Naming notes
It writes scripture-style edicts for invented faiths, codes, or fictional law. The clauses are phrased as moral imperatives in second person ("seek wisdom as the thirsty seek water"), so they read as decrees a deity or order might hand down. Many pair a command with a concrete image, which gives each commandment a parable-like cadence rather than a flat rule.
