A-015 The Forbidden Tongue

== CACG Item File ==
Item A-015 is the designation given to an anomalous language of an indefinite age and exact origin. A-015 was first discovered following a report from the Camelotian government following an archaeology expedition led by world-famous historian Desmond Banks, in which he documented and reported various instances of anomalous phenomena upon his return. Shortly after Desmond was brought into employment by the Group, the first instance of A-015 was located, replicated and contained with the aid of the Unified Frontier government.
Upon further examination, it's clear that A-015 instances date back to the first days that life emerged on the Grail. Mr. Banks has suggested that it may have been the work of a previously unknown ancient civilization, not known to the world now or even back then. While other historians within the Group have pushed back on this theory, it seems that the contents of A-015 Scribe Walls corroborate it. To date, the Operations Division has tracked down and recovered the contents of at least 3 other A-015 Scribe Walls, with the current team of anomalous linguistic experts decoding at least ██.█% of their contents.
A-015's anomalous effects become apparent when it is verbally spoken. While the true extent of its properties remain unknown, key words and phrases of A-015 have been proven to induce disastrous phenomena such as tsunamis, earthquakes, and even tornados. But not all of the effects of A-015's words is harmful, with some phrases being capable of encouraging rapid plant growth (such as with the Verdant Caverns Wall), healing grave wounds, and more.
It seems that A-015 does have a barrier to use, however. It takes rigorous training to use A-015 in any capacity, with some of the easiest words taking weeks of study just to start using them. Upon mastering the ability to "initiate" the word, it'll take several more weeks to build up the user's endurance to a point they can use it without immediately feeling faint. However, it should be noted that A-015 can still be read by observers without any anomalous effects. Writing of A-015 is rendered impossible to the average observer though, since it seems that writing words in A-015 requires absolute mastery over that single word. Tying in with Mr. Banks' theory, it can be assumed that only nobility were taught this language, seeing as it is "fitting" for a ruling class. As well as this, it's been discovered that there may be a genetic trait tied into use of A-015.
Due to the indeterminate amount of Scribe Walls containing A-015, as well as the limited resources to contain all of them, containment has been approved to be deferred to anomalous handling groups of the countries new Scribe Walls are spotted in, following the collection of any artifacts and 3D scanning of the wall itself. Currently, at least 13 personnel have been assigned to work on translation and study of A-015, with Roundtable Council members Void and Wizard's oversight.
