Word of inspiration is a level 5 psycast that grants a mental inspiration to its target.
Acquisition[edit]
There are two ways to acquire the word of inspiration psycast:
- Upon reaching psylink level 5, a random psycast of level 5 is granted regardless of how this level up is achieved. This won't apply if the psycaster already knew one or more level 5 psycast.
- Word of inspiration can also be acquired from a psytrainer naming it. See the psytrainer page for further details.

Analysis[edit]
 | This section is suggested to be rewritten. Reason: Currently just a Copy-paste of minor tactics previously on Psycasts - needs verification, rewriting, formatting, and expansion. You can help the RimWorld Wiki by improving it. |
- Word of Inspiration can be used to great effect when combined with a persona weapon with the Kill-focused trait.
- Since this trait counts it as a "kill" when the bonded pawn slaughters an animal with the weapon equipped and held, rapidly-breeding animals such as geese, chickens, and ducks (which lay an egg every 1.6, 2.0, and 3.5 days, respectively) can be turned directly into inspirations by hatching the eggs, then slaughtering the chicks, at a ratio of 4 animal slaughters per inspiration.
- This means that that, after a warm-up period while the first eggs incubate, each female goose (provided they have a male to fertilize the eggs) is worth 0.15625 inspirations per day.
