Jennifer English when Jennifer Latin walks in:
LOL
Larian : "So, your character is a Cleric. That means, on top of being good at melee fighting, she's first and foremost a spellcaster. So she will be casting spells a *lot*, but don't sweat it; you don't have to give it your all, y'know ?"
Jennifer English : *Cracks knuckles*
You: "Ok so hum ... why are you here?"
Me: "Ignis!"
Hahaha same
BIG MISS
Can we just appreciate that not only did Shadowheart's voice actress record all these spells and variations, but that every other origin character and hireling did too in case you switched their class to use any spell? (This doesn't even include enemy VAs)
That is pure dedication
And she easily does it best. Close tie with Gale, I guess
It's honestly one of my favorite parts of design in this game. Even if this game was sub-part, which it certainly isn't, I still would put it in my top 10 JUST because of that. It shows how immersive & dedicated Larion is with themselves as a company & more.
yeah that is hours of voice acting just for the sounds spells make
@@greyngreyer5 I mean, hearing Wyll scream 'Arde' is pretty damn good. Playing without headphones, when I first started the game I would only hear 'Arde' when he cast _hellish rebuke._ I thought he was screaming 'How dare you!'. It hyped me up big time lol.
@@Safiyahalishah I'd like Wyll if his VA wasn't such a... idk. Creep? But yes, he's good at his job.
6:47 I never get tired of her casting silence with the loudest shout imaginable.
Librarians when shushing someone
You would love silencer's ultimate voice line from Dota 2.
I like to imagine it is like my aunt yelling at my 6year old self
Call silence!
But not for me!
Lol, and if you think that's loud, cast half of these spells with Wyll.
That man screams like he wants Raphael to hear him.
I love that she's really feeling this...even better after confirming that this was one of her favorite things to record.
I can see Jenn all intense saying these lines, the ultra strong R pronunciation gives me life haha
This is such a good resource for any DnD players that want to add more flare for their spells' verbal component!
Exactly what I came here for lol
Dum Vita est, spes est! My steed will be delighted to hear that

@@elinlaverde Not enough likes on this one haha
And somehow Gale almost never misses with fire bolt
@@Aarontheman-5567 int 10 vs int 17 moment
@@pashapowers781 for me it was 19 intelligence for Gale and 10 intelligence for Shadowheart
her pronunciation is so addicting i love the way she rolls her ‘r’ in the words
I really love how she shouts incende. A lot of power behind that.
Same. I think SH's VA did the voice lines the best. The others are good too, but usually they are more calm. She goes all in 🤣
@@Mr.Otter1 yeah, I understand why you chose her for this video, casting with Shadowheart feels the most satisfying, especially when the spell hits.
Yeah but that’s for sacred flame, the spell that never hits😂
@@Thatwalrus27 ain't that the truth. The circlet of intelligence helps a lot tho. I don't know if that spell is cast with intelligence or wisdom, but that could also be a factor for it failing so much.
Honestly the way Wyll says arde after using hellish rebuke is pretty satisfying
I'm so glad they did NOT use the ecclesiastic pronunciation and kept it closer to classic latin
Did I miss something? None of the Vs sounded like Ws.
@@digitaljanus seems like a mix of the two, you can hear Cs pronounced as K
they did a colossal job in this game, and the idea of following the tradition of BG1 and 2 of using Latin for spells is the icing on the cake. I can only imagine the agony of voice actors having to read and shout phrases in Latin when their native language is English. and I tell you that it is not easy or immediate even for us Italians, and pronunciation errors are easily forgivable. I'm happy to read in the comments how much the sound of Latin is appreciated and I tell you that if pronounced correctly it's even better❤
Honestly, yes some of them would really sound a lot better if pronounced corectly. That being said, I swear I prefer the butchered version for a few :)))
It is SUCH a relief to hear someone pronouncing the C's with a K sound instead of CH.
The pronunciation is not that bad, but being selective with a specific letter being pronounced according to the Classical Pronunciation while completely ignoring all of the other ones is weird. The "V"s, for example, were pronounced according to the Ecclesiastical Pronunciation (a voiced labiodental fricative) instead of the correct pronunciation according to the Classical Pronunciation (which would be a voiced labial-velar approximant). Considering the context of the game, they were probably aiming for the Classical Pronunciation, there are a lot of corrections to be made -- but in reality, it's totally fine and understandable that the voice actors didn't get an immaculate pronunciation of Latin, but it is weird to see people saying how they are glad the VAs pronounced "c"s as a voiceless velar plosive rather than a voiceless palato-alveolar affricate.
@@Ed.07 Sorry about that. I hope they get better soon.
@@TwoStrokeZ What?
yeah but most of those are pronunced wrong, why also it's a relief for you that are spelled like this?
Meanwhile, that pronunciation of pulcher at 20:22
I gotta praise the spell casting in this game.
The spells look cool and even simple spells feel badass to cast.
"the worst she can say is no"
12:00 - 15:07 :
More like 19:12 lmao
@@noahjones9833 idk, her calling me stupid would probably hurt less than an evocation spell
you can tell just how much she enjoyed doing this by the energy in her voice. Good job Jen❤
Thinking about all those actors recording all these lines, the animations that accompany each spell (both the character movements and the look of the spell itself) AND the super cool sound effects that each spell makes….all this shows such an incredible attention to detail, that really pays off. It creates so many moments during combat that feel so epic and satisfying.
All the actors did such a great job in their performances, these lines are just one of the many ways in which their talent shines! Shadowheart and Wyll’s actors are particularly memorable for me with their readings of these spells!!
As someone from Latinoamerica with spanish as their first language, this is all a bit funny to me. For example the spell Lesser Restoration in latin is "Te Absolvo" and in spanish that would be "te absolvo" exactly the same. Also works with a bunch of other spells, "te curo" is also the exact same words and spelling as in spanish. Imagine getting caught off guard on your first playthrough when i was like ARE THEY SPEAKING SPANISH? later to realize it was latin. But hearing Astarion telling me he absolves me every morning curing my bloodlessness, i enjoy.
Actually in Spanish it's "Te absuelvo"
It’s as though Spanish is a Latin language or something.
both ways is correct. @@miossid
@@theknd that's not true, according to the Royal Spanish Academy. It's an irregular verb
@@miossid you think ppl use the royal spanish academy when speaking? 😭girlll
12:00 Gave me some serious South Park vibes
this comment made me laugh
After casting Misty Step a 1000 times, I had to find out what they were saying lol thanks for the video!
10:59 A little note of caution here. “Est” (he/she/it is) is the third-person conjugation of “esse,” (to be). You’re looking for the second person conjugation, which is “es.”
13:27 Also, “tormentum” can mean “missile” as in something that’s thrown.
A TON of translations here are wrong, and a LOT of game voice lines are equally non-sensical.
@@andrewollmann304ah, that's why most hurled spells i noticed were made with the Tormentum incantation
@@Ed.07
would you be willing to share which ones are wrong and fix their translations? i love these kinds of videos, but i care more about the authenticity of the language
@@thespreer2142 Almost every one of them are wrong in a way.
Im suprises how jennifer english didnt got 393639273373826 awards for these amazing voice acting. She is the mvp
Jennifer killed it
13:43 my heart melted a bit
That is one hell of a rolling R
13:02 I always thought this sounded like 'HOW DARE YOU' when Wyll pointed at goblins during the battle
"Cave circulum" / "Avoid the circle" was probably meant for the spell "Magic circle" which didn't make it ingame.
From the wiki:
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 1 hour
You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface.
Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways:
The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw.
The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder.
Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature.
When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd.
Spell Lists. Cleric, Paladin, Warlock, Wizard
This could also fit the Glyph of Warding no?
@@skubi3735could be, but spells usually use its function as chant, and we don't want people avoiding our Glyphs 😂
Some unused longer spell chantings are from BG1 and BG2! I wish they kept them, they sound badass.
as Italian when I played the game for the first time i was surprised that the dialougues were in English but the spells are in italian... a couple of hours later i realized it was Latin, it was a nice touch. 🇮🇹
French and Catalan are weird, but languages like Italian, Spanish and Portuguese all sound like Latin.
I’ve been looking for this exact type of video of all the latin chants, thank you!! I hope you do all the other companions
Been thinking about it, but it remains to be seen honestly. The structure of the video is done, so I would only have to get the voice lines but it takes a pretty long time to sort the ability voice lines out from the regular ones. This whole video took me around a month so currently just taking a break :))
@@Mr.Otter1 gotcha. i was looking around on reddit on how to extract sound files from this game and it seemed hard, especially because the files aren’t named and put in order so I completely understand!!
@@hawwquinn Oh, the process itself is not hard at all, but yeah it's a lot to sort through. The extractor unzips over 100k voice files and they are named something like v3ef456....etc and you have to find your character then listen to them.
@@Mr.Otter1 well if you ever do end up doing other characters, I’ll be looking forward to seeing it!!
Interesting how in the Unused section they have a bunch of chants from the first two games, like the Vita Mortis Careo that gets burned into your brain by playing those games.
Also it seems that some in the unused section actually fit existing spells (e.g. shatter and circle of death specifically)
Oh, nice! I didn't know those were from the first two games. Yeah, I'm guessing they had them planned for existing spells and just ended up using something else. Also for some spells, not a lot but a few, there are A LOT of different takes. Like in game you hear 3 variations but in the files you have 10 or 11 for some all with different accents and intonations. So I guess they are just leftovers. I do have like 3 or 4 more chants from the unused section that I did not include cause they were extremely short with 1 word and kinda hard to translate.
13:48 for the spirit guardian enjoyers
such a good spell
I thought is was for hunger of hadar
Put the Click Heels active and a free jump passive and run around dealing AoE to all enemies in the field, so fucking dumb and fun.
8:10 quod dico face sounds like what my Tav says when he casts telekinesis
I love this video. The Latin incantations are a big part of what makes spellcasting fun. Halsin is mute even when casting spells in my game 😢
13:49 gotta love when you hear this and everything around you melts
Thank you so much for this - I've been trying to find the chants for spells for my fics for a while and this made it a thousand times easier
Some accents are on the wrong syllables, and it's a curious mix of classic and church Latin, but... It's amazing the length they went for this, where any other game could have gone with gibberish.
Some of those are also parts of actual Latin proverbs, ex. "Risus abundat..." (Laughter abunds...) should end with "...in ore stultorum." (...in the mouth of fools.)
omg I've been looking for something like this for a while.. I absolutely love the incantations. Latin is such a beautiful language T.T
I don't know if this has been commented before, but the unused voice lines consisting of three words (like Manus, Potentis, Paroare) are used like in BG1&2 and Icewind Dale, they only said three words, depending on the school of magic.
Amazing work! I want to use it in my DND games for better immersion! Thank you!
Glad to be of service 🦦
Shadowheart’s Italian accent is SENDING me
Pun intended
13:17 Critical miss
That’s cool! Some words I kinda knew since some latin words sound the same in Spanish except latin has that flair. Wait is that why we’re called Latinos?
Would be amazing if we could also get a translation for the various chants during soundtracks, like Sixteen Strikes and Legacy of Bhaal.
16:29. The 'reveal your secrets' makes me think zone of truth was thought about being added
12:30 igmiss
I did my first playthrough as a ranger and hearing 'Est praedae me' still gives me goosebumps :D I really loves this
IGNIS! IGNIS! IGNIS! IGNIS! IGNIS!
I took Latin in high school and this is a treat for me!! Rediscovered and spoken in game surprised me!
i noticed the BG2 chants among the unknown/unused ones. and here i thought they only went to the extra effort of recording new chants. nope, they went to the extra extra effort of recording new ones, AND old ones.
Te curo is funny because I always hear it as "take cure". Which is very on point lol
IGNIIIS!!!
(Critical miss)
INCAENDE
FLAGERA! (Dunno where it is in the video tho)
Flagra is my favorite ball of light that deals good radiant damage. It also sounds great when thrown.
12:29 🔥
"Fiat Lux!" And "Incende!" Are also from Realms of Arkania spell incantations, and sound juat as cool. There's also "Venti voco!" which means "I call the Wind."
This is very unique to know this . Thank you for the upload !
Sometimes I put Shadowheart in my party for a battle or two just to hear these lines
as someone who studied latin the accent is actually pretty on point
those rolling R's
Lol and if you don't the spell won't work😂
I always thought that Shart said "Take cure", to be honest.
Yep, I also thought she said that ngl
Well, the closest in english would be something like "thee cureth".
Weird construction but close to latim.
Whenever Shadowblart cures me she sounds like a little-league coach telling me to "take two"
12:23 NINTENDO!
Thank you so muchhh!
I'll be updating this with my favourites hehe.
1:01 man this is so hard to pronounce
2:10 I love how harsh it sounds
4:26 Death and strength summons sound softer somehow
5:00 I finally know what it means
All of them did such a wonderful job, but Astarion, Gale and Shadowheart's VA absolutely nailed it.
13:44 the warlock experience in combat
as someone who speaks latin fluently it drives me up a wall that they pronounce the Vs like we do
I couldn't roll my R's the way she does if someone held a gun to my head, how in the hell
Fiat Voluntus Dei is genuinely burned into my mind and i couldnt even tell you what spell it is XD
'Vos curo' sounds like 'Os quiero' (I love you) and I think it sounds cute 🥰
8:11 Actually, the line should be a bit different, since "facere" has a special property. In its imperative form, it is one of few words to be contracted to just its root, which is..."fac". This is also why I think that they changed it lol.
(This also applies to "dicere" turning it into..."dic". In German schools, it is common to teach these irregular words as the mnemonic "Dic, duc, fac, fer", which is just peak funny to me.
That first dolor at 13:44 caught me off guard 😳
As a romance language speaker i naturally understand most of them
I’m like a minute and a half in. But is she doing classical Latin pronunciation? Badass!
The sound effects and battle music were usually too loud that i could never actually understand a lot of the incantations the VAs were saying
@@deathmetalparrot172 Yup. And I also find it strange how you cannot isolate these voice lines from the game settings. It will still leave the sfx from the spells in.
Yeah, I think the only lines I understood from the whole game was "IGNIS!" and "AMICUS ANIMALES". But this video showed a lot of stuff I could understand as a portuguese speaker.
6:46 this took me back to italian class in elementary school
Studying Latin for 8 years made this game really fun!
I think she had a hell of a vocal coach for that latin pronunciation because it sounds very italian to me, lol.
Also, as a portuguese speaker, I could understand a lot lf it.
Can the spell names be included, not just the symbol? It's hard to follow along while figuring out which spell is which.
Well it's kinda too late :)) Didn't do it because a lot of spells reuse voice lines and it would have taken a long while to list all of them correctly on top of how much it took to put all of this together in the first place. Now, since I did look through all the spells in-game while making the video, I do know most/almost all of them and where the voice lines play. At least I hope I remember. So if you want to know a specific one in particular, let me know.
hearing some original BG1-2 spell incantations made me quite nostalgic
Jennifer English’s is my favorite voice in this game. She was better than Neil to me!
Need to see Shart and Bayonetta have a chant off
Im learning Latin in college. I first noticed the druids doing their ritual-- "hey, theyre all chanting latin!"
TE CURO 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭🩷🩷🩷🩷
Thank you for your work！ Always wonder what they say when casting spells.
Rolling the Rs and pronouncing C as K. This pleases me.
I like the idea of yelling these spells in english lol “HEALTHY BODIES!”
I need also to mark which spell for which quote, but cannot see here
I wanted to do that at first, but a lot of spells share the same voice line and that would have added like so much more time to research every one. I was already burnt out when finishing it. Sorry.
@@Mr.Otter1 I agree, but then you can group quotes up
I am not criticizing you, just a wish from a single utube user :)
And in any case great job
yeah I was thinking the same thing ngl. Would have taken a tad more research tho
Some of the unused lines are from the previous games. I kinda wish they kept them as a nod.
Some of the others also could have been for cut spells like cat's grace and owl's wisdom.
AD MORTEM INIMIC- Ops, wrong game my bad

Jennifer is THE VOICE ❤
What would it cost to get you to do this for Gale?
She rolls her R's so good
As an italian, hearing shart speaking latin seems like a family guy episode with the italians 😂
I'm having For Honor flashbacks, I can't help but giggle.
Wow, the enery with which these are vocalised!
6:45 This translation is not quite correct. “Invictus” means “Unconquerable,” or “undefeatable,” not “unconquered.”
Basically same thing
@@razier5299 Not exactly. “Unconquerable” means “nothing will ever be able to conquer,” “unconquered” means “not conquered yet.”
I always heard “te curo” as “take cure” lmao
9:42 NIHIL! NIHIL! NIHIIIIL!
Me reciting back my mum's shopping list after my Latin orchestra:
Jennifer is so amazing 😊
Te curo, also known as "Take two' "
I'm surprised by how good the Latin pronunciation is.
Latin is such an AMAZING language
