tabletop talky
so i've decided i don't like words of power for long-term but it's been really useful for brainstorming an initial set of spells
especially since the furthest i'm going for first playtest is 2 words of power, so you have keywords like "imbue fire" to enchant a weapon with fire damage

whereas if you just have fire, it lets you use your primary casting stat to make a melee fire attack against fortitude or influence, whichever is highest for your enemy.
