And conveniently, "gaunted" happens to be the term the playerbase uses in it's OOC discussion as a result of such verbification that you speak of. It is commonplace event enough for CFers OOC to form such new verb. Also, it refers to using a command to call nightgaunt on someone. For the conjurer character, it is a complex summoning procedure.

Can you explain how likely you consider such verbification to be happening for your evil conjurer? Does he discuss nightgaunting people with others often enough to form such verbs?

Also, as I mentioned, the verb is OOC term from nightgaunting, so people can't distinguish your conjurer using slang from you just using the OOC term. Thus, it is more likely to be regarded as semi-OOC when you use it and not as good roleplay. You can make clever excuses for it, but you will likely be unable to convey that to people so you're better off not using terms like "gaunt" in your RP.

This applies to other RL slang terms and expressions as well. You are better off not using most of them in CF if you want that your roleplay is regarded as good.
