If you wanted truly unique names, you'd have to come up with some wierd variations. Chain Lightning could become 'Rifariath's (W)Rath'. Rifariath is now the god of lightning on Zodiac. Perhaps it could be called 'Jumping Lightning' or 'Lightning which passes on within proximity'.

Most things in games are called what they are called due to the fact it's the most appropriate name. Should fireballs be called, "Flaming Projectiles" or "Flying Ball of Incredibly Hot Materials"? Dispell does exactly what it says. What other decent words are there? Purge is a common english word. What could we call it? 'Soul Vacuum'?

Awesome idea! I'll assign one of the graphic artists on it.

Twinny all of those things you said you should rename everything actually sounded semi decent to me. It sounded creative and it could actually work lol.

I see no point. There is nothing wrong with having a spell named chain lightning. Everyone knows that if they want a chain lighting spell, they will know exactly what it will do. If I see a spell called 'Rifariath's Wrath' I won't know what in the hell it is and won't even connect it to "Chain Lightning". This goes for all spells, spell names aren't copywrite nor can they be stolen unless it is something like "Bigby's Crushing Hand" or "Melf's Acid Arrow". (Let's see how many people aren't noobs and actually know what those two spells are)
