[TR] The language is not specific to mages, it is instead an ancient tongue that has been adopted by the mages as the language of choice for the recording of their spells and magick formulas. Having this language is a great bonus in learning spells and lore from the writing of the mages of ancient times; It gives a bonus of +10% to the TSC% of any Materia Magicka skill when a character makes a lore research roll. Those who have learned the Elven language at TSC 80% learn mage speech at +10% per level. If a mage has a TSC 66%+ in mage speech they gain a bonus of +5% to their TSC% when targeting spells; however, Power Word Mages gain a 10% bonus. While the language is not essential for the practice of magick it is especially important to the mages of the Power Word method, as it alone is consistently able to manifest and focus the Magickal power of the single word form instead of a litany of incantation.
