Hey, help me come up with some good Latin phrases to speak when centering and using magic skills. No, not Hispanic gang phrases, but the dead language kind of Latin.

I never took Latin and only know a few phrases and what they mean. If you know some (and the pronunciation) and the translation, and a cool time to say them, by all means let me know.

Or if there is a good web site, link me or let me know.

Variations on common sayings would be nice, too. Like instead of caveat emptor (let the buyer beware), have it be let the Johnson beware. Carpe Ingram. In god we trust, all others cash. Etc..

Ok, maybe I should have googled first and seen the wikipedia list of phrases. Anyone care to translate/transpose some that could be used in game?
