Alliteration means that a group of words start with the same sound. Often times this means the same letter, but not always. For example “cat”, “Quail”, and “Kidney” are all alliterative, although they each start with different letters. Some poets and linguists also argue that vowels are all alliterative with each-other, however that part is up for debate. Is there a reason Treacherous Trapezist only pays attention to spelling, rather than how a word sounds? “Circle of Confinement” passes the definition of alliteration according to Treacherous Trapezist, but it’s not actually alliterative.

I understand that Treacherous Trapezist’s definition doesn’t match the English definition, but it’s easier to track and identify, and that won the day. Magic-ese and English don’t always line up.

Regarding Treacherous Trapezist, the definition of alliterative don't fully match the definition of alliteration, which is based on sound, not letter. So "Centaur Courser" is alliterative but doesn't actually have alliteration, but "Kiddie Coaster" isn't an alliterative permanent even though the name does have alliteration. What was the reason for that change? An issue of language compatibility? Was referring to the sound of a word too complex? Or something else?

We chose to prioritize something that was easy to monitor over perfectly matching the English definition. There is one spell in the set that is alliterative by the English defintion, but not by the Treacherous Trapezist.
