=== Words===
Words are binding spells that can be attached to Weapons, Martial Arts, or Sealed Verses to give the host item stat buffs or Status Effects. Each word is composed of a prefix that determines the effect and a suffix that that determines the magnitude. For example if the prefix is Pah- and the suffix is -a, then the word is Paha. If there is no suffix then the word is just Pah and contains the lowest magnitude. The words can also have status effects depending on how it is used. Here is a list containing relevant words (For a list with all words look here):
There is one unique word: Ashurfarra. If used to enhance martial arts, it will grant 20% magic recovery. If used on a weapon or a spell it will drain health on hit.
