[DF] Arabian Nights questions

[b-dog]

I was thinking that spells could be written in ancient languages like Egyptian and Babylonian. They may be written in obscure form as well. The idea is to have wizards know a lot of different languages and thus the the reason why they are assumed to be so intelligent and scholarly. I was thinking that maybe the spells were grantee to mortals by the earlier pagan gods or maybe they were some sort of prayer to then that they responded to by granting supernatural favors in any case, the spells were part of an earlier time before Islam became dominant.
