True Names

Everything in Mishtar has a true name, the name of it's soul. Knowing something, or someone's true name gives an arcane magic user power over them. Most people do not know their true name. Those training to be wizards must discover their true name to move beyond cantrips. Those that fail to do so tend to become alchemists instead. Sorcerers innately know their own true name, as well as the true name of other things, like fire.
