Sympathetic resonant induction. The interaction of frequencies is the underlying principle of both string theory and music theory. Assign various “flavors” of string which resonate with different elements/colleges/domains, spells sung or played properly in tune manipulate the fabric of reality.
Develop a musical language, look into Solresol and Enochian for some inspiration. Include monasteries with gongs and singing bowls, church organs, choirs, anything like that. Religions lean heavy into “the Word”.
