Melf's Words of Power

Melf's Words of Power describes in detail the various collections of phones, phonemes, and morphemes that resonate with magic and help to shape it to the speaker's will. It has drawn criticism for the phonotactical complexities in arrives at. Many scholars and mages have found seemingly obvious means to shorten the proferred phrases to something more managable without sacrificing efficacy. He is also criticised for plugging his own spellcraft, particularly his Minute Meteors, when it had little to do with the subject of his text.

Examples
spell - Melf's incantation > shortened variants

magic missile - "greba nire etsaia zehaztasun" > "grebasun"

shield - "xurgatzeko indarrean" > "xurgrean" or "gatzekindar"

comprehend languages - "hizkunta guztiak nireak dira" > "hazguz"

counterspell - "rebukeh" (in an uncharacteristic laconic act, Melf cited Rary's Redactions to Kazimar's Tome of Protection to include this word here)
