Computer science terms that sound like fantasy RPG abilities
I'll start:
- Firewall
- Virtual Memory
- Single source of truth
- Lossless Compression (this one sounds really powerful for some reason)
Your turn
Hard mode: Try not to include closer to domain-specific things like javascript library names
Kernel Space - banishes the target to a plane of existence filled with corn
B Tree - an AOE summon of a permanent swarm of bees in the targeted area until the bees all die or leave naturally
Monad - device that transmutes one set of spell components into another. These can be strung together to form very complex things.
Extended Backus-Naur Form - Allows one to transform into a memetic form to be carried in the mind of another; also extends to your clothing and any carried items.
- rowhammer
- rainbow table
- global interpreter lock
- race condition (atrocity?)
- core dump
Bounds execption: Allows larger objects to fit in smaller containers, ritual spell effective for 1 day, can be upcast to increase amount of "overfill", some check when retrieving the item for a chance of "corruption" (small chance to retrieve a different item, or have the "overfill" become something different like have the outer edge of a bar of gold be meat)
Paralellization: High level time magic, Allows the target multiple turns to be taken simultaneously, but an equivalent cooldown afterwards (waiting for all threads or jobs to return before being able to continue), so 3 turns at once means 2 turns the target can't do anything after.
Split brain configuration: Allows focusing on multiple concentration checks/spells at once. This could also be called paralellization, or multithreaded.
Pass By Reference enchantment: requires two identical items. Once enchanted, changes to one happen to both. Room for all sorts of shenanigans.
Private field: cast on an area to prevent entry/visibility into it by unauthorized entities. Sounds inside are not audible to unauthorized entities outside of it.
This just reinforces that one short of piratesoftware saying all programmers are wizards.

I don't know what kind of spells these would be but I fear the wizard who knows them.
Artificers use assembly language to cast their spells.
1st level wild shape ability byte.
4th level wild shape ability megabyte.
8th level wild shape ability gigabyte.
9th level wild shape ability terabyteBonus 0th level ability: nibble
Default Gateway

Memory leaks
Layers of abstraction
Master branch
Void function
- scroll snapping
- unit tests
- vulnerability
- fastboot
- root access
- abstraction level
- unity framework
- Big endian (a very powerful NPC)
- Hardware abstraction (a spell that makes all the stuff disappears)
- Obfuscation (invisibility spell)
- Multiplexing (ability to cast several spells as one)
- Dangling reference (when wrong information is given by somebody)
- Curiously Recurring Template Pattern (basically crop circles)
- Pure virtual method (anything somebody learned but will never use)
- Diamond inheritance (when someone in the party dies and all of their money is spread accross the others)
Can you tell what's my job?
Makes me think of a net you use to capture things that are on the ethereal plane.
