Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities

I'll start:

  • Firewall
  • 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

    Variable name - 7th level wizard spell.

    For the next 24hours; nothing about the targets identity may be discovered by magical or mundane means. Anyone inquiring about the target has a plausible and consistent story placed in their mind instead; it doesn't matter what the target tells them or what they see.

    Someone with the Truesight ability; will know that there is magical concealment active, but will be unable to discern any details about the target.
