Ok, found what I was looking for on the wiki, which is less shit than I thought it would be.

http://inheritance.wikia.com/wiki/Spell_creativity

"The example given by Brom was that a master could say Adurna (water) and produce a diamond. While it might seem improbable to some, the creative magician could clearly see the relationship between water and the diamond and use that as the focal point for the spell's intent."

What you intended to do with the spell was equally as important as the words you used to make it happen.

I guess I remember it being anal because it kind of was, but wasn't at the same time?

Shit man, I don't fucking know. Made some kind of sense in the books though, but then again I was eight when I started reading the first book.

As a consultation for the shitty answer, have this amazing picture from the linked wiki page.
