Oh, wow. Okay. That’s a pretty graphic image lol.

Ask and ye shall receive!

Additional quirk mechanics:

• Silvertongue is an emitter-type quirk. Aizawa can erase it.
• Pronunciation is the key. If he doesn’t properly pronounce words, nothing will happen. Speaking with a lisp or with his mouth filled with food will not make his quirk work.
• He can’t pause in between sentences for more than a second (only enough to catch his breath in case of long tangents), because nothing will also happen.
• While tripping over his words will not activate his quirk, stuttering won’t stop his quirk from working as long as he manages to completely pronounce the word. (e.g. Saying “Smaug will evishe- eviscerate you.” does nothing. Saying “Smaug will e-eviscerate you” is still valid.)
• His current limit is being able to read out loud continuously for a minute. If he wants to read again after reaching the limit, he has to take a 10-second pause because once he passes the 1-minute mark, he tires out his jaw muscles and voice/throat (how tired a person is from talking is doubled when his quirk is active). This is another reason why he is a manic mumbler; he crams a lot of words in under a minute.
• If you knock Izuku out, whatever he summoned disappears. He’s actually vulnerable by himself, so he pushes his body when training to be fit enough to run or dodge, and won’t be a sitting duck. He does not become muscly and truly athletic until All Might makes him pick up trash at Dagobah.
• Whatever Izuku summons is merely a shade of what is written (i.e. they’re nerfed and/or are less powerful versions). For example, Poseidon can’t do god-like feats (like split the sea in half), but he’s still pretty strong due to his abilities (like creating whirlpools, just not tsunami levels of whirlpools). Or he could read out about a world-ending meteor shower and he’ll get a less destructive, less powerful one.
• To voluntarily disperse whatever he summoned, Izuku must either re-read or recite the passage word-for-word, or write and subsequently read something that would make them disappear (e.g. “After destroying everything, Smaug disappears in a wave of thick smoke, returning to the mountain whence it came.”)

(More under the cut.)
