October 4, 201213 yr Man, that Flaming Fist support cleric\mage chanting his "Alteration school" for "Haste" spell sure was scary to hear. However, BG1's chanting sounds differed from the later projects i think it only shared them with early ICWD 1.
October 5, 201213 yr Vas Ort Flam! Kal Vas Flam! Corp Por! Corp Por! An Corp... In Vas Mani haha those were cool too, but didn't have voice, at least on the versions I played...
October 5, 201213 yr Yes, definitely. However, to give this game its own distinct flavor, maybe use a variation of Latin: Irefay Allbay! Armchay Onstermay!
October 5, 201213 yr Klaatu Verata Nikto! Seriously though, these were pretty cool. *Jots down some notes*
October 5, 201213 yr They can use Sacrifice spell incantations too Nothing is true, everything is permited.
October 5, 201213 yr Author Klaatu Verata Nikto! Seriously though, these were pretty cool. *Jots down some notes* Winnah
October 5, 201213 yr Klaatu Verata Nikto! Seriously though, these were pretty cool. *Jots down some notes* Klaatu Barada N... Necktie... Neckturn... Nickel... It's an N word, it's definitely an N word!Klaatu... Barada... N*coughs*... Okay, that's it! Edited October 5, 201213 yr by DocDoomII Do you think Pillars of Eternity doesn't have enough Portraits?

October 5, 201213 yr Author Another reason the BG/IWD ones were the best is the manner of their delivery and the right post-processing choices.

October 5, 201213 yr I'll say yes provided some thought goes into it, and that it doesnt eat the budget with voice acting.
October 5, 201213 yr I really liked the incantations in BG and IWD. They gave the spells a lot of oomph.
October 6, 201213 yr Audible incantations are really welcome. I am thinking one set of incantations for when spells are fired off successfully, and another set of incantations for when spells are miscast. I picture an interaction with an apprentice or Biff the Understudy: Incertus, pulcher... uh, impediment? Fizzle... Manus, potentis, pyro, *hand lights on fire* OWW!

October 27, 201312 yr totally agree, and to add something new, maybe would be cool to make spell casting words sound just like the character's voice, or since you can chose your character's culture, using different languages...anyway I love that latin stuff
October 27, 201312 yr @ 1st post Whoa, all this time and I finally get to see how to write those. Living under a rock wasn't a good idea, huh It would be of small avail to talk of magic in the air...
October 27, 201312 yr I'm fine with having voice acted invocations, but I would prefer that they weren't in Latin as the whole "Latin is the language of magic" thing irritates me. Also I think Latin sounds kind of silly.
October 27, 201312 yr As stated in the other thread, I really dislike this latin pronounciation, as well as the phrases used for incantations (thanks for spelling them out, Sensuki! ) I can't help but feel embarassed for the writers/speakers/characters hearing them. So for me, it's a [x]NO Yes to cool incantations, no to latin. Use the conlangs instead, for example Citizen of a country with a racist, hypocritical majority
October 27, 201312 yr I would love to see this implemented for I have fond memories of learning new spells and getting to hear the different incantations in BG I and II. It also reminds me of the chanting used by the Third Race in the Gargoyles cartoon. Yes to incantations, and yes to Latin!
