Meaningful Words

Transformation phrase. Incantation. Invocation. Mantra. Meaningful Words. These and more are all terms used to describe the same phenomenon: The words a person speaks to summon magical power into them, transforming their clothes, sometimes their bodies and occasionally even their minds into a state suitable for magical warriors.

The length and complexity of these phrases differ from person to person, from power to power. Often, but not always, they require a transformation item of some kind to function. Also, this should not be confused with speeches and catchphrases - also commonly announced proudly by magical warriors, but rarely directly associated with the invocation of their powers.

Some Examples

 * Adeat! - A simple Latin phrase meaning "Let it come", used by ministra magi bound by Pactio to summon forth their Artifact as well as any clothes they may have keyed to the summoning. Like any spell, a skilled practitioner may learn to invoke it silently, casting the spell in their heart. This particular invocation requires access to the ministra's pactio card, which transforms into their artifact.
 * Moon Prism Power, make up! - The signature invocation of Sailor Moon, although its form is fairly typical of Sailor Warriors.
 * Dual Aurora Wave! - The mantra used by Cure Black and Cure White, the Pretty Cure pair tasked with guarding the Field of Light.
 * Pretty Cure! Open my heart! - The meaningful words used by the Pretty Cures who guard the Heart Tree, and by extension, the hearts' flowers of all people.
 * Change! Pretty Cure, beat up! - The transformation phrase used by the Pretty Cures summoned to guard the Kingdom of Sweets and, by extension, all worlds against the menace of King Moebius and his minions from the world of Labyrinth.
 * Spread widely, to the end of the sky! - The meaningful words used by Kanatan, a magical girl who recently appeared in Tokyo.
 * Winds to the sky, stars to the heavens, and an unyielding soul to this heart! Magic to these hands! Raising Heart: Set Up! - The mantra keyed to activate the Intelligent Device known as "Raising Heart."
