Just feels kinda Roman privilege to assume the almighty wants to hear Latin.

My mind somehow meshes the ideas from butcher's dresden books, where your belief in an icon as a symbol of the faith matters more than its actual connection to the religion, and lackey's high magic (compared to the wild magic) where the collective energy of the populace can be collected and stored to be used. So I end up with this idea where the catholic church has collected a vast amount of energy to be used, and the utterance of latin is the individual's (in this case constantine's) personal symbolic link to the catholic church to harness that energy.

The rules are so cherry picked it literally doesn’t matter what you believe in the bigger context. Religion wants mindless servitude and will say whatever you need to hear to gaslight yourself into believing it’s real.

if I've learned anything from fantasy based isekai mangas, the words are meaningless. it's the intent of the caster that does it.

wrote on last edited by [email protected]I think the Catholic Church does Latin because that was the language the first pope (Saul/Paul) was given his revelation in.
Omniscient being(s) would, of course, understand any language.
The weave/astral is manipulated by intelligence/will and the somatic component if any is just to provide caster focus.
