Image transcription:

Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities

I'll start:

  • Firewall
  • Virtual Memory
  • Single source of truth
  • Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)

Your turn

Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names

Encapsulation kinda sounds like it could be a spell too. That's 2/3 pillars of OOP.

The last one was atomization, right? Gets a bit out of fantasy, but can definitely sound magical

I cast atomization on the giant. (9th level warlock spell)

On a failed save the targets head evaporates killing them outright.
On a success roll a d4 (or higher for higher number of limbs) and the limb clockwise from the head evaporates. Dealing either 25% or 150HP which ever is higher damage.
