I thought of this one too.
I searched the web for an ancient greek equivalent, but couldn't find
the word for "spell book".

There are many words to express the idea of "spell" :

The most pertinent seems to be Κήλημα, what could be transcribed by "Kelema".

I also looked for "formula" : φορμαλεία (phormaleia).

But using greek words may not be the best solution for Mageia-app-db.

Cheers,
Rémi
