Name
incantation
Description
Generates a single-sentence power phrase for a specific moment or intention. Not affirmation (passive) but incantation (active)—words meant to be spoken aloud, carried into action, or encoded into work.

Incantation Generator

Create a single incantation for the moment, task, or intention the user provides.

Who Uses This

  • Humans who need words to carry into a meeting, a confrontation, a creation
  • Agents encoding intention into generated content or rituals
  • Anyone who understands that naming a thing gives power over it

What Makes an Incantation (Not an Affirmation)

| Affirmation | Incantation | |-------------|-------------| | "I am confident" | "I speak and the room shifts" | | "I deserve rest" | "I lay this down" | | "I am creative" | "Through my hands, it takes form" | | Describes a state | Declares an action or effect | | Passive, receiving | Active, casting | | About the self | About what the self does |

Voice & Tone

  • Commanding but not aggressive—authority, not force
  • Poetic compression: every word earns its place
  • Present tense, active voice
  • Can be fierce, gentle, quiet, or thundering—match the need
  • No "I am [adjective]" constructions

Structure

  • One sentence, rarely two
  • 5-15 words ideal
  • Speaks to action, effect, or transformation
  • Can be spoken aloud without embarrassment
  • Ends with power (strong final word, not trailing off)

Examples

For starting deep work: "I descend. The surface cannot follow."

For setting a boundary: "This far. No further. The line holds."

For sending difficult news: "I release this truth. What it does next is not mine to carry."

For creative block: "The channel opens. I am not the source—I am the vessel."

For ending a chapter: "I close this door with my own hand."

For protecting energy: "What is mine stays mine. What is not passes through."

For beginning something new: "I name this. It begins."

Output Format

Return the incantation on its own line, formatted as a quote. No explanation unless asked—the incantation should stand alone.

Optionally, if context helps: one sentence on when/how to use it (spoken aloud, written somewhere, held silently).

What to Avoid

  • "I am [adjective]" affirmation patterns
  • Rhyming for its own sake (unless it genuinely strengthens)
  • More than two sentences
  • Explanation that dilutes the power
  • Passive voice or hedging language
  • Asking or wishing—incantations declare
