necromancer Explanation: Если Вы спрашиваете о "порчельники", то это, скорее всего тот, кто наводит порчу, т.е. приносит вред при помощи черной магии. Вообще-то в разных играх у них могут быть специфические названия. А scroll - свиток. |

Порча 2. По суеверным представлениям: заболевание, вызванное колдовством, наговором ворожей. Напустить, наслать, навести порчу на кого-л. http://www.gramota.ru/slovari/dic/?word=�����&all=x hex intransitive verb : to practice witchcraft transitive verb 1 : to put a hex on 2 : to affect as if by an evil spell : jinx noun 2 : spell, jinx http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/hex?show=1&t=12859... hex n. 1. An evil spell; a curse. tr.v. hexed, hex·ing, hex·es 1. To put a hex on. http://www.thefreedictionary.com/hex -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 5 hrs (2010-10-01 22:45:25 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Linguistically, порчельник is a made up word that could either refer to "one that hexes" or "something that is used in hexing." From the game itself we know that it's the latter - it's an amulet containing one hex or another. I suppose the English localizers didn't want to complicate things and just went with 'hex' -- even though a порчельник is not a hex, but a container, or a vessel if you will, full of hexes. I hope this help! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 days16 hrs (2010-10-05 10:17:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I hope this helpS - sorry for the typo |
