I need a name for this thing that is sort of like a sentient magical database- it looks like a speaker's podium with a huge spherical ornament embedded in the top. So far I've come up with The Orb (which I hate), The Pedestal (also not great but significantly better than the orb) and The Database. Any ideas?
How about The Informant?
what I do I go to google translate and put in the name of it (the Orb, the Pedastal, the Database) and translate it into a boatload of languages until I get one that I like.
how about magna sphaera, it mean the great sphere in latin
