curator/lawyer eldritch language reality-hacking magic [basic/simple]

[ghost]

[Title]: Curator/Librarian(superior name) magic

[Implementation]: Would have decent effects but only gained after a weighty research process and may also cause brain damage due to channeling power/knowledge/connection from otherworldly beings.

Magic would be invoked by saying the required randomly generated chant word combination sequentially. The words are randomly generated and thus cannot be bruteforced, and chanting an invalid word sequence would be unwisely courting the attention of extraplanar forces, a glance possibly even gibbing one.

Can be used by anyone, but the curator starts with the randomly generated chant starter word and the finish word in his notes/scrap of paper in bag. The finish word is essential, as without it one would have no way to purge last said words and could result in harmful combinations. The words can be said in the same sentence, or separately, but no matter the amount of words inbetween, they would still apply, optimally.

Other words are found randomly on scraps of paper in maintenance or possibly, later on, by sacrificing entities to darker powers. Essentially, it is in the same vein as the language the nar'sie cultists used to channel the dark god's power, but may have a different vocabulary and wildly varying extraplanar "listeners".

For simplicity sakes and to prevent fuckhuge development time, spells could be simple, like a chant that heals everyone on the screen by 5-10 brute/burn, one that makes simple mobs follow you, one that repulses all glass shards away, one that temporarily causes all lights in the area to dim/cause negative lighting (ala the anti light glowshrooms), one that transforms you into a crab; these are just suggestions. But the spells are supposed to be fun, cantrip style utility/joke spells

The spells would be fun to also censor themselves when heard by a unversed muggle.

[Why]: It would be fun.

[Resources]: None needed, except maybe using existant spells, if nerfed or made differently. No sprites, too, as it would be activated vocally.

@designers input? It's a design matter tbh

This could also recycle Tongue of God code possibly
