  I really, REALLY would like to know the latin-esque spell translation to common man's english for the incantations. ^_^

    Google Translate didn't quite help as much as I'd hoped (didn't parse 'avatula' or 'remissionisa'), but this one looks to be a mantra of phrases like "spirit be free", "do not stay", and "escape your bonds"

    
    

    ...so like Sid said, pretty much just giving it a push to break free

      I've been working on learning Latin for three years and let me tell ya, google translate is terrible at Latin.

        Machine translation always kinda sucks! That's why I barely try with it, since all I can remember from Latin in school is 'Caecilius est in horto'

          I know, right? Romans! Y U NO HAVE WORD ORDER!?

            My first complaint on Latin would be "what sort of degenerate language still uses cases"

            
            

            ... At which point Wolfe might smack me upside the face on behalf of all germans.

            
            

            (Also, my Finnish ancestors would probably put some kind of nasty but gramatically messy curse upon me)

    I make it (with Google's considerable help) as:

    
    

    "Be free, Spirit of Pride, you are a bird, you are released, do not stay, proud Spirit, escape your chains, Spirit, you are a bird, you are released, do not stay, proud Spirit, escape your chains, do not stay, Spirit, be..."

      I add in a lot of random letters and copy-paste bits around, so I'm rather impressed you untangled it!

        yeah, but translate with Google word by word and Google offers potential corrections for the words, no?

        
        

        I suppose the only truly impressive feat here is the dedication considering the amount of work involved... not saying that somehow diminishes the awesome though. :)

  Vee may be a little too full of herself ... but she's not stupid.

  It must be tough to do the initial in spoken language.

    What do you think they go to school for? It's all about the {[([b][u]E[/u][/b])]}nunciation!

  Now they just have to hope it works before they reach the parade . . .

  ...so does that make Pride Daffy Duck?

  Anyone else catch the 'superbia' (pride) in the, uh, magic-ese (Latin perhaps)?
