I also do not like this idea. It is very confusing. Moreover most of 
your shortcuts are regular names of Unix commands.

For new users I would created links started with smgl- (smgl-cast; 
smgl-dispel; smgl-scribe; ...) so if user does not know the right 
command he/she just writes smgl- and presses TAB and can see all sorcery 
commands.

Users can use bash-completion.
