None of us know what a spell really sounds like - they probably use different words.}That's true, but in some ways that works to your advantage, since we don't know what they sound like it isn't hard to wonder if it would be possible to muddle things a bit. If they said specifically what each spell sounded like then I would agree that this wouldn't work, but since they don't...Take real work magick (not saying I believe in it or anything else) where it isn't the words that make the spell work perse, but they will behind them. You supposedly use much the same wording in some system for all spells, since the words are more of a meditative focus aspect than the actual words of the written spell. I see it more like the chanting of buddhists, the chant is used to focus the mind, this is why still spell works. The words are a crutch that most people *think* they need but those who realize what they are (and take the feat) realize that the magick works without the crutch, it's just harder. In this kind of view it would be possible to emphasize certain tones or chants during the course of the spell and maybe at least grant a circumstance modifier. Course this may not be to everyone's liking and so I offer as merely a suggestion of one possible solution. I never really liked vancian magic in the first place.</blockquote>
