One of our LUG members kept pointing out that our names were silly and no
corporation would want something like this. I disagreed as only the admins
would know the names. ;) However, a themed Sorcery wouldn't be too bad an idea
in the future, especially since we're all about options! ;)

We could use more generic names in Sorcery, or just write wrappers on the
outside that translate it to the correct names, which wouldn't even be too
much
work (I hope).
