AND HERE WE HAVE ROSWELL'S CARD. (Nessiah/Roswell pactio)

Latin is officially brainbreak. Did you know that there's no term for necromancy in Latin, despite the fact that the word necromancy comes DIRECTLY FROM Latin? Hence, I had to improvise with Roswell's title. It's Necromagus Pulchrius, meaning "the beautiful necromancer" (pulchrius meaning not only physical, but spiritual beauty).

The fonts that I've been using aren't exactly those that are used on real Negima! pactio cards; I've been using the closest I can find (Minion Std, Venetian Bt, Wide Latin, and Libra), but I wish I had access to the fonts that Akamatsu really used. BECAUSE CLOSER TO CANON MAKES IT LOOK BETTER.

Anyway, these are a lot of fun. Again, check my LiveJournal for more commentary on Roswell's card. I'll get the other three done... soon. I think.

Once again, it looks very nice, Dalia-chan. :D Roswell looks so cute with his ankh. Of course, I'd kind of like to see him make a pact with someone else... *cough*Rosary*cough*

I was up all night polishing my chandelier. So behave yourselves. I'd wouldn't want to have to drop it on anybody.

Heh well the great thing about Latin is that we make words from it because it's a dead language and isn't going to change. So taking pieces of it for words is a great thing! I do admire you for looking up all that Latin though you don't know it really hehe. <3 Latin.

Hawaaa. Isn't he ADORABLE though. XD

Actually, Roswell and Rosary /did/ pactio when they were little kids. During the Awkward Years, they broke it, however (Rosary actually went and ripped up her card...); Rosary's reaction when we did our pactio (we had quite an audience) was interesting. I think she's jealous.




(well, there /was/ some application of tongue, but really~. We're not //like that// like that, you know...) :3

Review. You have no excuse.

XD I just found a really nice online program that's a Latin/English dictionary. I was still like "WUT YOU SAYIN THERE IS NO WORD FOR NECROMANCY D:", but it made coming up with everyone's titles easier. Sooo much easier. XD
