To be fair, Legalese reads like magic to the average person already.

Might as well try to make your own incantations from those same magic words.

That's actually pretty close to the truth. They're LARPing their simulacra of legal speak.

They also treat some words as spells. As if the utterance alone creates an effect on reality.

As if the utterance alone creates an effect on reality.

I mean, the law has radically different effects based on the interpretation of a comma.

If sovcits ever manage to get one of their own elected as a judge, their utterances will, indeed, have a tangible effect on reality.
