Logomancy

The art of Logomancy uses a combination of charisma, force of will, logic, and mastery of rhetoric to bind the universe to one’s will. It is the magic of language and of contracts, of logical proofs and the unbreakable belief in one’s conclusions. Logomancers need no physical trappings or mystical symbols to perform their magic — they just need their words, cleverness, and the force of will to bring what they believe should be into reality.

Logomancy takes many forms, and each nation that has a large number of practitioners of it has its own perspective on how to use this brand of magic. In general, though, the art involves using words to enforce the practitioner’s will upon the world, such as forging a binding pact with a Spirit, striking a bargain with supernatural effects, enforcing Imperial law via magic, or the exacting use of logic to prove something and make the world around you believe it.
