. . . For those who don’t know, saying/shouting the names of spells is a safety thing. A courtesy to bystanders that someone has angered the wizard and a warning to the target to prepare countermagic NOW. They aren’t necessary to use the magic, but they’re definitely a lotta fun. The drama, the delivery, it’s part of the thrill of casting dangerous spells, and many wizards take great pride in the force of presence created by their announcements. Most don’t say anything for the small stuff like Light Candle or Levitate Book, but saying in a dramatic tone “Magister Moriarty’s Magnificent Movement of Tomes” under the breath just loud enough to make bystanders wonder if it’s necessary or not is great fun.
