In some ways, it is. To read intent at the level of complexity it does - what a wizard says tends to come true, so it pays to watch what you say - it practically has to get in your head itself.

Not in an invasive sense, though. If a wizard defaults to that, back home, they're doing it wrong.

[And not just in the moral sense.]
