{{quote|''Abracadabra!''}}
Another magic trope that is [[Older Than Dirt]], the idea of words that hold magic power unto themselves has been around since [[Ancient Egypt]]. Often paired and sometimes lumped with the power of [[True Name]]s, words of power are common parts of a wizard's bag of tricks.
Line 13:
A subtrope of [[Language of Magic]]. Compare to [[I Know Your True Name]] (which was split from this). Contrast and compare [[Magical Incantation]]. Compare to [[Brown Note]], which includes sounds, images and larger written works that have powerful negative effects on the audience. See also [[Ritual Magic]]. [[Harsh Word Impact]] is a metafictional version. Also compare [[Speak of the Devil]] and [[The Scottish Trope]].
