Spell development (Lorica)

Derivation of a spell
There are certain formulaic steps needed for producing a spell, at least with regards to low magic.

1. Plan a script
Each spell has a script - a formulaic outline of what the spell does and exactly how it does that. Spell components such as which variables to use and which operants to use (see Magia composita (Lorica)) come in at this point. Proofreading the script to make sure everything will go exactly the way you want it is highly necessary.

4. Activation
The activation of the spell occurs when the spell initiator is added to the mix. For much low magic, the spell initiator is yet another spell component, but specifically the very first one or a key step. For high magic, the spell initiator may be a word that activates another spell specifically meant for transmitting a verbal command.
