Practitioners of magic well know the power of names, not used or given names, but True Names. Wizards who follow the tradition of Onomancy use their magic to manipulate the words that encompass existence. Onomancers expand their study into language itself, searching for threads of magical significance that weave through names. Something that is named stands out in the multiverse, distinct from the tapestry of creation all around it.<br> | Practitioners of magic well know the power of names, not used or given names, but True Names.

That distinction creates power that onomancers seek to tap. By speaking a target’s true name, the wizard’s spells slip between the cracks of the target’s defenses, conforming to its essential nature through the power of its name. To protect themselves, wizards who follow this tradition often hide their True Names, typically by adopting monikers and pseudonyms. | That distinction creates power that onomancers seek to tap.
