Power words are the words a mage speaks when casting a spell. There are currently 19 distinct words that can be spoken in various phrases when casting a spell.
Speculation alert
This is pretty much all speculation and guesswork here on out, an attempt to translate the words to English and to match the spells they're associated with, based on what seems logical and what seems familiar from the UO power words system.
Of note are the words Nex, Sul, Lu, Gon, Hom, Gar, Hal and Sho, as there are only one instance of each of these words in the spell list, making it harder to cross compare and come up with a definition. These words are marked with an asterisk* in the below table. (note: this assumes the instance of the word "Fier" in fireball is simply a misspelling of "Feir" and not a unique power word)
Power Word List
| Word | Meaning |
|---|---|
| On | remove or negate |
| Ex | health |
| Kor | greater |
| Feir | fire |
| Ro | create or restore |
| Ven | poison |
| Vul | energy (this could also work as a reference to people, or matter in general) |
| Ruh | "conjure"? (vague, but so is the usage) could also be "nature" or something that works for both lightning and rock |
| Bol | "death" is the only thing that sort of fits all cases ("matter" or "being" would work better for the evocation spells) |
| Nex* | something really bad |
| Sul* | summon? |
| Lu* | defense |
| Pal | "extra removal of" (prefix) or "extra addition of" (suffix), or maybe simply "modify"... basically, buffs |
| Gon* | gone... |
| Hom* | home. |
| Gar* | (unknown) |
| Das | movement |
| Hal* | (unknown, maybe human) |
| Sho* | shadows |
* Words with a single appearance.

| Lightning | Vul Ruh Bol | conjure energy death |
| Wall of Fire | Ro Feir Bol | create fire death |
