1:27 There's plenty of magic systems available where words are absolutely unnecessary... Allomancy in the Mistborn series has no words involved and magic is accessed by burning metals with specific man magical effects. Read it. A metal might attract or repell other metals. It might give enhanced senses or enhanced strength etc... 11:09 My favorite magic systems all works without using words, and I dislike the very concept of using them in a magic system... You haven't given a single reason why they *should* be used. Just examples of systems where they are and the implications in those systems...

You're absolutely right! But magic systems that utilize words for spellcasting are definitely the majority and this video is only focusing on them. Even with that specific focus, every system is unique so I just focused on a generalization of categorizing them and how they work in each of those categories. I am not saying by any means that magic systems have to use magic words, but trying to ask the question why do their magic need to have words in the first place. I do think some of the best magic systems don't use words, for example kinetic systems like bending with Avatar the Last Airbender. These systems usually are more unique and thought out as they can't rely on the tropes before them which many readers/viewers already are familiar with and understand. But ultimately the time of magic system used is due to the preference of the work's creator

You casted a Subscribus spell and a Likus charm on me. You got me!

I like the Jobless Reincarnation's magic system because you can either speak a set incantation or just "feel" the mana flowing through you, pretty cool
