Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities

I'll start:

  • Virtual Memory
  • Single source of truth
  • Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)

Your turn

Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names

    Priority inversion sounds frighteningly subtle. You might not notice you’re under the effects of the spell because it manipulates priorities rather than bends will directly.

    It still feels like your intent, but you’ve been rendered massively ineffective and it may take ages for someone to suspect magical involvement.
