Alright, I've got a character that I'm getting ready for a PbP game. He's based off of John Constantine, so his magical style involves some Christian elements.

Well, I just played the Constantine video game. Didn't like it very much, but there was one really cool thing: the latin chants that JC uses for his spells. So I've decided to include that element in my character's magical incantations.

So here's a couple questions I need help on:

1. Is there some kind of English-to-Latin translator on the internet that I can create my own incantations with?

2. For anyone that does know Latin, does anyone know what the phrase "Ego por sit perum" means, if anything? It was in the game and it just sounds damn cool.

Thanks.
