    This makes me want to implement a programming language as an alternate tabletop magic system. Maybe give my players runes to experiment with and let them figure out it's a programming language.

        "... [it] isn't actually necessary... the whole spell falls apart without it for some reason."

        That's peak cargo cult programming spellcasting right there.

          Someone was posting a week or two ago having done something kinda like that. Something to do with magic circles or similar, looked rad.

              “Hi spellGPT make me a teleportation spell to DragonLanding. Provide accurate incantation and ensure that the destination is safe and free from any magical barriers or hostile creatures before I arrive.”

                Already have a Minecraft mod like that based off an anime with that premise. You program magic spells into a gun.

                    Not precarious enough. Vibe casting would be like summoning an imp for a few minutes with instructions to work on the big spell, summon another imp and tell it to do the same.

                      I had some commented out test methods. I deleted them. The program failed to compile. I put the test methods back, still commented out. Worked fine.

                      I don't question the machine spirits.

                        SpellGPT is an archdemon, and it's pronounced as written, not as an acronym.

                        Presumably it offers money, sex and power as bait instead of on-demand fanfics and light conversation, because fiction isn't that dumb.

                          What would be the equivalent of this in magic?

                            A potential ley line blockage that's cleared by a ritual performed every winter solstice by a hobbyist spellcaster who lives on a farm in the middle of nowhere?

                              I think Ra has a magic casting system that is a programming language.
