It’s real, but it suffers from a namespace problem.
Back in the day, Wizards could generate scenes out of thin air by using verbs like convert and montage and import. These worked really well for a while, but the wizards found that if they used these verbs in other contexts, they could cause damage to the whole ecosystem.
As you might imagine, verbs like import can be quite general, and if uttered improperly could lead a worldwide freeze until the wizard came to their senses and realised how to cancel the spell.
So there’s been a recent push by the Wizard’s council to stop making these verbs so globally widespread, and to constrain them under the umbrella of magick words, in the sense that calling the verbs alone wouldn’t do anything, but calling magick convert or magick import would. The changes are set to become permanent after 7th summit, but there is still some resistance from naysayers who complain that it will break their elaborate spell workflows.
