Okay, look at the Magical Languages section starting on p.87. That gives modifiers based on the language you cas the spell in. Your (hypothetical I suppose) Proto Indo-European sounds pretty mundane to me though it probably does count as an Ancient language.
Incidentally, I know what "cthonic" means and I strongly suspect both Ken Hite and Phil Masters do too but that word is not used that I can recall.
No Castenada that I can recall either and that's probably an example of parts of your list that are too individual/idiosyncratic to expect coverage of.
There probably is some talk of conciousness and consensual reality in parts of the book but I consider that no more than arcanobabble and it doesn't tend to stick with me.
