Python runtime. Time for you to run from these pythons bitch.

BSOD. Pretty self-explanatory

Agile development. Raises Dex everytime a new enemy enters vision.

Kernel Space - banishes the target to a plane of existence filled with corn

B Tree - an AOE summon of a permanent swarm of bees in the targeted area until the bees all die or leave naturally

Monad - device that transmutes one set of spell components into another. These can be strung together to form very complex things.

Extended Backus-Naur Form - Allows one to transform into a memetic form to be carried in the mind of another; also extends to your clothing and any carried items.

I had a bit too much fun with these :)

Magical Items

• The Bandwidth Cap
  Cursed item that limits the magical power of it’s wearer
• The Token Ring
  Magical ring that allows the wielder to communicate over large distances. They can receive messages from one token ring and send message to another.

  Protective charm that shields the mind from intrusion.
• The Shadow Register
  A magical ledger that records secrets and hidden locations in the immediate area.
• The Superscalar
  A legendary shimmering sword that can strike multiple foes in a single attack.

Spells

• Loopback
  Redirects a spell to its point of origin.
• Jabber
  Causes the target to produce incoherent speech and lose its train of thought.
• Branch Prediction
  Gives the caster foresight to predict their opponent’s next action.
• Traceroute
  A tracking spell that reveals the path of a target.
• Mask
  Hides the caster’s true identity.
• Hypertransport
  Enables instantaneous movement over short distances.
• Interrupt

Spell modifiers

• Broadcast
  Modifies spell to affect a large area.

  Modifies spell to affect a single point with maximum damage.
• Multicast
  Modfies spell to affect multiple selected targets.
• Repeater
  Modifies spell to recast itself over multiple turns.

Bounds execption: Allows larger objects to fit in smaller containers, ritual spell effective for 1 day, can be upcast to increase amount of “overfill”, some check when retrieving the item for a chance of “corruption” (small chance to retrieve a different item, or have the “overfill” become something different like have the outer edge of a bar of gold be meat)

Paralellization: High level time magic, Allows the target multiple turns to be taken simultaneously, but an equivalent cooldown afterwards (waiting for all threads or jobs to return before being able to continue), so 3 turns at once means 2 turns the target can’t do anything after.

Split brain configuration: Allows focusing on multiple concentration checks/spells at once. This could also be called paralellization, or multithreaded.

Pass By Reference enchantment: requires two identical items. Once enchanted, changes to one happen to both. Room for all sorts of shenanigans.

Private field: cast on an area to prevent entry/visibility into it by unauthorized entities. Sounds inside are not audible to unauthorized entities outside of it.
