:: Yeah, I understand the "Unforgivable Curse" part - it's more "Word of Power" I'm struggling with.

I don't know to what "Word of Power" in the title text refers. A quick Google revealed something from Skyrim and something from D&D, but I have the feeling there must surely be a more original source for it, even if it is just a common term in folklore or something.
