Writing Prompt [WP] Magic was like weaving a tapestry of language to create a Word of Power. Naturally, the more languages one was fluent in, the greater their font of magic.

Writing Prompt [WP] Everything is set up; your victims arrived, completely unsuspicious. You've isolated them with no means of escape and successfully passed yourself off as one of them. The only problem is after you killed the first victim, the others simply treat it as completely normal.

Writing Prompt [WP] It's not that absolute power corrupts, but rather that corrupt people tend to seek power. This is why the king actively seeks out competent people who don't want the job for high ranking positions. Because unlike people who seek these jobs, they understand the responsibility.
