Et Cetera - Which means “And so forth,” but also, “There be Whales,” as it stems from the word “Cetacea,” to mean “Large Bulky Things that live in the Ocean. Too numerous to list, but they are there.” That’s what people mean when they say etcetera, even though they mean et cetera. Used especially when people don’t want to give a bother about the things they could include in their list, which is just as well, seeing as how people give just as much a fuck about Whales as they do Lists. When people use the abbreviated form, I know how little they care about lists or Whales. If you’ve read Herman Melville, please have some respect, and use “et cetera,” or better yet, “et cetacea.” You’ll get an Automatic “A,” for having to explain this to a Professor. They will be dumbfounded. I know, because I existed on stupid shit like this.

Infinarum - A rather long book containing everything ever written, or to ever be written. It contains the very small, such as “A,” which was written by the first Writer to have Writer’s Block, to the very large, such as “ZGGGGHHHHJPASDHASKJDHASJKDHGODBIUYY…” which was written by a Ginger Cat that fell asleep on a Keyboard. Although many scholars are quick to reject both chapters of the book, new research shows that Cats are capable of typing with their six to eight nipples, and in fact, are trying to communicate in a language vastly superior to our own. Well, you know the old adage. Anything that is sufficiently more advanced than what we’ve got, is perfectly indistinguishable from dumb shit, so we might as well call it Magic. Other research confirms that the soul of wit, truly is brevity, and so “A,” contains multitudes.

Negromancy or Nigromancy - Black Magic. The name confuses people about what that class of Magic is actually about. So that school was later dissolved and incorporated into other schools of Magic.

Phoenix Peppers - A member of the family Capsicum infinitum. They continue to grow without help or cultivation. The peppers are the favorite food of Phoenixes, so if you find them, you will also find Phoenixes guarding them. If one has enough on hand, one can win the favor of a Phoenix. Prepared in the right way, they are very delicious, but prepared wrongly, one wishes death. They have a fruity, smoky flavor, and a heat that creeps up on you. The burn can last for several days, causing insanity. it is said that it is the basis for Immortality potions, but most people have failed extraordinarily in producing the method.
Prima Materia - A mysterious component from which all things you see before you were formed. In theory, the best dishes can be conjured from out of the aether, simply by commanding this, the first element. Some call it Chaos, some call it Hunger. Others call it Quarks and Leptons. It is the basis for which the Philosopher’s Stew is created. A stew that can not only transform base ingredients into the divine, but also has a similar effect on people, bringing out the best in them.

Sigil - Every Snackolyte designs a powerful symbol that represents them. Sort of like an artist’s signature. It has many uses, but is primarily used as a method of knowledge transference. One simply inscribes their Sigil, in a magical ink, at the back of a book, and all of it’s contents are instantly transferred into their mental library. It’s no substitute for reading, because if the Sigil were damaged or removed, so too is the knowledge from their mental library. That’s why Snackolytes are urged to continue in the ancient tradition of copying text by hand so as to commit everything to memory.
Snackolyte - An Acolyte, but with Snacks. They assist in ceremonial rites by performing minor duties, such as making and offering Snacks.
