This is a radical proposition concerning the effect of words when spoken that they could produce tangible results. "Words are all powerful beyond their own given meanings and province, their literal form. They are in and of themselves, do more than define, they have the ability to shape and create" (excerpt from Treatise).
The Treatise was composed by miscreant Dr. Byron Thigpen Marsh, internationally recognized linguistics scholar. It was developed through his life long study of forbidden tomes renown for their enchantments which caused dire results upon any who spoke aloud their words, such as Von Junzt's UNAUSSPRECHLICHEN KULTEN, Ludvig Prinn's DE VERMIS MYSTERIIS, Comte d'Erlette's CULTES DES GOULES, whose unsavory reputation spawn the dread belief that possessing the work would turn its holder into an existing reality of the text's subject matter, and the cursed GUMI-GAN-OK CHAEK of the Tcho Tcho people.
Dr. Marsh became acquainted with the Tchoan text via his explorer ancestor Erich Marsh, who was the first Westerner to discover the Tcho Tcho's sacred city Alaozar and their worship of Lloigor and Zhar. From that initial encounter, Byron Marsh traced the language family tree of them to a branch in Korea. Through illicit means, Dr. Byron T. Marsh exhumed a copy of the codex located on Jeju Island of Korea, deep within the bowels of the dormant volcano Mt. Halla, inside a Great Old One's shrine.
In his attempt to invoke Shathak through a Gumi-Gan-Ok Chaek recorded ritual, Marsh made an incalculable error and his unknown associate became the earthly embodiment of Sfatlicllp, reputed to require a host body to exist in the physical realm. However, Dr. Marsh proved that the spoken liturgy actually transforms the speaker into the goddess.
Feeling no remorse, Dr. Byron T. Marsh, having the ultimate proof he needed, published the now nefarious Thigpen Treatise.
