If you mend a broken shelf with Mending, you used the true name of the shelf, and that's it</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">not knowing the true name of statted things and entities but trying to affect them with spells works as per the official D&D rules</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">knowing the true name of statted things gives you an advantage on any roll you're required to cast OR a disadvantage to their save, OR maximum damage / healing / duration rolls etc, noting that learning the true name of a statted thing is the equivalent of gaining and possessing a magic item.</li> </ul>And that's it. Anything deeper than this, I'd go look for a different system more suited for Earthsea's world and magic.</blockquote>
