Truename

Truename was a powerful arcane enchantment and alteration spell that granted tremendous power over any creature that had a true name.

Effects
If the caster was able to determine the true name of a creature after extensive research, that name was called out during the casting and followed by a recitation of the history of the creature. The caster could then decide to polymorph the creature, give them multiple suggestions, transport the creature to a desired location, weaken them to the point of surrender, or utterly dominate the creature to the point where they behaved like a slave or loyal servant.

Components
This spell required only verbal and somatic components to cast.

History
The truename spell was originally developed in the Outer Planes that leaned towards lawful alignment. At some point, this spell was inscribed within the Tome of Shaping Secrets.

Notable Users
