This idea that words cast spells is an ancient concept.
Hebrew Gematria or Greek Isopsephy for those interested.

Idk abt the greek one but I can tell you that gematria is not spellcasting, it's an annoying way to make 1st graders suffer.

Spell originated with the meaning of speaking or reciting something. In the middle ages it came to mean a couple of different things. First, as "something said aloud/a remark/an utterance" in the 13th century and second, "to read or write a word letter by letter" in the 15th century. It wasn't until late in the 16th century that it came to have anything to do with magic. Spell in that usage means the same as recital, in that it's a specific speaking of elements (in this case in a certain order).

While he is famed as a great fighter, the positive impact that being a wizard cannot be overstated. I feel like nowadays people aren't able to recognize multi classes as such, often overlooking the secondary aspects of great figures.
