Elidritch Force and Mystic Force

[Zen Mallowbrooks]

So I recently had an idea for a new character who would be a gypsy celestial caster who is very flamboyant and likes to elongate the incantations for his spells. I started to write out some ideas for these incants but quickly ran into a problem: where do spells that use Mystic Force and Eldritch Force spells draw their power from? Obviously, when someone casts an evocation spell, they call elemental forces to create an effect, however with mystic force and eldritch spells where do those effects come from?

Sounds like a cool idea. I'm not quite sure I completely understand what the intonations will be like, but for eldritch versus mystic force, I think I would concentrate on the ideas inherent within the words themselves: Eldritch with all of its eerie and creepiness, and mystic with its esoteric, otherworldly and ethereal aspects. In addition, I'd tie in ideas with regards to how the spells are used; generally mystic forces are for binding of some kind, and eldritch forces are mostly for creation. So, maybe something like...

"With the creeping, crawling powers bestowed upon me by the great Northern Plow, I call upon the essence of the stars themselves to come down and with eldritch force, I build a prison!"

Or perhaps...

"I summon the essence of the great stars above to grant me the power of the ethereal worlds beyond! Come forth and augment my might as with mystic force I bind you!"

Is something like that what you're looking for? If so, it sound super awesome!

That's pretty much exactly what I'm thinking about. I'm pretty much just drafting ideas right now, but I intend to have longer incants and shorter ones to use in tense situations (I may just drop the extended versions in combat, haven't quite decided yet). I've come up with a bunch more ideas with your help but being a fairly new player I'm still kinda confused as to how celestial magic works in-game. I guess what I'm looking for is an in-game explanation of celestial magic akin to what someone would give to someone they were teaching celestial magic to. Does that make sense?
