Help translating to Latin for my novel..
Hi all, I am new to this board. I have an interest in Latin because it is an ancient language. and not many people speak it anymore. I am currently in the process of writing a fiction novel that is set in a Medieval time period. There is magic in my book, and I would really like the magic spells to have a verbal component to them. And you guessed it, I would like the incantations to be in Latin, preferrably classical. From what I understand the ecclesiastical Latin pronounces the letter V as we do in regular English, is that correct? I would like to use Latin in its purest form. The latinesque of Harry Potter bothers me because I know that it is not the 'real' way to speak it, and to me, it screams either laziness or lack of care for authenticity.
With that being said, what is the best way for me to structure my requests? Shall I list them all in one post, or would it be better suited and easier to create seperate posts for each spell translation? Thank you so much for your time and patience, they are greatly appreciated!!
