Atercia

I was looking for some help on a novel I've been working on. The main villain is the head of one of many empires in my world but he controls 16 out of 21 of the dragon riders, and he himself is the seventeenth. I was hoping to brainstorm ways to make him more than the others. A near impossible to beat enemy for the other four riders. The other thing I need help on is magic. The magic uses a alternate language where each word is the spell (example fire is allistati) I need help with making spells so say the word(s) in their made up form and then what it means. All help is thanked and welcomed... so thanks!

And it can be anything you would find useful in a medival fantasy world. Deffinitions on what the longer or more abstract spells do are welcome too

Easiest way to make someone much stronger is that they made a deal with an occult power. Strength in exchange for something else.

However, a better enemy would be someone who is equal to them but makes the best out of situations. Manipulative being the best example. He has somehow convinced 16 others to join him and therefore he must have some hold on them through various reasons.

Spell names I'm a bit useless on but try bashing the keyboard and seeing what words you come out with. Some on them may end up like spell names

Yeah, I was thinking of that as well. Have him promise the world to one of the evil gods in exchange for power. The keyboard thing is a good idea think ill try it. Thanks!
