First use DND-001, Enchantment (S603): wi-fa-ki ne wi-ra-su lo-fa-wi

Composition

wi (will/intention) + fa-ki (W093: affect-modification). wi modifies fa-ki = the willful/intentional deployment of affect-shift. Distinct from fa-ki (W093) alone, which is any shift in affect-register; wi-fa-ki is specifically the willful magical deployment of that shift.

Notes

W183. First attested DND-001 (S603). Builds directly on fa-ki (W093), which was first attested in the wider emotional vocabulary. The -ki in fa-ki and the school -ki are the same root, preserving compositionality. fa-wi patient in S603: lo-fa-wi = "affect-will" = the combined affect-volitional state of the enchanted being.
