Ooh--I like the first idea quite a bit.

I've had a pretty good idea in mind for background fiction for a while now, too. Expect it in a week-ish or less.

Latin, Greek, Indian, Olde English or French, or anything else that works.

One thing to keep in mind though, is that it had bloody well better be a good translation (grammar and all), or else nothing doing (I refuse Harry Potter spells).

Basically, some open ways for non-artists to earn oodles of XP.

I Offer in French if a translation is needed.

You do realize that you're talking to a person who once scoured online Algonquin dictionaries for two hours, in order to come up with a name for a fictional Native American country--right?

This should be fun...

How about Dutch?

I would prefer older, dead languages, and ones that no one here actually speaks.

My personal preference is Latin, Greek, or Indian (as in Sri Rajian for Kuzan) followed by Egyptian, Arabic, Farsi, or Old English (as in 10th Century).

...Old Norse? How about Old Norse? Finally, a way to make my education seem less utterly useless!

Ooh! And the guy who lives across the hall from me is fluent in Bengali.

...Yeah, I figured as much...

I can probabley trundle something out in Tibetan or maybe arabic for a laugh, anyone have a list of spells that want doing?

d00d, it's like a freakin' Tower of Babel in here. Old Norse? Chinese (Is that Mandarin or Cantonese, KK?) and Japanese? Not to mention the native speakers of French and Dutch...

Well, I gots Spanish and a little Koine Greek and Latin to pitch in there...

Kaitou Kage · Post by **Kaitou Kage** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:57 pm

Mandarin!

lostboy · Post by **lostboy** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:57 pm

Oh i could also chuck in portuguese but dont think that'll get me very far

NeoTiamat · Post by **NeoTiamat** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:59 pm

Woosh, this seems to be a multilingual hit. No Chinese or Japanese, simply because none of the characters hails from that cultural background.

Anyway, I have about 85 spells prepared for the moment, and I can send them out in chunks of twenty.

One chunk being sent to Whistler, another to Nathan.

Any other volunteers?
