Fun fact, in a Campaign I’m playing, my Fey Bard simply “stole” the Deadname of our Cleric and now she has a total of four names and it’s awesome for everyone 😄
The classic: “May I have your name?” blunder
Hell of a lot faster than going through the courthouse for a name change. Probably cheaper and more effective too.
Do not trifle with Appellomancers.

I love Oglaf so much
The shitty person ends up with Daphne written all over them like Jim Carrey in Liar Liar
I’d go back to college to study apellomancy in a heartbeat.
“So why is it 20 GP if all you did was wave your hands around and chant some incantations? Anyone could have done that…”
“Here’s an itemized bill. 1 copper piece for waving my hands around. 1 copper piece for the incantation. 1 copper piece for the scroll… 97cp, 9sp, and 19gp for the education and experience to know which hand waving, incantations, and spell scrolls to use.”
Seriously, every single freelancer or contractor has gotten the “Well I could have done that, what the hell am I paying you for? That only took you like 10 minutes” response after their education and experience makes the job look easy.
I suspect you could do that in Mage: the Ascension (CAN YOU GUESS WHAT CAMPAIGN I AM PREPPING?!) I could see it as Prime 5/Mind 3 for super powerful blessing that makes people lose track of thought whenever they’re about to deadname you. A Mind 3/Life 2 would be less pwoerful version, you could probably add Correspondence to increase the radius of this passive effect. I do not think it may even cause too much Paradox either, it’s very Cointidental magic.
This sounds like the rpg I have been waiting for
