Need Latin translations

Factual Questions
1

Even though asking for Latin translations seems to be something of a lame GQ by Pit standards, I’m in need of a few at the present time. I’ve looked through the first few pages of Google, but the search for “Latin translators” only brought up downloadable programs and people who seem to think Pig Latin is the pinnacle of Western comedy. Since I’m at work, downloading is not an option.

So, if any would be so kind, I’m looking for Latin equivalents of the following:

summoner (as in someone who conjures animals/elementals/extraplanar whathaveyous)

enchanter (and I’d really rather not have the Latin translation of Tim for this one)

illusion

demon

earth (as in soil, not the name of the planet, if they happen to be different)

Thanks much.

summoner — appellator
enchanter — incantator
illusion — illusio
demon — daemon
earth — terra

Have you looked at the online Language Dictionaries page? It’s great!

For which the genitives are probably appelatoris, incantoris, illusionis, and terrae. i don’t know the genetive of daemon, and I’m guessing on the others, except for terrae.

If you’re planning on putting them together in some sort of sentence, you’ll need various other forms, which can all be derived from the genetive if you know Latin grammer. If, as I suspect, you don’t, then you’d better ask us about the full sentence, and we can figure out what forms to use.

Also note that appelator and incantor probably don’t carry quite the same sense of meaning that you’re looking for. “incantor”, for instance, is the root of modern “enchanter”, but the Latin word refers to how he casts his spells (by magic words), wheras the English is usually used to refer to the sort of effects produced by those spells (control or influence over others).

They’re going to be used as adjectives-Magister Aeris, Magister Umbra, etc.

Thanks for the responses, guys.

I think Magister Aeris looks right . . . but you’ll want to change the second one to Magister Umbrae, if ‘Master of the Shadow’ is your intent. Chronos astutely guessed right, that you’ll need the genitive case.
