An omnipotent and omniscient being probably doesn't give a shit about which language you use...or, being omnipotent, you actually can't address it in any other way than it wants you to.
Hot take. I like it. Very Lovecraftian. Impudent to even imply.

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.

It's supported by a latticework of it's fucking magic. They're going to go get a goblet that makes you immortal, you expect 100% realism?

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.
