Ardour's Choir
Amaramancy
Of the almost infinite magic types, love magic is both one of the most admired and feared. Amaramancers can form incredibly powerful bonds with people and animals, their souls literally becoming tied. They are healers, using emotions to soften wounds and scars. Love mages are pillars of society, people coming to them for advice, comfort, and loving support.A language of love and song spoken by heart witches. It must be sung as a community, for each voice to latch on to one another, harmonies braiding together to form a melodic ring.
Ardour's Choir is a language and song used to bring heart witches together. Witches find each other by trailing strings of song behind them, hoping another witch will stumble across it and follow.
When ten or more witches have found one another, they eternalise their love for song, magic, and each other, by forming an Ardour's Chorus. One by one they sing, their melody intertwining with one anothers. This forms an unbreakable bond, the Chorus itself.
Ardour's Choir, as a language, is impossibly old. Nobody is quite sure of its origins, but it is believed to have stemmed from some of the first heart witches trying to find a way to form an unbreakable bond of love that would empower their circle, their Chorus.
Eventually, after enough time, this morphed into its own language, one exclusive to those who practice love magic. It has become an essential part of heart witch culture.

A wonderful article as always! I am curious though, does the language need to be sung, or does it also exist as a spoken tongue? Great work as always my friend, I do love the beginnings of heart witch culture!

Thank you! I still haven't decided whether or not this language should exclusively be sung, but I don't think so. But maybe different melodies, pitches, and other things can influence the language?
Ooh that would be really cool! There are some real world examples, Pub Med (NIH) says that mandarin is definitely one such language, and I've seen some less reliable sources talking about others. (Link here, its a fascinating study:https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7896081/)

Thank you so much for this! I'm quite proud of this concept so I'd like to flesh it out further, before Summer Camp ends. Thank you for the resource!
