👉 The act of making a story, belief, or legend more dramatic or fantastical than it actually is. It involves exaggerating elements of a story to make it more appealing and engaging for the audience. This can sometimes be done intentionally by storytellers or narrators who want their stories to sound more impressive. However, it can also be seen as manipulative or unfair when used in a negative way, such as creating unrealistic expectations from others based on the story's content.
