Eh, most of the anime I've seen with 'Magic' tends to have chants, but there's indeed tons of the stuff out there.DungeonMaester said:Some anime has chants for casting spells, other just shout the name. In my games, all magic is granted by Gods, whether it Arcane or Devine, they have to pray to their God as a verbal component.
By 'other traditions' I was talking more along the lines of other media/entertainment sources, not realistic fighting. I'll remphasise the bit about the shouting of the attack name being more for the audiences benefit. It's a dramatic effect to help the audience remember the attack as being something special and not meant to be seen as a realistic take on fighting. It's like complaining about how unrealistic wuxia movies are.No. At least not at any fencing event or Martial art class do. In fact, even every martial art I have took up to this point taught that Ki is adding force by using breathing. (Breathing in when throwing the attack, and breathing out when connecting) Shouting names becomes out of the question
