eoghan on the conjure list held forth on ndoki
ndoki may be political power, healing power, financial power, magical power, divinatory power, military and or athletic power or intellectual power. whatever kind of extraordinary power it may be, and these pretty much exhaust the main categories to which the term ndoki might be applied…
…ndoki is not a natural quality but a super-natural one. it is by definition, not only exceptional, but un-natural. normal people, and the vast majority of people are normal, do not possess ndoki. by the way, kongolese would assert that “normal” is good. while you might respect and even honor ndoki, good ndoki anyway, you are as likely to simultaneously fear it, and you would not want to be it.
