I had trouble going to sleep last night, so I tried a creative exercise on Twitter to get my mind of the dumb things one thinks about when they can’t sleep.
As readers of my blog may know, I get on alliteration kicks, and don’t just do a few, I take up a challenge and do A to Z.
Looking at my Twitter time stamps, I did this in 20 minutes, due to slow typing on my phone. Challenge yourself to make a list in 26 minutes or less.
The cool thing about these types of spell names, they suggest more than one meaning, so you can have the came spell name for two different spells. One the true spell, and the other a mis-attributed spell, or perhaps the creator made two spells with the same name.
Thus, there are two mental exercises for the creation and description of such a list.
Alliterative spell names a la “Dying Earth” by Jack Vance.
- Aurbon’s aggressive agony.
- Balquar’s bubbling bruise.
- Celeara’s cunning catastrophe.
- Dolomar’s delightful destruction.
- Edmund’s egregious ennervation.
- Forlana’s felicitous falacy.
- Grintok’s gruelling grounding.
- Hakovar’s horrendous hallucination.
- Inigo’s indigo interval.
- Joanna’s jovial juxtaposition.
- Kling’s kitten kerfuffle.
- Lorelai’s larcenous lamentation.
- Morwen’s marvellous mastication.
- Norbert’s noteworthy nod.
- Orwilla’s ordinal outcry.
- Prilmak’s putrecent pugilism.
- Quilvia’s questing query.
- Rilma’s rising refuge.
- Selene’s silent sobriquet.
- Talon’s taking torment.
- Ulvar’s undulating utterance.
- Virgil’s vitreous veracity.
- Wilmore’s wriggling wilderness.
- Xenon’s xenophobic xenomorph.
- Yalla’s yielding yell.
- Zandar’s zippered zephyr.
Are there other alliterative lists you’d like to see me make? I can’t make any promises about Q, X, and Z. Hard C and K make it interesting too.
