This is what scientific talk purged of non-Germanic words looks like:
>The firststuffs have their being as motes called *unclefts*.
>These are mightly small; one seedweight of waterstuff holds a
>tale of them like unto two followed by twenty-two naughts. Most
>unclefts link together to make what are called *bulkbits*. Thus,
>the waterstuff bulkbit bestands of two waterstuff unclefts, the
>sourstuff bulkbit of two sourstuff unclefts, and so on. (Some
>kinds, such as sunstuff, keep alone; others, such as iron, cling
>together in ices when in the fast standing; and there are yet
>more yokeways.) When unlike clefts link in a bulkbit, they make
>*bindings*. Thus, water is a binding of two waterstuff unclefts
>with one sourstuff uncleft, while a bulkbit of one of the
>forestuffs making up flesh may have a thousand thousand or more
>unclefts of these two firststuffs together with coalstuff and
>chokestuff.

I think Wizards should talk like this.

Scientific language purged of Germanic words would be Latin mixed with bits of Greek. English is a Germanic language after all.

How is this /tg/?

>>43706287
Why? Scientific talk is mostly Greek and Latin because, for all of the periods we associate with Western fantasy, Latin was the academic language. Wizards wouldn't work wizardry in the vulgar tongue. That would be, well, vulgar.

This is basically what science sounds like in romance languages

Fuck you, that doesn't make it /tg/

>>43707126
Don't you know? Everything and nothing is /tg/ related.
>>
>>43706287
It only sounds weird because you aren't used to it.
If this was the situation you had grown up with, it would be perfectly normal.

>>43706287
In D&D wizards have their own language for magic.
In other settings this is true too.
If not at least magic was invented in the past and are secret or non divulged knowledge.
So I think you are wrong

What's /tg/'s favorite current model of car?
I'm asking because I'm totally going to use this in a game, not because I'm shopping around for a new car.
>>
>>43706830
I guess the idea would be that magic is not science?
So wizards use Germanic terms, clerics use Greek terms and alchemists use Latin terms?
Might add a bit of depth to a setting, guilds guarding their trade secrets or something.

What is this faggotry?

Redundant duplicate much?
>>
German sounds like buffyspeak that somehow manages to get its point across very well? You don't say.
>>
Yeah, water, stuff, iron, and God knows how many other words there are Germanic.
>>
>>43706730
Well I fail at reading comprehension then. My bad.
>>
>>43707990
Duplication for emphasis, it's valid.
