MooMoo's List of suggestions.

#1
Class suggestions:
I do apologize as I cannot remember which is which so I'll describe without the use
of terms from the previous server.... Reasons for suggestion, people are often confused
by what these current classes mean, I feel as if this would help resolve this. 

- The gathering of all dorms (GH) - Assembly 
- Sports time - Recreation 
- Free time - Leisure

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Spell suggestions:
To be frank, I think renaming all spells to something that's not Greek
would suffice, Greek is hard enough to speak, read and remember as
most of us speak English. I only have on suggestion that I'll keep nagging
guy about and that is the following:

- Anatrope changed to Yeetus :b
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm sure that I'll have more suggestions in the future once
the new map arrives b
ut this is it for now. Thanks! 
Bye.

allow players to input the name of each spell to show client-side. introducing gods and having greek incantations is hella confusing especially when no world building has been done. source of magic (whether from the atmosphere or internal or from some diety) hasn't been established

I really think that spells, classes, and some jobs shouldn't be fully Greek or Greek-based. I think it was a good way to start off this whole Greek Mythology theme, but there are things that I believe didn't need to be changed, for example, Free Time, Arrow-Shooting Spell, along with a lot of other stuff. When I first joined the revamped server with the new spells, it felt like me joining a complete

I have a couple of suggestions that I quickly gathered and gave thought to. Some might not make sense at all or sound stupid, so more ideas from other members would be cool.



Spells

I started thinking of spell names that could be somewhat inspired by different games, and languages and still be understandable. I kind of got distracted halfway through and lost my interest in thinking of proper spell names, so I made a lot of them very basic and understandable, and others just dumb. Either way, feel free to change, remove, and add spell names that you think would be cool to have. 

I was personally aiming at spell names that are easy to remember and knowing which one is which when you first read its name. Here it goes:



Anatrope (Everte Statum) = Yeetus


Ekrixio (Confringo) = Blasting Curse (or just Blast)

Loriolo (Expelliarmus) = Disarming Charm (or just Disarm/Disarmus)

Prasitha (Verdimillious) = Pew Pew

Tomisynecha (Sectumsempra) = Bleeding Curse (or Blood Curse)

Zalisifa (Stupefy) = Freezing Curse (or Paralise)

Anagyolens (Legilimens) = no clue

Arrus Launchus (Arrow Shooting Charm) = Harpoon Shooting Spell   lol

Chorapoda (Tarantellegra) =

Empodita (Impedimentia) = 

Gargalra (Rictusempra) = Tickling Charm

Kafsio (Incendio) = Ignite

Kano Emeto (Slugulus Eructo) =

Kapno (Fumos) = Smog Cloud ??? pepega

Kefali Fouskas/Duo (Bubble Head Charm/Duo) =

Komfeti Xorki (Confetti Charm) = 

Neriovolo (Aguamenti) = Hydro Shot

Sioplestomale (Mimblewimble) =

Skoteino (Obscuro) =

Synchyso (Confundo) = 

Pliga Thera (Vulnera) = Divine Healing

Remedia (Episkey) = Light Healing

Ble Floges (Bluebell Flames) = Ignitus (Or Blue Ignite)

Chroma Lampa (Colour Lumos) = Colour Light (or Colour Flash)

Lampa (Lumos) = Light (or Flash)

Perimeno Soteria (Expecto Petronum) = 

Argormum (Arresto Momentum) = 

Arpaze Anakalum (Carpe) = 

Flot Antikeima (Wingardium Leviosa) =

Fouskonus (Inflatus) =

Fterote Anavae (Alarte) = 

Katevao (Descendio) =

Kinisomus (Mobiliocorpus) = Levitate

Lykisku (Spongify) = Boing (or just Leaping Spell)

Othilso (Depulso) =

Ripserio (Ascendio) =

Topos Emporiou (Switching Spell) =

Travixio (Accio) =

Travixio Duo (Accio Statum) =

Aspida Xorki (Shield Charm) = Shield

Emfanium (Aparecium) =  Cancel Invisibility

Kalymo (Protego) = Protector

Perio Hexio (Salvio) = Invisible

Petria (Duro) = Heavy Shield

Prostamyolens (Occlumens) =

Xepagate (Rennervate) = Recovery

Acanthis (Avis) = 

Chromallia (Colorvaria) =

Exaplio (Engorgio) =

Kalliloulou (Herbifors) =

Krotida Xorki (Firecracker Charm) =

Perioro (Reducio) =

Vlastatou (Anteoloctulia) =

Kata Skoto (Avada) =

Vasnaio (Crucio) =

Nebulus Nox (Apparition) =

Nebulus Lux (White Apparition) =

Pyrkagom (Firestorm) = Flame Strike

Diagrius (Deletrius) = Disintegrate

Elefthio (Relashio) =

Kapno Volorem (Fumos Volorem) =


 
Classes

Here I'll be presenting suggestions for the classes that we currently have. I believe it would be nicer to have changes and similarities to the old system.

Ecclesia (Great Hall) - Assembly

Interlude (Free Time) - Just keep it Free Time

Recreation (Quidditch) - Honestly, any sport in the muggle world would be suitable in this section, maybe football (soccer) idk.

Alchemy (Potions) - Alchemy/Witchcraft is fine to me

Astrology (Astronomy) - I believe that Astronomy would've been fine to keep. It's a real subject in the real-life world.



I have a lot more ideas/suggestion I'd like to share, but I'm super tired rn

imo the spell names should definitely be changed, I can't pronounce 99% of them lol. 

+ astronomy should be kept as a class since it's not reserved specifically for the HP universe, its a normal subject. (Astrology and Astronomy are different and Astronomy is MUCH easier to teach about. unless u want to teach about horoscopes n star signs n shit lol) 

Also mirroring what Etlenor and Moomoo said, Ecclesia and Interlude should just be called Assembly and Free time. (Leisure period or something similar could work too)

Naming the spells in Greek does make it seem a little painful to remember. I have a suggestion:
Simply name spells in plain English so it's easy enough to discern what they do and incorporate Greek Mythology when appropriate.
You could even get lazy and base spell titles on dark souls sorcery
E.g

The former Verdimillious : Spirit Arrow
The former Mostro : Heavy Spirit Arrow
... 'Great Heavy Spirit Arrow' 'Crystal Spirit Arrow'. Stuff like that.

Spells could be titled in a way akin to dark souls miracles too.
You could base spells on Greek Gods where appropriate. That would also provide teachers with something to base lessons on too. Creating stories about the spells.
E.g
Former Wingardium Leviosa : Tongs of Hephaestus 

I can't be expected to be creative enough to do all of these but the idea would be for it to make logical sense and be in plain English. You would not necessarily even have to do it for every spell. Just having some spells based on Greek Gods or Mythology, in plain English, would be more memorable and be an improvement in my opinion. I would also refrain from leaning too heavily on Greek Gods/Mythology except in circumstances where the God is very well known and makes sense. Ultimately, players should be able to open their spell list and not require a lecture in Greek or a chart.

+1 on some form of change happening to them.

It really is annoying to remember now which spell is which, if we had the icons then it'd be a bit easier but I don't think that would solve the issue.
