![Astarion slowly falls in love through greetings | Baldur's Gate 3 [Cinematic GMV]](/img/n.gif)
This is such a good resource for any DnD players that want to add more flare for their spells' verbal component!
Exactly what I came here for lol
Dum Vita est, spes est! My steed will be delighted to hear that

@@elinlaverde Not enough likes on this one haha
And somehow Gale almost never misses with fire bolt
I love that she's really feeling this...even better after confirming that this was one of her favorite things to record.
I can see Jenn all intense saying these lines, the ultra strong R pronunciation gives me life haha
6:47 I never get tired of her casting silence with the loudest shout imaginable.
Librarians when shushing someone
You would love silencer's ultimate voice line from Dota 2.
Can we just appreciate that not only did Shadowheart's voice actress record all these spells and variations, but that every other origin character and hireling did too in case you switched their class to use any spell? (This doesn't even include enemy VAs)
That is pure dedication
And she easily does it best. Close tie with Gale, I guess
I really love how she shouts incende. A lot of power behind that.
Same. I think SH's VA did the voice lines the best. The others are good too, but usually they are more calm. She goes all in 🤣
@@Mr.Otter1 yeah, I understand why you chose her for this video, casting with Shadowheart feels the most satisfying, especially when the spell hits.
Yeah but that’s for sacred flame, the spell that never hits😂
@@Thatwalrus27 ain't that the truth. The circlet of intelligence helps a lot tho. I don't know if that spell is cast with intelligence or wisdom, but that could also be a factor for it failing so much.
Honestly the way Wyll says arde after using hellish rebuke is pretty satisfying
you can tell just how much she enjoyed doing this by the energy in her voice. Good job Jen❤
13:43 my heart melted a bit
they did a colossal job in this game, and the idea of following the tradition of BG1 and 2 of using Latin for spells is the icing on the cake. I can only imagine the agony of voice actors having to read and shout phrases in Latin when their native language is English. and I tell you that it is not easy or immediate even for us Italians, and pronunciation errors are easily forgivable. I'm happy to read in the comments how much the sound of Latin is appreciated and I tell you that if pronounced correctly it's even better❤
Honestly, yes some of them would really sound a lot better if pronounced corectly. That being said, I swear I prefer the butchered version for a few :)))
As someone from Latinoamerica with spanish as their first language, this is all a bit funny to me. For example the spell Lesser Restoration in latin is "Te Absolvo" and in spanish that would be "te absolvo" exactly the same. Also works with a bunch of other spells, "te curo" is also the exact same words and spelling as in spanish. Imagine getting caught off guard on your first playthrough when i was like ARE THEY SPEAKING SPANISH? later to realize it was latin. But hearing Astarion telling me he absolves me every morning curing my bloodlessness, i enjoy.
Jennifer killed it
I’ve been looking for this exact type of video of all the latin chants, thank you!! I hope you do all the other companions
Been thinking about it, but it remains to be seen honestly. The structure of the video is done, so I would only have to get the voice lines but it takes a pretty long time to sort the ability voice lines out from the regular ones. This whole video took me around a month so currently just taking a break :))
@@Mr.Otter1 gotcha. i was looking around on reddit on how to extract sound files from this game and it seemed hard, especially because the files aren’t named and put in order so I completely understand!!
@@hawwquinn Oh, the process itself is not hard at all, but yeah it's a lot to sort through. The extractor unzips over 100k voice files and they are named something like v3ef456....etc and you have to find your character then listen to them.
@@Mr.Otter1 well if you ever do end up doing other characters, I’ll be looking forward to seeing it!!
After casting Misty Step a 1000 times, I had to find out what they were saying lol thanks for the video!
13:02 I always thought this sounded like 'HOW DARE YOU' when Wyll pointed at goblins during the battle
8:10 quod dico face sounds like what my Tav says when he casts telekinesis
I love this video. The Latin incantations are a big part of what makes spellcasting fun. Halsin is mute even when casting spells in my game 😢
Thank you so much for this - I've been trying to find the chants for spells for my fics for a while and this made it a thousand times easier
10:59 A little note of caution here. “Est” (he/she/it is) is the third-person conjugation of “esse,” (to be). You’re looking for the second person conjugation, which is “es.”
13:27 Also, “tormentum” can mean “missile” as in something that’s thrown.
Some unused longer spell chantings are from BG1 and BG2! I wish they kept them, they sound badass.
This is very unique to know this . Thank you for the upload !
omg I've been looking for something like this for a while.. I absolutely love the incantations. Latin is such a beautiful language T.T
Interesting how in the Unused section they have a bunch of chants from the first two games, like the Vita Mortis Careo that gets burned into your brain by playing those games.
Also it seems that some in the unused section actually fit existing spells (e.g. shatter and circle of death specifically)
Oh, nice! I didn't know those were from the first two games. Yeah, I'm guessing they had them planned for existing spells and just ended up using something else. Also for some spells, not a lot but a few, there are A LOT of different takes. Like in game you hear 3 variations but in the files you have 10 or 11 for some all with different accents and intonations. So I guess they are just leftovers. I do have like 3 or 4 more chants from the unused section that I did not include cause they were extremely short with 1 word and kinda hard to translate.
Thank you so muchhh!
Amazing work! I want to use it in my DND games for better immersion! Thank you!
Glad to be of service 🦦
"Cave circulum" / "Avoid the circle" was probably meant for the spell "Magic circle" which didn't make it ingame.
From the wiki:
3rd-level abjuration
Casting Time: 1 minute
Range: 10 feet
Components: V, S, M (holy water or powdered silver and iron worth at least 100 gp, which the spell consumes)
Duration: 1 hour
You create a 10-foot-radius, 20-foot-tall cylinder of magical energy centered on a point on the ground that you can see within range. Glowing runes appear wherever the cylinder intersects with the floor or other surface.
Choose one or more of the following types of creatures: celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, or undead. The circle affects a creature of the chosen type in the following ways:
The creature can’t willingly enter the cylinder by nonmagical means. If the creature tries to use teleportation or interplanar travel to do so, it must first succeed on a Charisma saving throw.
The creature has disadvantage on attack rolls against targets within the cylinder.
Targets within the cylinder can’t be charmed, frightened, or possessed by the creature.
When you cast this spell, you can elect to cause its magic to operate in the reverse direction, preventing a creature of the specified type from leaving the cylinder and protecting targets outside it.
At Higher Levels. When you cast this spell using a spell slot of 4th level or higher, the duration increases by 1 hour for each slot level above 3rd.
Spell Lists. Cleric, Paladin, Warlock, Wizard
This could also fit the Glyph of Warding no?
@@skubi3735could be, but spells usually use its function as chant, and we don't want people avoiding our Glyphs 😂
As an italian, hearing shart speaking latin seems like a family guy episode with the italians 😂
I'm having For Honor flashbacks, I can't help but giggle.
That is one hell of a rolling R
13:49 gotta love when you hear this and everything around you melts
12:00 Gave me some serious South Park vibes
Thank you for your work！ Always wonder what they say when casting spells.
IGNIIIS!!!
(Critical miss)
INCAENDE
those rolling R's
Lol and if you don't the spell won't work😂
Can the spell names be included, not just the symbol? It's hard to follow along while figuring out which spell is which.
Well it's kinda too late :)) Didn't do it because a lot of spells reuse voice lines and it would have taken a long while to list all of them correctly on top of how much it took to put all of this together in the first place. Now, since I did look through all the spells in-game while making the video, I do know most/almost all of them and where the voice lines play. At least I hope I remember. So if you want to know a specific one in particular, let me know.
"Fiat Lux!" And "Incende!" Are also from Realms of Arkania spell incantations, and sound juat as cool. There's also "Venti voco!" which means "I call the Wind."
12:29 🔥
6:45 This translation is not quite correct. “Invictus” means “Unconquerable,” or “undefeatable,” not “unconquered.”
I always thought that Shart said "Take cure", to be honest.
I need also to mark which spell for which quote, but cannot see here
I wanted to do that at first, but a lot of spells share the same voice line and that would have added like so much more time to research every one. I was already burnt out when finishing it. Sorry.
@@Mr.Otter1 I agree, but then you can group quotes up
I am not criticizing you, just a wish from a single utube user :)
And in any case great job
yeah I was thinking the same thing ngl. Would have taken a tad more research tho
Need to see Shart and Bayonetta have a chant off
TE CURO 🥺🥺🥺🥺😭😭😭😭🩷🩷🩷🩷
12:30 igmiss
Me senti como si estuviera en catecismo
aaa ijust wish the spells were grouped with the chant;;
19:41 VITA MORTIS CAREO
14:48 what is the name of that spell? I never heard Shart spell that in the game 😮
That is for Vampiric Touch if I'm not mistaken.
@@Mr.Otter1 thanks ✨
i have a suspicion that i can guess what the unused lines were going to go too
Artificer probably
So what's the destructive wave chant oVo
Really wish I could tell which spell she is saying, all I can do is guess :/
How did you isolate her voice lines without the spell sound FX?
Yeah, I found it weird that they cannot be isolated from the game audio settings, because of that I had to extract the voice files from the game. And then add the reverb/echo.
@@Mr.Otter1 I bet! I only have the game on Xbox so I can't file extract unfortunately, what would I have to do to bother you to extract Wyll's MACTE VIRTUTE? Its all I ever wanted lol
@@ZoloTheLegendTrust me when I say I would do that in an instant for you if the process wasn't so tedious. The problem is that when you extract the voice files, it extracts all of them. I think there were more than 100k files. And then I have to search for it which is just torture. Almost gave up on SH too and I've missed some of them cause in the video there are voice lines with only 2 variations instead of 3. Although, I will try to record it in the game and if they come out clean I will let you know.
@@Mr.Otter1 the fact that you even responded is service enough, I appreciate the candor! I've got as clean a recording as I can get in the game turning off all other audio sources but in game they tie the voice line in with sound effects so you can't get it without those.
Which they do still sound epic but a clean one would be so useful LOL. I'm going to figure it out eventually even if I have to wait for someone else on CZcams. Thanks a lot though Mr Otter!
Impero tibi
4:07 The spelling and meaning is off here. The spelling is “aranei,” and the meaning is something closer to “cobwebs.” (“aranei” are “spiders.”).
Yup, saw that afterwards. Actually, there a few other mistakes too. Thanks for pointing out though!
@@Mr.Otter1 I’m not an expert in Latin, I grasped some of it from my Religious Studies courses in college. I just used a dictionary for that particular one.
12:28
does any one know the word for the Telekinesis spell?
I know they say "Quod dico face" but I am not sure if there is a secondary voice line as well
@@Mr.Otter1 thank you very much!!!!
@@DepressionOfMyCat :3
Did i miss "Cloud of daggers?"
Yup, missed it. The voice line is in the unknown/unusued section
@@Mr.Otter1 Thanks!
@Mr.Otter1 I didn't hear it. I heard what it used to sound like. 3 words.
But now when I cast the spell they sound like they are saying "kai dor".
@@solidsnx Oh, it used to sound different? Have a link with a video or something similar? Can probably tell if I didn't include it or not then.
@Mr.Otter1 Irritatingly, it doesn't let me link things even if i separate it. But there is a video where they say "ira et dolo". Now i hear something very different
this atrocious pronunciation in English... it's killing me...
It killed me when I was trying to translate it too lmao. I don't know if it was a decision taken by the director tho. Cause some characters pronounce some quotes differently.
I studied Latin formally and those are not classical Latin pronunciations, at least not the VA used in this video. Sounds much more Italian than Latin.
(In before that guy... Of course they're directly related, but they're not identical in either grammar or pronunciation.)
@@PaulRGauthier italian??? Where?? I am italian and this pronunciation has nothing of italian. Bah
It feels more epic than the correct pronunciation in my opinion
Who cares? It sounds cool and that's what matters
Is there some kind of lore on how they know latin? Or is this some kind of parallel earth theory
