Public SourceMage Discussion List

Do you think the corporate world would take Sourcemage more seriously if 
 we had a "corporate theme", such as ...

summon -> recruit, hostile-takeover
cast -> merger, hire
sorcery -> management
scribe -> archive
gaze -> report, consult
dispel -> fire, disolve, liquidate, lay-off

Just another thought :)
