Title: spanish translations of game terms
Post by: Sailor Vulcan on November 17, 2014, 04:28:35 PM

Ataque: attack
Encantamiento: enchantment
Equipamiento: equipment
Criatura: creature
Conjuro: conjuration
Hechizo: incantation

Does this work? I'm not sure what the generic word for spell would be in this case. Normally incantation and conjuration are the same word in spanish, conjuro, but that obviously doesn't work in mage wars. Anyone have any ideas? Maybe we don't need the generic word for spell, and the word "magía" would suffice?

What do you think?

Also:

encantamiento obligatoro: mandatory enchantment

mandato: command
embruja: curse

Égida: aegis
Armadura: armor
una Esquiva: a defense (literally, a “dodge” or an “avoid”)

Ataque cuerpo a cuerpo: melee attack
Ataque a la distancia: ranged attack
Ataque a la zona: zone attack


Arcane: Arcane
Sagrada: Holy
Oscura: Dark
Mente: Mind
Guerra: War
Natura: Nature

Agua: Water
Fuego: Fire
Aire: Air
Tierra: Earth

That's as far as I've gotten so far.
