powerful opponent, so he keeps cough medicine on his person at all times.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_a5549ed0	comment	The Bible: The Book of John starts out with "In the beginning was the Word..." This is the authors way of stressing the primacy of Jesus, as the Word of God incarnate. In Greek it's "á¼˜Î½ á¼€Ï�Ï‡á¿‡ á¼¦Î½ á½� Î»ÏŒÎ³Î¿Ï‚." Granted, "word" is one possible translation of "Î»ÏŒÎ³Î¿Ï‚", but so are "argument" and "study" (hence any English word that ends in "-logy") and probably a few other meanings besides. The medieval theologian Erasmus translated it as "sermon," which may be seen as a sign of how important Scholastic works on religion were getting to be at the time. And then there's the parodies. In the beginning was the Word... "And the word was 'Hey you!'" "And before it was ever spoken aloud it was written in this book." "And it was written by a baboon." "Then came the fucking word processor." There is also Jesus Christ basically scolding a storm, getting it to abate, bringing people Back from the Dead by asking them, healing people by saying it would be so, knocking people on their butts by simply saying "I am He" (or more literally "I AM"), or expelling demons by ordering them to leave. This is because, as the Son of God, he has absolute authority over the world, nature, life, and everything else (save the free will that was given to humanity by God). And it is also mentioned that one could do the same, even simply tell a mountain to move and it would do so, if one has faith as small as a mustard seed.

Gyges the hekatonkheire can do an especially powerful version of this, as each of his fifty heads can intone a different chant at once. Instead of recognizable words, Gyges' spellcasting consists of a cacophony of ear-grating sounds with no particularly obvious meaning.

What happens is that if his Stand hits another person, words get written on him or, her which start to call out whatever the word is in an increasing volume. Next is when he makes a word and throws it onto something if someone touches the word the effect will take place. For example, touching the word "whooooosh" blows someone away, touching "burn" cause someone to catch on fire, and touching "bounce" will cause someone to bounce off the object the word is attached to, regardless of how sharp the object is normally, without harm. In part 7, the character Sandman gets a similar Stand, though his also seems to be contagious. It's exactly as confusing as it sounds.

A cleric who casts Holy Word (seen in action in The Order of the Stick #859) causes any non-good creature within 40 feet to suffer an escalating series of effects depending on the difference between the caster level and the victim's hit dice. If the two values match, the subject is merely deafened, whereas if the difference is ten or more, the subject is deafened, blinded, paralyzed, and killed instantly. Also, non-good extraplanar creatures are immediately banished. Holy Word's counterparts for the other alignments are Blasphemy (affects non-evil subjects), Dictum (affects non-lawful subjects), and Word of Chaos (affects non-chaotic subjects).

Attempts to study it tend to set things on fire, ranging from the material it's written on to would-be cryptophilologists themselves. Writing Correspondence symbols in lead seems to mitigate the issue, but only to an extent. It's also known to make the reader's eyes bleed. Sunless Sea, set in the same universe, goes even further with it: There's monsters out there in the Unterzee that are fluent in Correspondence, and have been known to sink frigates just by talking at them. A quest in Sunless Sea takes it further and mixes it with I Know Your True Name. Namely, finding your own "Burning Name" which will send you on a very long and ahem reality-challenged quest to go to a rather exotic locale. Performing the ritual involves speaking your Name (which burns you. horribly.) and having every single member of your crew constantly singing a song that protects you from the Alien Geometries stopping you from just zailing there.

He's only defeated when it's revealed one of our heroes has gotten so used to being insulted in her life that the monster's power can't affect her. Interestingly, the monster is based on a Japanese Obake that, itself, suffers from Words Can Break My Bones...in reverse: it "feeds" off of a person's inner thoughts, repeating them in the open when they latch onto someone, and only by emptying your mind of all thoughts can you drive away (or even kill) the creature. Of course, the Shinkengers themselves indulge in this trope with their "Mojikara", or "word magic"; essentially, they use traditional Japanese calligraphy (written in the correct brushstroke) to create or invoke certain things, such as summoning a horse by writing out the kanji for "horse". (The Samurai Rangers do the same, but their "Samurai Symbols of Power" were never acknowledged as an actual written language.) The team's Sixth Ranger, unfortunately, sucks at penmanship, so he does his mojikara through self-invented magitek cell phone texting.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_e199d649	comment	In Christopher Paolini's Inheritance Cycle the elven language is the Language of Magic and spells are more or less words of power taken from it. Want a big fire or an explosive arrow? Just yell "Brisingr!" and you're all done. (So long as you've got access to magic, that is. It won't do you much good otherwise.) Yeah... Just don't try to bless babies until you learn more about sentence structure. Then, in the final book, Galbatorix learns the name of the ancient language, giving him complete control over all magic. Good thing he uses it stupidly; Sanity Has Advantages.

There's even a 't-inserter' that's sought after by the rebel faction because of how incredibly versatile the ability to insert the letter t in any word can be.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_e48493b3	comment	In Ultima and Ultima Online, spell systems use a series of these, fragments of a Language of Magic that are each imbued with a different power according to their meaning. Spells are made by combining them with material reagents. Which turned out to be the normal spoken language of the Gargoyles. Which can give you a headache if you think about it too much. In addition, Ultima V had magic words called Words of Power, magical triggers that undid the sealing spells on the dungeons.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_e4854399	comment	An interesting variation in MÃ—0: Fumi Izuno's magic object is a calligraphy brush, and her ability is that everything she writes with it acquires reality. For example, in the last Magic Class Match, she and another student are seen fighting a golem, and in a given moment, she writes the word "Defense" in the air with her brush; the words immediately turn into a magic shield that stops one of the golem's fists in front of her.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_e5c5bc22	comment	The Words of Power from GURPS: Thaumatology are described as "the ultimate symbols of which all others are merely shadows". Despite their enormous power the Words are cheap (in game terms) to learn because they're impossible to control. "Fire" might do anything from inspire poetry to create a massive explosion or even do both at once. The rules also note that a word of power has a reasonable chance of doing the speaker a serious mischief on the way out.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_e5da0fa0	comment	In the Myst novels, the backstory of the "magical books" is fleshed out; we learn about "mighty words," which if used in the proper context (that is, with the right ink and on the right paper) can modify the linked world. And Earth was originally reached by the D'ni through such a Book. Though the linking process works more akin to a magical search engine, the book seeking out the world that best fits the description given, the words used can also change a world once the link is made, and are described in terms of this trope. In The Book of Atrus, Anna explains about 'levels' of words, the simplest being a description of a thing, the next being a modifier of such a description, i.e. a meta-word. She never says what the third level is, but it's implied to be the performative word, one which alters what it describes.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_f1bd343d	comment	The Raven Tower: Gods in the setting makes things true by speaking them aloud (they can also work in more subtle ways, even unconsciously, but speaking something aloud immediately changes reality to fit the god's word). As such, discussions on how gods use language to avoid their own proclamations backfiring or contradicting each other makes up much of the book's narration, especially given that gods have to expend their own power to speak things and as such can kill themselves with a badly-worded proclamation or gift. Most gods tend to either be painfully exact in their word choices or speak in extremely ambiguous terms, or (depending on the scenario) both. Unlike many other examples, the magic isn't tied to a specific language - they all work the same.

Words Can Break My Bones / int_f74b5f80	comment	A variation on Babylon 5: Telepaths, in addition to scanning minds and planting thoughts or visions, can also effectively hit the target's "pain button", making every nerve in their body burst with blinding pain for a few moments. This is typically accompanied by them simply glaring at the other person and hissing "Pain!" It is only allowed to be used in self defense, and it is only used when more effective means, such as guns, are unavailable. Technomages claim they can also make anyone do certain things just by speaking certain words. The trilogy of novels about them, though, implies that it's all bullshit. There's a reason the Vorlons refer to them as "fabulists". While they are powerful in their own way (especially those who have managed to unlock the most basic spells and know how to work in harmony with the tech), they tend to rely more on theatrics and misdirection, like a typical stage magician.
