WAIT! WAIT! The language of magic! This is a GREAT idea!
Translate all the SQL syntax into pseudo-Latin words, give your database
fields odd names, and make people type in the queries in this strange
fictional language. That would be so cool.
Well, it would be cool for us programmers, anyway. I'm sure the average
schmuck who just wants to play a wizard would be really annoyed by it.

The more complex spells would by necessity become longer and more
involved. I like that. :)
