The connection between magical names and astral energies

A multitude of magical monikers In the world of magic and fantasy, names hold great power. They are imbued with meaning and significance, representing the essence of the individual to whom they belong. From ancient folklore to contemporary novels, a multitude of magical monikers have captured our imaginations and transported us to enchanting realms. One of the most iconic examples of a magical name is Harry Potter. The name Harry is derived from the Old English name Henry, which means "ruler of the home." This name perfectly captures Harry's destiny as the chosen one to defeat the Dark Lord and restore peace to the wizarding world.

I had never heard of this NM and obviously had no idea of the drop. One day my brother was hunting RSE down in the Maze as his high 40 or 50ish THF. Suddenly he says to me "I think I found some NM. His name is Argus." He /checked again to verify it was indeed Impossible to Gauge. He asked me if he could kill it, I said I had no idea but to try anyway. He claimed it right as another THF showed up.

" This name perfectly captures Harry's destiny as the chosen one to defeat the Dark Lord and restore peace to the wizarding world. The surname Potter, on the other hand, has alchemical connotations, as it refers to a person who works with clay and transforms it into something new. This name highlights Harry's transformation from an ordinary boy to a hero.

I had never heard of this NM and obviously had no idea of the drop. One day my brother was hunting RSE down in the Maze as his high 40 or 50ish THF. Suddenly he says to me "I think I found some NM. His name is Argus." He /checked again to verify it was indeed Impossible to Gauge. He asked me if he could kill it, I said I had no idea but to try anyway. He claimed it right as another THF showed up.

I wasn't paying attn to his fight but he said he was gonna beat him it would just take a bit cuz of the reduce melee dmg. Few minutes later he's yells out "Peacock Amulet?!" Of course I ran over to check it in his treasure pool. I saw it and proceeded to try and strangle him. To this day I regard him as one of the luckiest people I know on FF and he's also one of only 2 or 3 people I've ever seen with the PCA.

I had wanted to camp Argus for a Peacock Amulet for about 2 years. I didn't start until a little over 2 months ago on the December update for Asura. I woke up early to camp for a few hours. I don't have a very flexible schedule so It's incredibly hard to camp NMs like Argus. Though I must say Argus is probably the WORST NM to camp. Along with others like Padfoot (which I got drop on also years ago). It's a 50% chance that either he or leech king pops. And on top of that its about a 17% drop rate which drops the PCA drop rate down to about 8% or so if you are even lucky enough to claim this. I have a friend that got his a few weeks before me. He waited Non-stop for him to pop in the maze. I would see him there and ask him how long he had camped. it was always like 25-30+ hours. Plus he is horribly over camped. probably get 100 people pass through for him a day. So all that put together makes this NM insane to camp.

So right after the December update i went and camped until i had to get ready.
I logged back on 30min later and I thought to myself. "What if Argus spawned right in front of me 10 seconds after logging in." I read on here that a PLD logged on and he popped right in front of him and claimed not knowing what he was. So I was thinking that and 10 seconds later after I logged in again ARGUS SPAWNED RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. A random COR that i know just showed up was running and ran right into him and claimed before I could. Just about the second he spawned. I was on my THF and asked if you wanted to use my TH. I helped kill him and he got the drop and didn't even give me a reward. barely even a thanks. So I was in shock, I know this is just a game. And I always say that. Real Life matters, a game doesn't. But for some reason I couldn't get this out of my head. there were even a few nights where I couldn't sleep and my heart started pounding because I would dream that he just spawned in front of me. Sounds horrible i know. I have never done that before. so a few more weeks go by and I am Still stressed because of it. I wanted the RARE/EX Peacock Amulet so bad. It's a sign of success to me. I find out there is going to be a maintenance, so I wait around trying to log on every 15 sec before the update is suppose to end. I finaly get through 10 min early and throw up a widescan. I SEE ARGUS. i flee and run to him. Someone had already claimed him about 30 sec before I got there. within a minute there were about 15 people standing around him.

So after this I said to myself no more Argus for a while. It was driving me crazy. I was camping in between updates as well. So It was taking a lot of time for nothing. Then on 2/19/2009 I had another Dream about Argus spawning. I could really feel it again this time like I did before when he spawned in front of me.
So I went there and camped for a couple of hours along with about 5 others. It was getting late so I had to go to sleep. I woke up a couple of hours later and ARGUS WAS SITTING RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME! I had no idea how long he had been there. I claimed super fast, killed, and got my new Peacock Amulet FINALLY!

I'm so glad I got that out of the way. I accomplished what I set out to do. And that's what mattered to me the most.

BTW, this is the best thing you can put on your neck as most every melee job until Sea torques.

Another famous magical name is Gandalf from J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Lord of the Rings" series. The name Gandalf is derived from the Old Norse language and translates to "wand elf." This name perfectly encapsulates Gandalf's role as a wise and powerful wizard who wields a staff as his primary magical tool. The name also evokes the image of an otherworldly being, connected to the natural world and imparting ancient knowledge to those who seek it. In the realm of children's literature, we have the beloved character Matilda from Roald Dahl's novel of the same name. Matilda is a diminutive form of the name Matilda, which means "mighty in battle." This name is fitting for a young girl who possesses extraordinary intelligence and telekinetic powers. It represents her inner strength and determination to overcome obstacles and stand up against injustice. The use of magical monikers in literature is not only limited to characters but also extends to places and objects. For example, in C.S. Lewis's "The Chronicles of Narnia," the magical world itself is named Narnia. The name Narnia is said to derive from the Latin word for "cabinet" or "wardrobe," referencing the portal through which the protagonists enter this enchanting realm. This name adds a touch of mystery and intrigue, evoking a sense of wonder and adventure. In conclusion, a multitude of magical monikers populate the realm of literature and enchant our hearts and minds. These names hold deep symbolism and significance, reflecting the nature, destiny, and essence of the characters, places, and objects they represent. They serve as gateways to otherworldly realms and ignite our imaginations, reminding us of the power of language and the magic it can create..
