* Poisonous (as in something that is naturally dangerous to programs; term needs to relate back to the ''Virtual'' term for poison, "codeeater". The term should reflect "poisonous" in the sense that a nightshade berry can be poisonous to humans, not because someone added a poison to it, but because poison is formed naturally within the berry as part of its processes.) | * Poisonous (as in something that is naturally dangerous to programs; term needs to relate back to the ''Virtual'' term for poison, "codeeater".

Igtenio's brilliant suggestion of replacing "Dispel" with "Undo" hs been incorporated into the conversion guide. He's also suggested "Corrupted" as a replacement for "Undead", which makes sense to me. | Igtenio's brilliant suggestion of replacing "Dispel" with "Undo" hs been incorporated into the conversion guide.

| + | Igtenio and I have been batting some suggestions for a replacement of "cantrip" back and forth. The best we've been able to come up with are "Quickie" (his idea) and "One Liner" (mine), both of which have obvious drawbacks. Can anyone else come up with something? | ||

| + | How about "macro"? It doesn't appear to ber used anywhere else in Program Space, and its computing-based definition, an easily-usable string of code that executes a complex command, seems equivalent with what a D&D cantrip does. | ||
