Collected Words Of Activation
Over the years, I have amassed a considerable list of words of acti¬vation for unknown magical items —that is, the items the words pertain to have become separated from the writings and cannot now be positively identified save by experiment. Proper use of such magics as dweomer divination discern most words of activa¬tion if one possesses an item and not the word, but much time and trouble may be saved by testing the item with words from the following list.
It should be noted that in the time after the fall of Myth Dran- nor, it became fashionable for several centuries to hide the actual trigger word inside a more easily memorized phrase. This prac¬tice fell out of favor because too many words of activation thus were everyday words23 and so too many items were unintention¬ally triggered—often with fatal or disastrously destructive results. So, old items may well have simple trigger words.
Do not, for instance, utter the word “indubitably” when in the Hall of Floating Helms in the Palace in Suzail — unless, that is, ye enjoy being caught in the midst of swarming lightning bolt spells.Later, words described as “elegant nonsense” by one now- forgotten sage became widespread. They were used for their unusual but memorably distinctive sound, and there are even per¬sistent rumors (aided by little chapbooks sold by certain wizards at every Mage Fair) that certain of these words are overwords that activate many items beyond the one they were originally linked to, though they do so sometimes imperfectly, accessing only one power of several or awakening only low-power effects. Some of the words gathered here were believed by those who recorded them—on the underside of a floor cobble in a deep dungeon in Castle Waterdeep, for example —to be overwords. So those acquiring items of unknown governance are urged to consult this handy pool of words, uttering a prayer of thanks to Mystra that praises one Volothamp Geddarm while doing so. If her favor finds you, you will not be disappointed.
Aye, and if the sky rains platinum pieces into thy lap ye probably won't be all that sad, either.
