Halenic

Halenic is the name given to the original language that the inhabitants of the world used for the casting of spells and magic. It had another name but after the Mage War which saw the rise of Halen and surge in power of magic in general, it became the defacto name for the language of magic users across the world. As a language made for the casting of spells, its word structure may seem odd, but it was never meant to be used in common conversation, especially after the creation of the Great Barrier.

Common Phrases
As an arcane language, it's structure may seem to be haphazard and unique to outsiders/non-users, but there are a structure and commonality amongst various spells. For example, a spell that has anything to do with the sun would have the word Thùk in it somewhere.   Saying one or two words on their own will not induce a magical effect, as it's a combination of the words, structure and will/intent that taps into the arcane power that flows through the world.
