It's OK. This is for Princess and also all things GG: I was careful to phrase it that way in the intro so no one felt too obliged to keep things too narrow.
I can't give a full response right now; Have to go do some other Good Things that Need Doing Today. But add in that the Fs are a) apparently quite aware that Sparks are gods/demigods of Europa right now, that b) the concept of "The Divine Spark" floats through all this, c) that the Fs are absolutely, inescapably fantasy-literate, and will know all the concepts of Words of Power and literally chanted "spels," and that they are utterly open about the fact that this is "Science" being conflated with "Magic." See if that gets you any further with the idea of some mysterious power of voice and word.
Meanwhile I have to go read a book for an article.... sigh.
