So, I've got a kind of "Fallout except in a world of magic" type of story going on, where magic is done via a language who's pronunciation has been lost but the symbols are still known and effective for casting spells- with the main magic users being people who study the grammar of this language to figure out how to combine the correct combination of words to make the magic go. Very much a "magic as a computer coding language" type system. Brandon's made some very excellent names for his magic systems and magic users, and his talk of "taking two words and mashing them together" has definite merit- the three metallic arts, biochroma, shard-whatevers. I just can't for the life of me figure out a combination that actually LOOKS good- some kind of combination of coder or scribe with glyph or rune? Maybe use enchantment as a base word? I'm just stumped.
