Words have great power. Different word combinations do different things. Intent is also complex, like a color, it has millions of different shades. One word combination can be used many times over but with a different intent each time, leading to a different result each time.

Getting a specific effect from a combination of words + intent is complex, think of magic like alchemy. The words are one ingredient, probably the easier one to work with. The intent is another ingredient. Mixing them haphazardly like an apprentice would is dangerous. People should practice long and hard before they attempt anything as dangerous as magic. I don't even believe in magic really, only unexplained phenomena, but having experienced "magic" before I know there is something there. Maybe not potions, dragons, witches, and demons, but certainly more than science is currently willing to accept.
