I love Words of Power. I'm totally sold on it, possibly forever(at least for spontaneous casters). However, the Words that exist are, IMO, inadequate. My DM has agreed to let in new Words of Power if they are balanced and interesting, and respect the system as intended. Please suggest new Words!
P.S. No arguing over suggested Words, please. This is a constructive thread! Only post your Word suggestions, or improvements to others words in the form of a Word suggestion of your own. Thank you!

There are no words for buffing mental stats (Int, Wis, Cha) and no rays that do Stat Damage (ray of enfeeblement, for example)
I'd suggest a new Effect word group..."Soul" or "Mind" or something along those lines.
