Just curious...but...why do words of power have somatic and material components?Interesting.. the same question was posed internally. We were wondering if anyone would comment. I guess we have our answer.

I know the answer, its to remain somewhat balanced to the exisitng system.
But fluff wise it doesn't make sense.Sorry Jason :(
I'm really not trying to open a can of worms here.
You use magic inks and pigments (material) to write the words in the air (somatic) as you speak them (verbal). The hovering words are then energised and manifest the spell. :)
You can steal that and put it in the fluff for words of power if you like. :P

Try to explain why you need to clearly see a spellcaster casting a spell to use your spellcraft skill, even if it has only verbal components...
