Re: Favorite Spell Incantation.
Just use the Pledge of Allegiance for every single spell. Claim there's nuance in the inflection of each word that dictates which spell it is.

Re: Favorite Spell Incantation.
Since it has observable effects in-setting, I like the idea of "spell level" being the number of lines in the incantation. E.g. a 3rd-level spell is three sentences long, and metamagic adds extra lines. You might end up with something like...

It's one of those old folk-lorish spells from my homeland. It's supposed to be used in conjunction with tracing a triangle around your head every time you say "tre" to invoke the holy trinity,and protect you from trolls and other old evil.
It's mostly whispered under your breath, but speaking it out loud sounds better. You should use it for a protection spell or something.

See if you can use this as your verbal component.

The Lord of the Rings is not a trilogy; words have meanings, and cannot be arbitrarily redefined just because you're lazy and/or careless. Or, put another way: Infer we shoe to gobble the blueberry jazz musician? Spleen! Water crackers pontificate when sebum roasts merrily for the lagoon.

I will levitate!Optimizing vs Roleplay
If the worlds greatest optimizer makes a character and hands it to the worlds greatest roleplayer who roleplays the character. What will happen? Will the Universe implode?
Roleplaying vs Fun
If roleplaying is no fun then stop doing it. Unless of course you are roleplaying at gunpoint then you should roleplay like your life depended on it.

Re: Favorite Spell Incantation.
So "Azurath metrion zinthos" isn't popular at anyone else's table?
I annoyed a friend by using Dragon shouts from Skyrim for a while. I have a good memory, and when you hear them over and over...
I've used incantations from Final Fantasy Tactics sometimes too

Re: Favorite Spell Incantation.
So much win in this thread. Also note that there are now TWO Angela Lansbury connected references here.
I've got one player that likes to add a little poetry to his castings - playing online, it ends up in chat (thankfully) That fell by the wayside as it became too time involved.
For the Goblin bard (which I very much had a hand in making), every spell has an associated song. Invisibility is the James Bond Themesong, and Shatter uses a bit of Rolling Stones (shadoobie). The exception is Stinking Cloud, which has its own unique mechanism.
He has a magic sword with two activation phrases: "Moon Tiara Magic!" (for Guiding Bolt) and "It's Showtime!" (for Moonbeam). The sword's magic doesn't require these, the sword just makes him do it before it'll activate.
Intelligent weapons are fun.
