Useful, but in the same theme. The only thing worse than having a weird naming scheme is having an inconsistent one.

I disagree! Sacrifice makes no sense, I like submit. I vote for an

that make sense rather than bad names that are chosen simply because
they fit some silly D&D theme. There's a lot of people at work that run
Mandrake, and I try to explain the beauty of SMGL, but as soon as I get
to the part where you "cast" "spells", the argument is already lost,
SMGL has been derisively dismissed.

Oh, that's a great one! :) Perhaps we should make a "Dead Ale Wives"
theme for SMGL?! I'd be willing to help, but I haven't the foggiest on
how to extract sounds from an MP3.

Also, I agree with Aaron on the naming conventions, and the reactions
people get when I start talking about our 'sorcery' system. I'm not
suggesting we change the names (and I'm against doing so), but for future
names, lets keep them useful and not silly (besides, they could just as
easily be GURPS or Rifts names, and not just D&D. ;)).
