Which Power First?

The Spoken Word

The Spoken Word is one of the most deceptively powerful forms in the arsenal of My Law. It requires no tools, no rituals, no markings—only your voice. With a single statement, you can alter reality itself. Say, “The sun will rise at midnight,” and it will. Declare, “I am untouchable,” and no harm will come to you. The world listens to your words and reshapes itself around your intent. There is no delay, no visible energy, no sign of magic—just truth being rewritten by the power of speech.

However, the simplicity of the Spoken Word is what makes it so dangerous. Once something is spoken, it becomes real immediately, and it cannot be unsaid. There is no undo command, no rewind. If you speak carelessly—out of emotion, sarcasm, or anger—you risk triggering consequences you didn’t fully think through. For example, jokingly saying, “Everyone drop dead,” could literally empty a city in seconds. Even accidental statements can become binding. That’s why users of this power must treat every sentence like a loaded weapon.

The Spoken Word also operates on interpretation, and reality may not always interpret your words the way you intended. If you say, “Make me the strongest,” does that mean physically? Magically? Emotionally? The ambiguity opens the door for chaotic or ironic outcomes. To use this power effectively, you must be extremely specific in your phrasing—like a lawyer crafting a binding contract with the universe. Clarity and precision are your safeguards.

Another aspect to consider is vocal strength and presence. Whispers won’t work. The command must be heard and understood. If you are gagged, silenced, or ****, the power is useless. And if others begin to realize your words carry divine weight, they may try to manipulate, muzzle, or provoke you. Some may even try to bait you into saying something destructive. In this way, your greatest weapon also becomes your greatest vulnerability.

Ultimately, the Spoken Word is power at its rawest—command over reality using nothing but your voice. It’s a gift for those who are confident, articulate, and in full control of themselves. But the price of such power is constant vigilance. One slip of the tongue, one emotionally charged outburst, and everything you’ve built can crumble in an instant. In this form, your mouth is not just a voice… it is the voice of a god.
