That magic is way more customisable and adaptable than any other kind I think. Letting you for example use words like stop (letta) and a lift (reisa) which are verbs. Any kind of "other" magic is more limited. You can even have Necromancers using this magic, so basically if you want voodoo rite sort of things. You can make your Navren say a couple of words which he either does or doesnt know the meaning of. Maybe making the spirits come and kind of posess the heads, or making the heads straight up sing more words of the Ancient Language which then causes something to happen.Honestly, with the Ancient Language you can do everything that you can do with other magic.You just gotta figure out how you'd go about making it work

Oh, that's not what I meant. I realize that you can use that system to do a whole ton of stuff, it just seems to me that it would make most of the magic be kinda same-y, whereas part of the fun of looking at real world magic traditions is that they vary so hugely. Besides, the voodoo stuff I had in mind was really more akin to poppet magic- doing stuff with dolls, like-affects-like and that kind of stuff. Likely not much in the way of words at all, really.

I get that the truename magic stuff is more versatile, but often I find working with limited power to be fun since it forces more creative solutions to things.
