SPEAKER <strong>OF</strong> THE WORD<br />

"Ji is simple to speak the Word. Knowing how and when to<br />

use the Word—and how to ease your conscience after you<br />

unleash its power-is more complex."<br />

Prerequisite: Invoker<br />

You are an initiate in a rare tradition, one that<br />

embraces a unified religious concept summed up in<br />

one word of power. The Word was crafted by the gods<br />

to be a great weapon. Only the most trustworthy<br />

and<br />

compassionate invokers are taught the syllables of the<br />

Word, and even they seldom use its power. Each syllable,<br />

when spoken in the proper pitch and cadence,<br />

is a powerful prayer in its own right, and those brief<br />

tones are the most powerful weapons of your faith.<br />

It is not enough simply to repeat the syllables that<br />

comprise the Word: to unleash its power you must<br />

desire to do so. speaking it exactly and framing the<br />

philosophical significance of each syllabic in your<br />

mind as you say it. Uttering the Word unleashes dangerous<br />

divine energy, and even speakers ol the Word<br />

dare not utter it in a voice louder than a whisper.<br />
