Necratoid Wrote:A clone spell means that its a spell that does basically the same thing....not to my ear, it doesn't. I can see how you might arrive at that definition, but it certainly isn't what came to my mind, and apparently not to anyone else's mind either. (It's becoming increasingly apparent, at least to me, that the way your mind works leads you to make assumptions and/or logical leaps that don't seem to occur - and maybe not even to make sense - to the rest of us; for another example, even with the additional explanation, I can only barely see the connection in your previous post. That kind of individuality is not necessarily a bad thing, and I've done the same kind of thing in some cases myself, but it does tend to get in the way of effective communication.)
When I see/saw the phrase "DDR clone spell", I immediately read it as one of two things:
* "DDR" "clone spell": a spell, cast using DDR somehow, which creates a clone of something. In other words, a "Dance Dance Revolution cloning spell".
* "DDR clone" "spell": a spell which creates a clone ( ~= "knockoff") of DDR - or, I suppose, a spell cast using such a clone. (Which could be potentially interesting if it did mean "Double Data Rate", though that's not how I interpreted it.)
The possibility that "clone" might be being used in something like the same sense as in the phrases "IBM clone"or "Napster clone" et al. didn't even occur to me.
