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.

trey_palmer of the horizonvirtual Yahoo! Group provides the following resources for computer terms:

Some standard D20 terms I'm looking for Virtual equivalents for at the moment are:
- Magic (in the sense of the single generic term for rewrites and rewriting).
- Poisonous (as in something that is naturally dangerous to programs; term needs to relate back to the Virtual term for poison, "codeeater")
- dispelling/dispelled (i.e. negating the effect of an already-executed rewrite). Restoring? Debugging? Something along the lines of correcting code.
- Cantrip (a basic rewrite)
