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 />
