Hiding nuance is one thing, hiding syntax to a command, not a special tattoo or item, which a player has no way of learning on his own, not only fosters ooc talk that breaks immersion and outs characters,it’s completely demoralizing to the new player. I dont think it is reasonable to expect every vet maran to gauge whether a new maran is newb or not and potentially have to ask, “do you know the syntax to cry to inner?”

If you do, then I can only guess it’s because you don’t want a feature of the power “out there.”

But it is a very dangerous standard to hide syntax to game powers within the word of mouth tree. Undocumented details that players can discover are great. Undocumented game commands? That players could not possibly learn on their own without being part of the in-the-know crowd ooc? That really turns people away.
