Invocation

The ability to gain control over someone or something by speaking their name. Sub-power of Magic and Incantation. Variation of True Name Manipulation. Not to be confused with Evocation.
==Also Called==
*Name Magic
==Capabilities==
Users can use invocation, an ability that grants control over the targets (living or non-living) by using names or phrases to manipulate a person or the universe itself, their words provide them with control over who and what they desire to manipulate.
Invocation can be defined as a means of summoning any deity, spirit, ancestor, person, planetary/universal energy, element, or entity to communicate with, petitioning for manifestation, or offering sacrifice. Magical practitioners may also use an invocation to connect themselves with a deity as a form of worship and initiation into their mysteries.
Generally, invocation incorporates a recited passage that calls the spirit to the magician or witch. This can be a prayer, hymn, incantation, poem, or self-written invocation. Invocation can take many forms, from ecstatic dance rituals to silent meditation. Altogether, devotion creates a working relationship between the practitioner and the spirit, often marked by reciprocal benefits. The spirit is invited and welcomed into the life, home, and heart of the practitioner. 
An invocation uses the magical properties of sound, sacred and magical words, and sacred names to align and harmonize the consciousness with spiritual forces. 
Invocations are carefully composed. To attract a particular deity or spirit, the invocation must address their powers, virtues, and attributes and offer the proper praise. An invocation must be spoken and not thought silently; both breath and sound carry magical properties. All senses and faculties must be employed in an invocation.
